FUN FACT: Popeyes Chicken was named after Gene Hackman’s character Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle from the movie The French Connection; however, there is a burger chain called Wimpy that took its name from the Thimble Theater character J. Wellington Wimpy (“I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.”).

I warned Popeye of this exact thing.

She was in the Colonel Angus sketch. Does that count?

Isn’t the pay for the Doctor’s actor specified in a foundational British document like the Magna Carta?

The movies will all be released when they figure out how to change The Weinstein Company to The Plummer Company, and have Christopher retroactively produce them

That’s like that old Johnny Carson joke (which I still like), saying they were going to convert his movies from stable film stock to flammable nitrate.

Follow-up newswire: People of Saudi Arabia immediately demand film ban be reinstated.

A lot of actors are doing this lately. Do a Woody Allen movie, then denounce him. They are trying to have thier cake and eat it too. If you feel so strongly that he’s guilty of the stuff he’s been accused of, than show some conviction and don’t do the movie. IDK, maybe it’s just me. It’s awfully convenient to find…

He’s just bitter the White House administration stole his shtick and is more successful at it.

Depends on the demographics. If you’re only pulling poor middle aged white men in Alabama, even if it’s all of them, you can’t charge high prices for ads, because those people just don’t have a lot of disposable income.

It was never the same after Tim killed Wilson with his riding mower and they had to replace him with an owl.

That’s deep space cold, man.

So this show (which I’d never heard of until it got cancelled) was on the air for six years? That’s pretty decent by today’s standards. The way some people were complaining I assumed it got canned in season 2. Maybe just say you had a good run and move on, Timmy.

“What can I say about our next two presenters? The first is an actor, producer, writer and director whose movies have grossed over $3.5bn at the box office. He’s won two Academy Awards and three Golden Globes for his powerful and varied performances starring in such films as Philadelphia, Forrest Gump, Castaway,…

Ugh, we don’t need to see her origins yet again. Everyone knows she was bitten by a radioactive African-American woman who was attending her husband’s funeral.

The fake commercial breaks are absolutely there for purposes of airing the show on television — there would be no reason to limit each episode of the show to approximately 90 minutes if they were purely for pacing purposes.

I’ve been wondering if any Netflix show would or could ever ended up on a network. The MST3000 reboot contains fake commercial breaks, ostensibly for nostalgia’s sake. But I’ve always suspected they were hedging their bets by making it more advertiser-friendly at the same time. 

That’s weird. Because when I mentioned this very thing happening a few months ago, everybody said it was never going to happen, and I was an idiot for bringing it up. But it turns out that studios like money. Who would have guessed?

This show sounds less like something CK would’ve done before his career was destroyed, and more like something he’ll do in ten years when he’s trying to rebuild it.

As I understand it, no one ever wanted to see him as a dick on the beat, but he kept forcing them to. Hopefully, this will put and end to it.
