This article was great! Have you thought of making the topic of a TV Club Roundtable "finales"?

It will be interesting to see how it's seen in 20 years. Will it still be seen as a classic or a show that captured the zeitgeist of the time and no longer rellevent?

Half a brain describes a lot of its fans. Heyooo!!

I felt the same about 10 minutes into the pilot but then I just took at as a detective parody rather than an adaptation of the books and really got into the show. I feel the show would of done better if it had a different title. The fans of the book which were the biggest viewers of the pilot wouldn't complain it's a…

Unlike the burke who eat his own balls, hey.

Yes, I suppose the news should just be a dispassionate list of all the events that have occurred the world over during the day. That would be good. Except of course, it would take forever!

You all laugh now, but wait till Season 38 where all the episodes come from suggestions from alt.tv.simpsons.

Why do you assume that because I know who directs films I don't read books. Also as a Literature Major would you take someone's opinion seriously if they wrote an essay on Nabokov talking about books he never wrote?

I still wouldn't watch it.

They still repeat it all the time on one of the digital channels for cheap programing. Usually in a double bill with Touched by an Angel.

It's got nothing to do with being subjective, the list is objectively wrong because Gilliam didn't direct a third of the films you list.
