For whatever reason, the older folks in my family keep raving about that one. My father, stepmother and uncle all loved it.

There were parts I enjoyed, like Scarlett's chemistry opposite Michael Pitt, and the performance from the woman playing her mother, but it took too long to get going and the whitewashing thing really bugs me.

The Week in Journalism and Community Involvement:
They just kept intertwining …

I have so many choices, but I'll be true to form and go with "One Flew Out of the Cuckoo's Nest," the Golden Girls finale. Not only did it have a thematic callback to the pilot (this time, someone does get married), but it had that excellent last scene:

Damn, that is one packed episode of Merv.

David Ross has a hell of a lot more sportsmanship than Charo, that's for sure …

Strange as it may seem, they give Stephen King adaptations nowadays very peculiar names.

Oh, and the George C. Scott Christmas Carol. That counts as prestige programming, right?

"A nervous business man in an airplane is convinced that his life is just a play and goes back in time." — I wonder if there were any stage dramas that took place exclusively on airplanes.

Station managers across America popped the Tums and thought, "Thank god we've got Dynasty."

Grimm kills its absolutely last monster

In another life, Melinda Dillon would have made one hell of a scream queen. And, of course, the best part is in the end, it turns out she's the only one terrified. Barry and the aliens are straight up playing with each other.

Do they say "Gee whiz" and carry Life Savers in their pocket?

That's funny, I could have sworn that all they did was dance in a heart-shaped pattern and give birth to wisecracking, pan-wielding brats that sound like Elmo.

Forget the whales, I wanna know about the sharks!
