Rihanna IS Mayor Abraham Beame!

The kids these days love their Greta something fierce!

Channing Tatum IS David Byrne!
Lindsay Lohan IS Debbie Harry!
Um… Ashton Kutcher IS Tom Verlaine!
Er… ah… Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner ARE Joey and Dee Dee Ramone!

I imagine the shit's gonna hit the fan when it's revealed he's been doing Steve Jobs' voice with a comical East Indian accent.

Great Scenic Route today.

When I saw Megan's note about going to get bagels, I immediately imagined Jon Hamm's voiceover reading that as well.

If I remember correctly, Stan, when first introduced, was presented as being very confident in his artistic abilities, and that he had done a fair number of things outside of his duties, like filmmaking. (Wasn't it implied that he worked on LBJ's "Daisy" campaign spot?)  I don't think Stan was ever presented as not

I have a daughter, same age.  Shipka is bang on with the petulance and accompanying woe-is-me affectations.  And added to that, she's referencing Megan's acting lessons while doing so.  She's a preternatural talent, that one.

The Romney and Dark Shadows shout-outs seem to be a little too on-the-nose, as far as showing how the past and present are connected through media references.  I'm now fully expecting to see Harry return from an L.A. trip wearing a pair of rubber Spock ears, and saying "Hey, look I what got from my tour of Desilu

There was a close up of the needle on the last track right before Don lifted it off.

"Hi, kids. Where's your father?"
"He's upstairs masturbating to gay porn."
"Again?"

These reboots are made for walkin'.

Sorry.  Deliberately cross-referencing my Looney Tunes.  And yeah, I like your version better.  Carry on.

Jago, where's the kaboom?  There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom.

What would be entirely awesome would be if the piece that Elijah Wood had to play was that two-note solo piano piece from the soundtrack of "Eyes Wide Shut".  We keep cutting back and forth from the same two notes on the piano being played, to the sweat dampening his brow, the shots getting closer and closer, the

Da-da-dum, da-dum-da-da-da dum-da-da BOOM!

Automan: Legacy!!!

I was thinking that Sally was "rescued" from the Francis household, albeit temporarily. Though I can wholeheartedly say that Shirley Temple never walked in on Buddy Ebsen during…an inopportune moment.
