Brian Posehn is pretty awesome in both of his guest appearances too.

It's not a problem I have so much with Shadows, even though it's certainly the most amateurish of his films (obviously, really). But I can see it in both Faces and Husbands, as well as Love Streams and Minnie and Moskowitz (possibly my least favorite film of his), to varying degrees. I love his films immensely, and…

Joe: I'm pretty sure it was one of the singing guys.
Lisa: Joe, you saw me yell at him.
Joe: Yeah…damn.
Beth: Why do you care so much?
Joe: I don't know. For some reason I just really want to kick that tall singing guy's ass.

That episode is a classic—I think partially because the Mr. Show guys have a rhythm that fits in perfectly with the show as a whole. Favroite bits:

I don't think the issue was STDs. After all, the step mother had a son eventually-the guy we saw kill himself in season 1. I think the implication behind it being the father's fault is that he beat her so much she kept on getting miscarriages.

I don't think she'll necessarily be gay—that was just the stereotypes of the times coming out of Betty's mouth. I mean, she was just using the hammer to prevent her father from leaving again, not actually trying to use it to build anything or something. Feminist, sure, hippie, definitely, but lesbian, probably not.

PG - The guy who asked if she "killed another one" is Don's father—he's also the guy who went to the prostitute. Don's mother died in childbirth, and Don was raised first by his father and stepmother. Then his father died by being kicked in the face by a horse when Don was 10, and the stepmother took up with a man Don…

I didn't think it was a line as much as it was Don took advantage of the fact that he found someone he could actually tell that to—someone who not only doesn't know him as Don Draper, but thinks his name is something else entirely. No fear of it somehow coming back to bite him in the ass, and he just wanted to be able…

He wasn't lying. And I'm pretty sure she wanted to screw him, birthday or no.

Salley was 8 in 1962, so 16 in 1970.

I think he says "what do these Os stand for?" when looking at his accounts.

I red those early scenes as him imagining it, not flashing back or even knowing that it is true. We know he really, really hated his father and was never allowed to forget he was the son of a dead whore. He probably just let his imagination run wild with the specifics of how it happened.

I also vote for none before at all. Other than kissing, he had no idea what to do. The other guy putting his hand down Sal's pants seemed completely foreign to him.

Dick is more extreme than cock. They may both be members of the "seven dirty words," but AMC doesn't seem to pay attention to that, at least in terms of this show. Though curses are rare, Mad Men has had utterances of both "fuck" and "shit." And there's been nudity twice as well—season one where Harry Crane has sex…

DEFINITE SPOILER

I thought the polygraph was nothing but a fax machine with a buzzer attached to it.

Tons of comedies have borrowed from Newsradio in subsequent years. The whole "Darryl teaches Michael fake street words" reoccurrimg joke on The Office is a direct lift of "Gazzizza my dilsnoofus." A show this seminal and amazing constantly gets stolen from, even by the greats.

Sunnydale…
…is Santa Barbara, through and through. While it's true Napa Valley is in Northern California, there are also a large number of vineyards around Santa Barbara (specifically in Santa Ynez, which is about 30 minutes northeast of Santa Barbara). These are also the vineyards Paul Giamatti and Thomas Hadrn…

The sibilant Sess thing was one of his best moments, I agree, and "Boston" was one of the best episodes of season 5. It was one of the few where everybody seemed like they were properly in character and had the right dynamic. In my opinion the unfortunately got lost most of the time in season 5, even in the good…

And to add on that, I agree—"French Diplomacy" is one of my favorite season 4 episodes, though to be fair, I have A LOT of favorite season 4 episodes. In addition to it, I also love love love:
