Ya, Labine was in Breaker High—he and Ryan Gosling were the stoner/class clown duo.

SPOILERS

Actually, she mentions in the pilot that she's into the organic movement, and that she won't let her family drink out of plastic bottles. A doctor tries to give her hormones and she gets preachy about how she wants to be all natural and such.

He was uncomfortably good on that Veronica Mars episode where he may or may not have been assaulting teenage girls.

Didn't Goldsmith leave Trek on bad terms because he thought a film or tv score should, you know, contribute to the piece whereas the producers literally wanted glorified muzak?

"I think Dorn and Stewart have the best chemistry (show and movies) of all the performers."

Yeah, but the problem with time travel remains the same as it did in Generations. If Picard could leave the Nexus for ANYWHERE, why go back to only a few moments before you left? Why not go back months, to systematically prevent Soran from causing all that suffering?

Yeah, I'm eagerly anticipating the arrival of a helicopter-bound team of crazed Norwegian scientists shooting wildly at a sled-dog.

Pepper always gets her story, but for some reason, she does not always get her man!

I am killing myself laughing at the people who think Martha was a terrible actor and Rose was a good companion.

I dunno, by the time Kira was teaching the Cardassians how to lead their own resistance cells (spoilers!), I thought she had some real mettle to her. Plus, there was that serial killer episode (that strangely mirrors the X-Files episode Unruhe) that was a tour de force for Visitor.

I think these kinds of questions always go back to that episode where Troi loses her empathic abilities. She gets pretty unhinged and is all, "How will I be any good at my job!?" and Picard (rightfully) tells her that not every ship's counselor is part-Betazoid and that the vast majority of them get along just fine

The only 30 Rock song I care about is…
Muffin Top.

There's something about the way that they play the Jack Webber piece, though, that makes it work for me. If it was just the propaganda films, it wouldn't be as funny. But the retrospective angle when Bob says something to the effect of, "I was wrong when I said all five-year-olds are possessed by an evil communist

Good Grief episode of Arrested Development.

Mustmayostardayonnaise, actually.

Sometimes I feel…
I spread my life too thin.
And I miss precious moments as this ol' Earth does spin.

…was also consistently funny.

Party Down never had the same emotional impact, though. Casey and Henry were a pretty stereotypical will-they-won't-they tv-relationship, and every other character on the show was played for laughs instead of drama. Louie is really really funny, and a huge part of that comes from its honesty. And honesty like that

To be fair, the song in the Satan sketch (sorry, scene) isn't anywhere near as challenging as "I'm the hated milk machine" or "Talkin' bout the weather report."
