Grim sleeper, No, I work at a hardware retail giant but many of the repetitive/stupid questions I answer ARE over the phone. I completely understand why most people don't hang up on the Jerky Boys, a lot of their calls are not so different from the real calls I get from customers.

I think I would go crazy if I had to deal with that. Then again, it can't be much different than hearing the same questions and comments from customers all day at work.

Chemistry
I think this was touched on above, but I have to say that I really missed the chemistry between Conan and Andy. He was still funny on his own, but when I first started watching that show it was because they were so good at playing off each other, often spontaneously. I hope they get lots of opportunities for…

I haven't been commenting much lately cuz you keep saying what I was going to say, mbs. Of course you also say a lot of stuff I wouldn't say as well. You talk a lot. Anyway, I agree with you again. If Richter wasn't at least a little bitter I would suspect some sort of mental illness. They never even really gave his…

It was the Awful Truth and that reminds me that both of Michael Moore's TV shows were really damn good. We need another show like TV Nation, I suppose the Daily Show is sort of similar, but I miss the whole "pranks with a purpose" setup.

I thought it was pretty well established that easytoplease is one of the most attractive broads around here. I guess I miss out on a lot by not reading the taste test articles.
Personally, I'm still not convinced that there actually are any women commenters, but that probably just comes from my own experience of not…

Now if they'd move on to Seasons 2 and beyond of Malcolm in the Middle. Damn music rights.

Even though I know it's against their policy, I was fully expecting an exception to be made for this episode. Absolutely A+ television. I've only got an hour to spare before work and was going to spend it outside for our first real spring weather around here, but after watching a few minutes of this ep I had to finish…

That hoverboard thing had me so confused because there was a TV special hosted by Leslie Nielson (I think) in which he explained the special effects by saying they were really using hoverboards. He said it so matter-of-factly that I just accepted it as true and for years I thought they'd be showing up on store shelves…

I loved that they went after Disney for that shit. When I stayed at my sister's last year all they had on all day was the fucking Disney channel and that is some sick shit. They really hit the nail on the head. The problem is, my sister and all of the other super-Christian Disney lovers will never see it. Hopefully…

My eyes are up here!
Just had to comment on the fact that the "auto-recycler-o-matic" advertises this article with the second photo cropped so that you could only tell who it is if you've spent an unhealthy amount of time ogling Ms. Fey's mammaries.

Ahhh. This is why I come here. In the real world whenever I bring up MitM, I usually just get blank stares or a comment about how that show looks dumb. Thank you, AV Club, for reassuring me that there are people out there with similar taste. Aside from all the Muniz hate (personally, I'm pretty indifferent to him), it…

Just for fun
I'm curious to see if anyone wants to hate on Malcolm in the Middle. I'll make it easy by stating with 100% sincerity that it is in my top 5 sitcoms of all time. The show is just so smooth. Every element just came together to form a veritable Voltron of acting talent, great writing, originality,…

Defending Heroes logic at this point is kind of like defending the Theory of Spontaneous Generation, but I did realize during this episode that Claire's power would be pretty good in a fight. Imagine how easily you could mess someone up if you didn't have to worry about getting injured at all. She should go around…

Good call, but isn't it "If they MATED"?

I remember reading a Playboy interview with Sutherland back when the show was first starting in which he said that in all likelihood he would only be the main character for a couple of seasons and then someone else would take his place. Food for thought.

A fitting eulogy. I liked Bill, too, but I knew they were gonna kill someone off soon and I'm just glad it wasn't Pierce.

Sssh! I was enjoying that passage's poetic redundancy!

Issue
Minor complaint, Zack. It was my understanding that Jack had opened the canisters before they came out of the room and so the gas was already leaking and just needed a spark to ignite. A minor detail, but one that led me to wonder why they just couldn't throw a pack of matches at it and avoid the suicide mission.

I'm now watching Family Guy the same way I watch Heroes, it's just on in the background while I do other things (like read the AVC) and occasionally I see something funny/interesting and pay attention for a minute. This week I was paying attention to all the Johnny B in Family Guy, it reminded me that the juvenile,…
