"The men had a whip round and got you this. Well, what I mean is, I had the men roundly whipped until they got you this."

Tally ho my fine saucy young trollop! Trip along here with all your cash, and some naughty night attire and you'll be staring at my bedroom ceiling from now til Christmas, you lucky tart!

"Duel and Duality" is just the best.

"Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more."

"Unnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnghaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Almost done."

As two characters navigating their way around LA show biz, Kate and Ricki work perfectly fine. Also I don't mind that Ricki is sort of the slutty one (I liked the montage of her topless scenes) and Kate the sort of shy androgynous one. I liked that they got Ben Kingsley to do that scene with her, and he underplayed it…

"Our community is mobilized now, LL, and we are not leaving until we are heard! You can't ignore us, Liz Lemon! We will be out here everyday, misremembering movie quotes, because as Braveheart said, "You can take our freedom, unless you take our lives!"

Wasn't this a 30 Rock episode?

When I first went to see it I was all of 12, figuring I was seeing a Disney-ish version of Star Wars, and I guess I have to give Disney some sort of perverse credit because it was absolutely nothing like Star Wars. At all. (OK, the snooty English robot was there, but even that seemed tacked on for comic relief that…

It seems pretty dire just from the promos. I mean, a guy's head exploding into confetti at the idea of Grammar and Lawrence in a TV show together? Really, FX, you're going to go with that one? Oh, the barriers being broken. I never though I'd live to see the day where an uptight old white guy gets taught to lighten up…

Maybe so, but I think I'm just tired of the misanthropic British guy who's oh-so brutally perceptive about human behavior. It comes across as really forced if not somewhat cliched, is what I'm saying.

"Why, your very posture tells me, 'Here is a man of true greatness.'"
"Either that or 'Here are my genitals, please kick them.'"

I love the gleefulness of Baldrick's next two lines:

One reference which was clear to me when I first saw it was that Maximilian (especially at the end "hell" segment) was patterned after the demon from the "Night on Bald Mountain" section of Fantasia.

I agree with the aimlessness of it all, but I suppose that's a bit of the point right now. The thing I find least convincing is Jimmy's rants, which sound like whiny leftover speeches from Dr. House. Gretchen seems to be more spot on when navigating through the bullshit.

I know it's useful to point out the jokes that by today's standards might be questionable and attempt to give them context, but I will never understand all the hang-wringing that goes along with it.

Those specials typical confuse a "hit" with the concept of "an artist who, if you were thinking about them now (and assuming you grew up in the United States),would be thought of by this particular song much more than others." But that's hard to fit in TV Guide.

I like that it's timely. I mean who wasn't clamoring for this, amiright? And hinting that Peter Griffin is a rip off of Homer? I can't believe they went there!

True. I don't even think of Miggins as a regular member of the cast, even though she appears in every episode. She's like Johnny on Police Squad!: she gets her one scene with Blackadder per episode, providing a piece of information the keeps the plot moving along. while not being actually involved in the story.
I do…

The first glee club was started in London in the 1780's. The term did fall out of favor in the UK by around WWII (music groups like it were mostly called "choral societies" by then), but is still used in the US.
