Nobody will see this comment, two years late, but I'm reminiscing about the great early years of ER and just want to say YEAH Nurse Wendy! I had the biggest crush on that cute little honey.

You are correct - it was KARR! Right before it swerved off a cliff and plunged into the ocean while saying "NOOOOO!"

While channel-surfing I happened upon the pilot episode tonight, but promptly moved on. I refuse to watch anything with a fucking hashtag on the screen. Sorry, idiotic networks, but sensible people have to draw the line somewhere.

I have such fond memories of when I was relevant… So very long ago.

Oh, come on now… Rex Harrison was a rare exception, and Grossmith's comic roles in the G&S operettas have since been played mostly by much stronger singers, thank goodness. For the last several generations of Broadway productions, the bar's been set pretty high for vocal ability, even in small parts.

Phantom of the Opera has some catchy music at times; certain parts of the extended sequences, the throwback style for Firmin & Andre, etc… also Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again is a better song than most of Webber. At least Phantom has a decent story; the entirety of Cats seemed pointless to me.

And now, apparently, the stage musical joins the list of genres which no longer require that its stars know how to sing! Wonderful.

Webber must really be off his rocker. He doesn't think that, say, Kipling could have easily written a line like that?

Mrs. Ross guffawing when they learn the cabin burned down is priceless.

Yup, gotta be American, because there aren't any cocksure people in Europe or anywhere else, no siree.

And the big sweater and dark glasses make it even better (Kramer in full disguise mode).

That line, the actress' reading of it, and Kramer's reaction, was one of my favorite little bits in all of Seinfeld. It's such a silly thing, but it's absolutely perfect in that context.

So when hiring a new girl, you should "look inside" 37% of the available broads? Sounds about right. Then be sure to give 'em a nice slap on the tookus as they walk away.

She's still Swedish, so there's always a good chance of nudity. Her toplessness in The Comeback was particularly gratuitous.

But will Malin Akerman be wearing a shirt? Because I DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT!

What about Littlefinger and his jetpack?

How about anagrams? Call her Grey Tit.

Big foreheads are all the rage in Westeros.
