I'm saying it here so no makes the joke about Revere's friend Dawes being the real Revolutionary hero and referencing the band.

But will they float?

I wouldn't bet against that. A last show performance of "Everlong" I assume (Dave's favorite song he's claimed).

They've won eleven Grammys. I think that kinda establishes them as critical darlings.

No, but I do not agree (although I do think some of their better known material is modern arena rock at its stoopidest).

What if he brutally murdered my grandparents?

And that was the day ElDan discovered Ctrl F.

Roger Ebert gets way too much love on this site, but that review is just perfect. If you can find it, there's a great video of Zweibel himself reading it from a Letterman appearance that does more justice to it than just the text.

I agree, but I always find it too creepy to correct someone in that scenario.

Since there's no TVClub review, I'll use this space to say that yes that was awful. I just wondered why they didn't just let the whole show be the opening stand-up set, as relatively weak as it was compared to his other routines.

As opposed to the pick-em pool I'm in, which involves looking at how everyone else is picking and swinging toward the majority as often as possible.

The Sturgeon story had the whole scientific creation angle which the Twilight Zone didn't have. The story may have been an inspiration in some way, but I would not call the episode an adaptation (as…

I think he meant that not even social outcast weirdos hang out there anymore.

It's a well known story among genre fans, but not exactly common knowledge for the average viewer so it's a little surprising it turned into a segment. Maybe the most obscure item to inspire a THOH parody.

A Pete Yorn concert. It was pretty good.

He already got the Kennedy Center honor in 2007.

It was about seventy-five percent a good movie (meaning the whole part where the one guy was dating the other guy's daughter should have been cut as an idiotic sideplot).

Google search results differ based on location and past search histories. Maybe I'm not in the target demo to know what this is.

I thought he always had a sense of humor about it (he's actually pretty funny, if stage banter is any indication) and had joked about it before. I guess maybe at some point the joke became too much for him.
