I didn't think that either. It's to Duvall's credit that she sang that song without a shred of naughtiness in her voice, just a beautifully weary tone where she basically admitted that all she knew about the guy she was supposed to marry was that he was great big oaf.

Walston was born to play Poop Deck Pappy. The casting in general was incredibly spot on.

Good catch. At first blush it seemed to me it was a parody (Key and Peele leapt to mind), but I took it at face value, given that everything else in the video was legit. Upon reflection though you're right that it doesn't wash. (Seeing the whole thing makes it blindingly obvious.) I still want one of those cigarettes,

Wow. Good catch. My first instinct was correct. (Watching the full thing makes it blindingly obvious.)

That's the best commercial for cigarettes I've ever seen. (Well, that and The Flintstones.) I so wanna smoke now.

I remember the McDLT! "It keeps the hot side hot and the cool side cool!" Too bad they put the whole shebang under the same lamps they put everything else under.

The hemorrhoids are from using the soap the wrong way.

If people didn't know any better they'd think that "Black and Long" commercial was a Key and Peele sketch. 70's parodies are nice and all, but nothing beats the real thing. (And that would be Coke.)

I think they were trying to position Liz as "only sane person" only to try and subvert said characterization. (We are only a few episodes away from Liz absent-mindedly kidnapping a baby.) Pete is the only sane man at this point in the run. (That will change as his character ceases to be Liz's confidant and becomes

And when Liz does get what she thinks is a true ally (played by Carrie Fischer), she turns out to be nuttier than the rest of them.

"So give Milton a kidney. We all believe in this cause so much that we're doing it for free. Except for Sheryl."
"That's right. I'm the only one getting paid."
"And only three of us are drunk."

Michael Sheen was so delightfully milquetoast.

Well, I found Lesbian Mario Brothers:

As i said above, I've been binging hard on this show anew, and we're very happy together thank you, yes I do want to marry it

Not my favorite episode, but it does get certain things going.

Done by Tina's husband Jeff Richmond. Excellent work. He scored it almost like classic Warner Brothers cartoons, with leitmotifs and some recognizable songs snuck in to underscore certain scenes and themes. I especially liked the music used for many of Kenneth's scenes (it pops up at the end of this scene: https://www.

I dig how you ended with the Star Wars quote.

We get an early indicator of Pete's attitude towards his family:

"Am I the worst person you know?”
“Ms Maroney, judging is for God and his angels. So yes, you are.”

Reading is fundamental! But not around here, apparently. I swear there are commenters who have TL:DR down to a way of life.
