"Social Distortion was released in March of 1990, the same month I dropped out of high school, halfway through my senior year—mostly because I’d decided that I’d rather learn about life on my own than in a classroom. "

In the Connie Hilton episode he explains that he was born in Southern Illinois and moved to Pennsylvania after his dad died.

My biggest problem with the flashbacks is that if you go back to season 1 - in the flashbacks we saw there with Adam, Don seems to talk about Uncle Mac fondly as if he were a decent guy, but here we see him as being just another monster. So its like the flashbacks were retrofitting the story to what it needed to be.

Taxman is probably my least favorite Beatles song, so I would have been ok with that.

Beach Boys - I Just Wasn't Made For These Times

Oh, another album that never gets mentioned in these discussions is gastr del sol's "Camoufleur" (1998) - Its the Pet Sounds of the 90s Chicago scene. An absolute masterpiece!

Wow, I don't typically feel so much disagreement with these type of articles to actually post about them, but Millions Now Living Will Never Die (1996) is the most quintessential post rock album ever released, and while "Djed" may seem daunting at 22 minutes, it is probably most accessible 22 minute song ever written…

I'm one of those guys who watched too much TV and had a crush on Jan Smithers. Others I remember from those days: Jennifer Holmes (from the 1st season of Newhart), Jan Hooks, Michelle Meyrink (Jordan from Real Genius). I'm sure I'm leaving someone out…

Dislike!

Thats in there as well

"Cannonball" has to be in the top 10 of the most abstract, weird, experimental songs to make the Billboard top 40.

Has-been may have a been a bit harsh of a dismissal, but "Touch" is the worst thing on the album.

So, why would a sports marketing company relocate itself to a city that has no major league teams?

I remember there was an interview with one of the producers back around Season 3 or 4 where they speculated that the show could absorb the loss of one or more of its major characters and constantly shift the cast the way ER or Law & Order did and stay on the air for 15-20 seasons because the heart of the show was the…

Its a good thing Burt Peterson didn't write for The Office.

Hopefully this will get added to Spotify soon.

I think his Update tenure is better than some give it credit for (that may also be because the rest of the show has gotten so bad, its shining in comparison) - that said, I don't see how he has the personality to carry a whole show on his own.

Am I the only one who laments the demise of "Rock Center"? It would have worked a whole lot better if they didn't air the best parts of their interviews during the rest of their news coverage leading up to the show.

In its early days, when its survival wasn't as assured, I thought Parenthood would be a great fit for Thursdays, but now that its found an audience on Tuesdays, I'm less sure of this. I'll check out MJF, but it looks like Parks & Parenthood are all thats left of the one broadcast network I still watched.

The good news for NBC is that the only network shows I watch are on their network, the bad news is that is now only 2 shows.
