I just love the dramatic fade-in of the DAVID WAIN title card after they've already flashed The State title card and everything. Perfection.

And if you can make a Stooges album not only without Iggy Pop, but also Ron Asheton, Scott Asheton, or Dave Alexander as well, then that's really something.

Let's hold off the talks with the Kremlin until we settle the new Three Stooges stamp controversy. Personally, my vote goes with Shemp, although Curly is certainly nothing to take lightly.

That section of the book is definitely a slog, comparatively, but it kind of becomes fascinating in its own way once you start reading between the lines. You know that episode of Sports Night where Natalie doesn't want to turn over that riot footage to the cops, but it's really a metaphor for how she doesn't want to…

Liked for "full Richard Simmons attire."

Nothing has ever been funnier than Letterman introducing Simmons' first appearance on the show in years, back in 2006. The event was billed for weeks as "Daddy's Comin' Home" and Simmons entered by blowing the doors at the back of the theater open bathed in light.

What's weird is that it's all very recent too. I saw SP in 2008 and was shocked at how thin he still was. Honestly, he looks healthier now, or at least like a normal guy in his mid-40s.

Maybe it's just because I'm old (28) and barely ever go out on Friday nights anymore, but I really liked having Portlandia to look forward to on Fridays. But either way, I'm obviously still going to watch the hell out of this season. Jesus, just reading the description of that Nina-Lance storyline had me fucking dying.

No, NBC is the right choice there.

The real question is, who watches SVU first-run? I constantly forget that it's even actually on NBC. In my mind, it just plays continuously on USA, and newer episodes seem to occasionally squeak their way in there without ever actually airing anywhere else first.

Liked for "Human Emotions."

AVQ&A: Which Celebrity's Corpse on SVU Will Make You Cry?

And. Then. They. Will. Cry.

Everyone talks about the cheesiness of the production on Cohen's original, which makes me sad, not because they're wrong, but because it means they're clearly not seeking out Cohen's live versions from his recent tours.

I wish the West Wing had soundtracked Mark Harmon's death with "Don't Go Home With Your Hard On."

I definitely died a little inside when he said that, but FWIW I think at this point "emo" has ceased to have anything to do with the actual musical genre and has just become a generic descriptor. It still doesn't make it any more accurate, but at least that reading doesn't indicate that he thinks the Smiths sound like…

I'd go a step further and say Jon Stewart's MTV show, but that's just me.

Substitute "Party Down" for "Burn After Reading" in that sentence and you'd have the greatest idea for a show ever.

That is clearly the best part of this whole thing.
