Maybe they couldn't use the name "Tom Lawyer" because NBC had already grabbed that name for a live action "Tom and Jerry" spinoff where Tom is a prosecutor fighting mouse-crime.

It could be the same casino operator from House of Cards, so we could one day get the House of Cards/Huck Finn crossover everybody's been secretly wanting.

Oh, and they won't use Rush's Tom Sawyer, because they'd actually have to pay for that.

Afro Jim will be a hairdresser, played by Rupaul in a variety of brightly colored Afro wigs. Afro Jim's hairdressing salon is in the same strip mall as Huck and Tom's low rent law office. He occasionally helps them with his street wisdom, and provides comedy relief.

I was kind of hoping we'd all find out that Deez Nuts was actually Joe Biden.

Sweet monkey jesus!

I read that book when I was eleven and thought it was the funniest goddamn thing ever.

For the love of god, why?

I bought a new tv and found that I, too, now have four different PBS channels, including one that is nothing but obscure cooking shows and one that is state legislators staring grumpily at each other.

"Kill The Walking Dead With This One Weird Tip!"

Since it takes place in LA, you could have the Friends cast play themselves. Instead of having David Schwimmer show up and play an LA dentist or something, he could play 90s celebrity David Schwimmer. Seeing the group get fed up with David Schwimmer and leave him for zombies to eat would be pretty fun.

I'm pretty sure you're not going to get that from a show focusing on random LA residents coping with a zombie outbreak. This is not going to be "Walking Dead: Origins" focusing on plucky zombie experts at the CDC. You got as much explanation as you're going to get from the CDC guy in the original "Walking Dead."

Me too.
"It's….SPEC-TERRR!"

Tom Jones is still alive.

Indeed.

Is Shirley Bassey dead?

Hot dogs are a buck fifty at Costco, but they come with a drink. If I'm buying tens of millions of hot dogs, how do I factor out the drink cost? Also, do you have an investment newsletter I could subscribe to?

There's a Kenneth Branagh remake?

I enjoy the dread tricks at Smolive Smarden.
