I love Pete and I love YMIW, so I didn't mind him on that episode. The feuding between the 3 different Seinfeld impressions near the end of the episode just killed me. Gino was a fantastic character, and he needs to be brought back.

World Painted Blood was fantastic. Best album since Seasons, by far. "Playing With Dolls" was really creepy.
Yes, that scene is great. You realize that Briggs hasn't been the most present father for Bobby, but it's also a really loving relationship.
It's even more terrifying in slow motion. Laura's scream in the series finale is also very frightening. That Sheryl Lee had some screaming pipes, for sure.
Not even kidding, but he made Jeepers Creepers 2 highly enjoyable.
Ashbrook's acting in that scene is phenomenal. That was maybe the first time I felt true sympathy for Bobby in the whole series. The fact that he's there and he's also in touch with that unbearable sadness really makes it hard to watch. Lara Flynn Boyle is amazing in that scene, too.
The dueling, and then three-way feuding of Seinfelds near the end was just killing me. Gabrus was 100% spot on in his stereotyping. The "Neg" incident and then the callback to that later were just perfect.
The guy on the far right of this picture was one of Todd's uncle's buddies in Breaking Bad, so you've already got one former nazi criminal that will make an appearance (albeit, on FNL he's in a wheelchair playing rugby).
As a huge fan of 80s and 90s hard rock and heavy metal, I thought the Meadows/Sanz episode was incredible, especially when Scott would catch Sanz in an anachronism, like how he was writing Velvet Revolver songs in the early 90s, when that band didn't form until 2002. The "Beef: Off" "Beef: Over" "Beef: Beginning"…
If David Simon's "Homicide" book is any indication, Homicide cops are constantly making jokes that are much more vile and offensive than the jokes we see on TV, with The Wire maybe being the only exception.
What year was that? Alice In Chains didn't ever break up, they just went on a really long hiatus from touring after 1993.
While we're on the subject of awful band name stories, Godsmack used to claim that their name came from Sully Erna's grandmother warning him, "You better knock it off, or God'll smack ya!" This despite the fact that Godsmack were clearly aping Alice In Chains at every turn, despite the fact that "Godsmack" is a song…
In a show full of hilarious moments, I don't think I've laughed harder at any Eastbound and Down moment more than I did when the opening notes of "Far Behind" interrupt Shane's funeral. Maybe when Kenny knocked that trashy bar skank off the jet ski in Season 1, that was probably my second favorite moment on that show…
"Riding on the Wind" and "Devil's Child" are really great, too.
It's no wonder they went entirely with a drum machine on Turbo and Ram It Down. The fake drums on those 2 albums sounded better than the drums on Defenders, partly because Dave Holland was not a great drummer, and partly because the production was not that great. Live versions of Defenders songs are much better,…
I just could not get into Nostradamus. "Prophecy" and the track "Nostradamus" are solid, but the rest of that album just did not connect with me. The rest of your list is great, but I'd probably have Sad Wings of Destiny in place of Sin After Sin, and Sin After Sin tied with Stained Class as number 5.
In all my years of being a Priest fan, I always assumed "Electric Eye" was about some mechanical space creature that was always watching everybody, just because it's Priest. Reading the lyrics now as a social commentary on government spying is actually pretty remarkable, because that thought never crossed my mind.
To me, the funniest part of the episode was when Scott made the joke about the word "discharge," and then the CBB theme song started playing, prompting Scott to utter a very real, "What the fuck is going on there?" I could not stop laughing and had to replay that about 30 times. The way the theme song hit just killed…
All right, he ain't all that humble.
Why is nobody making the reference to the fact that Tony Danza was the pitcher on the Angels in Angels in the Outfield, one of JGL's earliest film roles?
