Godfather I & II are prime examples of movies better than their source material. I was surprised at how pulpy and clunky the novel was when I finally read it. However, I highly recommend it if you thought the movies were lacking without a subplot about Sonny's mistress's giant vagina.

@dave shayne: Jefferson over Lincoln? You from Virginia?

She's sort of a Hulkitized Ally Sheedy.

Not that I'd ever watch it, but a Celebrity Wife Swap between Victoria and say Wanda Sykes or Rachael Maddow could be worthwhile.

Spurlock seems less interested in in being known as documentarian than as a seventies gay icon. Of course how else can one capture the zeitgeist of twenty years of The Simpsons without devoting five minutes to strutting around Rio de Janeiro in a Speedo?

So, it's like CSI.

I love how subtly and insidiously this scene exploits one of the oldest horror movie tropes: the wrong turn. Hitchcock doesn't explicitly show Marion accidentally veering off on a side road.

Although technically Episcopalian, Robin Williams always assumes the faith of whichever standup he sees the previous evening.

Ken Burns' Drag Race

This episode made me happy.

You rabble can't even see that Radargeek is a heroic individualist who will never be enslaved by the grammar and spelling collectivists .

I really enjoyed Chichton but much less so toward the end when he descended into crotchety rich old white guy libertarianism. His straw-man attacks on ball busting feminists and global warming scientists were just tiresome.

Hey, they needed throw Reiser a bone for the heroic way he sucked Leno's dick during The Tonight Show debacle.

I just want to see where this list rates on The AV Club Inventory of Seasonally Dubious Inventories.
