Lawrence Welk
Heller, I had no idea there were other (well, at least one other) thirty-somethings who felt the same way I do about the Lawrence Welk Show. It was a staple in both my household and my grandmother's household. When we visited my grandmother on Sundays, we had to leave the channel on the "Lawrence Welk"

I can't understand why that was completely ignored in the recap, either. Charlotte was definitely rifling through the drawer with the purpose of finding something or other, and it wasn't a t-shirt. I was thinking that maybe Daniel Faraday sent her, some time travel thing. Or Widmore sent her. But if she wants

Anybody involved with both Almost Famous and Undeclared gets a lifetime pass from me. Jay Baruchel's had an excellent track record, he's allowed to be in one piece of crap.

Marcos
I was trying to place where I'd seen that guy before. It was driving me nuts. I had to look it up on IMDB to figure it out. He was the Egyptian pharaoh dude in Night at the Museum.

That's right, LW! Good call. That was totally a reference to "Lady L" even though we unfortunately didn't get to hear the song.

I mainly laughed at Marshall's reaction, because that was the exact face I was making at the time.

Fact
If Tyler Grady had done the original Guess Who version of "American Woman" instead of copying the Lenny Kravitz version, he'd still be on the show. Seriously, nobody likes that shit.

As a guy who almost made his screen name "And introducing Guy Fleegman as Security Chief 'Roc' Ingersol", but didn't because it was too long, you pretty much know where I stand.

"Towering" Tom Noonan
Coincidentally, that was his professional wrestling name back in the late 70's-early 80's. That tag team match with him and Dusty Rhodes vs. the Fabulous Freebirds, that was awesome.

What you gonna do about it, L. D.?
Her delivery of that line was perfect.

What's with Hastings' posture?
I'm going to start referring to him exclusively as Slouchy McSloucherson.

The mechanic who helps Kate
That was Jeff Kober, who I primarily remember as being the kid on "Highway to Heaven" who was ostracized by an entire town because he had a large strawberry birthmark.

Will Forte
When he first appeared on SNL I thought he was the kid from Small Wonder grown up. Yes, I thought he was Tiffany Brissette.

Unrealistic
What kids don't have cellphones? Especially privileged kids? Now, they have cell phones and they don't work? OK.

Back in the 70's my older sister was a comic book collector, and some of the ones she had were DC horror comics that were basically reprints of old EC Comics stories. Apparently, at the time, there was a comic book writers' strike or something, so that was something that was pretty common in that time period.

I didn't know he was Richard Harris' son either, even though I've seen a shitload of the stuff that he's been in. In the late 90's-early 2000's, if there was a movie on IFC, he was in it; either him or Kevin Corrigan. I should've guessed, because when he speaks in a British accent the similarity to his father's

Yay!
Six shitty songs instead of ten!

Ice Road Truckers and Ax Men have no business on the History Channel, but I like Pawn Stars a lot, and American Pickers is interesting, even if the guys on the show aren't that entertaining. At least with those two shows you're learning a little bit of something historical, like Antiques Road Show without all the

True story
Back when Trapper John, M.D. was on, my sister's then-husband was on a plane with Pernell Roberts. My sister was a huge fan of the show, so he went up to him and said, "Hey, my wife's a big fan of your show, it would make her so happy if you could autograph this dollar bill for." Pernell Roberts replied,

He was also the leader of Kaptain Kool & The Kongs on the Krofft Supershow.
