Super Creepy Rob Lowe is clearly the breakout character of this ad campaign.

I remember that the original Uncle Buck tv show was quite controversial when it aired, due to one of the kids yelling, "You suck!" at the other one in the pilot. Seriously.

Hear hear! This is the worst Sam Barsanti newswire item ever simply because it has deprived me of a chance to read more of the Back 2 Tha Life script!

I'm bummed about this because I don't watch SNL and Che is easily the best correspondent The Daily Show has had since Jessica Williams. Which doesn't seem like that long ago, but it's been several years at this point.

That reason might be because he's been the best all-around player on the show and, up until tonight (which I haven't started watching yet), has never been to an elimination challenge.

It was gratifying last week to see that the producers and fellow contestants all loved Bonnie as much as I did. That may have been one of the most loving sendoffs I've ever seen for a reality show contestant who didn't win the game.

My choice for the winner tonight is…anyone but Andrew, who over the past couple of episodes seems to have completely stopped (if he ever was) playing the game as if he was in a fantasy realm and is just acting like he's on any ol' reality competition show.

Yes, I thought I explained pretty clearly up above why the two are related. Obviously the similarities are not qualitative, but demographic.

Well, it's official: The Legend of Korra is the Harry's Law of youth-oriented programming. A show that drew a sizable audience that was too old for the network's usual demographic targeting. Instead of figuring out how to monetize that audience, they just shuffled it off in the corner and quietly canceled it instead.

If you're driving west across South Dakota on I-90, it's almost impossible to not stop at Wall Drug. The signs are just so pervasive.

I have watched Craig Ferguson clips that have gone viral and they were mostly funny. Other than that, I generally have time for Daily Show and Colbert on the DVR and that's about it as far as late night talk shows go.

In theory, with this time slot I might actually watch Craig Ferguson on actual television for the first time since The Drew Carey Show. In practice, I'm no more likely to watch this than i was to watch The Late Late Show, regardless of time slot.

It was nice to actually get Patton Oswalt on the show after the sorta-sounds-like-Patton voice of Brendin Blandin and the really-sounds-like-Patton voice of the Boyz Crazy band manager.

Word.

Alright, I'll be the nitpicky guy. While Pete Wentz is the most famous member of Fall Out Boy, he's actually the bassist, not the frontman. Patrick Stump is the frontman.

Elliot is eminently hateable but he provides the show with a reliable dose of canned "reality show" drama. I feel like the producers probably think he's a godsend. Whenever things aren't particularly exciting out on the water, just turn to Elliot and ask him how his ex is doing with his kids, or how hot his latest

I mostly haven't had that opinion of the main character, but last week's driver's license/I don't wanna be an accountant/You suck for not remembering me, barista episode made him an asshole from top to bottom.

It bothered me, too.

Capcom has been keeping it in the vault, but now they're releasing Resident Evil for all those systems? They truly are the master of unlocking!

Personally, i was hoping to hear him talk a little bit about his part in the animated The Secret of Kells, where he also gets to be an Irish holy man.
