I think you mean "Male Whitney."

Right. They spent the entire day outside in Pennsylvania, presumably in mid-to-late November, and it wasn't cold enough for anyone to wear a coat?

Right. Robert made them all come up with an idea; Stanley came up with something ridiculous just to get him off his back. It completely fits with the character's personality.

That okay face looks like a disembodied Harold Bloom, silently disapproving of your comic books and woman novels.

Sometimes before; sometimes—I believe—after.

I agree that the colon sketch wasn't funny, but I don't see how it "doesn't count" as a starring role. There were two main parts in that sketch, and Day had one of them.

Best comment on Pitchfork's Facebook feed, apparently from a shocked and horrified indie girl: "Oh. My. Freaking. God."

Is her family rich? I didn't know that.

The Erin storyline was strong enough that I almost gave this a B+, but then I thought about how halfhearted the conclusion to it was, and how weak the "Pam believes in g-g-g-g-ghosts" storyline was, and I dropped it.

The worst part is that de Vere's rich and stupid descendents pay scholars to "research" this issue. Junk science isn't just for scientists anymore, kids!

No doubt most of it sucks, but on the very outskirts of the Christian music industry, there's some artists who try to speak about life and faith intelligent. Of course, the punishment for that attempt is that they get ignored by both Christians and non-Christians.

I loved "Toonstruck" as a teenager. I still say, "Flux, why don't you go up in that tree and ask the squirrel if you can grab his nuts?" when it's appropriate to do so. Which I guess is not that often.

My favorite Christmas special of ALL TIME. "Meteorologists say that barometers are falling sharply. . . . AHHHH!"

He works well in "Magnolia" because the part is written so that you can't possibly overact it, don't you think?

Is that what he's saying? I always heard "IZZATMUDAHDRINDARE!!!!! SEAN!!!! IZZATMUDAHDRINDARE!!!!"

All that's left is to beat you out of the Best Friends Club.

So Frasier Crane actually changes quite a bit over the course of "Cheers"—he starts off as this sort of neutered milquetoast character, and then Diane and Lilith conspire to turn him into a bitter, depressed SOB. By the end of the series, he's as mean as anyone else in the bar.

The violence montage made me laugh; the rest left me cold. And Ted WOULD use "Annie Hall" as a litmus test for which women "deserve" his ambiguous charms.

A related question: How often do you think "Bocephus" even goes to church? What's the ratio of Sunday mornings he spends in the pew to Sunday morning he spends drunkenly passed out in a half-inflated kiddie pool?

So I had it wrong. Audrey Williams isn't the Mrs. Williams that married Johnny Horton. Please forgive my faux pas.
