Favorite stories don't end…

I was surprised when Charlie had detailed opinions on Facebook and Twitter. Seemed completely out of character.

I thought it was ridiculous/embarrassing for Jim to "dress up" as a black basketball player by throwing a jersey on over his work clothes.

Agreed. The reaction to Wesley's abduction of Conner was ridiculously overwrought, especially. He had absolutely no intention of delivering him to Holtz or banishing him to a hell dimension, but he seemed to get and accept the blame for those outcomes.

Treme, Game of Thrones, Bored to Death. All incredible.

He's an anti-Western-medicine, vitamins-and-macrobiotics fruitcake. His opinions on the biological sciences are entirely unreliable.

"two-flusher"… Never even occurred to me you could flush twice.

Not necessarily cake, but something sweet, definitely. And you offer people coffee, even if you don't drink it yourself. This is basic stuff.

I'm hoping somebody can explain the line, "Hey, this isn't a barrel! It's just a cask!"

No reason to assume Barnabas is dead
He was off-screen for several minutes of story time before the bomb went off. Why didn't Clarice just shoot him in the head? Reminded me of Dr. Evil: "I'm going to leave them alone and not actually witness them dying, I'm just gonna assume it all went to plan. What? "

I like the Jon Stewart Daily Show, but I also liked the Craig Kilborn Daily Show and I don't understand why it's so often slighted. It seems like people allow their personal feelings towards Kilborn affect their judgment of what was actually a pretty solid comedy show (e.g., recall that Stephen Colbert was on for two

Here's a fun game: what subset of the characters could conceivably sustain a watchable show? What subset of the characters could sustain a show that NBC would put on the air anyway? Which characters could be spun off into a new show that would be surprisingly good?

In the Mr. Show book, Bob and David both say "The Biggest Failure…" is one of their least favorite episodes. The whole cast seems to have a lot of affection for "Jeepers Creepers" though, mostly because they thought it was a blast to shoot.

Given NBC's lineup…
There's no way they're letting The Office end if they can keep any significant portion of the cast and crew. I'd guess they'd have to lose Michael AND Jim AND Pam before they'd even consider pulling the plug… They'd have a much harder time recasting the "normal"/audience surrogate characters than

I'll pile on with the Jeepers Creepers hate. I'm really surprised to see it getting so much love. I've always thought the bit in the following framing sketch, where Jill Talley (I think) says she doesn't think it's funny and David just tells her to shut up, may have been a signal that they didn't like how it came out

I thought the same thing. I remember friends telling me about Tenacious D around '99, but I don't think Jack Black entered the mainstream consciousness until High Fidelity came out. Then he had starring roles in Saving Silverman and Shallow Hal and became a "name." In '96 he was just another alt-comedy scenester.

KGBeast.

My take on that scene is that Sonny was drunk and trying to get laid. He was a bit flustered that the guy he rescued out of the attic (I agree with bigwhale, why shouldn't we trust that guy's recall?) was cockblocking him.

"A MythTV" is a possibly misleading typo. MythTV is open-source DVR software. So, if you have a PC with an HD-capable graphics card (for output) and an HD tuner card (for input), you could do what you want, using MythTV.
