Pigskin Footbrawl was the best game ever.  When I would get too far behind my nephew, the game would shout "troll, troll, troll…" and send out a troll to help my side.  (This was in the days before the internet got popular.  Sega Genesis, circa 1990.)

They seem to have lost nuance.  It's all black and white now and the show has become a thriller.  What happened to moral ambiguity, the comedy, Mr White using "science", somewhat surreal happenings that still seemed plausible?

I used to watch the earlier shows more than once, but not the last
episodes.  Still great, but it feels a little off from earlier seasons and has shifted in
tone.

She seems happy in her skin, at least now.  Saw her on Colbert and heard her on Fresh Air.  Hearing her on Fresh Air, made me want to watch the American Masters video.

The dance Al got with Beth was equally satisfying.

I love Peep Show.  I hope there is more…  In the meantime, I discovered there are 10'oclock live shows online.

The time loop kept making me thinking of "12:01"  Though very different story, also has a time loop integral to the story.

The finale made me smile and laugh…  reading the review here and readers comments made me cry.  Thank you Matt Groening et al.  And thanks for making another Life in Hell calendar for 2014.

David wakes up with a start, Keith in bed next to him reading.  David says to Keith: I just had the weirdest dream…  I was living in Miami, working in forensics, and liked women— (Keith smiles and laughs, starts kissing David…)

Remar should get a series— Ghost Dad.

and that voice!

“You’re right in that sweet spot between suicidal and actually dead which—most comedians, they thrive there.”

Season one was great.  Two a bit uneven.  Three is looking like it's becoming a soap opera.

And yet, Dexter's ratings are higher than ever.  I have given up on Dexter a few times this season, but keep watching just to see how it ends.  And now it is so ridiculous, it's kind of fun to watch to see just how outlandish things can get and hear people discuss how lazy and inept the writing and acting has gotten. 

That was weird that jr is eating popcorn and he and his dad are bonding over it.  Maybe not so weird but at the time I thought so.  And they expect Skyler to come sit with them and watch, after she was resting from some kind of "breakdown".  Wasn't that after the notorious "Shutup, shutup… SHUTUP" sequence at the

No, I grew up in a city (Erie, PA) ran by Italians.  When I hear "Tony" I think Tony Danza…  I understand there's Antonio Banderas, etc.  But even in the original Tony is Italian.  It just felt weird to me.  And his accent sounded like an actor faking an accent.

I found the trivia to the movie more interesting than the movie itself…  Did they know they were making something over the top, or did it just end up that way?  It being de Palma not sure.  I don't think he intended it to be comical.

It was memorable in that it was endless and some scenes, like the end stick out.  And him freaking because there were kids in the car they were supposed to bomb.  And the dancing scene was memorable in that it was so bad.
