One marvelous thing about this episode is the way it deals with the simple theme of the importance of being yourself. I know that's a rather trite cliche, but "Freaks and Geeks" does a stupendous job with it here, whether it be through Sam realizing he and Cindy just aren't compatible, to Ken accepting Amy for who she…

The great thing about this show is that you get the feeling that not everybody will end up living a fulfilling, happy life after they leave High School, and of every character on this show Nick seems like the one most likely to look back on High School as the high point in his otherwise sad, disappointing life.

Or stealing his other son's kidney.

I don't usually cry at movies, but "In America" is one of the few films that can, without fail, reduce me to a blubbering mess every time I watch it.

All right, but they gotta be purple.

I also took Jesse regarding a small creature with his companion looking at it with disgust to be a clever callback to the opening of "Peekaboo".

All right, Jesse, chill!

Or, more aptly, Mark Wahlberg's penis.

He's goin' face down in a plate of veggie bacon before this is all over.

Unlikely? Sure. "overblown piece of crap"? That's up for debate. I personally thought it was gutsy and indicative of the second season, which for me set "Breaking Bad" apart from almost every other show currently on television as a show willing to take big risks, both in narrative and style.

Seeing Holly in her pink bear outfit (again), I'm gonna call it: that poor kid's gonna end up in the Whites' swimming pool, just like that fateful bear.

The year after, as a matter of fact.

I gotta disagree with D'Angelo here. Yeah, the film isn't by any stretch of the imagination one of the best Foreign Language Films of the 1980s, let alone the best of 1987 ("Au Revoir, Les Enfants" should've won that year, no contest), but "Babette's Feast" is charming, simple, yet with a healthy dose of bittersweet…

I'd highlight the moment in the Adventure Time episode "Simon and Marcy" when the theme song to Cheers becomes the tragic ballad of a man slowly losing his sanity as he saves a young girl from mutants using the power of ice. Reading that description, the scene doesn't sound like it should work, but boy does it pack an…

Way back in the day my brother and I would watch "Rocky & Bullwinkle" re-runs on Cartoon Network at 10:00 on a Saturday night. While the storylines were corny and silly, my brother and I still debated about what the next segment should be called at the end of each cliffhanger. As soon as each episode would end, I…

I'm squarely in the camp that thinks the animated segments are actually tolerable, if not often creative and fun (William Shatner and Ron Howard as rival politicians running for Mayor of the body has some pretty darn funny jokes), while the live-action stuff is bland at best and needlessly gross at worst. As long as…

Not only is "Casino Night" a hilarious episode, and not only is that scene in the Parking Lot with Jim and Pam arguably the most painfully poignant moment of the series (and that's saying something), but it also had a fantastic cliffhanger. I'll never forget "Casino Night" and the second season finale of "Lost" airing…

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pull out just in time

I don't judge the album too harshly, partially because it inspired my dad to prank his co-workers with the Mr. Burns song "Look at all those idiots"

Looks like Wikipedia caught on and deleted it.
