But they'll keep making Sharknado movies right? Whew, what a relief. Dumbasses

I liked that they used real dates and had to cook their food. I didn't like that they felt obligated to include so many things from the other shows that weren't supposed to be there for a hundred years. The Ferengi were mentioned but also the Borg and the Romulans. That being said, why no Q? I thought they'd have

They already spoofed C&H on Robot Chicken with Calvin winding up in a padded cell in a straightjacket hallucinating that he and "Hobbes" were on a trip to Mars. Apparently no one else could see his talking tiger.
That being said, always a big fan of the strip.

I doubt anyone saw the movie, so we'll never know.

You could go from town to town in the old West telling this to people and they wouldn't know what you were talking about, or who. He could tell people he was John Reid (really, he had a name?) and it would mean nothing to them. So he wears a mask to draw attention to himself? Any why do all this alone (sorry, with

I think RoyRogers is a "modern Western", like the one with Glenn Ford or Sky King.

I heard a story years ago that when Gunsmoke was a radio show, someone added sound effects to a broadcast. Basically it was boots going up the stairs and then down the stairs in the saloon. Could be apocryphal but it would be hysterical if people got it.

The show I still do not understand is The Lone Ranger. Why does he wear a mask? To hide his identity? From who? It's the old west, before TV and the Internet, when even newspapers were local. Without the mask, he's just some guy no one would recognize. WITH the mask, he's the guy wearing THE MASK! Hey, did you

The Rifleman was one of those shows that distinguished itself by the hero using an unorthodox weapon, in this case a rifle rather than a pistol. Another was Wanted: Dead or Alive where McQueen used a sawed off rifle as a sidearm. Also (as mentioned above) the Whipmaster.

The images at the start of Breaking Bad episodes were not so much spoilers as teasers. Until the end you don't know what they mean.

Gary Cooper's last film ("The Naked Edge" in 1961) ends with a request not to spoil the ending for others. Frankly it was a suspenseful film that could have gone either way, so it's more enjoyable the first time if you don't know the ending.

Rosebud was his sled

I like shows or movies where they try to convince someone it's 20 years in the future. They always have a fake radio station "And now here's some 20 year old music you thought you heard yesterday but it was 20 years ago!"

All of the stories mentioned owe a massive debt to Frederick Pohl's "Tunnel Under the World". No spoilers but I think it's the beginning of the entire concept.

I used to think he was just annoying but it was the previous episode where he practically got his father arrested for pedophilia that really changed that. He kept saying things and doing things that just made it worse and he wouldn’t shut up. He told people things that were not true (like it was his father’s idea to

I really think they should institutionalize Brick. He can be in the padded cell right next to Max from Parenthood. He can spend his days going "Whoop" and looking down to whisper "straight jacket".

You can sugest anything you want about lines because the joke is still on us. Disney has refined line management to a science.

He'll do both. Bravermans have no limits. How many successful careers has Sarah had already? Playwright. Photographer. Super. Parent.

Sucks for the guy from the school. He was in sight on the goal line and then, BAM, the other guy moves in. If anyone loses it and gets violent I think it will be him and not Joel.

It started with the restaurant being accused of cannibalism! Louise screaming accusations at her parents (and only belately admitting it was fault for telling the class that during show and tell). It was terrific from the word go.
