Why aren't you giving us the genders of nouns? Is "desk" masculine? Is "chair" feminine? Foreign kids know, but we don't! No wonder we can't compete in a global market! I demand sex education!

Actually, I would say that whether Jesus is actually divine or not is a huge deal from a theological point of view.

Yeah, this is actually a pretty common trope (although Boyhood has not yet been added to the TV Tropes page on the subject, which is named after your quote).

Actually, some of the definitions below, especially that from Archbishop of Krejci, are more accurate or at least more precise. A further complication, though, is that "manager" is mostly used in the professional leagues - high school and college teams usually say "coach." (And so, despite the title of this article,…

My sixth-grade teacher had a complete Narnia set from which The Silver Chair had been stolen. (I later tracked it down, but I still don't remember it as well as the others today.)

Looks as if I was wrong. I forgot about Family Guy.

Also he hugs an older woman (probably his mother) who was played by Will Forte's real mother (or at least someone named Forte).

Thanks. Very random (in the true sense of the word) to put Kris Kristofferson in there.

Is that for real?

I was angry with myself because I first thought of Hawaii, and when I realized that was wrong I went to the short ones (Maine, Iowa, Ohio). I should have realized that if your first choice is Hawaii, your second should always be Alaska (and vice versa).

I know all that, but if Ireland was still not fully independent, there must have been some kind of extradition agreement.

And often they air two or three weeks in advance.

"Lots of luck getting Irish authorities to return anyone to England to face justice."

There is a clear long-running subtext that Gene prefers Linda and Tina and Louise prefer Bob (and to a lesser extent, the parents feel the same way in the opposite direction).

I don't think mentions of God will strike the average viewer as unusual. About 90% of Americans believe in God. (I admit that that is different from being "somewhat religious" - probably a good number of those never pray or set foot inside a church.)

I like Bob's Burgers better at the earlier time, but I think it is just for this week anyway. (Also, have you noticed that the move of Bob's Burgers to 9:30 led to the show being scheduled against its own Cartoon Network reruns? Those must be getting a 0.0 rating.)

Well, that's how people communicate these days. No one is going to come up to you on the street and say, "Do you want to start a discussion on how people see color?" But on the Internet, rightly or wrongly, it can happen.

I actually somewhat disagree. I don't care about this dress in particular, but I find it fascinating/scary that people can have such varying perceptions of reality. Have half the people around me been seeing different colors from me the whole time? (The "butter is white" claim is a sign that maybe they have been.)

The reruns eventually turned up in standard syndication, I think. (Or at least some channel in Massachusetts was airing them in the late eighties, so I assume that was authorized.) There was also the cartoon version on one of the broadcast networks.

This movie and The Great Mouse Detective are forgettable for me in the most literal sense of the word - I saw both of them in the theater at a single-digit age, and I have forgotten everything that happened in them. (Confession - I don't really remember The Little Mermaid that well either.)
