Well you'll be hearing from my lawyers shortly Donna.

Inside jokes
There are a couple of moments in these episodes where I wonder if the writers are putting in a subtle tip-o-the-hat to their stars:

Not creepy at all.

Zavalishcheva's favorite part of the Model Lounge
From the article:

IMDB lists it as Norm MacDonald in an uncredited role. It does sound an awful lot like Norm.

Mooninwha, I'm hurt. I read AND I care!

"Space" is one of the few pre-season 5 episodes that I just can't re-watch. There are a few chuckles here and there but the whole thing just seems self-indulgent, corny and unfunny.
I initially felt that way about the Titanic episode as well but I've actually grown to like that one.

First two episodes I believe. I think the last time we see the "pre-break" break room is when the gang is all standing around listening to Matthew's report from the subway tunnel ("Again Lisa…not much to see….").

Ending of "Complaint Box"
There are so many wonderful comedic moments in "Complaint Box" but one of my favorites is the very end of the episode where we see the scene in the law office unfold bit by bit - first Dave, then his lawyer, then Lisa, then *her* lawyer and finally Jimmy-in-the-box paired with _his_ lawyer on

"terrific chemistry with Dave Foley (which CAN'T be easy to accomplish)"

I saw one episode of "King of Queens" (or at least part of it). Dave Foley was guest starring that week so every time he was on screen I'd switch over the audio to that TV (this was at my gym with the "wall-o-TVs"). Every time the screen was Dave-less I'd switch the audio back to whatever I was watching before. I may

I enjoyed Stiller's performance in "Trainer". He nails the whole sleazy gym salesman routine. Sad thing is it's not so much a parody. Gym recruiters really are that bad.

Actually I think it was $6.25. The second Washington was a quarter.

Props to the NR special effects department for that ending. That scene really was seamless. It also establishes just how rich and powerful Mr. James is in the NR universe. Front row seating at a presidential speech? That's power.

Two snacks Trader Joes used to have…
that I absolutely loved were the Sesame Peanut Crunch mini-bars and frozen green garbanzo beans. The latter wasn't really a junk food snack true, but I used to eat 'em straight from the package (no cooking, thawing or anything) and they were actually quite delicious that way.

I think I gave up at around the 7th book - Crown of Swords. Not only was the plot not going anywhere but almost every single character had managed to get on my nerves. I always meant to go back and read the entire series from start to finish but I eventually decided it just wasn't worth the time.

"How can you judge a character by one episode, he spoke what, all of three times?"

Beth: I don't understand. All I did was sell someone something I didn't even own in the first place that wasn't worth anything.

I was fully prepared to be anti-Planbee before I actually saw the episodes. After seeing them all though I have to say Graham was really funny on the show and I thought her character fit into the NR world really well. I don't know what kind of behind-the-scenes dramatics and power struggles were going on but I have to

I think the difference is that, despite being naive in some respects, Beth is much more "street-smart" and socially adept than Matthew. You always get the sense that Beth is making her way the best she can in the Real World whereas Matthew is just off in his own reality. A reality with candy elves no less.
