"Look, you can't condone murder under any circumstances, at least that's the way I see it."

Yeah, and Levy was also great as the incompetent doctor character in "The Days of the Week"; one of my favorite lines in the series is where his terminally ill patient who wants to marry before his death is at the wedding, walking down the aisle, visibly not feeling well, and Levy's character looks at his watch, sighs…

Yeah, that first episode is more or less an exercise in being subtlely unsubtle as a piece of soap opera satire.

I haven't watched much SCTV, but I've watched all of "The Days of the Week" on YouTube and it's pretty much my favorite thing ever.  The deliberately soap opera-esque utter lack of subtlety in the acting and terribly-written scripts replete with expository dialogue is hilarious, and there's so many quotable moments…

Don't you mean "I think it's sad how pretty OK meeting each other (as two Lemongrabs) made them?"

I thought it improved upon a second viewing, if it makes any difference, but yeah, this was probably the weakest episode I've seen in quite a while.

Yeah, I hadn't thought of it that way really, but I still feel like if there was any theme it was made pretty much incoherent by the aimless randomness of the whole episode. Also, isn't PB already having to deal with treating her "children" like science experiments with all the crap she has to put up with regarding…

That moment for some reason reminded me more of Tool's creepy music video for "Sober", except, of course in cartoon form. http://www.youtube.com/watc…

See, that's where I feel this episode failed.  After a second watch, I've realized that there's some pretty hilarious bits in this episode, and the supreme weirdness of the episode was interesting, and something that I like to see this show.  But unlike an episode like, say, "King Worm" which was pretty much an…

Yeah, I could do without the Lemongrabs for quite a while after what I saw of them in this episode So, to fit with the theme of this thread:  "ONE SEASON DUNGEON!!!!!!!!!!!"

"No no.  You do not understand.  It is not us for whom they starve, but THEM for whom they starve."  The utter lack of sense that that made was brilliant. 
Also, is it weird that I want to make the "piercing song" of Plop-Top into my ring tone?
Edit: Oh, and of course: "What the thing is up with this guy?"

FIX THE DOOR?!??!?!?  Pretty much all of Jake's reactions to everything this episode were hilarious (see his "Nope," followed by frantically shoving himself and Finn into an air vent after encountering Peeling-Face Lemongrab).

Think about how incredibly disappointing it would be if Pendleton Ward et. al. were to come forward and explain that they meant this episode as a metaphor for their heretofore unexhibited racially-based hatred towards welfare.

King Worm was much funnier than this episode though (in my opinion).

@avclub-518f6fc78175d18f8c6e1da9e20e597c:disqus Why would a Catholic school have a problem with someone reading Flannery O'Connor in the first place?  She's pretty much the most proud-of-being-Catholic author that I can think of, even if none of her stories that I've read have heavy-handed black-and-white religious…

Eh, you were a kid.  I still liked plenty of the shittier alt-rock of my teen years (Three Days Grace, Nickelback, Disturbed), but whatever, I enjoyed listening to it back then, and it was part of what helped me to break out of listening to something other than what my parents were listening to, and even though my…

Ha, when I'm home from college my family and I sometimes play "the classic rock game", with the local rock station and the disappointingly tiny catologue of songs that they tend to play.  Your musical education for your kids is pretty awesome.

Fuck yes on Aeroplane.

I mean, yeah, a 12 year old classic rock snob is really annoying and close-minded.  I would know because I used to be one.  So yeah, people should let their kids listen to what they want.  But if a kid grows up listening to the shit designed to appeal to teens, which most kids will, I don't think it's a bad idea to…
