Rendering my comment meaningless, which is of course how I prefer all my comments.

Right. Integrated.

Where is the thread?? WHERE. IS. THE. THREAD. I need to talk!

I'm inclined to kinda agree. I don't particularly find all the piling on funny at this point, though an occasional insult will still land well.

I want what was in it.

I'm going with the Beef; at least he's found an original way to mel—oh, wait.

It sure felt that way to me, paranoid as I may admittedly be.

Uch, Buck and Aikman are the worst. Especially Buck, that smug, self-satisfied broom handle. Besides, I'm an SF fan, and he always seems to be rooting against my teams. And we have to endure him in TWO sports. It's not fair.

Kinda thrilling, really.

When The Empire Strikes Back came out, I went to see it with a bunch of friends. During the climactic battle between Luke and Vader, just as Vader is drawing a breath to say the words, a friend sitting next to me (who had already seen it) blurted out "I am your father." And it took all the rhythm and drama out of

The Flat.

Funny, well-written, well-acted; dark without being depressing, just real enough to avoid cartoonish, absurd without descending into slapstick…it's EXACTLY why I watch TV!

Preach it!  You are absolutely dead on.  Most of the people on this show, and many like them, will gain the weight back, because constant exercise and food restriction only works for so long.  Unless the underpinnings of addiction, compulsion, shame, self-hatred, and denial are addressed, the cycle with continue.

I don't know, read in Aukerman's voice, it kinda works.

Yeah, there is no doubt that Anne Heche is almost universally reviled as the ultimate opportunist among lesbians who watched that train wreck.  Hideous.

I remember this night vividly.  My then-girlfriend and I sat on the couch, more huddled together than embracing, alternately cringing and laughing.  I remember how deeply uncomfortable we were with the whole thing: we loved Ellen, as a funny stand-up and one of "the family," thought the show up to then was mildly

They aired my personal "best of:" the one where the little girl asks if they killed MLK like they did Jesus.  First time I heard that it literally took my breath away.  A simple and devastating moment.

There's a short in the trunk.

So true, those creatures are emblazoned on my childhood memories in a way that makes them seem so real.  It is so much easier for the mind to assign credibility to an effect when it already has dimension and substance—something CGI will never accomplish, no matter its future accomplishments.  RIP.
