I always loved Harry the Hat.

The whole sex addiction thing didn't really take off until around the time that episode aired.  What was once considered a ladies man is now considered a sex addict.  Plus I don't really believe in sex addiction as a psychological ailment no matter what all of these celebrities who get caught with their pants down

I know you're probably thinking of Back in Black, but For Those About To Rock was absolute tits!

I love his line when Diane tries to reason with him intellectually and he just sizes her up and says, "You're not wearing a bra, are ya?"  I know that actor became a successful TV director in his own right.

Yeah, I thought of that one too.  I guess we can chalk it up to the changing culture.  Early to mid-80s, Sam was considered a ladies man, but with the pop psychology, the threat of STDs, and the collective PC mentality, the writers decided Sam had a problem.

Another favorite - "Loneliness is a good thing to share with someone."  That one line is complete and utter brilliance.

Hello in there, Cliff. Tell me, what color is the sky in your world?

Veggie-Boy!

I miss Coach.

It got better as an ensemble piece with more episodes about the supporting characters.  Agreed Diane was more sharply and consistently drawn than Rebecca, who went from being an ambitious businesswoman to a pastiche of Mallory Keaton.  Hell, even Mallory went from being a simple teenage girl to a complete gibbering

Norm isn't really covered here so I'll bring in my two favorite Norm episodes.  The one where Norm pretends to be gay so he can get lucrative interior decorating jobs because nobody would hire him if he were straight - "Did I tell you that last night I programmed myself to dream about your space?"  The one where he

See, what happens is Jeff Goldblum nails the supporting actress from Tootsie and becomes a fly.  He travels to a distant island near Costa Rica to find a cure from geneticists, but he winds up being attacked by dinosaurs.  It's all very complicated and believable.  Oh, and then there are aliens and he tells Will Smith

I don't hate Johnny Test.  I like Ultimate Spiderman.  It's kind of like if Woody Allen was writing for Marvel or something.  I watch Phineas and Ferb and Kick Buttowski with my daughter, but nothing does it for me more than Adventure Tim, Regular Show, and Gumball.

I, for once, was curious as to what happens to Ahsoka Tano.  She was framed for murder in a big story-arc and then exonerated and decides to quit.

That was a wonderful piece of writing.  Very real and human and shows just how much Ebert influenced this new generation of critics.

I have them all (and this is strangely embarrassing) on 33, tape, CD, and mp3.  I actually have the originals with the posters and KISS Army order form still in the packaging.

Ace Frehley - "Frehley's Comet" from 1987 is the best.  "Second Sighting" is also criminally underrated.  "Trouble Walkin'" reunites him with Peter.  Good trio of records, and they actually sold fairly well for being on an indie label (Jonny Z's Megaforce) with barely any advertising. "Anomaly" was a surprise hit.

I think teachers are instructing at only one level, so you're going to have under-achievers and over-achievers - never anybody in a comfortable middle, and Brendon is definitely an under-achiever in that respect.

"Where's the hotel?!?"
"In Spanish, Lynch!"
"Donde est-a hotel where we were staying at?!?"

It didn't help the 'feeling fat' part.
