Oh my god (or should I say, "Sweet Jesus") that was him?

Those aluminum foil hats are more useful than you might realize.

I used to listen to, and sometimes watch, Olbermann as a podcast in the MSNBC days.  I kept hoping Current would do something similar, especially after bringing on The Young Turks, which comes from that background already.  Also, it seemed to me that podcasting would be a good fit with  Current's admittedly tiny niche.

There's also Slate, which has added about two or three new podcasts in the past few months to the ones in regular weekly rotation.  I don't know what their download numbers are, but they seem to have found either a market niche for their podcasts, or else are just damned dedicated to the form.

Sometimes I stop to watch a Criminal Minds rerun, just to ruminate over the "so that's Sadie Doyle," paradox.

John Carter probably would have been helped by Marc Evan Jackson and Mark Gagliardi, too.

I was once told I looked like Zach Braff and Paul Giamatti's love child.  Luckily, I've retained Zach's hairline, so far.

Since when is someone called an "abortion survivor?"  Does this mean the fetus kicked the doctor when he tried?  Stupid nomenclature.

Yeah, 30 Rock and Community are more similar to each other than either is to Parks and Rec.

I saw it in NYC.  NC-17 is pretty much an accurate reflection of the material. The violence is pretty graphic, even on stage, and the family dynamics are really disturbing.  This probably had more to do with the rating than the violence.

I used to have the published edition of the scripts. Lost after too many moves, and I'm sure it's out of print now.

Thanks for the tip.  Between this and the return of Community, my inner child is having a great day!

Two things not in St. Elsewhere's favor:  Howie Mandel, and the Halsey/Brand throughline to John Corbett's romantic comedy career.

Well, more rape anyway. Community has Abed, remember?

I gave up on Professor Blastoff early on.  I thought it was a very noisy and unfocused, and they often made annoying errors regarding the topic.  Is it worth checking it out again?

Credit to both Bridges and Lange for surviving this. Bridges at least had plenty of years of good to great performances previously to fall back on, but Lange really deserves credit for not being sunk by this movie. Between her and Helen Mirren in Caligula, I don't know who had the worst climb back to becoming a…

It'll be a fine film once they get those little wheels off and learn to balance.  Just takes time.

Phodreaw, the Thrilling Adventure Hour is a podcast, performed like old time radio plays.  Brewster is in one of the better recurring ones, "Beyond Belief." as a Nora Charles-like character opposite Paul F. Thompkins.  She actually nails the witty-boozing socialite character better that he does, and that's saying…
