It's a testament to how important her character became and and how much she had become linked with the show that people remember Chloe O'Brien as always being part of "24", from the beginning when really she first appeared in season 3!

I was resistant of Chris Elliot because I loved Paul Reubens playing her brother in an earlier episode as more of an angry person, with the same snobby opinions of comic books and pop cultrues as Jack Black was to music in HIGH FIDELITY. Eventually I was won over in the episode where Elliot's character talks about

I read it was because when Joss Whedon was doing his Shakespeare readings with some of his cast members of his shows at his house, Amy Acker impressed him so much playing Juliet's mother that he decided to use that other side of her on the show.

The great thing about Ben Wyatt was besides being a great straight man was he was funny on his own. I also love that he had this failure of bankrupting his town when he was a teenage mayor that he constantly had to live down.

Lowell was more Latka with a mix of Reverend Jim. Antonio was more of regular guy. He was actually the opposite of the Italian stereotype in that he couldn't score with women.

BJ was not as willing to cheat on his wife as opposed to hedonistic Trapper and Potter being a regular army man but still compassionate and competent surgeon was great.

The early seasons were a bit rough but "Duet" from S1 was one of the greatest episodes of Star Trek ever and showed DS9's potential. They tried recreating a similar episode in Voyager with Neelix and just, no.

It tied up the whole thing with his family house being dishonored and Gowron. And thank freaking god Worf/Troi ended.

I always loved to show she was "bad" they showed her rolling up and smoking a joint while on the phone the first night she was staying with the Walsh's. Ooooooooh!

Favorite bit. In one of the many, MANY episodes involving a hostage negotiation, Dan is being held at knifepoint by two Puerto Rican gang members. Roz says to Judge Stone (as she reaches inside her jacket for her gun)"I can pick him off clear from here sir!"
Judge Stone: "Without hitting Dan?"
Roz: (throws up hands,

No that's Brian Bendis. Joss makes everybody snarky but they sound at least true to their character. Wash never would say anything Jayne would say.

I liked the one time when they switched though, I think it was that Delta Knights movie with David Warner. Mike was down in the castle male bonding with Bobo and Brain Guy and Pearl was in the theater riffing with the bots.

Yeah DS9 was already starting to improve by the time Worf arrived so it wasn't a case of him saving a sinking ship and being on a rocket that's just about to take off.

I liked that she early on formed a bond with Norm who was also a "loser" but Rebecca was always in denial about it while Norm had long ago accepted it.

Erin was the only reason I kept watching the Michael-less years but even then it got so bad I stopped regularly viewing. It got better in the last season when Greg Daniels came back as showrunner

I unabashedly like Scott Valentine as Nick, Mallory's boyfriend in FAMILY TIES, only because he brought out the best in Michael Gross, the second funniest cast member after Michael J. Fox. He was a character both Stephen Keaton and Alex could agree on as they were both appalled by him dating Mallory.

Elroy was my favorite part of the weddinge episode. Both actors have appeared in comedy before. Keith David in Enlisted and Paget in Andy Richter Controls the Universe. Both underrated but shortlived gems.

Anya and Spike were added to fill the void Cordelia left as the one who says "This is nuts."

"So Zapp Rowsdower. Is that a stupid name or……?"
