I've been waiting decades for a suitable homage to the Falcon Crest credits!

I'm three, Donna Pescow was Angie and Doris Roberts was her mother. Plus, a classic '70s opening-credits sequence that seemed like a three-minute travelogue of the city where the show was set (in this case, Philadelphia).

They meta-humored that in the episode when they're all freaking out about the review in the radio trade magazine which described Catherine as "chronically underused."

I've never looked at googly-eyed walnuts or stressed-out Pepsi bottles the same way again.

Rachel Ray's EVOO decimated the Genco Olive Oil business.

There are takes out there where they sing the Swahili lyrics. During the chorus it's a call-and-response thing like "We are the world…Sha-lum. We are the children…Sha-lingay."

Or how Benjamin Braddock's maturity issues might have been prompted by the 10-year age difference between William Daniels and Dustin Hoffman.

As rough as that moment is, it's preceded by the wonderful description of how Kevin's mother came into her own.

Having seen "Lombardi," I wish Lauria had gotten a Tony nomination, but I also think I understand why Judith Light's performance stood out a little more. Even casual fans are so familiar with actual footage of Lombardi that a portrayal seems like ground that's been covered before, even when the actor is excellent. I…

YOU LAID YOUR SELF DOWN!!!!!!!!

Yes, especially in hindsight. Though Elijah's section is far out-creeped by the use of little girls to portray the "Addicted to Love" women.

Both Buck and Rodman were great rebounders (and isn't the Rapture a type of rebound?), but they're temperamental opposites.

It's a great little moment in the film when Vern tries to get the guys to reprise it after the drama at the junkyard. It's hilariously oblivious and Chris shouts at him, but Vern can't stop without finishing the verse, so he does it at a barely audible level.

He was the title character of the Steve Bochco detective show, "Delvecchio." That would have been another interesting subject, given the "Hill Street" connections (Charles Haid and Michael Conrad were co-stars), but Hirsch's career is too broad to include everything.

Though it won the "Best Comedy Series" Emmy, the first season was muddled. Reverend Jim was only in the episode with Latka's paper marriage, and they were still working out how to apportion the "young male striver" stories among Bobby, Tony and John Burns.

Even as a teen, I recognized the absurdity of Hirsch refusing to do the interview partly because someone would be making a mint off of a "Taxi" episode guide.

Do you get that from the song lyrics or from the video? I don't think the song says or implies that Atlantic City was paradise until Resorts and the others opened casinos there in '78. I think Bruce's perspective is similar to yours, that it is, and always was, a place where what looks good is barely concealed…

To me, "Home Improvement" was "that show with the actress from 'Eisenhower and Lutz.' "

But it led to the Weird Al parody that tied together Tonya Harding, Lorena Bobbitt and that kid who got caned in Singapore!

It gives me new respect for Robert Conrad's competitive zeal to learn that everyone got paid the same, win or lose.
