I can pretty much guarantee you that I won't be covering SMASH on Saturdays. Whether anyone else will is still up in the air.

No. I'll be doing next week for sure, and then we'll reassess during the week that Smash is off.

My wife and I do the same!

The video wasn't called "Girls On Film" though. It was called Duran Duran: http://www.amazon.com/Duran…

Yeah, I can see all that (and conceded some of it in the review). It may ultimately all seem more natural in retrospect.

It kills me that I failed to mention The Go Bag. I realized my omission about five minutes after this review went live.

Good catch. I still think it makes more sense for Tim to let Colt get arrested, but I failed to take that later scene into account.

That's a good reason to sign up! (Not being sarcastic; thanks for the info.)

No, I marked it down because it seemed so obvious that Shelby was Drew that I felt it was a mistake to end the episode without acknowledging it. I can't say whether this would've been obvious to me without reading the comments in previous weeks because, well, I did read them. And it could be that the way the…

Will definitely do, thanks!

The problem solved in the commercial is DVRs that only allow *two* shows at once, which is still pretty standard (though as I mention, more and more cable companies are bringing out DVRs that expand that to four or five). I know plenty of non-pro TV fans who wish they could have more than two channels recording on…

It's not in my immediate plans, but not out of the question. This is a weekly feature, and I could well run out of current ads to talk about fairly quickly.

It's not subtle ass-covering. I do think The Everly Brothers were primarily a singles act, and stand by that assertion. That they released a few cohesive albums amid a bunch of singles-and-filler collections doesn't change my impression, nor does it diminish my love for them as one of my all-time favorites.

The commenter might want to make himself familiar with the author's past writing on The Everly Brothers: http://www.avclub.com/artic…  http://www.avclub.com/artic…

No, the actual identities are clear. They're established up front and don't really change. The movie's pretty straightforward about when people are pretending, I thought.
