Bill, please come back. Forgive us for the Calvin Peeing thing.

I always liked the rare episodes where Barney became truly badass and heroic.

What is a "libtard?"

Electric Light Orchestra.

My kids and I love these. All hail. All hail!

I love you, Robert Zombie.

My daughter really started reading voraciously when we let her in on Calvin and Hobbes. Later, she sewed me a Hobbes doll out of a sock. It is primitive and awesome.

I liked these as a kid. I also liked Benny Hill, largely for the same reasons. I knew both for what they were, and was okay with it, but I was also the target demographic.

I always liked that it was up to Taran.  I thought that Team Dallben really wanted the best guy for the job, so they just raised the best guy on their own.  Social engineering, but they never forced him.

The Last Unicorn is a perfect book.  Ms. Robinson may be interested to know that Peter Beagle wrote a sequel called Two Hearts.  You can read it for free on Beagle's web site.  It's very good.

Old Dark House!  Seconded!

I've cracked the code: I'll lose my dismal Nerd status by watching "Rudy."  Doing so apparently makes you an athlete.  Soon I'll have sexual attractiveness and a soul.

I liked it.  The audiobook is read by Wil Wheaton.  Perfect.

Poodog, me too

Excellent books.  The main character is constantly complaining of boredom, and you see him at his worst all the time.  It made the conclusion of the second book especially satisfying.

It's a good article. However, radio really did do it decades before television. Desilu pioneered much of early television's tropes and standards, but Lucy herself was a radio vet before her tv show.

Wheeler and Woolsey, loved their antiwar movie "Diplomaniacs." Huge stars, forgotten now. Like the Spice Girls.
