What was David Bowie buying at the bookstore? I'd like to think it was something really bizarre and awesome. (And that the no-cash cash register inspired him to compose a song as funny as "Little Fat Man" on Extras.)

I always loved the Buffy scene (in S2E1, "When She Was Bad") where Cibo Matto plays "Sugar Water" at the Bronze… It fits wonderfully into this underrated episode.

I'm still not over my crush on Noel Wells. At least she was there long enough to be in the Twin Bed video, and starred in the spot-on Girls parody (with Tina Fey as Blerta).

"Effortlessly funny" has not often been used to describe the SNL of any era. Hader, Samberg, Wiig are all big talents, but didn't they have to slog through terrible Californians sketches and lots of other junk? Fey and Poehler wrote or performed plenty of duds in their tenure too. We remember the best stuff of…

Dratch is actually in the movie? She didn't get replaced by Jane Krakowski?

I dunno, those guys' voices have aged an awful lot.

Kristy Swanson was a pretty good Buffy (and was better in the action scenes than her TV counterpart).

Craig Kilborn did not host Talk Soup, though I can see why one might think he did (briefly, and not as well as his successors). You are thinking of Greg Kinnear.

Well, anyway… The answer is Television Without Pity's recap of a second-season episode of House M.D., when House and Stacy are stuck overnight in an airport.

TRIVIA: That airport (BWI) was once referred to as "Plotimore Contrivance Airport" in a piece written about a television episode. Can you name the website, and the show?

Six months and Bobby still hasn't found my rosebud.

Didn't know this was still on, since "E!" was totally unworthy of Favorite Channel status when setting up FIOS (i.e. the only channels I'll ever see on the guide; browsing in Favorite mode is so much less annoying).

I thought the writing for the Krelboynes was hilarious, and a particular strength of the show, especially those first few seasons. (They even got great mileage from the one-note joke of Stevie's asthma.) They were my favorite TV nerds. Why hardly any girls though? The show is already so male-heavy in the family, I…

Anybody remember whether Lois having another baby was seen as the annoying TV trope it typically is? Or if the show was trying to mock that trope somehow? Because this show is anything but cheesy & sentimental, like so many shows that go this route.

Absolutely. In seasons 3-4-5-6 especially (with plenty of other fine episodes as well), KOTH was brilliant. Wonderful characters and writing, a uniquely realistic animated comedy. And despite some fans' assertion that it could have been live-action, it really is better in animation.

"Don't Trust the Meat South of Canal Street."

I give him a pass; he anchored the show that brought us Myra (Urkel's girlfriend), who was positively bursting off the screen with bounteous charm.

It's like saying "that sexpot from 227" instead of naming the incomparable Jackée.

I can't believe this headline just says "The dad from Family Matters," as if Reginald VelJohnson weren't a household name.

That song, "Goodbye" by Apparat (which underscored Gus Fring's unwitting walk to his death in "Face Off"), put me in mind of some music used for Game of Thrones trailers in its later seasons. Another show with extraordinary, gorgeous wide-shots. These two series, plus Mad Men, have been the most compelling reasons…
