Rabin, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!

I live in a noisy neighborhood, so I watch with the closed captioning on.

I always assumed that Barkley had tweaked the holodeck program or something.

Who's the advertising genius that decided that every show on TV this week was about KFC?

Yul is the patron saint of what's wrong with American show-biz. We want everybody to do the same schtick forever.

Kentucky Fried Movie.

It's a trick question. The perfect blend of 11 herbs and spices is 1 to 1.

I'm from Memphis, so I know I'm cool.

Sorry to double post, but to be clear, I mean imagine your are 6-years-old in 2010 watching the first season of The Simpsons.

20-Year-Old Pop Culture.
My earliest memories of watching cartoons start around 1964. Looney Tunes from WWII.

I grew up watching Looney Tunes cartoons, which were packed with 20-year-old pop culture references. (Buy War Bonds! The Little Man from the Draft Board. Call for Phillip Morris. Etc.) I didn't always know what they meant exactly, but the jokes came through.

Mister Burns answers the telephone by saying, "Ahoy-hoy."

The first series suffers from "The BBC Curse." The sound is bad. The laugh track is so loud it drowns out the actors and nobody holds for laughs, so every second joke is lost.

I was Class of 76, just like the kids in the movie. Memphis instead of Texas, but it was like watching my home movies.
