The Lady GaGa/Iggy Pop/Beastie Boys bit that ends "Jump on Stage" is fucking awesome. And that song starts with Portishead vs. Big Boi. Possibly my favorite song on the album.

I liked it when it fought the T-800 in promos for The Sarah Conner Chronicles.

I'm surprised ESPN decided to go with the Niners-Cards game this week. There must be some flexibility with the schedule, like MNF, where ESPN can drop the game and replace it with one more interesting. Tonight, we saw two teams battle for second place to win a division championship and then get eliminated by the…

Thursday Night Football
Despite your complaints about the NFL network's sound problems, I think TNF is visually the best looking game of the week. The picture seems incredibly sharp and clear, the graphics are very readable and the little time-out markers are easy to see. I always feel like my HDtv is getting a fine…

And It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Skating With Celebrities was a real show that took over Arrested Development's time slot. This is a different show.

I was fairly certain Nabin would discuss Gnarls Barkley on the next installment of NOW, but to my shock, Crazy isn't on it. If there's one megahit pop song of the last five years, I would have thought that would be it.

I think the line is "don't tattle" which is much funnier.

This discussion is also making me hungry for the embrace of Killbot's mother.

You popped Woody Woodpecker!

It's a "90 minute special" in the sense that they showed the previous two Christmas specials before the premiere.

I believe The Head and The Maxx were Liquid Television alumni. Of course, I wouldn't call either of those massive breakthroughs.

As a kid, I *loved* the two Riddler episodes in B:TAS. It was only later that I found out there were so few Riddler episodes because the writers had a difficult time writing the episodes in such a way to make them mind-bending and still make sense.

And he has perfect spider-pitch!

From what I know, Parallax is an "entity" that can possess Green Lanterns during periods of great trauma or fear. This was retconned in because people really hated how Hal Jordan killed so many people in the '90s, so the Parallax entity made it "not his fault."

May Alan Scott attempt to save you, but his ring won't work on the tree falling on you.

Heroin.
