No more Pulaski hating
"Peak Performance" was the first episode I saw that had Dr. Pulaski in it. Consequently I could never understand why people hated her so much. Having seen her earlier episodes, I get it now. It's good that she sort of lost that stick that used to be up her ass.

JJ, that sounds like the most fun ever. I envy your childhood. Although my sister and I did have some good times fencing with croquet mallets in the garage while shouting out insults and comebacks from The Secret of Monkey Island, which was a pretty good time too.

What I want to know is, how did references to both Natalie Imbruglia and The Meaning of Life end up in the same essay? Was it perhaps a dare? Names drawn out of a hat?

I don't know who I was hoping for, but I got Dickens. Must stop using the word "haberdashery."

Anyone else miss Bonkers?

Too far outside the box?
These might be prohibited by the rules, inasmuch as they were not episodes of television shows per se (although they were short-format entertainment that aired on television), but have you considered some of the Disney shorts like "Donald in Mathmagic Land" or "Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom"?

"The Simpsons Already Did It"

Not logically, but grammatically, incorrect
"What if God Was One of Us?" It should be "What if God WERE One of Us." Don't cockblock the subjunctive.

Hit single
"Bloodthirsty Ululations" is going to be the first hit single for my all-female electronic percussion speed metal band Edith Keeler Must Die. IN MY MIND!

Hey, that guy!
Anybody else miss Science Court?

Mel Gibson's karma is so bad he'll probably come back as a bag of groceries accidentally taken off the shelf before the date stamped on his sack.

Ouch, dude. Ouch.

Faith says, "Little sister's coming."

Oh, I don't know. There are plenty of reasons to hate S5 other than the angst. Glory and Dawn and Ben and Riley and Glory and Riley and Dawn.

"I'm trying to think of a character in another show that shouldn't really be in the show but people want him/her around anyway. There's got be other examples of this. "

Three cheers for the dance of joy! Cease doing the dance of joy.

RIGHT?!?

Well, Kif and Amy have been having problems ever since Amy slept with Zapp Brannigan, and the kids are technically Kif and Leela's and are off developing in a swamp for twenty years, so they don't really factor in, and…oh my god where did my life go?

I know what you mean, Humanist, but about nineteen seconds in I decided the scene at the robosexual rehab camp was an homage to But I'm a Cheerleader and then it didn't bother me anymore.
