Goddamit I was hoping they were going to retcon April off the show. Was she in the Sherman-Palladino seasons?

I'd put money on Michael Steele, only because Todd's such a safe bet there won't be much return.

Considering CK's recent work 'Allegedly Comedians' by itself would be a potential category

Hey, this humanizes the guy. I can't imagine anyone who fails at some creative endeavor going on to be a disastrously bad leader who plunges most of the world into war.

Numb, 'Bliss (Endurance)'
Beautiful Pea Green Boat, 'Hammers of Islam'
Decree, 'Fire On Judgement'
Surprise, 'In Movimento'
Clan of Xymox, 'Number 1: Cut Rate Box Remix'
Springhouse, 'No More Yesterdays'
Psychic Force, 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'
Singers & Players, 'Kunta Kinte Dub'
Breaking Circus, 'Morning'
The Spoons,…

Absolutely. Brilliant song; brilliant band.

My two favorite Rush songs are the ones included here. They adapted to new wave better than any other prog band.

The omission of Ultravox's 'Dancing With Tears In My Eyes' is glaring, particularly considering its video.

I imagine we're going to get a Jordan Rules-type book about Lebron soon. He ended up pretty much getting a pass on The Decision, but with his recent stuff (and Steph Curry dethroning him) I don't think he'll be protected anymore.

Damn I need to find that Helen hunt punk rock episode. I had idea she was on it; I've learned something today!

I'd like one of our TV reviewer commenters to weigh in on It Takes Two, the sitcom with Duke and Richard Crenna from about 1982 that I remember sort of liking. Is it any good?

Holy crap that's real and it sounds awesome, in that Left Behind/Omega Code vein.

Honestly the role I think Denzel will be perfect for is King Lear. He would nail the weariness and anger, and I think he would do something new with the crazy parts.

Damn, Keith David is absolutely perfect for Othello. I'm jealous of you for seeing this.

Gazizza dilznoofuses, Billy Dee Williams saying get with the crizappy taste of Colt 45 Malt Liquor. Colt 45’s got the upstate prison flavor that keeps you ugly all night long! So when you wanna get sick, remember–nothin’ makes yo’ feet stank like Colt 45 Malt Liquor! DAMN! It’s crizappy!

Yeah, I'm still watching because everything but Richie and his wife is excellent. A good show can be salvaged from this. I doubt it will though, and it's really sad to see HBO finally and completely succumb to formula.

– With sober Richie the show seemed right on track. But by the end, it once again affirmed that it was a bad idea to center the show on him. He's not only unlikeable, he's not interesting, and as good as Cannaviale is he has nothing to work with.

If there's not a TV Tropes entry for 'but he's good at his job' there should be. (I know I can easily look this up but I don't want to because I'm at work and don't want to be sucked into the TV Tropes vortex.)

I love this assessment. However I don't quite think that in this case the 'X proves this with Y' construct is creating an unsupported argument. I think it's supposed to cap off the statement in the first paragraph that their recordings don't capture 'the aura of the band’s stage presence', which I take it is much more…

The hell he was!
