In retrospect, what should've happened was that Family Guy should've just stayed cancelled and remained one of those cultishly adored shows, and MacFarlane's big second act should've been American Dad, with AD getting the level of popularity FG now enjoys. Instead, FG returned at the same time AD premiered, leaving…

There are still people, in the year 2012, who write Steely Dan off as "cheesy" or "yacht rock" or whatever. I mean, to say nothing of the stupidity of Top 40 music fans, it seriously boggles the mind to see the utter and total ignorance of even people who read respectable pop culture hubs like AV Club.

I know it's lame to suggest compilations, but I started with the 1995 comp "Singles" which as far as I know, is the only compilation that just arranges their 18 singles in chronological order. Soon after, I got Hatful of Hollow and they've basically been my favorite band ever since. Favorite actual album is probably…

"After six years, jokes about how Jack is a CEO, or how Liz is the head writer of TGS and thus has to deal with all the writers' eccentricities, I admit that I laughed once or twice, but did I care? Were there enough shots of Jack staring out the window of the world he's created for himself, pondering how the rest of…

Along with "A Blaffair to Rememblack" and the party flashbacks in "Greenzo," I feel comfortable calling that my favorite moment ever on 30 Rock.

COMMUNITY NOTIFICATION, ETC

The death of Johnny the Shoeshine Guy really dried up his youth cream supply.

I wanna be a lion
EH, everybody wants to post a first

Picture Me Hologrammin'

Absolutely. I bought VU & Nico without having ever heard any of it when I was 13, completely on the strength of those songs on DLO. After loving it (and, shortly thereafter, WL/WH) I went ahead and dove into the Peel Slowly and See box set and the rest is history.

Speaking of American Dad, they have GOT to do some kind of live-action/crossover type episode just for the sake of having her play Hayley.

This is my domicile and I will not be harrassed! B——!

One time my friend and I were discussing the "Fuck Wit Dre Day" vs. "Real Muthaphuckkin' G's" feud, and my friend really nailed it when he said that while obviously Dre was the greater musical force, Eazy somehow won the feud simply "because Eazy-E is just so much more…'projects' than Dr. Dre."

"You got King Kong balls"

I mean, I really just don't get it. In pretty much every other area (Flops, hip-hop stuff, Favorite Music Year 1994, etc) Nabin is my favorite AV Club writer. I even have his book! But for whatever reason he is just incapable of writing a decent 30 Rock review anymore.

I love how it used to be that when people complained about a smart comedy, commenters would say stuff like "Go watch Two and a Half Men," but now, it's the opposite and we're like "Nabin, go watch The Wire then."

So that's what Michel Piccoli looks like nowadays? Last time I saw him he was intoning "Oui" at the mention of Brigitte Bardot's body parts.

Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us, all we ask is that you let us serve it your way - there's too much paranoias.

A King taking orders?

Last year I saw Watt in Indy, and got my picture taken with him. When I showed him the picture he immediately went "Looks like father and son!" Best dude ever. Integrity and inspiration personified.
