Pit Pat?  Is that you?

MTV is not letting Beavis yell "First!" anymore because some kid got hurt saying "first" in his backyard…

Check out the Ali-Frazier doc playing on HBO now to see more of Ali's lack of awareness of the consequences of his promotional style.  If Wepner had called Ali a "nigger" on The Mike Douglas Show like Ali requested, he would have been labeled a racist for life.  I always thought of Ali as a playful, great guy, but…

FYC did a killer cover of "Suspicious Minds", too.

Wait, how can we be sure this isn't just a cover of Willie Nelson's bankruptcy?

This show definitely warrants coverage.  I'm a high school teacher who's a child of the 80s (so I get the tons of 80s references) but I am in shock how many of my high school students love this show.  I figured it had a small niche audience, but it's a lot bigger than I realized, so the AV Club might serve itself well…

I agree with the previous review's obvious negative slant, but after a somewhat-negative start, this review showed an appreciation for what the show does well.  I don't think Shawn is as routinely obnoxious as the reviewer seems to think, but he does toe the line.  This was a good start to the season, and I hope to…

As a new dad, I loved that opening with Hope rampaging through the city…

"Freaks" is as unsettling as it gets.  Nice it helped The Ramones write a song, though…

In that joke, we would have also accepted The Call's "And the Walls Came Down"…

I remember as a kid being amazed by the ending of "Escape Clause" to the point that I still get excited (over three decades later) as it nears the point where he learns his fate.

Walking Distance still blows me away every time I watch it…

It's funny, I always knew it was Robert Loggia, but the ukelele instructor has that "Robert De Niro feel".  I think it was the squint they gave the character.  Still a great ep!

Some "people" call it "TV".  I call it television.  Notice I didn't say "TV".  "TV" is a nickname, and nicknames are for friends.  And television is no friend of mine.

Still one of my all-time favorite moments in any show.  Just yesterday, I was trying to describe that song to a friend.  And then we discusses the "Balla-caust"…

Boy, those Hillstrands must think their ship don't stink!

I logged on to Compuserve on my 28k modem and did a search on Excite, and it turns out we can't go back. Damn…

Love, love, love Michael Keaton. I still remember seeing him for the first time in "Night Shift" and being blown away. Then he continued kicking butt in Gung Ho, Mr. Mom, and Beetlejuice.
I'm shocked they haven't used one of his scenes in the previews because that would have sold me on seeing this. Knowing he's in…

Actress
Seriously, can we stop casting Ellen Page? The "sarcastic old soul with the witty tongue" is already tired, we don't need more.

Ed's Chinese Food
I already deleted the episode off my dvr so I can't go back and check, but I thought the Chinese Ambassador loved Ed's food and described it as authentic. Tom seemed to be the only one complaining about a lack of authenticity. Why did the judges not take the ambassador (or some other…
