Well, my life is complete now. My hometown has been depicted on TV as a place where Peter Bogdanovich had sex.

At the risk of defending Sims, it's very clear that he is not shrieking the name in rage.

Except that the problem with Scrubs Season 9 was that Braff didn't leave, pulling focus from the new stars even though all the characters his character had relationships with were gone. So, basically the opposite of Glover.

There's a 22 year age difference between Richard Erdman and Jonathan Banks.

Peter Capaldi isn't English.

Are you sure it was a book? Are you sure it wasn't … nothing???

Susan Sontag's "Notes on Camp" made her famous, but my "Notes on Anna Camp" just got me a restraining order.

While in the truth field she explicitly stated that she was an English teacher.

"Capaldi is just a naturally terrifying person"

An opinion that blithely dismisses the entire medium that gave the world I Love Lucy, The Dick Van Dyke Show, All in the Family, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bob Newhart Show, Taxi, Cheers, Roseanne, The Cosby Show, Friends, and Frasier is about as far from "measured" as it gets.

Fair enough (though I don't think I should be down voted for that). When I praise actors or celebrities, it's generally not for their worth as human beings (which I am seldom equipped to judge), but for their screen personas and performances. I personally think that Harrison's Higgins was a towering achievement. Of

Does Johnny Belinda not count, then? If not, The Miracle Worker definitely should.

I think it has less to do with NBC and more with the fact that it aired two days before SNL, during the time when all the week's sketches are being finalized.

Was Nesmith that concerned with making a fortune? Wasn't he independently wealthy even before the Monkees, thanks to his mother's invention?

Hollywood made it happen over 30 years ago, thanks to Lieutenant Hurwitz.

I'm not sure one can pull off pedantry while also using the term "PARENTHESE" as singular for "parenthesis" (not that this instance requires a singular in the first place).

That's true. That Peter O'Toole dude was decent in Lawrence of Arabia, but I never really heard from him again. (Weird name, though; maybe he was an ex-porn star?)
