Hey!  There's the series framing device.  The pilot opens with him beginning to tell his life story to that hapless census taker, while he prepares the fava beans…

This show will be worth it, if for nothing else, so we can learn just WHAT went on between Lector and that census taker…

Toby Jones's IBS just flared up…

Based on Abbott and Constello's respective facial reactions we now know who is big spoon and little spoon.

My guess is a bat mitzvah

When I read the news on online, for some reason my eyes were drawn first to "Dick" and then "Massive heart attack" and I thought for a sec DIck Cheney had bit the big one.  Then I saw the picture, and realized who it really was.  So this is a doubly disappointing day.

It had a good beat right up to the moment the ruptured plaque occluded his proximal left anterior descending coronary artery and precipitated a massive infarction. 

Dick Clark has become more powerful than you can possibly imagine…

Brett Ratner ladies and gentlemen!

Morgan Spurlock…whatever your opinion about his talents or lack thereof, there can be no denying the man was endowed with the greatest shit-eating grin since Teddy Roosevelt.

I'm not of the Jewish faith, and I'd love for someone who is who might be able to explain just what exactly Ginsberg's father says in the prayer he gives while holding his son.

Ever notice how, when people dxd with cancer say they're staying "upbeat" about their outlook, they're dead within a year?

A commentator on another website is wondering about the whole Toby/Tony slip up Toby makes, and wondering if that's a set up for his exit…like a mental break or something.  Some are speculating what if he turns out to be the Scranton strangler…it would be an interesting follow through after Toby tries to suggest the…
