Really, no one else is gonna bring up Kevin Dorff's greatest acting role? I was just about to comment that Leslie could've gotten his vote by showing him the Wiggler.

This picture gives the strong impression that Landgraf is a dwarf.

I can't believe that episode isn't widely regarded as a classic. Cases in point:

PBE&D isn't necessarily my personal favorite, but I'd say it's probably the best overall, on the strength of "Fuzz: The Musical" alone (to say nothing of Bob Lamonta or the Wedding Announcement). My personal favorite (and it's one that no one else seems to like that much) is "It's Perfectly Understandishable," because…

Yeah, I kind of can't believe no one else brought that one up. I thought it was pretty well regarded as being maybe the greatest television episode ever. It certainly earned its TV Club A+ rating.

The West Wing, "Two Cathedrals"
Breaking Bad, "Half Measures"
Mr. Show, "Peanut Butter, Eggs, and Dice"
Delocated, "Jon He Does It"/"David's Girlfriend" (tie)
Sports Night, "The Six Southern Gentlemen of Tennessee"
The Office (US), "The Job"
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, "The Gang Gives Frank an Intervention"
The Ren…

The Help 2: Still Helpin'

Anyone else get vague echoes of "The Gang Goes to the Jersey Shore"?

I love the Mechanic not only for its dirt bike chase in which both guys are riding on wheelies for no reason, but also for its first several dialogue-free minutes, which look like the director was fresh out of film school and practicing Antonioni-style shots. It's so weird and jarring, especially in context of the…

Fun fact: He also did the music for Death Wish II. You know how I know this? Because they're literally the EXACT SAME SCORE. Not like "Yeah, they sound alike." I mean the producers of Death Wish 3 actually could not be bothered to hire anyone, let alone Jimmy Page, to compose new music, so they absolutely just reused…

What about shows that are nice places to visit, but better places to rob?

I remember that bit, although I think it was more like '98, back when Fallon was still brand new on the show, which was the whole idea. Best thing about that was a) how "R.E.M." was actually just a picture of an old guy with a shaved head, and b) how the future SNL cast included John Goodman.

The only thing that would've made this story better would've been a big empty wooden box next to the cannon that reads "ACME."

No, Lulu's closest sitcom analogue is probably Til Death.

I should probably rephrase that. It's not that they're always out to provoke "outrage" necessarily, but I think it's fair to say that the actual music on any given album doesn't always have a lot to do with the grade. The grades and the reviews themselves are way more about cultivating a tastemaker status and throwing…

I WAS COOL WITH THE BLACK KEYS BECOMING FAMOUS BEFORE THEY BECAME FAMOUS

I always read Pitchfork reviews (of albums I care about, at least) but I almost inevitably disagree with them, since it's always clear that they're not really reviewing the album at hand, just taking whatever stance will guarantee the most internet outrage and subsequent page views.

I'm kinda surprised they haven't been, actually.
