Some sitcoms
Roseanne - There were some great eps that really captured the day-to-day life of a lower middle-class family. There's a season 1 episode where they all go bowling the comes to mind. And then later in the series when Roseanne gets a hired for a great job, but then loses it when they learn she doesn't

Btw, it's not on DVD yet, but I believe every episode is on youtube.

Family Ties was more abstract, but Maude got there first. It was a two-part episode shot from the perspective of Maude's psychiatrist. If memory serves, I believe Maude was the only character we saw, though we heard the off-screen voice of the shrink. I'm pretty sure it was titled "Maude and the Psychiatrist."

pretty please?
Will someone please find out why two of the show's producers have the same names as Blossom's brothers? It freaks me out to think they might be real.

What the hell, if you can, i can…
"We get through our lives by believing the illusion that we can trust our brains."

I remember Joey Lawrence showing up on Larroquette and having this exchange with Alison LaPlaca where she references the number of failed series and pilots she's done, ending with "People just don't get me."

oh thank God
I was afraid youwere going to include Brian and Stewie trapped in a bank vault. It could have been an interesting episode, but instead was just…

I mean, Heil Honey.

It was no Heli Honey, I'm Home, that's for dang sure.

I so want to love the Tonys
"It's not like someone's going to stumble across this and wonder what the hell it is and you can somehow fool them into watching. "

"Similarly, tossing Jones out there to sing 'Send in the Clowns' in a weird, talk-singy manner made A Little Night Music seem deathly dull (even IF that's the most famous song in the Sondheim catalog) and made it seem all the more bizarre when Jones won her award later. "

She's been a successful stand-up comedian for close to four decades. That's not "fairly successful." That's fucking amazing.

Gilda
Gilda is about nine tenths perfect, but I just loathe the ending. I assume it was forced onto the film by the studio and/or production code. It happened a lot and I can usually accept the unearned endings in noir films, but this one really pissed me off.

Did I miss it?
Did someone get cut?

it's not like it was planned
Did they explain that it only happened because Roger tricked Stan?

Cache was my gateway, followed by the American (or "correct") Funny Games. I'm still so disturbed by it that I can't decide if the original is something I want to subject myself to. But as a movie geek… worth it? Anyone?

the real question
Why was Tom Selleck being interviewed by the MTV?

It's a no-brainer
Can't they just assemble the prequel with clips from "Square Pegs" and "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"?

They just want to be able to wear couture dresses under their choir robes.

The gay Jesus play has ALWAYS gets death threats.
