The Beatles were pretty much the only band to have album cuts played on oldies stations (as opposed to classic rock stations, which usually played a wider range for everyone). The oldies stations of my youth must have had 40-50 Beatles songs in regular rotation.

It was bested by the two albums that came before it, so the tense is wrong.

I also enjoyed her smirk and pause when calling Minnie Mickey's "girlfriend," as if she were suppressing the urge to call her a "paramour" or "lover."

"Anna" is a great song, although the original by Arthur Alexander is better.

I actually am a Christian, and I never thought the references to the Gideon Bible in "Rocky Raccoon" were supposed to be anything other than humorous/silly.

I always enjoy it when someone subtly/accidentally outs himself as a non-American. (In the U.S. we have moved Corpus Christi to Sunday.)

I never watched the show (maybe once or twice for five minutes), but I don't remember its being nearly as hated when it was on the air as it apparently is now.

I think this is a confused conversation - no one denies that he was kicked out of the band. I was objecting to the statement that he had songwriting credit.

I think something must have gotten lost in translation. There were not even any Harrison-written songs on the first album - all Lennon/McCartneys and covers.

Apparently Good Wives is usually treated as Part Two of Little Women by modern publishers.

I have never heard anyone claim that Pete Best had or deserved any kind of writing credit on any Beatles song. Also, he was fired a few weeks before they recorded their first single, which was recorded several months before their first album.

Golly, that adds up to nine of the fifty governors. (Although I wonder if Brown of Oregon was in office yet when this was filmed.)

I think the reputation of Alice Cooper as the nicest man in rock is already well-established. (Further evidence is always welcome, of course.)

Noted A.V. Club commenter Hipster DBag once claimed he knew the kid who picked Baltimore and won (which I actually remember), and that it was real.

There was also a version of this show that traveled to malls throughout the country. It was just for publicity and was not broadcast. Greg Lee was there but not Lynne Thigpen (she may have recorded a clue or two, though). I was in it but lost.

Also, as strange as it may seem today, when even low-rated shows that lasted two or three years try to have some kind of wrap-up (if they have advance notice of cancellation), at the time the very idea of a "series finale" was a relatively new concept. Every show except The Fugitive, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and

I saw the title and assumed it was "One-Season Weirdos and Wonders," then looked more closely and was quite pleasantly surprised.

Other reviews have said that the events depicted bear little resemblance to real history anyway.

Actually Ned Flanders said it in reply to Homer.
