That line caught me by surprise, too.  Rich seems sui generis and hardly matched since. 

You got me there.

I don't like Greg Garcia shows because they're about gently mocking people who are too stupid to live.  That's easy as hell. Seriously, what other critically praised comedy is about such unrepentant dum dums doing inexplicably stupid things?  Cloris Leachman is great, but the rest?  PASS. 

I made it about three paragraphs in and the tone seemed really off; the arguments made no sense; and it was weirdly hostile.  Scrolled up to see who wrote this and…of course.  No one seems to dislike television in a personal way as much as Phil does.

The reviewer has a problem with a rap battle that includes Cracked Out.  That's all you need to know about their perspective.

Joe Schmo was fantastic. 

They played the Hollywood Bowl this summer— it was ridiculous how much they killed.  They are in their goddamn 60s!  Kate still sounds amazing and the show — and I'm not a huge fan — was a blast.  (Not like Human League, which suuuucked.)

Lifetime does like two-three hours a day of this shit!  Even better are the ones with "before they were stars" — Farina intones that this special episode has the first television appearance of Matthew McConaughey, or some nonsense. 

I flove Unsolved Mysteries.  But I really love watching the Farina ones.  First, because they're the same stories from the 1980s, with the fantastic regional accents, inimitable clothing and hair, and dead-serious reenactments.  Plus!  Enough of the stories have been solved that it feels like getting to travel 20…

He pretty much always goes high status in improv, so it's surprising that he's managed low status so well and for so long.

The salad lady is Becky Thyre (married to Tony Millionaire?  Sister to Sarah?), and yeah, Tania was a chef in Leslie's House and she was also in Harvest Festival.

It's a mistake to underrate how much Sorkin appears to hate people who write things on the internet, or how much he feels it necessary to get back at people who ever criticized him somewhere.  For details, see here:  http://bitchkittie.blogspot…  Note: there's a character in S60 meant to represent a writer he had …

He doesn't write *any* women well.  Either they're his surrogates or they're fucking boy crazy.  They're not really in power; they still drop everything for either the boy they have a crush on or their male boss. Neurotic messes who can't manage a wet paper bag.  Ugh. 

that's some of the most bullshittiest bullshit I've ever read.  what, pray tell, is an "improv actor"?

His body is balletic — that's why he looks so great in the Matrix movies.  It's his voice that he can't control.  His voice is a bad actor.

This guy is great, plus Jessica Walter! 

If she's shot side-on, she looks like a praying mantis. 

Boots.

One of the top five funniest people in America.  Amazing, this guy! 

Mad Men's first episode is not as good as the rest of the show.  You can tick off all the "we're in the 60s!. things are different now!" moments.  In one episode they try to refer to the experiences of blacks, women, gays, and Jewish people; plus rampant smoking and adultery.  It's pretty ridiculously over the top in…
