1962. I remember the Ed Sullivan Show, the Mike Douglas Show, the Merv Griffin Show, the Dinah Shore Show…. Apparently that's all I did as a kid was was watch talk/variety shows.

Helmond Skelmond, your post is made of "win".

The Pearl Jam performances are posted on nbc.com/snl, but the video is messed up. Is it working for anyone else? The audio is fine, but the video is just a couple freeze frames. I can't help but wonder whether it's a technical snafu or something required by the band.

You know, my kids think you're the greatest. And thanks to your gloomy music, they've finally stopped dreaming of a future I can't possibly provide.

I read a news report that they want Michael Cera to play Gilligan.

I always thought a duet with Einar from the Sugarcubes would have been awesome.

It took Leno two full years before he started beating Letterman in the ratings.

Twister 2: Game Over, Man

Maybe we should go easy on Alexakis. It wasn't easy for him to be a scared white boy in a black neighbor-HOOD. His deep-rooted psychological issues may take him years of re-recording and more re-recording to resolve.

Dr. Robuttnik, I thought the same thing at first about the Tinkerbell movie. Per Wikipedia, the movie was shown a couple times in one theater in L.A. And yes, I have too much time on my hands.

OHHHH FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDGGGGGGE

When I was a kid, one of my friends used to sing "Kiss On My List" as "because your lip-stick print is on my dick". Good times.

Same as it ever was.

Castle, good.
Good grief, the author sure feels conflicted about liking Castle. Like the MST3K guys used to say, "it's just a show, you should really just relax". Sure, it's roughly equivalent to Moonlighting + Murder She Wrote, but it''s more watchable than both of those shows. It doesn't aim high, but it hits…

But the little kids understand…
My kids logged a combined 20 hours on this game over the weekend, so I'm giving this at least a B-. They don't particularly care about the "schoolyard bet", i.e whether Mario or Sonic is better at curling. They just like playing as their favorite characters, unlocking stuff, and…

That's what she said!

Remember when Rolling Stone ranked "I Want It That Way" as #10 in their list of "100 Greatest Pop Songs Of All Time"? Really.

RSVP link doesn't work
The RSVP link doesn't go anywhere. Probably because it's referring to "localhost". Can you fix it please, I'm actually planning to attend!

Actully, I kind of appreciate that they're Groening original drawings in all their messy detail, as opposed to the more polished Simpsons images that we see everywhere else.
