If you can endure James Lipton, Gandolfini did Inside the Actor's Studio awhile back.

I love him in The Mexican too! A tightrope walk of a role. Could have been unconvincing if he played it too tentatively, embarrassing if he played it too broad. It was perfect.

The second thing I thought upon reading about Gandolfini yesterday—the first being, "Shit, Gandolfini died!"—was "John Goodman better be taking care of himself, dammit."

I somehow swallowed the knife!

Also, I'm beginning to think there isn't even really a Pawnee. They're pulling the wool over our eyes!

Mona Lisa leaving work because her "tummy hurt."

@avclub-5dedb42b34e50082065a783265ce28a8:disqus Yeah, that's why I usually hate these "somebody here is pregnant!" plotlines. It doesn't make sense to do that private thing at a public gathering.

I think it's just the music thing. Every time I see a sketch is missing, I can come up with a song that was in there, even if it was just a throwaway 2-second thing.

I expected that they were going to say Andy couldn't be the Jerry because he had April on his side. You kind of need her to be Queen Bee of the tormentors.

Phoebe actually lived with her grandmother for the first five seasons. If the grandmother owned the apartment, or if she left Phoebe any money, she could have been doing OK enough to keep that place.

That's the thing, yeah; it's such a perfect round thing.

It's a really interesting comparison, but I'm going to throw a few things out there. I haven't seen Temptation, but I have read several descriptions of the final scene, which include the fact that the character seems "crippled" by her disease (like, literally limping? I don't know) and is all scraggly and generally…

@avclub-e53fc2424af041d07a7eef5cd8773505:disqus Do you mean Jon Cryer?

(They were Swiss.)

I remember the nudity in that scene, but the article is making it sound like there was nudity in the first scene, which I do not remember.

I'm a bitch and I deserve love.

I know what you mean. I'm always taking stock of people at concerts, like "You are an actual fan of the band. You were dragged here by your boyfriend. And you just wandered in for a beer." I will really only shell out money to see artists I really love, so it's depressing to turn away from the stage for a minute and…

Amazon Prime streaming always seems to shut down my browser—I can't do anything else while I watch. I don't have that problem with Netflix.

She really does seem to have all the credentials, doesn't she? And even my parents know who she is because she was on Friends.
