I've got it. Anything on Adult Swim that ends with that guy in the pink hat who says "Abso-lutely." I'm usually disgusted and feel unclean, but I still watch that nonsense.

I was actually coming here to say superhero stories, especially the movies, are in essence, stupid. You said it much better than me. Still see every last one of them.

I must correct one thing: Peggy the Foul-mouthed Chambermaid!

I choose to avoid your scam out of spite.

That is true. The Adam West Batman series was incredibly important to me as a kid. When I see it today (thanks to syndication and the DVDs), I can enjoy it for what it was, but when I read how grownups and parents were laughing along with the camp value back then, it's really just not that funny. Goofy and…

I am surprised that the Fabs didn't show up sooner. Mostly because I've read so many times a variation on "I'm so sick of Baby Boomer critics shoving the Beatles down my throat." That's what I would have thought based on the premise of this piece. As far as Beatles fans pressuring folks to listen to them, I can only…

I'd recommend it just to see how something so inane and ridiculous can become "classic television." As much as I loved it as a kid, it really is a pain as a grownup.

He had that strange little curl for quite a long time. I remember him referring to it as an isthmus (or maybe a peninsula).

Are you thinking of "Bermuda?" A koo-koo kind of place. A nutty, nutty kind of space. Bermuda.

Maine South is indeed in Park Ridge. Hillary Clinton was a member of its first graduating class. However, the movie was shot in the closed Maine North, which was in Mount Prospect. It's clearer in the Tribune story, which explains better how the script showed up in Park Ridge.

I commented at the end of 30 Rock that Tina and her writers often seemed to like to put those 30's-40's cadences into their characters.
"What's your game, friend?"

I'm probably not the first, nor will I be the last to make this comparison, but regardless of content, quality, or direction, DC is the Beatles, and Marvel is the Stones. It's much cooler to align oneself with the cool scruffy "bad boy" outsiders. Me, I'd wish for a much lighter, less serious touch from BvS. However,…

Composers: Make sure your song's sculpture doesn't even vaguely resemble a Marvin Gaye song sculpture.

Or on Gawker or Jezebel.

To quote her character, "You could go to jail for that."

Thank you Mae West.

Ally Sheedy. My goodness.

Frank Sinatra Jr. calls the old man "Sinatra" or "Frank" when discussing his career and achievements, but Dad or Father discussing family things.

Reminds me a little how Sean Lennon ran into their apartments at the Dakota and asked his dad "Were you in the Beatles?" after seeing Yellow Submarine at a friend's.
