Couple of random things:

Best part of that gag (besides his Brooklynese "What the hell?!" when the gang breaks into the commissary): during The Big Pie Fight, you see him on a table in the background, furiously raising his arm in salute. In the fracas, the table obviously gets jostled and he loses his balance, eventually falling off in what I…

Having heard him earlier yesterday on "Fresh Air," I had to laugh at Mel doing the whole "look-what-I've-come-to" schtick vis-à-vis his interview: "I won Tony awards…an Oscar…now I'm doing RADIO?  This is what my career has come to?  And it's PUBLIC radio, so no one's even paying for it…"

I could watch the outtakes from YF over and over…and would PAY to see them.

Bart's observation about the utility of anything "lasting another 25 years" reminds me of something read  in the much-lamented (by me, at least) CREEM magazine.

and she looked great in a pair of Vicki Von Vicki jeans. 

I was thinking something similar.  Definitely a "throw-your-hands-up-and-say-YEAH" vibe to it.

The bit about the studio wanting Durbin to stick with the marriage due to image reminded me of a great story: Shirley Temple married Jack Agar in 1945, and, predictably, the marriage failed after a few years and one child.

Something I'd like explained: how many times was Universal "rescued" from bankruptcy?

Railroad track: good idea. My roommate has said that too: how in the hell would they get from Philly to Evansville, IN so quickly? I replied that I just assume (and figure the show expects us to) that when they say we're going to X, and then we cut to them being there, that actually several days or even weeks went…

Re: Miles' and Monroe's hometown - it appears their hometown is supposed to be Jasper, Indiana.

I thought the same thing: is Bjorn just being a dick because he can be, or was he just wanting respect to be shown?  Besides, to paraphrase Foghorn Leghorn, there's something kinda "eeewww" about a man who doesn't like to see a good throat-cutting.

Those tweets were hilarious.

And no one is going to bring up Phyllis' creepy closed-eyes-listening-to-50-Shades-of-Gray-rhythmic-chair-bouncing?

A better representation of what went on back then than, say, "Lothar of the Hill People."

Isn't Kevin making a somewhat specious argument vis-a-vis the whole "white loner" shooters versus "collective Muslim guilt" for terrorism when, for the most part, most acts of terrorism have been perpetrated by "groups" of Islamists/fundamentalists (even those who "acted alone — the Shoe and Underwear Bombers — were…

I haven't bothered to look this up, but wasn't he also one of Chris Peterson's beloved "fatasses" in the "construction crew" episode of "Get a Life"?

and as Dangerfield's love interest/English professor in "Back to School," she did a VERY SIMILAR "finger-snap-with-hooded-eyes-trying-to-be-hip" after throwing her plastic cup in Anders' face.

Ansari's comment about the guy at the airport not striking up a conversation because he had his nose buried in GOT on his laptop or whatever reminded me an old "Zippy the Pinhead" strip from the 1980's, I think: Zippy's wearing one of those "new" Walkman devices the kids are all crazy about, and says, while ignoring a…

Eden sold that cheerleading bit eh?  Damn…
