I'm pretty sure that commercial is how he paid for his liver transplant.

It's going to be fun hearing Fox's NFL announcers tomorrow try to transition from their Breasts Cancer awareness month promos to their "New SImpsons in two weeks" promos by mentioning Marcia Wallace's passing without getting their own balls stuck in the noses. By which I mean, it will be depressing and awful.

in Deadline, Jean specifically says that Krabappel was NOT the character the earlier story was about.

No, that ought to be a barbecue cookbook: Some Grills are Bigger than Others — The Keys to Making Everything Perfect, from Burgers to a Full Roast Pig.

They would never associate themselves with that sort of disreputable product.

As long as it takes for NBC to find shows that are actual hits so they don't have to settle for criticallly acclaimed cult shows. So 2-3 years, which is probably the longest we'd want them around anyways.

So, they dislike the show's having the Asian guy bang a white girl more than they like the eminent fungibility of the show's black characters.

Red Sox vs. Cardinals is almost as bad as it could get in terms of fan base insufferability, unless you somehow managed to have it be Yankees vs. Cowboys vs. Lakers, though in all cases the insufferability is 86% media.

The drag queen friend of Edith Bunker's who was gay-bashed to death on All in the Family was more sexually realized than Mitch and Cam.

Cameron was written reasonably well the first year, and Eric Stonestreet was good because of it. But he's since become the worst written character on the show. If the show was less successful in middle America, they probably would go ahead and break them up (I suspect this may have been the original long-term plan),…

If Mango and Gilly had a child, it wouldn't be half as annoying and stupid as Kirby.

The Thompson Twins wigs in that were fantastic.

I don't think they actually provide enough turnaround to for that to even be possible. I think they just decided they didn't want to kill Token.

Thankfully, not direct experience — my father, while with his own flaws and foibles was a great guy. But I was witness to it and I saw one of my best friends when I was growing up be utterly destroyed by a variation of Nick's dad.

As hard as it is to like Nick and/or to sympathize with him a lot of the time, he was practically born without a chance. The minute his father didn't see his exact reflection coming back at him in Nick's eyes, all his father has ever done to and for Nick has been about destroying his son for not being another version…

Setting aside the double newspeak and debate about that double-newspeak we use in the abortion debate in the US, I'm pretty sure that poem Proops read was "pro-choice." You should fix that.

Brian Doyle-Murray and Bill Murray aren't half-brothers; they're full brothers. Brian just uses Doyle-Murray because there was already a Brian Murray in the union (Doyle was their grandmother's maiden name).

They all choose their own Halloween name, so it was Sam Simon who chose to change it.

They didn't move things around; you may have just be switched to a west coast feed, which is why my DVR didn't get anything initially. Fucking Comcast, first they put Comedy Central HD on a west coast feed, now Adult Swim HD on the west coast feed. At least AMC and FXX are still the east coast feeds. Living on the…

The map labeled the two countries as West Korea and Korea though. so West Korea would be west of (the country of) Korea and the western part of the (peninsula of) Korea.
