Speaking of SITP, there was an episode of Never Not Funny a few years back on which Chicago super-fan Jimmy Pardo and Paul F. Tompkins started riffing on the song during their podcast. Tompkins made a joke that "Saturday In The Park" might be the least patriotic song ever written when he quoted the lyrics, "I THINK it

Marah gets weary. She doesn't get woolly.

Lana: "Wait a minute. Who calls it Tinseltown?”

I remember seeing this at the movies when I was 13. That scaffold scene above had people (myself included) howling with laughter.

These and "Silicon Valley." I love the spring.

Starring "B.A." Poovey? I'm in. And I pity those fools who are not.

"Lo Scandalo" is indeed brilliant, but it clearly isn't my favorite since I've only watched it 10 or 12 times. "A Going Concern," on the other hand, will always have a special place in my heart.

"Jawn" is like our version of "smurf."

Patrick Warburton as Captain Marvel. It would have been like watching an animated Alex Ross painting.

The New Yankee Workshop is fun to watch, although the sounds of the circular saw, sander and various other machinery make the hangover-prone reach for the mute button. :)

Wouldn't Simon Petrikov/The Ice King from Adventure Time qualify for this list? He went from being a well-known but humble archaeology professor before the Great Mushroom War to being… well, a king!

Ha! You beat me to it.

I would also recommend "The Showrunners," which offered a great look at what was required of those responsible for producing episodes of popular and/or beloved shows every week. It features interviews with the producers of Friends, NewsRadio (the book is from 1999), and other such programs. The day-to-day

Those PBS pledge drives aren't fucking around anymore.

Make The Alpha Quadrant Great Again (TM)

And begin the thawing of Jim Nabors!

I heard some of their songs like "Ain't It Strange," "We All Belong," and "California" several years ago, and even though the recordings themselves sounded downright primitive at times, I loved the style and slightly off chemistry of the instruments.
