I bought a long box of The Beatles Anthology in 1995.

The idea was to pay $0, since the claim was BS. The troll wanted $20K. It cost Richard $22K to not give the troll $20K. You follow?

Yes. The way they made him eliminate suitors was by grouping them in groups of three, and saying he had to choose two out of each group to stay so that they could ensure the straight ones weren't eliminated right away. He didn't just choose who to send home, it was a whole complicated thing to rig it without giving…

As a gay guy, I've never understand the appeal of this concept. Why wouldn't the 15 eligible gay dudes hook up with each other? Why do they need to all fight for one guy? It's like when that stupid MTV show "Next" did gay eps - I was pleased to see them, but the guys on the bus always had a better time than the ones…

It was - one of the other queens brought it up in the workroom and quoted the line. Danny/Adore was just kind of like, "Yeah, that happened."

Al's place is all the way in Weekapaug, Rhode Island. Overstock pricing aside, that seems like a long way to ship a WWIAFTM.

You traded my soul for humongous cards?!?

The Rocky Horror 15th Anniversary 4-disc box set was like that. A prized possession of mine as a teenager. The upshot was a larger liner notes book but the discs got quickly filed on their own and the box sat on the auxiliary shelf with the LPs.

I agree 1000% about "The Electric Company". "Hey you guys!" was like something out of a slasher movie. Then that odd trippy animation, a Gorilla, Spider-Man - it was like a bad acid flashback and freaked my seven-year-old self out worse than a thousand tests of the Emergency Broadcast System.

Ain't you glad he showed up?

In "The Late Philip J. Fry" we see that Cubert grows up and takes over Planet Express with a greying Leela, at least in that iteration of the universe. It's a CC episode, but arguably one of the best ones.

The one where they make the Orson town slogan "Why not?", same as in the Springfield song. First thing I thought of when I heard it.

I can't be the only one who immediately pegged the whole allergic-to-the-dog-have-to-get-rid-of-it-no-wait-it's-something-else-we-can-keep-the-dog plot as a direct rip-off of a Brady Bunch episode, can I? Where Jan is suddenly allergic to Tiger but it turns out it's just his new flea powder?

Having never watched G.I. Joe despite being exactly the right age, I honestly always thought that it was one guy named G.I. Joe and he was just a particularly awesome soldier with a backup crew. So it took me half the episode to undestand that it's the name of the organization. Learn something new…

And Walter's school science lab was robbed for meth-making equipment way back in Season One. On its own, that's nothing suspicious. Coupled with this new info, it's a smoking gun.

I feel like the Talking Dog Show is the equivalent of whatever the show was called on Studio 60; something that in the real world is/would be truly godawful but for the purposes of the plot is held up as utter brilliance. Of course, we never see any evidence of it, we just have to accept it because of how reverently…

I started college in the fall of '92, and actually wrote and received handwritten letters from my HS friends. Email was brand new, they had to explain to us what it was and how to use it at Freshman orientation, and most people didn't bother.

I predict that this whole season turns out to be a dream Nancy's having in her coma after being shot. It's all a projection of a possible future showing how it all inevitably leads to the same end and she never wakes up.
