"So this 'Moe's', what sort of establishment is that?"
("Don't say it's a bar, don't say it's a bar")

"Homer, there's someone here to help you!"
"Batman?"
"No, he's a scientist."
"Batman's a scientist."

yo, chair didn't recognize yo ass

Newt's second marriage ended right after his wife was diagnosed with MS

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the Bronx is Burning" is a pretty good book about the time and place, although focused more on the Yankees, the bonkers mayoral election, and Son of Sam than on the music

I was under the impression that the backlash was in gear by the time they made the second season (which had this absolutely brilliant sequence: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

I'm calling it
Stephen Merchant is going to be this generation's Buck Henry

the last 6 months or so has been one long succession of Deep Space 9 dvds for me

hey, they finally put the last two seasons of Larry Sanders up! I've been waiting forever to see The Roast, which is supposed to be the funniest episode of anything, ever
