So I watched Rudolph for the first time in a while this week, and I was amazed by how flamboyantly gay he comes across. While all the other elves look pretty much the same, with big noses, big ears, and little facial features, Hermy has big eyes, feminine features, a swoop haircut, and apparently a mouth covered in

She is wearing the world's shortiest skirt…

I think a lot of Fringe fans became upset with this season because we all know Peter's going to be sent back to the original timeline, thereby making most of this season "worthless." These versions of Olivia and Walter and Astrid and Lincoln are all going away sooner rather than later, and I think a lot of fans aren't

Okay, so I didn't watch this show but I saw the promos for it dozens of times during the CBS football games and I have one annoyance: when Kat Dennings comes out wearing her elf costume, she says she looks like a "North Pole dancer." The outfit she's wearing is an incredibly conservative, full-length, not sexy elf

Considering this show had an episode where Hayley fell in love with her dad's body double AND an episode where a robotic version of Stan fell in love with Francine, I'd say tonight's episode is par for the course.

Is Inspector Spacetime still on though?

They syndicate the fuck out of this show. It's on three hours a night for three nights a week on TBS and at least one hour a night on my local stations. Then again, I've noticed syndication tends to come in tsunamis. This year, it's all Big Bang Theory and 30 Rock. Last year, it was all Family Guy and The Office.

According to IMDB, Stuart appears more often than any other male secondary character. To highlight the small bench of characters this show has, the next male character with the most appearances is Raj's father.

The look of pure entrancement on Dennis's face during Charlie's dance may be the high point of the season for me.

I really don't get the love Mayim Bialik gets for the role of Amy. She's both a desperate girl looking to fit in after years of social isolation AND a Sheldon-clone robot. Add in the once-an-episode gay panic joke and that's all the character amounts to.

Take that, Maynard G. Krebs!

What radio markets do AV Clubbers live in? Talking about Collective Soul being on classic rock radio reminds of me of when Tasha talked about The Decemberists' "The Rake's Song" being "overplayed." These seem like complaints from some far off world totally unrelated to my own.

Yeah, that's right. He's a real troublemaker.

40 years later, Superfriends still defines Aquaman for a lot of people. No matter how hard DC tries, they just can't get that stigma off Aquaman.

"These comment are pretty sparse.  Is there like a cut-off where they abandon a TV Club Classic?  I would be severely disappointed.  Hopefully more people are reading them than are commenting."
It's because The Critic comes up on Sunday afternoon. Generally, all the TV Club Classics that post over the weekend get few

I'm glad I'm not the only person who noticed that. I was still commiserating about how Lincoln Lee's Sprint phone works in a tunnel, while mine can't get reception in parts of my house.

Whatever. It still needs to be explored/explained.

Watching Stephen Root like this just makes me long for Pushing Daisies even more. *sad

And there's still the black universe where Peter wound up after he initially disappeared from the blue universe. You know, the post-apocalyptic one that we've only seen seconds of.

Hey, it's Crazy Under the Desk Guy! Give me some candy!
