Family Guy
One of my favorite lines is when Chris Griffin says that he doesn't like the George Lopez Show because it only furthers the stereotype that George Lopez is funny. I think of that every time an ad for Lopez Tonight is on, which is way too often. Now it will never cross my mind again.

Not surprising that nobody's mentioned Junior Walker's balls-to-the-wall performance on Foreigner's Urgent, considering the manner in which bands like that are looked down upon here.

transmitter
The writers apparently don't put much stock in the short term memories of their viewers. Each time they showed Uncle Scott and Ben messing with that transmitter, which seemed like every three minutes or so, somebody made certain to mention how they were doing it to jam the aliens' signal.

Ryan Phillippe
What makes his sneering playboy in Igby Goes Down more credibly dramatic than the sneering playboys of his previous films?

I think Commissioner Gordon is the only non-over-the-top performance Gary Oldman's ever given.

Into the Great Wide Open by Tom Petty

Noah's beard
I figured out during this episode why Wyle sports a beard in this show. It's so he doesn't look exactly the same age, or younger, than the guy playing his oldest son. Seriously, we're supposed to believe Hal is 16? What's the little one (Matt?), anyway? 2 years old?

I remember seeing Robert Patrick on The Daily Show quite some time ago, either because he'd just started on X-Files or because he was in some movie that just opened.

Isn't Selena
kind of swarthy to play someone named Cordelia Winthrop-Scott?

The only
good things about Paul Dano's films generally come from the other actors. I can't stand his goofy, bland moon-face.

He's definitely not in sales. If he was, he probably couldn't get away with doing so little.

Moped?
That's a neat moped with no pedals. Oh wait, it's a Vespa.

Spader was the funniest of the interviews, and the only one that caused me to laugh aloud.

A good 98.7% of the songs Rush has recorded are shite (Tom Sawyer excluded.)

Theon's prostitute
"Also, I guess Theon's prostitute friend WASN'T taking the place of Shae? So why was she around then?"

Terrible actress
In this show, does Ally Walker inhale sharply prior to every sentence she utters like she did on Sons of Anarchy and at least one other thing I've seen her in? Apparently, that's supposed to convey spontaneity in her thought process, like, "Oh, this just came to me," or whatever. Instead it's just

I mean YOUR reckoning is flawless (I can't believe I did that.)

You're reckoning is flawless.

Once you get past the first 10 minutes, it gets better. My favorite part was when he's ordering hookers online and repeatedly, almost manically, talks with his assistant about smelling their "little butt holes" once they arrive.
