Yeah! I would hope a square-jawed guy like William Devane is good for at least 2 beers.

Testament is a great film which was, at the time, practically pushed to the side because of the ludicrous hype around the overblown TV film The Day After.

Which reminds me of this bit from The Critic

One day I started watching some of those and before I knew it, 4 hours had passed and there were a ton more I wanted to watch. It's addictive.

I thought the same thing. He's probably respectful in general, but when Michael Richards came up- KAPOW. I was floored. I know that it's general knowledge that it was a legendary debacle, but wow.

I was amazed he wanted to do The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training. Thinking back on it, as a sequel to such an iconic film it's not all that bad and Devane gives it just enough gravitas to make it hold up. (i.e. the "Let them play!" bit should've been hokey as hell, but Devane made it work.)

I love that grounded element about him (and many other actors like him), "hey, asshole, it's not just about you, the camera guy has to pay his rent too." Super cool.

Absolutely. His stint on 24 easily ranks up there with the best stuff he's ever done, if not the best.

I want… a beer. [Walks off to bar. Returns after a moment, takes a swig of his beer.] I don’t like talking on the phone. What else ya got?

I agree the tone has shifted a bit (it probably had to, now that they are living together), but I think the darkness underlying it all is still there.

Hello, my name is James and I'm a quipaholic.

What, no "leather bewbs" joke about Scarlett Johansson? I am disappointed.

I imagine the conversation would go something like this:

Judging from last week, she would just get it during the day and then get a post-abobo mani-peti (I cannot remember a TV character ever being that casual about abortion in my life.)

I have no doubt that what Lindsay is doing won't work, that's what makes her desperation to do something so ridiculous that much more pathetic and hilarious (her seeming enjoyment of the Popsicle being the piece de resistance.) I don't know how Edgar cannot be completely traumatized from watching that.

"If you must know, I'm able to finish with her REGULAR!!"

I haven't seen casting this desperate since Tiffany voiced Judy in The Jetsons movie.

I was waiting for some sort of rug pull because the way it ended with Jimmy and Gretchen in the bar was way too neat, especially for this show. To say I was not disappointed would be an understatement.

I loved how they were perfectly incapable of faking a fight and all they could talk about was sucking dicks (mostly in the wrong context)

Paul's sperm was like Chekhov's Gun. Only it was sperm. Chekhov's sperm.
