"People, this is an issue that we as a town are strong enough to ignore. Let us give no more scrutiny to this bawdy house and its small clientele of loyal perverts."

I love how understatedly dark this episode is. The implication is that Lyle Lanley has caused the deaths of hundreds of people in three seperate towns, and has made a cheerful doodle of how the people of Springfield will all die horribly while he runs off with their money.

No, the world needs laughter!

Is anyone here an undercover reporter?

Listen I'm not going to lie to you: those are all superior episodes. But if you like to watch The Simpsons, I mean really watch it, you want El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer.

I always loved the gag where characters have conversations with their own brains, and that may be the best of them.

Is the bit where Apu's head (laughing maniacally) is super-imposed over the shots of Bart and Milhouse a reference to something? It feels like it is, but danged if I know it.

I think it would have done a lot better if it came out today. Sitcoms being serialized (in ways beyond who's-dating-who?) is a lot more accepted today, and it's premise of blue-collar people stealing from the ultra-rich would probably appeal to a lot more people post-2008.

Knights of Prosperity is streaming? SWEET!

"If I don't pay my taxes, the IRS pays them for me!"

"It's hell being Mel."

Ask any actor to describe a movie they were in, and you'll get the impression that their character was the unquestioned star of the piece, no matter what their actual role was.

I wanted to see 50 First Dates on this list, both because I really love it, and because it would be neat for a 50 Best list to begin or end with an entry that has 50 in its title.

My view is that Season 3 was Buffy's most consistently good season, while Seasons 2 and 5 have higher highs, but lower lows, and Season 4 is hard to place because it has a lackluster story arc but probably the best standalone episodes of the series.

See, for me, once Fringe's second episode had a baby grow into an adult man in a matter of minutes, generating all of its body mass out of NOTHING, it was clear we were dealing with science of the indistinguishable-from-magic variety, so bringing in actual magic wouldn't have felt out of place to me.

"A Red Arrow just means you can't turn left."

The TV Club 10 feature doesn't really do that, though. It's whole purpose is highlighting episodes the writer thinks are legitimately awesome and represent the show's best qualities.

To be fair, most things that happen in Caddyshack go completely unmentioned the rest of the movie. It's not big on tight plotting.

I still think Christmas Vacation is the best. I think part of that's the advantage of being set in one place rather than being a road movie, so gags and plot points can build on each other more.

This has actually gotten me really interested in seeing the movie, something horror movie trailers usually suck at. Definitely gave me some heebie-jeebies.
