I'm realizing that Leslie Knope thought Pawnee was The Good Place, and Eagleton was The Bad Place, but maybe she had it backwards all along?

They did!?!?

I've always heard that you can't submit a spec script to the actual show it's for/about, because they won't read it and risk you accusing them of stealing ideas later. Anybody else bothered by this, or is that just a nonsense fact?

It's called Checkers in different areas of the country (NYC, for the one example I know). Was very confused to see a restaurant in New Orleans that was exactly like a Checkers but called "Rally's", until I found out they're related. Like a Hardees-Carl's Jr. sort of thing.

Creak. Slam. Sit.

He's said on twitter (@craigwedren) that he really wants to release everything properly, and he's working on it, but Netflix owns the music so he's working with them. I don't think I'm being naively optimistic when I say it sounds like it should happen…hopefully sooner than later.

The follow-up record, 50,000 BC, is a lot more accessible (which made a lot of fans hate it; I guess since I only "discovered" them after they broke up I could like it). My favorites are Beauty Strike and Red House (which had been recorded several times before that record); Survival might suit your fancy too.

Ditto Elliot!

"Not great, BOB."
