Kevin Can Wait wound up doing worse for CBS than Supergirl had the previous season, thus the desperation stunt casting.

A.V. Club of the Todd era would have been beyond excited about Carmichael and we'd be getting think pieces about it for sure, possibly regular coverage. Sadly, those days are long gone.

"I wouldn’t have left the show if this finale hadn’t absolutely, perfectly, organically allowed an exit for Erlich in a way that I found very funny."

I guess Showtime has to try something, because if the ratings are any indication, almost nobody cares about this.

She still does stand-up all the time, makes indie movies and did some live theater. But she doesn't have a computer, a website, a smart phone or e-mail, so a lot of people think she's disappeared.

I've already seen what Showtime can do with a retro-series with Masters of Sex. Won't go down that road again.

I'm reminded of when Janeane Garofalo came out forcefully against the Iraq war when most famous people were still silent. Her career suffered disproportionately to those of male anti-war celebrities.

Exactly, DOA is a show that is immediately rejected by the public and is yanked after two episodes. This is more of a miscarriage.

The long-term trend is downward, but it's not a straight line. People were just as despairing about Bush, but that set the stage for Obama. Let's see who steps up in the next couple of years.

I usually hear Revolver as the consensus choice, with some votes for Rubber Soul.

It's regarded as highly influential, but to my knowledge it's not generally considered as the greatest Beatles record.

Jeopardy! recap for Thur., Jun. 1- Excellent contest that saw Coby extend his lead on DD2 and appear to be in very good shape. But it all turned around when champ Joe found DD3, made a strong wager to gain first place and kept drawing away from there, entering FJ with $24,800 vs. $18,900 for Coby and $10,800 for…

I took it last night, let's all hope for the best. Good luck!

If these episodes get "A"s, then Better Call Saul deserves A+++++.

Yeah, the SCTV dream team didn't stay together all that long, which is why they needed able support at times from Robin Duke, Tony Rosato, Mary Wilcox and the hilarious John Hemphill. And of course, we can't forget the late, great Harold Ramis.
