I don't know why but June Foray's "Go on with you now!" in that sketch absolutely slays me. I think it's the slight pause right before, like her character forgot her line.

Round round world….

The radio show is so gloriously *weird* and so ahead of its time. I can't recommend it enough. Freberg was an influence on both Henson and Groening and you can definitely see why.

And Glen Morgan in a "productorial position" but I'm sure he'll end up writing something. And then there is a "maybe" from Vince Gilligan! So psyched you guys!

Seriously? No one is going to mention the dog-powered ocean liner?

Yeah, this ep - along with a lackluster ep of the X-Files- aired on my birthday so I have a surprisingly sharp memory of that night of TV. That KotH was definitely the highlight.

"This will be revisited on you."

Damn.

So…you actually USE Mailchimp!

His performance in Angels in America is easy to ignore because it's very understated and there are so many flashier performances but he is excellent.

He's actually pretty great in Angels in America and Little Children. His bland good looks can trick you into thinking he's boring, though. It really depends on the role.

I must have been very young, but I literally learned what it means to be alive:

"Debbie! I punched a window in for you baby! Take me back!"

Affinity is her best, I think (although a lot of people would say Fingersmith). I just did it for a book club and it's spectacular. Let me know what you think if you read it. No one talks about that one.

I like any and all references to "Deb" or "Debbie". There's one in each ep it seems.

Then there is the "rushing the halloween season" sketch and "Legends of Rock: The Band that Played California Lady"-both from Track of the Moon Beast. Also "Saddle soap. Cleaning compound of deceit".

It did what your VCR was supposed to do already (i.e. tape a program at an appointed time). It just made it easier.

Yet if I remember the commentary track correctly, the writers themselves didn't consider it satire either. (I remember because apparently Harry Shearer came up to them and said "This is the worst political satire I've ever read!" and they had to explain that wasn't really their aim. ) It's a tricky episode to pin…

I think this one is my favorite. It's just perfect.
