"In what was reputedly the first marketing tie-in between a toy company and a liquor producer, Milton Bradley distributed a book of Seagram’s Seven-Crown drink recipes with a Twister theme to 15,000 liquor stores across America."

I remember it well, Joey Blowey saying that A.V. Club should review Jeopardy! and me thinking, "Yeah, they should but they won't, so I'll give it a shot."

Until that damn star wheel ruined everything!

I was a little crushed too, she had real potential and was looking forward to her return next season. Oh well.

You really couldn't go wrong with Fannie, Patti, Betty, Joyce or Marcia…that sixth-seat casting was absolutely genius.

Also known as "Community Syndrome".

Thank you for reading! I continue to be amazed and grateful for everyone's ongoing support!

I imagine the holidays are pretty lucrative for local stations, with all the area retailers having a big pre-and-post Christmas sales push and whatnot.

There should be an annual "Radio Shack" award for the worst-written clue of the season.

The value is not in the comedy itself, but that people will listen to the truth when it's presented as comedy. These performers are not taking Trump lightly - there's clear rage behind it. It's not harmful, it's cathartic.

If he voted no, at least he could have run for governor as an independent to replace Sandoval, but now that's out the window, too.

Just crediting McCain is like saying a terrible kicker who just happened to nail a 55-yarder to win a 51-49 game is the sole hero. It took a lot of work from others just to stay in a position to win.

The idea from many of them is for people to die in the street, but that's a hard sell.

If I don't survive, tell my wife, "Hello."
