Padget Brewster might make a good Nora for Fillion's Nick, if you take the Thrilling Adventure Hour as an  audition tape.

Putting in my two cents for Fairport Convention's "Percy's Song."  Sandy Denny singing, and Richard Thompson's guitar.  That's all.

The Season 1 and 2 DVDs were my Christmas present to myself.  Since I really didn't get into the show until midway into season 2, there was so much to catch up on, and enjoy.  I had never even seen "Modern Warfare" until I watched the episode a couple of weeks ago.

Sounds Swedish.

Carnivàle, Deadwood, and Rome:  The three post-Sopranos dramas HBO cut down before their time.  Only Rome managed to get something resembling a satisfying resolution, probably because they knew the second season was the last.  I don't doubt for a minute the budgetary issues, as all three of these shows have masterful…

If Last House on the Left is the real loser here, I wonder how the Virgin Spring feels.

If we are really giving examples from the 80's, why no mention of Blade Runner?  Too obvious, or does it not qualify as dystopian enough?

Good point.  It makes me think that Mary Tamm would have made a better companion during the Pertwee era.  I could totally see the third Doctor with a Mrs. Peel type.

I'm hoping for a Victorian mini-arc with Madame Vastra and Jenny, but a generally companionless Matt Smith might be a good choice for a bit.

Hard to believe, given his pantsless state.

Yeah, the Proops podcast is really inconsistent, but when he is on, he really kills.  Generally he gets on a roll at least once an episode.

Appropos of nothing here, but RIP Russell Hoban

Handcuffed together on a bed might presumably raise something.

At least he added some protein.

This is just a stealth promotion of a mid-season replacement NBC show in the hopes that they will keep Community and Parks and Rec on the air.  As such, well done.

My favorite post of the day.  It sounds like a vintage Jack Handy line.

No animated Japanese children orphaned by firebombing, I take it.

And you keep hard for a long time afterward.

I always felt that Harris wrote "Hannibal" as a franchise killer, so audiences (as well as agents, publishers, etc.) would stop bugging him for more sequels. Hey, why not make it as ridiculous as possible? But people kept buying…

Maybe
Pixar's just purposefully ruining John Ratzenberger's streak as the greatest American Actor!
