I think the name caused a lot of confusion. I saw a long commercial for it before a movie. By the end, I was thinking impatiently, "Ok, you've said when it will be on. Now tell me the NAME of the show!"

I remember watching Picket Fences with my mom when I was in elementary school, so I watched seasons 1 and 2 recently. (Hulu Plus had seasons 3 and 4 for a grand total of a week and a half.) When I told people I was watching it, their reaction was to make a face and say, "Oh G-d, why?" When I responded that it won

Out of curiosity, how did you watch seasons 3 and 4?

That was the episode "Witness for the Prosecution," in which the Pope is the only witness to a murder that happens during a parade.

Your web design is bad and you should feel bad! [/zoidberg]

My AP European History class might as well have been "Film Study 101." We watched the following movies in their entirety:

The local libraries I've belonged to usually offer most of their selection for free, but charge $2 for "express rentals" of newer movies that you have to return after two days. The alternative is to place a hold on the non-express copy, which is free, but you will probably be 87th on the hold list for a popular movie.

I certainly would rather have the Dr. Seuss bicycle.

My local Blockbuster had an extremely spotty selection. They had Back to the Future 2 and 3, but not 1. They had Return of Spinal tap, but not This is Spinal Tap. I would see a movie one week, and the next week it would be gone forever. When they started getting DVDs, I rented the only copy of an independent film.

Picket Fences, "Thanksgiving"
Jill isn't happy when her father brings his 26-year-old fiancee for Thanksgiving dinner, and Wambaugh wants his wife arrested for adultery.

Due to "technical issues," they have replaced "Bar the Lover" with "The Ned-liest Catch."

I was just watching the episode of Daria where she is teaching Quinn's English class and she gives a test on Romeo and Juliet.  When Sandi asks why she got a D-, Daria answers, "Nobody ever called Romeo 'Leonardo' and he never jumped in a swimming pool with his clothes on.  But I gave you extra credit because you knew

Damn, there were easily about 4 or 5 people in the "In Memorium" montage who could have merited their own individual segment.

In grad school, I was taking a class on the Holocaust in film and theatre.  We were watching The Pawnbroker (1964), about a survivor who owns a pawn shop.  In one scene, the pawnbroker's assistant was gearing up for sexy times with his lady friend.  After making sure everything was perfect, he turns on the record

No, they had San Francisco and other cities.  It was just Oakland that was a hunting reserve.  The revolutionary group called themselves the "Oakland Raiders."

So it's basically the 4th episode of Sliders, but stretched over an entire series?

I'd go with the scene of Steve Martin with the car rental lady in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

I am living in Iowa right now.  I have absolutely no suggestions for that.  The most rocking music we have around here is Mennonite choral music.

I was there too.  I made my husband drive us 3 hours out of state on a work night for it.

I have not heard of Le Mans out of Jo wanting to hitchhike there in "The Facts of Life Goes to Paris."
