One can only hope
that they bring back PERSONS UNKNOWN.

Time for a Spaced reference
The first rule of Robot Fight Club is: you do not talk about Robot Fight Club. The second rule of Robot Fight Club is: YOU DO NOT TALK—er, sorry. The second rules is: no smoking.

This show
is awesome. Really glad to see it will get the coverage it deserves. I wasn't a huge My Name Is Earl fan, but Hope is easily my favorite new comedy of the season.

That's how BtVS was originally pitched: "X-Files in high school."

Muppets* in Space

I dug Muppets Tonight, if only because Security Guard Bear rose to prominence. His few lines in Muppts in Space ("a goat?") are hilarious.

Moffat
rules. A+. Can't wait for more.

Here's a question for you
Does the DVD reviews of some TV show tacitly render TV Club write-ups moot? Don't get me wrong—I love TV Club and read it religiously, especially for the shows I follow and even for one off shows that they decide to review (case in point: I read all of THE MILLIONAIRE MATCHMAKER write-up…

I'm not a shipper, but F it: I want Laurie and Travis to hook up. The writers could go either way with this one, but Busy Phillips and Dan Byrd have brilliant chemistry together. I can't help but feel all the focus on Travis going away to college is the writers way of growing him up a bit so when the hook up does…

Not gonna lie
You put the Wild Wild West music video somewhere easily accessible, I'll watch that shit.

Oh uhhh
I guess this show is back now? Okay… cool?

Wait a sec, CJ took over in season 3. I always thought (as I think Robbles does too) that Morgan and Wong were to credit for the killer mind-fucks of season 2.

Millennium basically works as a show of three seasons of false starts, with the second season being the best. There are so many great eps in season 2 ("The Curse of Frank Black," "Jose Chung's Doomsday Defense", "Somehow Satan Got Behind Me", "Midnight of the Century", "Good-bye Charlie", "A Room With No View"). Not…

Here is my
one party trick: remembering theme songs to obscure 90s TV shows. Without looking it up, I know that the theme song to NORM went:

The prophetic powers of BOY MEETS WORLD
Behold, the inevitable theme song:

She tries to run away but her huge cell phone falls out of those stupid tiny backpacks girls used to carry and totally lands in a pile of some kids' pogs. And then in another scene she could be sneaking away from the bad guys but her light up Sketchers would give her away and she'd have to trade them for roller…

A few thoughts:
1. So, should I watch this or not? Sounds interesting but there's no way I'm sitting through three seasons of bad comedy just to see a fourth season that sounds mildly infused with supposed-to-be-bad comedy.

Great list
But would've liked to have seen this one episode of the way-underappreciated sitcom BROTHERLY LOVE (you know it was quality because it starred ALL THREE Lawrence brothers). In it, Joey and his improbably-hot-fellow mechanic (Liz Vassey) get locked in a closet together where they are (wait for it) FORCED TO…

Maybe not so much a "bottle episode" but: the episode of Family Ties where Alex speaks directly to the camera/his therapist about his grief over a friend dying. The episode was shot more like a staging of Our Town almost, with various sets (sister's bedroom, kitchen) lighting up behind him, and Alex getting out his…

The boxing episode is also one of the few that benefits from watching the director's cut as opposed to the original TV airing.
