Well, if you're going to go by "what I remember" and demand that The Flyin Hawaiian do research for you, as opposed to doing a simple Google search, then of course you're only going to remember the leftist feminists opposed to porn. This is what is known as "confirmation bias". And — stage whisper — it makes you look…

My brother and I are huge theater fans, and during the year of 2008-09, we were both close enough to NYC to make periodic trips into the city to see Broadway shows together.

Wasn't that the point with The Devil Wears Prada? That kind of reinvented her for my generation, who only knew her as a drama actress..

Is your mother a narcissist along with the depression? Because the dynamic you're describing could totally describe my parents (with my brother and me switching off in the black sheep role, I think he's there currently), and dealing with my mother got so much easier when I realized that she's a narcissist and…

I just found the "best of" link. I read this site every day and I missed a lot of these. It took me three weeks to find the "best of" tag. And some of the "best of" lists are done entirely in video form, so I don't know if "Orphan Black" has already been covered in the import series video — or what was covered in…

Well, if you meant to say that hiring a black female comedian was solely because of a call "for diversity for diversity's sake", and not because of SNL's inability to maintain relevance or do interesting sketches in a world where they can't portray the First Lady, the country's most powerful female entertainment…

So you're enjoying the numerous "unfunny white politicians or talk show hosts talking about current events" sketches, because that's literally the only angle they can take with the cast they have"? This isn't about tokenism, this is about SNL being (marginally) relevant in a world that's not entirely white. Adding…

The headline also made me feel a little sick, but the mention of Waltz with Bashir made me feel a lot better. He'll treat this properly.

Just seeing you say that line made me pull out my season 3 DVDs to rewatch DEP. Is it an episode for everyone? Maybe not. But it's so freaking awesome to me. The episode makes me incredibly happy in a way I can't explain or define.

To be fair, the last performance I saw of South Pacific had a chorus of Catholic high schoolers in brownface, which colored (pun not intended) the way I saw it.

Can't do Annie, Will Smith and Jay-Z are filming a version right now. Otherwise, I agree with your list. I'm just crossing my fingers they don't do any Andrew Lloyd Weber.

The King and I is too racist to do anymore. Same with South Pacific, and probably Anything Goes. I expect a sanitized Grease, The Music Man (which they just did for TV a little while ago, but whatever), Fiddler on the Roof, possibly Bye Bye Birdie…

I actually think Megan Hilty would be a superior June. She would rock the stripper number at the end, but she wouldn't be very good as plain Louise. Louise requires the ability not to distract: she's second fiddle on the stage for most of the show and needs to blend in/allow herself to be upstaged until she takes…

No, actually, that was being a participant in the Jersey Shore studies academic conference. (Braggart alert: I co-authored the paper about the financial impact on the Jersey Shore communities mentioned here. http://www.nytimes.com/2011…. There is a reason I don't mention it on my CV.)

If Barbra Streisand ever pulls off her movie version of Gypsy, she's suggested Lady Gaga for Louise.

Not true for Jeopardy contestants. You get a check that (even if you're in third place, like I was) covers airfare and the hotel and a little more. It covered all that and paid my rent for two months, plus Alex Trebec gave me a hug, so the temporary humiliation of losing was worth it.

It'd fit right in on Fox!

Dr. Horrible sequel!

He was the one who wasn't terrible as Marius in Les Mis 25th? We might actually be able to sell this.

You guys are all so optimistic. If we get any Sondheim, it'll be West Side Story starring Selena Gomez as Maria.
