    The greatest My Dinner With Andre joke is in Waiting for Guffman, when he plays with the action figures:

    This whole thing has just reawakened my fears about how badly he's going to fuck up Superman.

    Automan!

    The Family Feud scene is, bar none, the funniest thing the show's ever done. Archer's "I'm a game show host" voice in particular. "One more strike and the innocent Honduran janitors will have a chance to STEAL THE BANK!"

    You had me at meat tornado.

    Zoo Story is a must-read, and A Delicate Balance and Three Tall Women are both pretty great (each won the Pulitzer for drama). His third Pulitzer winner, Seascape, is Albee-lite, but still fun.

    Ron's great television because he's a perfect, stereotypical cranky old coot. If they had a challenge where racers had to stand on a lawn and shout at people to get off it, he'd win.

I don't know if it was his accent or the fifth of Jack I had with lunch, but I couldn't understand a fucking word. Then Marina said, 'He wants you to act like you're coming.' Which, let's face it, is not much of an

    > Think of the Enterprise as a giant stair-car traveling across the galaxy. You're gonna get some baryons.

    Where no one will ever see it, but I'm a-doin' it anyway!

    Voyager's greatest crime is its complete abandonment of its own premise. A crew that's half Starfleet and half crankypants rebel Maquis? Hey, internal conflict! That's one of them fancy writer things that make tv shows good! So how do we handle that? Let's put them all in Starfleet uniforms and make them one big happy

    Olaf the Troll: You there, do you know where there are babies?

    Jack, as the plane escapes.

    It was the Best of Glee, it was the Worst of Glee.

    This is a nitpick but…
    I was so completely distracted by the terrible fake-LA backdrop in Rita Wilson's first scene I had to go back and watch it again to try and decipher what the hell was going on.

    That bitch totally needed a ride!
