Are you Mark Aaron Richey by any chance?

At least he (presumably, based on Mark's comment) had it for his adult life.

One of the truly embarrassing things about the Simpsons' golden years is how they use the insipid adult contemporary "Jazz Man" to signify Lisa's love of jazz and/or blues.

Wow, thank you for making me have the wholly novel thought "I really want to see Eleanor Roosevelt's boobs."

I actually think 11-13 were the low point. Since then the show has muddle along in mediocrity, but it's not been offensively bad like it was in those years.

"I think I'll have some wine."

Tell me more!

At the end of that episode, Homer and the Grinch suddenly become friends. Is that ever explained, or are we left to assume there was a whole plot offscreen that resulted in them burying the hatchet? If it's that latter, I thought that was just bizarre enough to give the episode a little redemption.

The clown college episode was great and you should feel bad for mentioning it among these true stinkers.

My mother, who is Armenian, asked "Why did they make him Armenian?" as if they were making some joke at Armenians' expense, but I always figured they thought it was just a weird, zany name.

I can already see the final scene of the series being the Night's King watching as Kings Landing is overrun and the entire continent lays dead behind him. That would actually be a pretty badass ending.

That brings up an interesting question: do you think Jake Lloyd has ever pulled any tail as a result of his being in Star Wars and, if so, how hot was the girl measured in Bilsons?

No, it's more like when the Emperor is trying to goad Luke into striking him down because he knows if Luke does he'll end up more powerful than ever. Or something.

Look boys, the music, it's not helping. It was like Twin Peaks if Twin Peaks was trying really hard to make you take it seriously.

I'm in the same boat so far. It was pretty much one groaner after another for the entire episode. And were we actually supposed to follow the 15 plot lines they introduced in the first 30 minutes?

As someone who's pretty much the same ethnic makeup as Kim Kardashian, wtf are you talking about?

Finally. I've been waiting for a Grandmaster B followup for 25 years.

If we come up with any more I think the suffix -est has lost all meaning.

Don't worry, it was a nit I also picked while I was reading the review. "Full stop" is one of those self-conscious verbal tics people use when they're not confident in their writing. But, hey, welcome to the internet where we don't need no stinking editors because lackluster prose has become the norm.

I don't see any horses.
