That's awesome about your nephew, zeppomarxist.  It sounds like you've given him a good start in life.  Who knows, maybe his parents did something right too.

While her acting career didn't last much past adolescence, Terry Burnham really does shine in "Nightmare as a Child."  She's basically playing an adult in the episode, yes.  But it's subtle.  She's smart and poised, but not overtly creepy.  And there's a neat interplay between her and Rule.  Helen is struggling to be…

I caught the nasty sexual vibe too.  Aside from that Selden seems to be a prime example of the criminal type you see a lot on the Law & Order shows: The compulsive planner who thinks he's a genius, but is all told stupider than the average burglar.  Once he killed Helen's mother he had three options that made some…

One weird thing about "Bewitched" is that Darin's job with the Tate agency is about the most treacherous and soulkilling as the advertising business has ever been shown.  And his wife's magic could give him a little more breathing room so he could find his own niche.  He doesn't want to hear about it, though. …

I'd love to see "Tim Riley's Bar", even though I suspect it would depress the hell out of me.  Marc Scott Zicree gives a pretty gripping description of it in his TZ book.

"Please tell me that wasn't our tub."

Definite second on loving "Yesandwitch."  "Full Court Dress" actually had a lot to love too.

They had a couple of albums out too.  That would probably be some prime vinyl to get your hands on.

It's kind of easy to mistake him for Gene Shalit.

Bruce could pull it off too.

Ideally I'd have some kind of wheel system going so that no state was first every election season and no state was last every time.  Then maybe you wouldn't have everyone rushing to have their primary on New Year's.

"Do you know the only reason you're still alive is because I never kissed you?"

Shasta McNasty?  That was about fucking while you drink grapefruit soda, wasn't it?

Actually I remember Tom Carson at New York Magazine saying nice things about Desmond Pfeiffer.  By that time it had already been cancelled, so I couldn't tune in to see if he was just high.

It would be funnier if at least one of the guys were just doing the crossdressing thing for the hell of it, or because someone bet him he couldn't pass as a chick.  Then the show wouldn't have to lean so hard on the waa-waa feminism stole my mojo thing.

Once again I'm puzzled to scroll down and see barely one positive comment on the show.  Todd and Brandon are paid to watch TV.  I actually like this show.  Not sure what keeps everyone else coming back.

It's a babbling creature who can't fend for himself or even control his bodily functions.  And he's holding a baby.

When Phil wrote about Glenn Close being in Up With People, I thought he was hallucinating.  Turns out to be true, thought.  Which gives me ideas on how Fatal Attraction could have been scarier.

She really is a national treasure.

This special also neat to watch because of the presence of characters like Frieda and Shermie and unpeppermint Patty, characters Schultz would phase out or basically reduce to extras as time wore on.  Even within the world of "Peanuts" it carries a nostalgic twinge.
