Does anyone else find Broadway legend Patti LuPone incredibly annoying?  Just asking.

It makes me said to see Tony Shalhoub in this thing.

Ah, it's wondrous and amazing how we can all have such disparate opinions. Like how many people love the porn star sketches, but I can't stand them.

I like the idea of Karen Sisco following me around, but I'd go with Carla Gugino's version from the short lived TV show. Ah, who am I kidding? I think I'd just rather follow Carla Gugino around.

I'd like to go old school here and pick Matt Dillon. No, not the actor, but James Arness' character from Gunsmoke. He's not gonna go after every little thing you do. Getting a little rowdy in the local saloon on a Saturday night isn't gonna bother him. But if you truly break the law or are responsible for any…

Which will be cancelled first: Mom or Dads?

Especially given that Lorre's big shows, whatever you think of them, have pretty inventive and memorable names. (The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, if I must actually mention them.)

Hey, I think by trying to be the quiet, inoffensive voice of reason, I just become a very uninteresting character.

Just to respond to some people who are trying to defend the characters mentioned. This article is not saying they're bad characters or even necessarily terribly boring. Just that the other characters on the show are much more interesting.

So, does no one else think it may not have been a complete coincidence that Clancy Brown, a guy who was in Highlander, got his head cut off? Where'd all you geeks and nerds go?

Admittedly, it's not an award winner, but the actors are likeable enough, and they could do something interesting with the apocalypse stuff. Hard to tell with one episode, really.

That was kind of a funny thing to say. I suppose she was just freaked out and didn't know what else to say.

They do make for an interested pair, size wise. He's gotta be a foot taller then her.

Funny enough for a second viewing, definitely. But it does continue along with one of my annoyances with almost every cop show. The detectives are either too young to be in that position or the youngest they can be. You usually need experience to get that job. But every cop show and movies does it because they want…

Yeah, but whatever the case, "Go fuck yourself" is much funnier.

James Arness has got to be the largest leading man on a TV series. The guy's like a mountain. Arness and The Rifleman's Chuck Conners could beat the crap out of pretty much any TV star these days.

I've been watching it on and off on the Encore Western channel. They show the old, shorter black and white ones (repackaged at some point as "Marshal Dillon"), and it's actually a very good show. Between seeing that and some Rifleman shows I can see why westerns were so popular back then. And like any genre and any…

Looks like some stupid shit to me.

This also premiered in 1983:

I thought he was fun just because he's some kind of parody character. Don't most people realize that? Any time I've seen him in a story, he's played as a comedic character.
