Plus his genitals are green.  Possibly veiny.

Whenever I watched an episode of that show, I would feel awful for Bill Bixby.  Not because he was doomed to a life without enduring human relationships, not because he was being hunted by The Man.  I felt terrible because every time he turned into The Hulk, he would ruin whatever he was wearing.  Kids key in on the

Who turned the screw?

Also, think what they'll be able to do when they can have 4 words in the titles.

Peter says he’s planning to live in the old house for a while so that he
can do some work and improve the resale value. His first project should
be painting over that place where all the kids’ heights are marked. Or
at least hire a realtor who’ll catch those little details.

Compared to what we're likely to get from this show, I'd actually enjoy that ending.

Yeah, naming your TV show after a great movie is the sort of double-edged sword that can cut you up bad if it fails to live up to potential.

That's a really awful thing to say; The Killing is a remarkable movie, one of Stanley Kubrick's best, and …

My bad — I could have sworn that was an Australian accent.

Well, @avclub-04b1db04af40030c36b75c178653c6e1:disqus, that's a well-reasoned argument for the identity of the killer of Rosie Larson.  There's just one weak link in your chain of argumentation:  you are imputing a level of intelligence and consistency to the writers and producers of The Killing which has not been in

Not a problem — I probably overreacted because I am a huge Paul F. Tompkins fan, and I can't imagine any circumstance where I would speak badly of the man.  For my part, I'll be more careful in the future with my comments.

Well, because there's not a lot of pausing for the audience to stop laughing — as in MST3K, the comments come fast and furious.  Unlike MST3K, there was no way for me to rewind to catch it again.  And it was more than 2 years ago.  What I do remember is that I and the audience laughed harder at the line than at any

No, I said that Paul F. Tompkins is now too big for most of his fans, because he now has many, many more fans than he used to.  There is no spin on my part, just a willful attempt to misread my comment in the worst possible light on yours.  But nice try.

How so?  I saw him at Cobb's for the Comedy Death Ray show about 5 years ago, and he had just come off a stint with Kelsey Grammer Presents The Sketch Show, which was, he explained to us in hilarious detail, a horrific ordeal.  After that, he was available for autographs.

If this was the one at the S.F. SketchFest event, I was there too.  He commented on a short about grass.  I'm biased towards the guy, but he did have the funniest line of the night, which I have since forgotten.

Mega-corporation Veridian Dynamics has decided to save money at its home
office by installing sensors that will switch off the power whenever
nobody’s in a room, except that there’s a glitch in the system that
keeps it from recognizing people with dark skin.

Whenever Matthew Perry is in a movie or TV show, I keep waiting to see if they're going to slip up and show his right middle finger — the one that's missing a tip.

It wasn't an estate agent on the phone, it was the seller of the house.  Alicia was attempting to persuade her to sell her home at Alicia's offer because of her past with the property, and therefore telling her she'd call back later would have potentially been a huge mistake.

Except that cellphone coverage inside elevators tends not to be so good. There was a very good chance that the call would have been abruptly dropped once the doors closed.
