I would almost certainly not have gotten this. I am not well-versed in Satan's music.

Money definitely talks, but it's insanely hard to overturn decades of entrenched conventional wisdom. I mean, look at Washington.

The vast majority of the TV audience has always been female, while movies have traditionally been driven by young men. Of course, studies in both senses are skewed (men watch a lot of TV, just not a lot of scripted TV; women go to movies just as often, if not more often, than men, but the movies they go to don't tend…

Homeland struggles with this, too.

I think someone needs to bone up on his Falcon Crest! *Jane Wyman repeals the estate tax*

Certain genres align themselves nicely with certain viewpoints. Action film and conservatism go hand-in-hand nicely, as do courtroom dramas and liberalism. I don't think 24 is an especially conservative show (outside of being a byproduct of the times in which it was made), but it does have all of the inherent…

The commentary tracks are there, and there's a bonus disc with features on it.

In the grand tradition of TV Club Classics since the feature was launched!

And even Law & Order creator/EP Dick Wolf (who actually got his big break on, you guessed it, Hill Street Blues) said that the season they won their Emmy for Best Drama Series was the season when they introduced more stories about the characters' personal lives. Hill Street really did rewrite the rules on how you were…

My favorite thing is how it was the lowest-rated show ever renewed… until a couple of years later when that title was handed to another NBC show, Cheers.

I often recommend watching the pilot and "Trial By Fury." The pilot is brilliant but also has its dated moments (like the scene between the cops and the stepfather). "Trial By Fury" is pretty brilliant throughout.

I really want to do the first two seasons of this for my summer TV Club Classic. So if you know several thousand other people who feel similarly…

The problem with "Hello Kitty" is that even the racism feels half-hearted. It feels too much like Avril wanted to make an offensive, irritating music video, then couldn't really COMMIT.

You're about to learn they're both the illegitimate children of ONE famous Hollywood actor! But WHO? Find out on GIRLS!

Well, I grew up in the Midwest, and it happened where I was, so.
