Might I suggest Uma Thurman in Dangerous Liaisons.  Formidable.

That gal, Joyce Howser or some such?  Her breasts are indeed amazing.

Um, but since the CW was fought over, you know, slavery, that's kinda the big point of using the CW as a dividing line in time.

She couldn't wait to get that meaty part in her mouth.

You know…..jackin it.

Sorry, my hands are kinda busy right now.

What Girard said.  Doubly so.

I was a yankee teaching at Auburn during the heydey of George Bush the Younger.  A fellow liberal teacher friend of mine was protesting the impending conflict with Iraq around 2002-2003, whilst standing on Toomer's Corner.  A local enthusiast of football and war came up to him and argued for invasion with the

I've read (or perhaps heard commentaries) that the genesis of the idea of Party Down came after Rob Thomas, Rudd, et al. were watching discussing The Office (UK).

I'll be that guy and say, "Ahem, The Wire."

Your whole argument falls apart, Joe, in assuming that the grades serve some additional function to enlighten a reader. If said reader can't figure out the writer's thoughts about the quality of the episode by, you know, actually reading the review, then who gives a shit what that reader thinks? If the reviewer is

Then there's this piece of craptastic writing:
