Everytime I see Cranford on the list
I think I missed a mini-series about john Crawford.

You had a boyfriend when you were 13? That's adorable. What was his name?
Roman. Let's just say I spent a lot of time o the set of Chinatow.

Also…
Lancelot Link changed chimps constantly. but he was a secret agent, so that could have been a strategic decision.

The soap opera exception
I'm sure you had to eliminate soap operas as a rule, but Christina Crawford went on a temporary medical leave on "The Secret Storm," she was temporarily replaced by her mother Joan, who was 35 years older than her character.

Top Ten my ass
Graham Chase is hands down the hottest dad in TV history.

Late to the game here
but this was an exceptionally well-written piece.

urban youth centers
I think these only existed in movies where someone was trying to tear them down.

Awesome
I was so afraid you were going to snark all over my memories. You are The Hater after all.

cruising
I've read the novel and it didn't really strike me as homophobic. Just found it to be a surprisingly decent crime thriller.

"live down to his reputation"
Well done!

Commentary
Did you actually listen to the commentary track?

"When I was profiled…"
I was wondering what we were going to use for the ANTM drinking game, now that we won't be able to count the number of times Dominique refers to Dominique in the third Dominique.

Dude, Titus fucking ruled.

The teen angel sitcom TheQ is referring to was called Second Chance, a show whose name was changed to Boys Will Be Boys. It starred Matthew Perry and I swear Richard Greico, but only Perry is mentioned on imdb. IIRC, the angel aspect was dropped, hence the name change.

The twins in Double Trouble were also in Grease 2.

The winners so far:

I still don't quite believe
that the musical is going to happen.

I'm pretty sure it was an Inventory from way back. It was followed (or preceded) by a list of bad scenes in otherwise good movies.

The best part of Dinosaurs was the Mr. Wizard parody, where his experiments would inadvertantly kill a kid every week, inspiring the catch phrase, "We need another Jimmy!"

I assumed he used some sort of re-bigulator.
