He's a great actor in a very limited range. The public started to realize that in 1994. Cast him as a corporate snake or callow jerk and he'll find subtle ways to differentiate the character from all the others and knock it out of the park for you. Cast him as a pure hearted crusader, best friend, or romantic lead

Price was a ladykiller. I know two women who met him. Mom met him at a dinner party where he kissed her wrist, turned on the old world charm, and "almost made me leave your father." Another friend met him at an art show where she said the ladies were fawning over him and he looked each one directly in the eyes and

Brickleberry is keeping some talented voice actors in work, as well as some terrible writers away from other shows. (I like to find the positive in things.)

Brisco County Jr. may be too well known for this, but what about Bruce Campbell's Jack of All Trades and it's strange companion Cleopatra 2525?

everybody sing along now… "Darkplace, Darkplace, Darkplace, Darkplace, Darkplace, Darkplaaaaace!"

I've liked this show because it has a heart big as any show on TV but this episode was needlessly cruel to it's secondary characters. Plot points in this seem dropped in from Two Broke Girl's discarded joke book.
The Pastor dying of shock at Barney and Robin's life and having sex in the office was cheap (and very,

Woah woah. We can take a lot here but that's a bridge too far.

That was a wonderfully pleasant visit with some old friends. It's a little recycled from Toy Story 2, but there were some good laughs, leggos, and a spotlight on Jesse. I'd be more than happy if they turned up once every few years with a little trifle like this.

Once you are at a point where you want to sample some guest host episodes I think "Gamer" is the most inspired of that lot.

Happy to see The Fireman getting some love, or even any acknowledgment as part of his career. 2008's Electric Arguments is a nice little rocker of an album and something most people think Paul can't do.

I don't know about that. This was a very good film, to be sure, but nothing about it screamed "Abraham Lincoln" to me. It's not Fonda's fault that his Lincoln is stuck in a standard courtroom drama and gives us little insight into his formative years. I think there is a great movie to be made about Lincoln's

John was wrong.

Ok, so it does it to an lesser extent.  And I recall now that they do bring out former contestants in at the finale  The fact remains that it's presented fat camp is fatty's last chance at life, and you didn't become less fat, so go home and we'll get you a personal trainer.

You missed the bothersome fact that they send people home.  When you take this show on it's own terms, one that truly believes that this is a life or death, sending someone in this state home is craven, unethical, and cruel. After building up the fact that this is these peoples last shot at a healthy life, their only

At this point the cast must be costing them a fortune, both upfront and on the back end.  Add to that building all new sets, and keeping some key creative people.  This is one expensive show.
Corners will be cut.

Rhythm had two strikes against it right away.  First, it was following up an album that would come to be ranked among the highest in the the pop pantheon.  Second, everyone was expecting a sequel.  When Paul went in a slightly different direction everyone, critics included, got confused said it wasn't as good as the

I wonder if that's because it was a much simpler setup.  I'd wager that acts on SNL have to use the SNL crew.  A group like Arcade fire has many pieces, instruments, etc.

Finally! proof of my theory that the name "Mandy Patinkin" is just plain funny.

He's off to the midwest to become the lead character in Denis Johnson's short story collection "Jesus' Son"

Jesse is likely insane at this point.
