This was one of the major problems I had with Parks and Rec. In way too many episodes, each of the subplots could have been filmed/taped days, weeks, or even months apart with no contact from other characters. As you observed, this show suffers the same issue at times.

Thanks, Arlo. I can't believe it took this far into the comments for the Stately Wayne Manor observation. Kids these days, huh.

And, as conservative as it is, that high-waisted skirt was aces in my book.

G-d Bless her.

It's a kids' show.

All these comments make me go "Weeee!"

Still, though: "Were they already a big sensation?" Yeah, back then, guitar bands from Liverpool regularly toured Australia.

If I swung that way, it would have to be Demetrius "Ebony and" Ivory.

It's funny coming from a big fan of Craig Ferguson's years, but this guy is just too shouty for me.

Bob Balaban is awesome in this movie.

I fully believed that she was a Russian actress hired in the glasnost spirit.

Betcha it has something to do with Depp's band Hollywood Vampires. Macca's on their album.

I prefer my robots to be gay skeletons.

Before I start going through these entries, anyone else remember his Showtime special "Alone In Las Vegas?" Those 60 minutes or so, for better or worse, helped define how I saw the world and reacted to it. This news makes me very sad. He was a comedic hero and a darned interest fellow. Garry: "So you'd go out with…

If this actually hits theaters: In the way they hand out glasses if it's a 3D movie, the ushers will just hand you weed.

Careful, Icarus.

What about the comments when someone we don't care about dies? Most of the comments for Frank Sinatra Jr. were sarcastic and "funny." Most of the comments for Beatles producer George Martin were plays on the similarity of his name to the guy who writes the books. Contrast that to the rending of garments and pounding…

Rest peacefully, sir. The end of a difficult life for a man who one would think would have had it pretty easy. Strange to think that a man who dies at 72 would be survived by his mother. Condolences to Big Nancy and the family.

It's very cool when Macca dusts off Mull of Kintyre in concert these days. He always invites local pipers to play.

Perhaps your local library has this book, released in January.
