Starring Mathew Perry.
Actually I remember that show most for introducing me to the word hell.

I don't think papa Ginsburg was trying to control his son, it was a sign of his pride and desire for him to have success (based on the fact that what he was doing was the traditional blessing a parent gives their child).

Oh, your not wrong, it actually is shown for Easter (based on the timing), but since that always falls out around the same time as Passover it works for both.

I was going to mention Hebrew Hammer too, and of course neither is just a Hanuka movie (they include a lot of Christmas stuff too).

Being Jewish, as a kid I always thought if it as being shown for Passover more than for Easter.

I think that he was so much of a background character through the first season, with only the one scene being in the forefront when he has his "you can't fire me, I quit" moment, that no one would recognize tat it is the same actor besides those who know better already.

Well, there is more to it than just this, but the main things are his fascination with dragons, the different colored eyes, and the fact that Tywin's last words are "Your no son of mine".  Now of course they don't mean anything for sure, but that's my take.

Beric's look itself should be interesting to see since by that point he's like a walking scar.

I thought it was supposed to be the other way around, that Tyrion was the one who was actually Aerys son.

And that he had a short lived sitom called "President Clown".

Well, before the season ends we have "I Love Lisa", where he truly becomes Ralph Wiggum.

Butter's horrified reactions each time was also great.

Did he have the shaved patches on the sides of his head before, because I don't recall that, and it seems like it fits with how each appearance he gets more and more feral looking.

How about learning Jive from Airplane!

a real submarine chaser

Also I believe he said his grandmother would call them "beeyuteefuhl".

"What the hell are you worried about? This is 1874, you'll be able to sue her."
That there actually was a lawsuit makes the whole thing even better.

You seem a bit confused in that it is the family name that is Ashkenzi which is common in the Sephardic community as Yaron explained, but it is not the name his parents gave him (the actors first name is Lior).

lousy Smarch

This is why I've really enjoyed the "Very Special Episode" columns that were about older TV shows and wish they did more from the early era of TV to introduce those shows to a new audience (I'm still waiting for one on the court martial episode of Bilko).
