Goddammit, Daddy! You've got a hell of a lot to learn about radioactive spiders!

Babylon 5
I caught a few episodes while the first season was in first-run, and was not impressed. It seemed to me that the creators of the show didn't really have a clear idea what they were trying to do with it. The tone felt pseudo-cerebral and forced. When season 2 started, and season 1 was in frequent reruns, I

"quivering old soak", huh? It would not do to be apprehended, representing recycled dialogue from '70s britcoms as modern critique of a most serious variety. It would not do at all, sir.

And while we're at it, "One Less Bell To Answer" has more accumulated breakup-song-cred than everything else on this list put together. Shame on you.

LET ME HAVE ANOTHER LOOK AT V.I.P.!!

SWC was brilliantly subversive. Amy Sedaris is a comedic genius, and so is her brother David. I love the story David Sedaris tells of when Amy wore the SWC fat suit to a family get-together at their parents' house. Her father couldn't stop deriding and insulting Amy over what a fat disgusting pig she had become. I

H. Jon Benjamin is So Fucking Great

So, not only are they not willing to die for their roles, they're not even willing to go to prison. I'm twice as offended now.

I gotta say
You can have characters puffing away on cigarettes all the time for the sake of period realism, but if the cameras always cut away right before they would have exhaled a big cloud of smoke, you might as well be quoting 555 telephone numbers. It's insulting to the viewers that the actors aren't committed

The best thing about this book…
… once every woman who can read has read it, the only way to get them to shut up about it will be to have sex with them.

Bring it on, Eagles haters
The reason you don't like them is that they are not worthy of being liked by anyone. Also, they are not now, and never were, any good. Your perspective on this is not a subjective matter of individual taste, it is an objective reflection of universal truth.

I remember hearing Grodin on some talk show or other, maybe 10 years ago, talking very seriously about social, political and economic issues. He made little to no sense, but he seemed to take himself very, very seriously. He's a brilliant actor and comedian, but he's right on the brink of pulling a Tom

Whoa, Nellie. I graduated from HS in '80, so the '70s was the prime of my pre-adult life. It was as good a decade to grow up in as any other. I don't want to relive it, but I 'm grateful for having had the opportunity to live it once. As for popular culture in the '70s, there was as much variety then as there is

Oh, thank you, internet. Where I live, so few people even know what NPR is, much less what's to love or hate about it, I've been holding this in for years…

This comment deserves a round of applause.
