I seriously used to love the short critical sentences that used to pop up in capsule movie reviews when the NY TImes had a weekly tv section. So many great terse one sentence descriptions of late night movies. According to my dad sometime back there used to be a guy whose job was to specifically supply those one…

Are they trying to get Stalker to notice them??? God why can't the critics just think of poor Stalker's feelings—Stalker has feelings too you know!!! Maybe Stalker just doesn't have time to notice the critics…maybe Stalker just not into critics in that way…maybe Stalker just need restraining order from critics.

ditto on The Bridge finale. This season's been a thing of beauty in watching all the pieces snap into place…especially given how No Country For Old Men-y it started out as. (I don't mean that as a knock—but one of the things I liked a great deal was how it made Natalie slightly more human, and slightly less mechanical…

but she'll be able to buy a giant fucking house if Stalker ends up a hit. Don't you want Maggie to be able to live in the style that befits her glamourousness???

There's no way Stalker was gonna be the first casualty of the new season. Its CBS—the only way they yank a new show off the air quickly is if it loses more than half of its lead-in's audience like last year's "We Are Men" or that "How To Be A Gentleman" show—otherwise the show generally sits there in the schedule…

he's actually Clay Aiken—whom to my discovery reading the NY Times magazine the other day is currently campaigning for an open congressional seat for a North Carolina district. Apparently the no. 1 thing he keeps getting told is that he's a lot older than people thought he was. (to which he keeps responding—yeah well…

I said Churchill just like the guy did. I was actually fairly surprised that it wasn't correct and that the answer turned out to be Hitler. My mom didn't even guess Hitler either, so I guess the writers there did their job quite effectively, as she's normally very savvy at getting these "not necessarily the obvious…

yeah I didn't get how she could possibly think that could be the answer either unless she totally misunderstood the question in the first place.

Dharma and Greg—the majority of that show's first season was about the two leads getting to know each other since they got married more or less after falling head over heels for each other at first sight. I'm not saying it was a perfect example but it was very much a sitcom built on the two of them getting to know…

its weird how much more authority he carries with a beard isn't it? instead of being a likable goofball or a douche villain he becomes a don't mess with me kind of guy.

very underrated movie—you know its also I believe the only movie that ever got made that was written by Glen and Les Charles—aka the creators of Cheers??? Its actually the reason I went to see it in theaters the weekend it came out.

THAT's what that was!!!!!!
I was trying to remember what that thing was this morning—the small furry thing that kept attacking Bush—and couldn't for the life of me remember what it was—I knew it wasn't an alien, I knew it wasn't a small dog—I couldn't remember what the heck it was so thank you!

Demi Moore. Once a huge fucking star—and something along the lines of needing a final cash in could explain her coming back out of self imposed retirement to play the villain in the Charlie's Angels sequel (after which she went promptly back into self imposed retirement)

Its funny how this and Manhattan Love Story have ALREADY been lumped together in my mind as one show and yet here I am reading about them both (and commenting on them both) and two individual shows in the same hour so I guess now I have no choice but to separate them in my mind.

Christela's a very good bet. (I feel like Fox is gonna give Mulaney at least thru January given their hype for it, even if it completely tanks…otherwise I'd say that was a good bet as well)

an updated version of Scott Baio when the original is still floating around out there??? Now I'm sad.

I know what you're referring to—I can't think of the name off the top of my head but it was run as part of a package deal alongside that Bill Bellamy is a former movie star who goes back to teaching at his high school sitcom that had Jon Lovitz and Tim Meadows in its cast as well. (apparently it was just called "The…

learnt that fairly early on as the biggest junior high school fan of Christopher Walken (way back before he became America's favorite oddball—seriously I would name him as the greatest actor to other people in my class and all I'd get was blank looks—he wasn't nearly as trendy in the early to mid 90's then despite…

That's My Bush was a lot funnier then it often got credit for being—but it was also somehow the very thing it was often mocking. (ie—the hackneyed network sitcom) so I think a lot of people were turned off by that as well. (and the fact that it looked completely out of place on Comedy Central probably didn't…

Its funny to think that endless talking could replace the laugh track on a sitcom because isn't that what the "Confessions" on a reality show are basically in place of?
Also despite the fact that every time I've seen an ad for this I think to myself—why is this a thing on tv? I guess i'll give it a go in hopes that it…
