Imagine if The Sketch Show had become a hit on FOX.  Chloe would be a weird, unpopular character who left 24 permanently in early S4.  Kaitlin Olson would never be Sweet Dee, Malcolm Barrett would never be Lem, and Paul F. Tompkins would be a household name.

She could always join her father in co-hosting King of the Nerds.

Dudek and Rajskub yes, but not so much Fischer.  The latter belongs in "Three Sisters" with Amy Adams and Kristen Wiig.  Isla Fisher could be a cousin perhaps.

Marc Warren was excellent on Hustle and in his one-shot appearance on Doctor Who.  He's a brilliant actor and it would be a shame if people held this show against him.

EGGGGGG CUUUUUUUUP!!!

"Probably coincidentally, both of these films co-starred Neve Campbell." Right.  That's what they WANT you to think.

Nice spot.  As much as I love The Red Shoes, I think the most underrated P&P collaboration is A Canterbury Tale.  A beautiful film even for those who don't share its specific faith.
