My favorite was the #1 for "how Charles Kuralt will spend his retirement" .

Nope.

Right, other than Dwight, all of these guys are just bad at their jobs. From my experience, once you've gotten a job, you can get away with being pretty incompetent and/or lazy (I've been both) for years without getting fired.

I actually don't think that Don Draper belongs on the list, simply because I don't think his behavior is that unusual for a white collar 1950's job.

I never understood the office-hater argument that an idiot could never be  promoted to the position of office manager. Have you guys never worked in an office?

They said more realistic than most Prime-time sitcoms.

It's been a number of years since I've watched Home Improvements but I remember thinking that the show within a show was popular, the explanation being that people watched the show to see how bad he'd mess stuff up as opposed to actually learning anything. If he's getting good ratings, why would the TV network care…

My impression of Tool Time was it was the kind of show that would develop a cult following among stoned college students as opposed to people who actually wanted to learn anything about woodworking.

I disagree with Tim the Toolman. I thought the whole point of that show was that it was like Nascar or The Crocodile Hunter where you were watched just hoping he would get injured (a sentiment I can understand).

THat's like saying "Hannibal Lector kills people and nobody gets mad!"

As I mentioned else-where in this thread, the super-hero code of "I will never kill" is mostly a plot contrivance. I say this because I see no conceivable reason that a person who was not mentally retarded would not have killed The Joker by now. When you KNOW that he's going to be in Arkham for… what? a week before…

Can somebody explain to me how not wanting a character to betray a deeply held moral conviction that he has had for 3/4 of a century is "a rule that exists outside of the narrative"?

So, I've never watched this TV show. I couldn't get past the premise… A serial killer who kills serial killers… I guess I'm a little bewildered because a lot of people are saying that it started out good and got bad. To me, it just sounds like the dumbest idea for a TV show ever.

I've never watched Dexter but know a girl who seems pretty smart who loves loves this show.  she seemed surprised when i said people think it went downhill. Should I give up on thinking she's smart?

I never understood the "more brain than heart" criticism. "I Want You" is one of the single most emotional songs I've ever heard.

For me… Jeffrey Tambour in Larry Sanders when he finds out that a discussion about the missionary position was transcribed in a fan newsletter.
"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck"

Actually, being an atheist makes me love superman even more… It's extremely rare to see a die-hard moral figurehead who almost never mentions any type of religion.

I was surprised this wasn't on here as well.

If you think that teens dominate the culture, you need to watch CBS prime-time…

Just to be devil's advocate, he says that he doesn't like Taylor Swift because she's young and "you're not a fully formed person til you're 30"
