The first time I saw Knocked Up, I watched it with my extremely conservative roommate and her friend, who had only watched it on cable and gushed about how funny it was. Needless to say, they were quite uncomfortable throughout the entire viewing of the unrated version of the movie.

I really thought we were going to learn that Grigg was an old lover of Carson from his wild days in the theatre. Anyone else?

Of COURSE that's how her daughter's name is spelled.

I wanted to claim my Netflix subscription as an educational expense—I minored in Film Studies, and that's how I justified the cost to my parents.

My pop culture gift would be The Thrilling Adventure Hour, a podcast/stage show/old-timey-style radio show that only dummies don't love. I know it's quite a bit older than 2013, but 1) I only discovered it myself in the last year and a half, and 2) this year's Kickstarter campaign for a concert DVD, graphic novel,

My sophomore English class viewing of A Separate Peace was notable for teaching all of the boys in my class that song about Hitler only having one ball. They would gleefully sing that song for the rest of the year.

My parents were reluctant, but allowed it, but my mom decided she would read one too, just to make sure. We both had

Yes. And maybe he could get Amy again to be Stephanie Zimbalist? I'm sure she'd be game.

"Animals have a universal language, like Esperanto."

Mannn, I came here JUST to nominate "Pangs." And I stand by it. It's one of my favorite episodes, period.

YES Re: Caulfield. I always figured it was one of those things people would say I couldn't understand because I'm a lady. I don't care if he's an unhappy dude, he sucks.

Ah, I didn't realize! That's good news.

I would LOVE for John Noble's character to be recurring. Any chance I can get to have him on my TV I will take!

Which upon further research is common knowledge. Welp. There goes my fun fact for telling at parties.

Someone told me (and I'm pretty sure this is true) that the working title for Nicholas Sparks' The Last Song (the book) was "Untitled Miley Cyrus Project."

I definitely forgot that Dreamworks did things that weren't animated. I was picturing Shrek, just with a mustache and riding up San Juan hill.
