If I watch this show and see someone walking into a scene, who's wearing a turtleneck and a stickpin button of a penny-farthing bicycle with the number "6" on it… then I'll know that the Good Place might also be The Village, and that the show is really why Kristen Bell resigned from new episodes of Veronica Mars…

I was bummed that they never played at a specific legendary New York nightclub. Man, what a bill. AC/DC at CBGB.

Surprisingly, they didn't go with Schenectady, New York - a town whose name encompasses the three best places to kiss a woman's body.

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce you to the Kip Adotta Appreciation Society!

Would have been more fun to get the rights to the Electric Football championships. My 67 Big Men need a challenge right now!

If you think this Dragnet drug episode was over the top, you should hear some of the Dragnet radio dramas, several of them go way over the top about both marijuana and heroin usage.

Wait… not one mention for David Geddes' "Run Joey Run"? Guy knocks up teen girl, dad finds out, dad's gonna kill guy, guy runs over to the house, dad pulls gun, girl jumps in the way of the bullet… and the song hits the Top 5 in 1975…

Oh beautiful, for spacious skies, for fifty shades of gray…
For mon-o-chromatic majesties
That look completely plain…

Grease wasn't a two-hour film about the last moments of a dying woman. That would have been the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie.

You mean to tell me there was NO WAY they couldn't get the rights to the characters from Thundarr the Barbarian for this show instead of this generic He-Man ripoff? That would have been a much better show.

Hey, they could get some sponsorship from an underarm deodorant company… then they could be "Old Spice Girls," figuratively and literally.

I hear the drinks only come in two sizes - Biggie and Smalls.

That cyclone locked onto the Survivor cast like it had the eye of the tiger.

Well if they're resurrecting old VH1 dating shows as reboots, can we get a reboot of Megan Wants a Millionaire, complete with James Franco as Ryan Jenkins?

$150 million? I just heard George Lazenby would reprise the roll of Bond for $35 and a DVD copy of The Man From Hong Kong.

So nice to hear that Garfunkel and Oates got a star on the Walk of Fame.

Oh man, and I was hoping Greg Berlanti would have gotten around to debuting the relationship drama Wendy, Marvin and Wonderdog for CBS.

Would have preferred to see her in the live-action remake of the Schoolhouse Rock series. Wouldn't mind unpacking her adjectives…

Call me when they do a scripted drama about Judge Marilyn Milian. Rawr…

Wacky Packages still rule.
