As she mentions, Carol Kane did one guest shot in the second season, came back as an occasional guest in the fourth to marry Latka, and was only a credited cast member in the fifth and final season.

I think my favorite couplet of the song does transfer to punk and I always figured it was the impetus for the cover:

He's also used in another one of my favorite bits on odd social practices. In "The Special Section," Andy's insulted because Larry was in New York shooting a movie and didn't call Andy to check in and say he's in town.

"Seen today, The Graduate is a movie about a young man of limited interest, who gets a chance to sleep with the ranking babe in his neighborhood, and throws it away in order to marry her dorky daughter."—-Roger Ebert

I agree. Rambling Rose is another excellent film and she's done strong work for HBO, too. My heart sank a couple of years ago when I saw her credit on my daughter's American Girl DVD (akin to a feature-length afterschool special, not a film about the dolls themselves).

In the anniversary DVD's making-of retrospective, Martha Coolidge talked about how she got the very low-budget film on the basis that it would be a nondescript teen skin flick. The most important thing to the producers was their insistence that there be four distinct bare-breast scenes.

Yes, except for the last two Tom Joad-era songs, "Back in Your Arms" and "Brothers Under the Bridge." Also, "Gave it a Name" (recently heard in the opening credits of Show Me a Hero) was written for Human Touch but re-recorded for Tracks.

Definitely my favorite sketch in the film for his commitment, the way they mock typical invisible-man tropes and the bored yet kindly indulging reactions of the pub patrons.

Everyone knows about his commitment to sustainable living, but he's not humorless about it. He was on with Bill Maher and Maher marveled at how Begley first started driving an electric car in 1970.

In Cosell's score-settling post-MNF book, I Never Played the Game, he made his familiar arguments against the "jockocracy" in sportscasting. He suggested that to revive the cultural presence that MNF had in the Seventies, they should chuck one of the ex-players and look to entertainment.

It's such a small part of his career, but if I saw Colbert before a show, I'd be tempted to say "You will faiiilllllll" the way he did to Larry David before he was going on stage in Curb Your Enthusiasm's version of "The Producers."

I watched that game after coming home from seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark. Doesn't get much more exciting for a 10-year-old.

They could do they did with "White Lines" and tack on "So don't do it!" at the end.

Whaddaya want?!?!?!

There was a lot of chemistry on that set. The show was run by a married couple and there were three couples among the cast and occasional male companions. In addition to McRaney and Burke, Hal Holbrook played the steady boyfriend of his real-world wife Dixie Carter, and Jean Smart married Richard Gilliland, who…

On Julia, "She wore old money as casually as last year's clothes."

To me, the key line is Henry's voiceover that "We were like movie stars with muscle."

The first one I remember was on Falcon Crest. Richard Channing (David Selby) announced to a large party that he had finally discovered the identity of his mother, Jacqueline Perrault. His outraged step-mother, Angela Channing, screamed at Perrault.

There was a moderate fuss about how ABC rejected the original title of the episode where Dave and Maddie finally get together. "The Big Bang" back then was deemed as too dirty, so the producers replaced it with a reference to an X-rated film. I guess ABC figured the types of folks who'd object wouldn't get it.

It's mentioned in the story, but I think " 'Twas the Episode Before Christmas" was a turning point. Perhaps because it was a Christmas episode, there was more emotion, including an exchange between Dave and Maddie about her potential as a mother and glimpses of how three different "alone" people view Christmas.
