All the other Carradines out there, and the guy you mixed Keith Carradine up with is a non-Carradine?

"At this point, having been a television dad is a pretty good indicator of being a pretty horrible person."

Cosby to Collins:

All the times Deanna Troi was mind-raped, Guinan probably thought she was lying about it or asking for it.

Personally, I think FBI Director Jack Crawford bears a resemblance to a different L&O character, Detective Joe Fontana.

The problem is that, of the three endings, only the third one (the one in which they ALL did it) is satisfying by itself. The other two are let-downs in isolation. The film really should have just gone into general release with the "video version" of all three endings. It's the best version of the film and hell, the

Yeah. Young Sherlock Holmes would've been better if it had followed through on its premise of actually being, y'know, a Sherlock Holmes film. Alas, halfway through, it transmogrifies into an Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom wannabe. Hell, in some countries, it was released under the title Young Sherlock Holmes and

"He has his father's ear."

I was under the impression that Neil Young confused Johnny Rotten with Sid Vicious, and thought Rotten was the dead one. Anyway, here's something from a 2012 interview with L.A. Record:

Having directed Jaws 2 as well as Supergirl, Jeannot Szwarc has the distinction of being the poor man's Steven Spielberg as well as the poor man's Richard Donner. (I think Szwarc later redeemed himself on the small screen. He directed episodes of Homicide: Life on the Street.)

Santa Claus: The Movie is basically Superman III, with Christopher Reeve, Richard Pryor, and Robert Vaughn replaced by David Huddleston, Dudley Moore, and John Lithgow.

Yeah. I get that Janet Hubert was miffed because she was a Juilliard-trained actress or whatever and she had to defer to Will Smith who was learning to act on the spot, but Jesus Christ, the whole point of the show was that it was a star vehicle for Will Smith! What did Hubert expect? And for all of Smith's supposed

Yeah. Sam stands by his ex-teammate who comes out of the closet, and ultimately would rather lose his regular customers than throw gay people out of his bar. One of Mayday's finest moments.

I think Head of the Class had some legitimately redeeming qualities, in both the Hesseman and Connolly iterations. By no means a great show, but yeah, far superior to Saved by the Bell. I was going to say, it's a shame it's not as well remembered as Saved by the Bell…then I realised that Saved by the Bell is probably

I got into The Fresh Prince around the early 2000s thanks to weekday afternoon repeats on Channel 9. (I also - God help me! - got into Head of the Class the same way.)

I'm in love with a Jacques Derrida. Read a page and know what I need to.

That was probably Uncle Phil's best angry moment. (I'm also partial to http://youtu.be/LqPbEOKzzUA, but it probably doesn't count as it's Will's bullshit testimony and not what actually happened.)

What about the episode where Uncle Phil has a heart attack and is hospitalised, and Carlton is crushed because he's never seen his father in such a vulnerable state?

I don't doubt that much, if not all, of that monologue was improvised by Will Smith. James Avery's reaction to Will as he's riffing on all the things he did without his father's help - the way Avery's sort of nodding along to it - suggests he's hearing this stuff for the first time and isn't exactly sure where it's
