You know, they already had the perfect way to continue the franchise, if only they had cast someone less loathsome than Shia LaBeouf in the role.

Yeah, depending on how broadly you define "nerdy hipster freaks." I don't think your average Joe Sixpack is particularly into This American Life or podcasts in general, either.

To make things more confusing, Pixar did just announce that they cast Diane Keaton in the Finding Nemo sequel.

Camp Cucamonga! I forgot about that one.

Are you referring to Community? Not on NBC anymore. Imagine if they started this a couple years ago. I'd kill to see Chris Parnell and Yvette Nicole Brown in the Music Man.

I'm pretty sure it's FOX that's doing Grease.

I really miss those made-for-TV movies NBC used to do in the late 80s, like "Combat High" and "Dream Date" that starred a bunch of the third stringers from their sitcoms (usually like Richard Moll and Skippy from Family Ties).

More Paula Pell, please.

Yeah! I don't mind when it comes on the radio while I'm driving, but it's way too frenetic for listening at my computer and trying to work.

Look at that hair! It's…not.

BLTs, dude!!!

I know them as Scrabble plays.

The Beagle Scouts! Bill, Conrad, Harriet, and Olivier.

I don't think you can really say that the character designs are all THAT true to the newspaper strips. Here's a comparison of Pig-Pen in the comic strip vs. the movie: http://a.disquscdn.com/uplo…
