I liked that Bubblegum's concert was so sparsely attended.I guess she didn't abuse her royal power to force people to attend.

There's no need to even go to a gorilla breeder when you can get a rescue gorilla instead. It's what I do, and trust me, that clear conscience makes the gorilla steaks taste a lot better.

And Pele's stuck endorsing Crestfield wax paper.

I was [redacted]years out of high school when it aired, and I actually started watching the pilot when it aired. But when Eli broke his arm, I said to myself "wow, that is exactly how awful high school is. I have no interest in revisiting it." I didn't come back until later in the original run when it was all but…

I'll admit that until I rewatched this one ahead of the review, it had never registered that the beauty queens weren't just missing the point of At Seventeen, but reversing it.

Mething Persons

Right. In 2009, the year the Peabody's stopped mattering, aka the year Entourage got one.

I think Jeff Martin may have brought the use of the wildly different voice to the Simpsons from his days on Late Night With David Letterman. They'd use it to welcome new affiliates to NBC - "Welcome [WLEX] in [Lex-ing-ton],where they make [horsesandtobacco]"

David Stern also wrote for the Wonder Years, and I think was responsible for the great parody they did of it in Three Men and  Comic Book. At the very least for getting his brother in to do Bart's inner monologue.

Sounds like this movie left some womb for improvement.

The fact that he hasn't gotten a call yet probably doesn't mean a whole lot. I suspect of all the things on Hurwitz et al's to do list "lock down Steve Holt" shows up after a ton of things, including "finish first draft".

I'm anxiously awaiting the Pam Solo meme. Well, awaiting.

Just because something would be awesome doesn't mean it would be interesting.

I'm not a huge fan of Gil as a character, but since he's written as an uberloser, I'm not sure it's possible for a Gil joke to be "too cruel".

From the brief glimpse in the ads, his basement looks kind of like Nick Andopolis'. Is that just because there are only so many ways to dress up a basement or is it wishful thinking on my part?

Thom Yorke didn't overlook that album.

Wasn't it Paul Simms of Newsradio who called NBC's old Thursday night lineup a double decker shit sandwich?

I remember hearing from an uberfan back in the early '90's, when the prequels were still more wealth than a fanboy could imagine, that R2 & 3PO were meant to be the only characters to appear in all *nine* movies. In a world with 9 tolerable films that spanned an even longer time period (and had no JarJar), they…

Well, sure I could've picked my candy themed metaphors better, but it's not like what'll be left of Smigel's goodwill could actually conceal a razor blade.

Robert Smigel's involvement is either the sole reason to hold out some small gumdrop of hope for this movie or a reason to put razor blades in the large pile of goodwill he's built up and hand it out to unsuspecting trick or treaters in some form of futile protest to this film.
