True story — I was introduced to Blowfly in the early 90's by a white Protestant minister with a massive LP collection. His wife and I were in the cast of a production of Godspell at the time.

Mabel Fox must be a witch!

True, but historically the writers have chosen drama over realness almost every time. And that brings up another point — Alicia must be the least engaged First Lady of any state in the nation. Does she have zero ceremonial duties? No pet causes she heads up?

Insomnia oops. And I love Lahti too. Damn.

Cameron Monaghan has been on a hot streak getting other work lately, maybe they had to accommodate his schedule?

The comedy in this episode was too black to be considered comedy, but that can happen in a John Wells show. I couldn't watch ER for a couple of years because at one point, every major character was being relentlessly beaten down to the point where there was nothing but despair everywhere. (Jack Orman might have had…

Which is the only reason for them potentially going through that revolving door again. If the writers had really followed the logical conclusions of the past couple of seasons, the show would have dumped the entire supporting cast and we wouldn't even be hearing much mention of them anymore, as Alicia would be living…

This seemed like a "what if" alternate reality episode for me. As in, "what if the show had been an average prime-time legal drama that didn't try harder all along?" Nothing about this episode rose to the show's usual level. Misfire after misfire after misfire.

And Mary will end up having sex nearby.

Good theory. I guess Carter was the type to get the layout done in plenty of time, but at a cost of quality. Since they had to get the proofs to the printer by 4AM, one could assume the staff have worked all night in the past (it's how I remember us putting out the college paper each week), but Carter must have been…

I just started a new Super Mario 64 game, but I stopped after 4 stars when I realized I haven't really slept yet. (No, I'm not really a gamer by any definition)

It must have been a better movie because I liked it almost as much as PIP, and it only had a fair-to-middling soundtrack.

All Access! - We survive thanks to Big Brother Live Feeds. All the rest of the shows can be seen on Antenna and MeTV. Shhhh, don't tell!

It's not Community's fault. It's Yahoo's fault for getting into a business they knew nothing about. Which is something they are (ironically) really good at.

I'm a Cutthroat addict so I'm not complaining, but is there ever a time in the year when they don't air new episodes? I can't remember a break in fresh shows at all in the past year…

Having a lady's maid means never forgetting to moisturize.

I guess it's an unwritten rule in TV storytelling: If you follow a winning formula for too long, you are suddenly branded as "formulaic".

Something something Alex Kingston on ER something something Doctor/Benton, Eriq LaSalle something.

Don't bring me down! He's a livin' thing!
