The second song was yacht rock ur-text "Sailing" by Christopher Cross.

No mention of crazy protective dad being played by McGyver?

I also hope Andre is recurring. Even appreciated the lampshading of the addition of a black character.

I'm paraphrasing from memory - "I'll wait for you these twelve to eighteen months. See you next Wednesday."

It was a grenade candle-holder, Doogie, but that grenade model is nicknamed a pineapple due to its shape.

NBC tried a couple years ago. In the wake of the popularity of the Sopranos, they aired a miniseries called "Kingpin" about an Ivy-educated gangster running the family cartel.

"I'm day-drunk! Get ready to see my dick!"

Same here - ever since she did an episode of Veronica Mars. And second on An American Crime - very good and chilling (and unfortunately true) story.

I agree - this special sounded great but it's disappointing that there's no "Art of Noise" or "Closet Freak".

You can bang my tom-tom.

But then who will play Lewis' and Hathaway's stern but caring chief as they solve crimes in Oxfordshire's manicured village?

Mad About You + Two and a Half Men
The show very much seems divided against itself a lot. There's an earnest small scale comedy about two people building a relationship and then it's surrounded by some competent but obvious broad material. I know that the creator used to work under Lorre on 2.5 Men and Lorre produces…

There's a clear setup of a season 5 arc of Sarah in jail with Gretchen with Michael trying to break her out and a female gang led by Lori Petty in the Knepper role as the…

Stop the Bunching
I understand the appeal to the producers (tighter, easier to film sequences at roadblocks and detours, a guarantee of a leg being decided at the last minute ensuring greater drama) but the increase in artificial bunching on the legs in the more recent seasons is weakening the show.

Fine, I'll be the asshole
Spalding INCURRED the wrath of Beiber fans. She did not INVOKE it - that would mean she actively called upon them to hate her.

Also in the running: Krieger's multiple "Me too"'s offscreen during the baby shower.

Ants.. all over my body…
Now help me find the nutmeg so I can make you some Malcolm X tea!

Gotta agree with starttomelt

misanthropicficus, that's one of my favorite funniest moments too. One of the few times Riggins seems like an actual teenager - his complete misreading of the tenor of the event and his awkwardness at public speaking creating the worst possible statement.
