This is terrific, it brought an appreciative tear to my eye. Reminds me of the glorious triumph of the Cormac McCarthy Yelp reviews: yelpingwithcormac.tumblr.com

I was Monk's entire 18-35 demo and I didn't even notice it was him. This stupid show, this happens to me once a season.

Oh, Trophy Wife, I've missed you!

No tension, no proper mystery, too much soppy handholding and self-conscious gif fodder. Less a narrative, more a series of short fanfictions - "WHAT IF JOHN PICKED SHERLOCK TO BE HIS BEST MAN??! HOW WILL HE COPE? PURE FLUFF! PLEASE COMMENT!"

Hot damn, Joel McCrea, I could eat you up with a spoon…

Honestly, I like I Love Lucy but I feel it's the farthest away of the classic 1950s/early 60s comedies from modern sitcoms. People who find it easy to appreciate old fashioned humour will still enjoy it, but I bet they'd score a whole bunch of new viewers if they aired Jack Benny or Sgt Bilko and showed people that…

It's no Dick van Dyke Show, or Andy Griffith Show, or Jack Benny Program, or Burns and Allen, or Honeymooners, or Sergeant Bilko, but okay! I guess I'll take what I can get!

In fairness, if I remember rightly, Arnaz was from a very wealthy, aristocratic family - which in most Hispanic countries tends to mean white, as they would generally be descended from the European Spanish settlers with minimal mixing with the native or black populations.

"Style-wise, Perry seems to be stuck in 1931, and there’s an undeniable early-talkie charm to the film’s long takes, out-of-nowhere wipes, slightly mismatched reverse angles, just-a-tad-too-long cutaways, and stage-voice performances."

Christ - the more I hear about it, the more the 'rise of TV' era of moviemaking seems like a horrible, surreal nightmare.

Very enjoyable film, thanks for picking it. Donlevy has become rather lost in history, but he makes a charismatic lead. The ending is a little too sour for my taste, but I give Sturges full credit for his willingness to pull the rug out from what seems to be a Capra-esque tale of altruism triumphing over cynicism.

If we can extrapolate my sample of one, that film has been seen by everyone approx eighty times.

Tom Harris' reaction was exactly what mine would have been. If Amy ever feels like recreating this on the streets of the England's south coast, I am willing to go as far as Plymouth to make this happen.

Writers and actors of The Middle, you bastards! There I was, calmly chortling my way through a solid installment of Heck family antics and then BOOM they pull out Cats In The Cradle, and I'm sitting in the living room fighting back tears and hoping no-one else in the room will notice my eyes brimming over.

Point taken. I suppose we should just be thankful he turned up in the first place.

Yeah, if I were Waylon Jennings I would probably have asked when that duet we did was getting a release…

That's just what I had in mind :D Although, like many non-Cockneys, I grew up thinking that his interpretation was normal…

Worth adding Dick van Dyke as the elderly banker in Mary Poppins. To this day, I know grown adults who had to have this pointed out to them. An outstanding little performance - with a dead-on English accent, to boot…

While the cast excels in general (there is no character whose scenes I tend to faze out for, unusual even with shows I like), this episode only served to confirm that Warren is emerging as my MVP for the season. Between the 'get some' debacle and joining in with Kate for the "chickawowow" porn theme then asking "What…
