I vote for stupider. If it got any smarter it would just be the Flintstones.

How about a half-hour of Sophia Vergara wearing high heels and acting like a doggie? I would watch that.

I hate this show! I'm never watching it again!
(Commercial Break)Oh hey, I'm back. Sorry about saying I hated the show. I'm going to start watching it again for no reason.

My initial reaction to "Inspector Spacetime" was to be a bit offended that they were misrepresenting "Doctor Who" so badly. But then when I tried to think about just what was being misrepresented: The incongruous London phone box? The cheap special effects? The quaint English accents and attitudes? The glib…

I love how the show is using Skype to open up the sitcom format.
It used to be if you wanted to include a scene where Leonard's mom dropped in to belittle him, you would have to have some laborious exposition about how she happened to be in town or she flew in when she heard or whatever. Now someone just flips open a…

Eight Men Out is probably his best and most accessible work. It's just as preachy as his other work, but it's grounded in actual events and well-known personalities who actually personify the stark points he wants to make about American society.
(Shoeless Joe Jackson and Kenesaw Mountain Landis? You can't make that…

Great picture!
Are they actually out on the curb? I thought that was just a figure of speech.

"We've got to get to a LIBRARY!"
Because that would really be better than being in a movie theatre, watching this.

And it's been quietly corrected, though I think you were onto something about David Geffen capitalizing on a huge cache of drugs.

"…Geffen shrewdly wanted to capitalize on the group's cache in the wake of…"
Nice typo, Steve.
No doubt this was a huge cache of drugs that Geffen wanted to capitalize on.
More correctly, perhaps he wanted to capitalize on the group's "cachet".

Alka-Seltzer
Yes, people still use Alka-Seltzer, even without commercials.
Also, Tuck's Pads.
There's so much to look forward to in Middle Age.

"The Daleks would never put someone on trial…"
It's nice to see a full-fledged geek-out every once in a while.

"Perry is dead"
George Peppard has one of my favourite lines in this movie. After he and JMV disagree about tactics, and one of their little group dies as a result, he says:

I repeat: Killer Cockroaches!

For the benefit of future readers who will read this long after the ad has flipped to something else (or perhaps even after you and have died), the "blonde girl" in question is Brit Marling.

Actually I didn't know that, but now I see that you are correct.

The Strawb
In the mid-90s I saw Strawberry play in Winnipeg when he was playing for some forgotten minor-league outfit.
Even then, I was mostly psyched about seeing him play because he'd been on the Simpsons.
And I'm pretty sure people were chanting "Darr-yll… Darrrr-yll… Darrrr-yll…"

"I had every right to consider him, Artie."
That is one of my favourite moments in the series, one of the few times when Artie and Larry confront each other openly as equals and Larry uncharacteristically does not back down or try to weasel out of it. He doesn't lie about it or even apologize. He just looks Artie in…

What else the Juggalos need: Blagojevich!
Blagojevich won't be in the joint by then, will he?
And you know he'd DO it, right? They just have to ask.

Bye Todd
I like the show, but I agree there isn't much more to say about it critically, at least on a weekly basis.
