I never understood the purpose of spoiling the appearance of Christie Brinkley as Jerry's wife—weeks in advance.

And thank you, AV Club, for not SPOILING IT.

This isn't an article about a film adaptation of a Mitch Album novel.

This has been bothering me for years: I once heard David Brenner (back in the 1980's) claim that he only slept two hours a night, and that he stayed up all weekend, every weekend—and that he had "trained" himself to do this. Is this even possible? To do without chemicals, I mean.

This is exactly why I'm still watching the show—maybe I'm gullible, but I still have to believe that these writers are actually willing to take some risks with the formula in order to stay true to the characters. While this season has had me scratching my head a bit, I'm still laughing (the scene with Andy and Duke…

Well…and he also had to count on the fact that Paltrow would be at home so that he could kill her…then place the aforementioned delivery order—knowing exactly how long he would be held at the police station (including the time needed to search, photograph and fingerprint him, and get his mugshot, plus Mirandize him…

"Se7en" is that one movie about which I have truly mixed feelings, in that everything about it is brilliant—except for one thing: When I watched it, I just didn't buy the story, and after I watched it and thought about it, I really couldn't buy the story. Without spoiling things too much, I just cannot accept the…

Don't forget April going to vet school. Tom meeting Lucy—I'm surprised that the writers have allowed Ron's marriage to continue as it would seem to preclude the possibility of another "Ron And Tammy" episode. And I'm still waiting for the return of Greg Pikitus—I have a hunch he's been exiled to the same limbo as…

In retrospect, the Tom plot barely registered with me until now. Tom is essentially still the same guy doing the same thing he was doing back in Season 1—using his government position to schmooze local merchants for his own benefit. That he's found an actual investor and may have a worthwhile business idea (unless…

Character arcs…conflict…archetypes…the heroes' journey…if anything, certain elements of the show seem to have been drawn from concepts handed down in a junior college creative writing class. At this point, Jamm seems to be a go-to plot device crafted as the result of a complaint (from a focus group? a network exec?)…

I still have faith that the writers have a particular destination in mind for Leslie. Glad to see the show apparently moving towards whatever destination that might be, If this is all a big misdirect, well…

I'm not necessarily inclined to defend the "Twelve Years A Slave" audition sketch as anything particularly memorable, but what threw me in this review was the line about "the only satirical point …worth making is that most white people are too nice to say racist things…," as it strongly implied that "most white…

Not that I had a problem with Ann and Chris as characters on the show, but their romance and departure was a bit too Miles-and-Corky. Too many episodes from the first half of this season were stopped dead in their tracks by the insertion of second-unit scenes (usually featuring only Jones and Lowe and no other…

I did wonder what Leslie's stake in this whole Pawnee/Eagleton merger even was at this point—It's not as though she can be voted out of office again.

I kind of groaned when I saw Dyess-Nugent's byline, but “Come up with a terrifying illustration of the twisted mindset that leads to senseless bullying, so we can ascribe it to all our main characters” may be the best thing he's ever written.

I haven't seen "Forrest Gump" since the '90's; I don't remember disliking it, but what bothered me at the time was that people at the time were pronouncing it, not just the best picture of the year, but the greatest motion picture in the history of Hollywood.

I don't have time to go through all 1840 comments to see if anybody else has mentioned this. But the correct answer is "Terms Of Endearment".

Yeah, even the phrase "Michael Keaton comedy" has not aged well.

When Hughes died, he was proclaimed the voice of a generation.

As a child of the 80's, I was definitely more in the Ramis camp than the Hughes camp. Very sad.
