Also, if masturbating in Chemistry class is unforgivable, there's no salvation for any of us.

Way to set the bar high.

I always considered the Bugs Bunny Show theme an inferior knock-off of the Muppet Show theme.

I like the lawyer in the cape.

I remember that I was already dimly aware that John Cheever was a writer who existed. After the episode, my pool of knowledge expanded to include, "So I guess he was gay."

If the perfunctory letter grades were in any way relevant, then no, there would be no point. But clearly this is a show we still consider worth discussing.
TV Club Classic reviews aren't like new-release movie reviews. No one is reading this to find out if this "Seinfeld" show was worth watching. The straight-A status…

Either you laugh at it, or you don't. You're not going to persuade anyone that they didn't laugh at something.

The Darkwing Duck baddies had the same arc.

I guess I'd just never thought of Bill's wrongheaded assessment of superhero alter-egos as characterization, since it's hard to read ANY Tarantino dialogue as not being QT's actual views.

otto mann, you just completely redeemed a scene in an otherwise-kickass movie that always pissed me off.

^ "That was my penis talking."
"We get it."

You're living in a fool's paradise, Van Hooten! If you fell down in the shower, that thing'd be your tomb!

Come on, you and the kids always want to do fun stuff. But today we're doing something I like!
