He was also in that 13-and-done Sean Hayes vehicle, Sean Saves The World, playing essentially the same character from Ben And Kate. Stay strong!

I only watch his TV show. We don't podcast in my household.

I think Jenny has always been more than just a straight (wo)man for the group — besides the touching-herself-and-thinking-of-the-Shiva incident, there have been fairly frequent minor plots where she gets up to shenanigans, often involving her and Kevin being terrible parents. But it's criminal how little the show has…

For my test in IL, I was crazy nervous that I'd have to pull off a parallel park because the rumor was that the tester gave you one "unusual" situation to deal with. Luckily for me, mine was a simple hill park, easily conquered via the mnemonic "up, up and away." Score!

I retain some affection for this one, but it's hard not to snicker along with Jaguaro.org's classic assessment in 2002's "One Hundred Albums You Should Remove From Your Collection Immediately":

I was utterly stunned to see not just one but TWO space-based hour long shows premiere last season (one of which wasn't terrible) so it seems like the horrible reign of Mark Stern, hater of space shows, is finally over at Sci-Fi.

Jaime Murray is so awesome. I'm glad she got a role that gave her something to do besides be brain-meltingly gorgeous.

Kudos to the writers for setting up a cliffhanger that looked impossible to neatly sort out in the finale, then. I like the idea of Nolan becoming humanity's first FTL space traveler and flying away forever as a way to end the show.

The game was history, sure. (Although we still have to beat one more long-suffering team to win the pennant, so really we're only at the "10 years since the last time" mark.) But sweeping shots of Wrigleyville drunks shouting "Whooo!" and Casey from Bucktown's incoherent commentary, not so much.

Yeah, there is that. It arguably killed Futurama's first incarnation on FOX, too.

But at this point everybody's heard about the Parkinson's, so they would probably be solicitous and understanding instead of chasing him off with a shotgun.

My solution is to mute the ads and play music until the game comes back on.

To this day, 25 years after getting my license, I get super-proud of myself for managing a successful parallel park in one back-up. As a kid who grew up in the burbs — where parking lots are plentiful and pedestrians are hunted for sport — I'm overcoming a cultural handicap every time.

I wonder if that's why those really fat neckties came into style among pro athletes — the CTE messes up the fine motor control you need to properly knot a regular or skinny tie.

They actually aired Flash in iZombie's time slot and pushed iZombie out until Sunday night. Also, next week both shows are going to be on Sunday night, so keep an eye out. :)

Exactly — momentum is psychological. A football game is three hours of physical and mental stress, and psychological factors loom large. A long offensive drive not only makes the defense tired, it makes them feel overmatched. This is especially true when they can't stop the run, because they are actually being…

Warranted or not, I'm on football's side in its baseball-bullying, not least because the Cubs clinching this week caused my precious iZombie and The Muppets to be pre-empted to make room for 30-60 minutes of post-game blithering by the local news team.

Funny thing about that. I didn't discover EMH until the second season, so for me the theme was always a five-second anthem whose lyrics I rewrote in my head, to wit: "Geeee-neric hard rock sonnnnnng / For use in a car-toon. AVENGERS! ASSEMBLE!"

I think I know exactly what he means, though — whenever I'm running
late during my morning ablutions and I want to try to pick up the pace, I
imagine the theme to Knight Rider running through my
head. It rarely works, but I feel faster…
