Not to mention that he got the job in the first place by telling Steinbrenner how awful he was as owner. Right after George goes off about how much misery he's put the city of New York through, Steinbrenner says "Hire this man!" 

When I saw the article title, the very first name that came to mind was Creed. During the show's run, he:

In the pilot, Barney calls Andy "cousin Andy". I don't think that the writers kept that connection around in the later episodes, but it kind of explains a lot.

Season 3 is hands down my favorite of the entire run. It's not as obviously funny, but I loved the way that the relationships (Michael and Jan; Jim and Karen) were plotted to grow and then dissolve slowly over time. Much more believable than what we normally see on a sitcom.

"Quiet, you!"

As a person of color who grew up just outside of Savannah, I'm not surprised that Paula Deen has used the n-word. I'm not even particularly offended by it, because I understand the attitude of many Southerners. Here's the thing that makes my teeth itch….

That was one of my first laugh out loud moments in this season.

And When the Sky Was Opened was genuinely terrifying to me. It has some of the best expressions of absolute fear in the entire series. The moment when those last two astronauts realize that they "don't belong" is horrifying.

Max Winkler as young Barry Zuckerkorn is easily the best part of the first two episodes.

The success and the kids came after he stole a dead man's identity and snookered drunk Roger into thinking he had a job as an ad man. So yeah.

Being a kid of the '80s, I recognized none of the songs from "A Piano in the House" except "Brahm's Lullaby". When I watched the show with the closed captioning on, though, it listed the song titles, which are important in understanding why each song was chosen. Like when the antique shop owner gets sentimental…

I love you forever and a day for this.

As do I. I literally get angry. "How stupid does this screenwriter think I am?" - I have been known to say.

I agree completely. I think high-quality cable dramas have spoiled us (in a good way) so that we're unnecessarily harsh on the new ones that debut. Sure, House of Cards can be better and I hope it is better next season, but I'd much rather watch it than NCIS, CSI, or any other broadcast drama. And that makes me…

Redford. No doubt ever.

Goodness, Redford was a splendid sight to behold in those days. It made it all the more interesting that death would be portrayed so attractively.

We got a preview to this in the first scene of the pilot when Frank kills the dog because it's "suffering without purpose". I was genuinely sad about Peter because he was such an emotional trainwreck but I kept hoping he would get it together. However, the fact that he was killed after the audience began to be…

I understand completely. I started with Poirot when I was 11 and I didn't read my first Marple until I was in my mid-20s because of my obsession with the "little Belgian".

As did I. I can't remember the last time a non-fiction work held my attention like that.

Thanks. I'm going to check out that Rampersad book.
