Weird things I think about in my spare time: Is "Diggs" the shortest title for a Simpsons episode ever?

Enlisted seems like a show that would get a nice boost after its first season is added to Netflix, so I hope Fox holds on to the show until then at least

Which shows should get the Mad Men/The Shield treatment of revisiting the early unreviewed season for TV Club Classic?

I would have probably cycled through about 10 potentially racist answers before getting to "dude"

Yep they are definitely making up for giving a bunch of easy FJs last week

It never really occurred to me before but tonights FJ really reinforces what Arthur said, that studying up on Presidents, countries, and capitals really helps

He had form in the past?

BERT is performed with special appearance by the USC marching band

How noticeable is it that the earlier scenes in Boyhood were filmed over a decade ago? Is there a different sensibility to the dialogue/directorial style that changes along with the characters?

The same could be said of many other sites

I've been a huge fan of Seanbaby ever since I first read his stuff in EGM about a decade ago. Some of the stuff on his original site making fun of bizarre old comic book ads have caused me bodily injury from laughing so hard

JDATE is my favorite acronym. I think David Wong has even made jokes about people using that acronym to quickly look for the book and finding the other site instead

I missed most of the middle hour of the Oscars broadcast, was there any special tribute to Roger Ebert? Gene Siskel got his own special remembrance, separate from the Memoriam segment after he died IIRC

I distinctly remember that Drew Carey arc and the sad way it ended. I still say that is a show that deserves to be re-evaluated, even its later seasons when it wasn't as funny the producers realized nobody was watching and they started doing odd experiments with camera placement and storylines

"When the characters go to a gathering of 4Chan users, they find some rude and stupid kids, an imposing figure in a Guy Fawkes mask representing Anonymous, and a man jerking off to anime porn. It seems more like setting a scene based on reading the website’s Wikipedia page than an actual joke."
