Your memory either ain't so vivid, or that Daryl kid was wrong:

It was tame, and we are that old. Those of us like Liz & me who were old enough to remember watching the first seasons against some milder overall backlash…

I also bought that bottle opener - found it at a gas station, no less. My parents were pretty anti-merchandise (read: cheap), so I never had much growing up. But my grandmother bought my older brother that ubiquitous "Don't Have A Cow" Bart t-shirts. I didn't get one.

Har har on that publicist's first line on Susur's bio:

In the few Biggest Loser eps I've watched, her shtick is pretty horrible. Belittling, and way too much unnecessary yelling.

The real question is…
…will Bay figure out how to make the Ninja Turtles racist?

I've never heard the song, but damned if I could sing it right now. What's the melody? The same as every Nickelback song you say?

So when I listen to the radio on my way to/from work, and hear a meh song, I am often too lazy to find something better, so just turn it down and wait it out. So with that song, I can hum it after the "Hey, you crazy bitch…" intro, but do not know, and have never listened to, the lyrics after that. I just thought it…

I just spent a good chunk of my work morning reading the whole live blog. Great stuff!!

Ditto on the Moonen hate. We get it, you can do an evil laugh. Though maybe blame the editors for the repetition…

P.S. Without even seeing the clip (damned work youtube blocking), that's from Kentucky Fried Movie. First movie from Zucker/Abrams/Zucker folks, pre-Airplane, pre-Top Secret.

That first call must have gotten him so excited. "What? This newsy-sounding website wants to talk to me about the Mayans? Awesome! I can talk all about their scientific achievements and…. Oh…."

Instead of a name change…
…what if they made it clear it wasn't about the stupid Demi Moore-like "cougars", but about the real animals? Like, they all go to the world-famous Cougar zoo nearby, and say loudly and often about how everyone refers to their town as Cougar Town because of all of these cougars? Eh?

I actually like the cartoonish Christine. It's not a bad show - not quite good enough for my DVR rotation, but good enough that I'll watch when on.

Yup. That Marissa Miller story line was filled with more holes than a block of Emmentaler, am I right? Or Jeanne Baxtresser's concert flute. Or my monocle chain…

That was great. It actually had me thinking how much fun it would be to host a random 4 hour block of a telethon, where my only direction would be to fill the time with anything, while waiting for Detlef Shrempf to show up.

Upon reading this goodbye, after shock and sad came anger. I shook my fist in the air and said "What bullshit new job would she possibly leave all of THIS for?" And then I read the Office and felt like an asshole. Yeah, that's a pretty cool job….

Just to add my thanks, sadness at missing this, possibly my favorite avclub feature. Also I found I agreed with Amelie's hate about most things. Except Dr. Drew, for some reason, who I kinda like.

Good catch on the Twilight Zone. Never saw the orignal, but saw the Simpson's version…

um, boobs?
Gee zips, that bride was hanging out of that dress. I didn't hear anything she said. Blah blah boobs blah boobs….
