I definitely agree this should be an A+, and screw anyone complaining. This is Seinfeld for chrissakes.

The ending of Parking Garage is certainly amazing, but I doubt it was a serendipitous filming accident. Cars rarely run or are started when shooting—the noise is just so loud it makes it impossible to edit later, and all recorded sound for those shots becomes useless. Instead, Michael Richards was probably miming the

Really, there's no way any episode from seasons 3-10 qualifies as the series' worst. I can't hazard a guess as to the actual episode in question, but the series worst almost certainly comes somewhere in seasons 13-present.

I completely agree Chicago deep dish is not pizza and is closer in spirit to a pastry than to actual pizza. So is Chicago thin crust just a pale imitation of New York-style?

Good Grief is my favorite Arrested Development as well.

Yeah, I always noticed that he did put that cup SO far away from himself, but then the utter shock and annoyance in "Hey, that's my cup!" made me think it wasn't intentional after all. As you say, you can never tell with Bill.

"Excuse me, how many verses does this song have?"
"Thirty!"
"And are any of them about Ted?"
"Oh, I wish."
Jack walks out.
"Hey, wait, I've got verse 8 coming up!"

"Chuckles Bites the Dust" was the first thing I thought of as well.

Wait, what was the other thing hosted on freakzilla.com? Was it strange pictures of cats? Because if you go to freakzilla.com now, it's a fan made page with fake instructions for copier assisted suicide and strange pictures of cats.

Drake Sather also appears twice as Jimmy's lawyer, almost but not quite acting like Norm McDonald.

Is it deliberate? Bill seems genuinely annoyed at Dave for almost drinking from his cup.

Super Karate Monkey Death Car: You could just buy the individual seasons (which is what I have). The packaging is fine there.

Downfall
Does this mean a return of Downfall clips? Or did that already happen?

It wasn't just Eames chairs (or even Herman Miller chairs) they were sitting on-there were all sorts of chairs there. And believe me, if I could afford them, I would own a ton of them. I've had a fake Eames lounge chair for a number of years now that I inherited from my grandfather, but it's no where near as nice as

For whatever reason, I guess he was referring to Beck even before I watched the clip at all. It just seemed obvious, for some reason, that if you're talking about strangely prescient depictions of people in the current political landscape, if you're not referring to a depiction of Sarah Palin, you're referring to one

I agree with Cyborg Janitor. I love the way history and culture are interwoven into Mad Men, but they're always toeing a line, on the other side of which is masturbatory cultural name-dropping. Having the characters all muse of this new British sound or whatever probably would have felt mighty goofy. It needs to come

The office is a bit cramped, but god is it sexy. I was drooling over pretty much every piece of furniture. I would kill for those chairs everyone was sitting on in Don's presentation to Janzten.

Yeah, that was an absurdly sweated up back—the make-up department went kind of overboard there. Really, the whole scene up until the slapping was kind of goofy. Her back, the "this is TV"-ness of her having her bra on during sex, the way she then pretty much acknowledges that conciet by saying "I'm going to take my

I dunno, the bikini was pretty racy right from the start, this is a picture wikipedia has of the original 1946 version: http://upload.wikimedia.org… Obviously the crotch has gotten smaller over the year, but the point is the whole fight between two-pieces and bikinis was 18 years old by the time frame of this episode.

Actually, apparently he's conspicuously absent from the "A Star is Burns" commentary. And he lambasted James L. Brooks in the press for coming up with the crossover, which created tension between Groening on one side and Brooks, Al Jean and Mike Reiss on the other.
