That's what's so hilarious about it… There are no sponsors to boycott, Curb being on HBO and all. It's just further proof that these people have never even seen this show they're threatening to stop watching.

Pretty good
Maybe it seems obvious but I was wondering how they were gonna keep Trinity in the rest of the season now that Dexter has found him and has more than enough motivation to do away with him with 6 or 7 more episodes left in the season. I thought the whole thing about having Dexter wanting to learn from him

Whar's the Hater on this?
Has anyone caught any of the flap over last week's episode with Larry getting "splashback" on the Jesus painting? Apparently all sorts of Christian groups are up in arms about it, and since obviously none of them have ever watched the show before, much less the episode in question, many seem

Meh
What is there on Hulu? It has a bunch of Lost episodes, which is nice, but their movie selection makes even the shittiest public library look like Netflix. They DO have the entire first season of Magnum P.I. though! I watched an episode and realized that the only good thing about that show is the theme song.

Yeah, this is the reason why you'll hear economists say stuff like "FDR's New Deal Policies extended the Great Depression!"

Seriously, what's up with Armisen's Obama?
It's so bad it almost seems like he must be sucking on purpose, but it doesn't work in that winking, knowingly-shitty way Norm MacDonald's Bob Dole did. It just seems like the writers have a lot of Obama material (not great Obama material, but still) and they're intent on

Yes, Thin Lizzy is better than KISS. Also, Boston. Also, Grand Funk Railroad. And Styx. Pretty much the only 70's rock band that is not better than KISS is Journey.

I think it's pretty much impossible to cover KISS and NOT do a better performance. As sloppy as they were, the Replacements managed to do a way better version of "Black Diamond", if only because they eschewed the hilariously awful outro bullshit.

Yes, that and the They Might Be Giants song "P.S.O.K.", which samples it. Even if you're not into They Might Be Giants, you will fucking love it. I think you can even download it for free on their website. Listen to it. LISTEN TO IT!!!

What you need is a gateway to 70's cock rock!
The only major hurdle you'll face in getting into KISS is the fact that, in terms of songcraft ans musicianship, they were undeniably the shittiest hard rock band of the 70's.

Exciting, sorta
Hate is probably my favorite comic series and should be required reading for anyone who's ever lived in New Jersey, but I'm not sure it would come across that well as a cartoon, particularly on network TV… Didn't Bagge have deal with HBO back in the 90's? Didn't they produce a pilot? Didn't said pilot

The thing is, Dexter living with Rita is as frustrating for the audience as it is for Dexter… It does put him in some interesting situations, like the cliffhanger at the end of the first episode, but ultimately I think we can all agree that Dexter the freewheelin' serial killer is a lot more interesting to watch than

Yeah, I'm not sure I really give a shit about this tourist-killer guy they keep referring to. Is there something interesting about this season's B-serial killer and I missed it?

Please kill
Rita.

Chris Gaines Behind the Music
Christ, I remember that crap. It's amazing to think of it now, but there was a time when I used to get kind of excited about Behind the Music episodes, and then they went and did that bullshit. I seem to recall a sharp dropoff in quality around that time, and then the show disappeared

Maybe next time you should die before you grow up
"'I always thought I would die before I grew up,' the comedian writes in an uncharacteristically somber letter to fans on his Web site…. "

Whatever
It's not like he's some politician who's presented himself as a paragon of virtue for the "values voters" or some shit… Letterman's private life has always been a complete mystery, or at least it was during the period when his show was interesting.

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of… I heard Gervais talking about this a year or two ago in some interview and I thought it was an awesome concept, but at the same time I can understand how it might be one of those awesome concepts that's tough to translate into a standard 3-act Hollywood movie with the requisite

Shits n' Giggles
This movie is a HOOT, folks. I don't think it really came across in the review, but Screwballs is set apart from most teen sex comedies in that nearly every single character in the movie is incredibly horny, not main characters. The girl they're all obsessing over isn't just A prude in their high

Silence, you choad!
