SPOILERS

No! Bah BAH bah, bah bah BAH bah! Good EVEning, Ladies and GENTlemen! These women are LADies, these men are GENTle. And tonight they're here to see…Bill McNeil!

Definitely the hamburgler. And no, he certainly was not real. Though he does make a brief appearance in one of Dave's drawings in "Security Door."

I've said it before, but I'm with Yoga Fire. I mean, like Gorg I think there are some good episodes (though also as aforementioned I hate "Noise")—specifically "Bill Moves On," "Lucky Burger," "Apartment," "Flowers for Matthew," "Hair," "Boston" and the first Johnny Johnson arc, but they are at best GOOD episodes, in

I dunno, I enjoy watching tearjerker episodes, even if they're sad. In addition to thinking "Bill Moves On" is the best episode of season 5 (and enjoying "Daydream" quite a bit, Howie or no Howie), in Futurama I count among my favorite episodes "Leela's Homeworld," "Luck of the Fryish" and especially "Jurassic Bark,"

What;s crazy is mine is from the exact same tour as Keith. Sleater-Kinney were playing at my college freshman year. I didn't know them at that point, and didn't go to the show. Sophomore year I get really into Sleater-Kinney, and start regretting hard that I missed that show. Then I find out the opening act was The

Great episode, guest written by the estimable Jane Espenson, also writer of one of the best episodes of season 1 (Rm w/a vu).Good ol' Jane Espenson.

Walt, like Andrea, is there for four episodes. "Monster Rancher," "420," "Jackass Junior High" and "Sinking Ship."

I thought Joe was the notary. Which is why Matthew ended up doing Bill's laundry for a year in "Complaint Box," and Matthew ad to pay Joe the notary fee. Is there some episode I don't remember where Matthew is a notary?

Anonymous—yeah, colloquially it's called looping, officially it's called ADR (which stands for Automated Dialog Replacement), and pretty much every TV episode and movie since the invention of film sound has used it. Whether it's because you're shooting an exterior and there's constant noise in the background of a

Eh, I guess it says something about Newsradio but I don't mind either Andrea or Walt. Max, on the other hand….

"Not aliens Joe."
"Oh. You're just being paranoid."

And yet somehow that job is his passion. I said it in a comment above, but I really enjoy Dentist Matthew. It's up there among my favorite Matthew bits, along with Matthew's version of events in "Catherine Moves On" and his song about Ted in "Copy Machine."

Automatic Jack: that's from "Jackass Junior High," as Anonymous37 mentioned. He's absolutely fantastic in it.

Starz—Idiotking is joking. You can tell by the fact that the spoiler never ever happens.

It's a great line, made all the better though by the slow burn Bill has when reading the story about the mental patient. That sory reading I think is my favorite Bill line of the episode—hell, it's my favorite moment of the episode, and one of my favorite Newsradio bits of any episode.

I haven't seen it in 20 years, but I remember liking Moonstruck as a kid.

Huh. And all this time I never knew…

They may have made every season finale be a potential series finale (save Grave), but Joss's perfect world plan YEARS before "The Gift" was written was for the show to end after Season 5, after the events portrayed in "The Gift." So that's the difference. He went back on that plan well before season 5 ended up

Yeah, I agree completely. But it can be hard to end something you put so much work and care into, you know? Hell, that seems to be a problem with all serialized art/culture objects. Charles Shultz spent 50 years writing Peanuts—it's amazing that 30 of those year were brilliant, but the following 20 years of mediocrity
