Not that it could ever be brought back to life in this day and age, but in case anyone is even thinking about a new take on All In the Family, stop right now. Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton were note for note perfect as Archie and Edith.

Well one thing is for sure. Nobody else ever better try to play Jim Ignatowski.

Can't go with Cox because Manhunter sucks (because . . .well, Michael Mann, of course).

This might be the most blasphemous thing I've read in ages (the Wilder diss, at is). One of the most perfect film performances in history.

I thought it was 100% Michael Jackson?

It has been two years since I read the book and maybe my memory is clouded, but it feels like the show is deviating significantly from the source material. The one aspect of the book which is definitely missing and which I loved was how the Texas Schoolbook Depository Building was almost a character in and of itself.…

Thank you! You're one of the few people I've come across who shares exactly my theory regarding Oswald and the CIA/FBI. To put it more succinctly, Oswald killed JFK and he acted alone. And there was also a conspiracy, but it was after the fact and one undertaken by government officials to avoid embarrassment over…

Forget Barney and Robin. The finale was a horrendous misstep for two reasons:

Gilbert's appearance on Stern during which he terrorizes Amy Heckerling's housekeeper with holocaust jokes is still the funniest thing I've ever heard in my entire life.

This needs repeating one more time. Good name?

No mention of HBO's "Tell Me You Love Me" and it's infamous handjob scene?

I've got a weird one. We were big fans of Richard Belzer's short lived Lifetime Network talkshow entitled "Hot Properties". It aired in the mid-80's and is probably only remembered today for the episode in which Hulk Hogan injured the Belz while trying to put him in a headlock, resulting in a high profile lawsuit…

I've heard the story told several different ways. But you are right that the Douglas connection was crucial. For a really cool story about the making of the DF record (including really interesting anecdotes from Nielsen, see http://www.guitarworld.com/…

Beyond the music, personality and musicianship, one of the main arguments is influence. It seems that virtually every rock band which got started in the 80s and 90s cites CT as an inspiration — from punk, to garage, to metal, to pop — even country artists.

Congratulations on making the dumbest comment on the internet this week! Quite an accomplishment. You should be proud.

I still miss everything about the Late Night show, but I think I miss the Harvey Pekar and Charles Grodin appearances the most. Letterman's interaction with these personalities was so compelling and hysterical. Terri Garr, too.

I love Johannsen and only became aware of him because of the Late Night show. That's the same for some many great comics. Weird anecdote: I got to see the NBC show in person only twice in my life. The shows were four years apart, but coincidentally both featured the same stand-up: Alan Havey.

The CBS show has been on auto-pilot for years and was never close to the brilliance of Late Night. Letterman on NBC was one of the most important parts of my life as a teenager. Everything I love about comedy is due to him and that show. That being said, as I watched Letterman finish his run over the past few weeks, I…

It is being reported on Twitter that Tony Clifton is scheduled to appear.

I was at this show with my friend Rerun. When we entered the venue, Rerun lied about having a smartphone on him and smuggled it in. But during the middle of the show, his phone fell out of his pocket. Buress saw it and immediately stopped his set. I thought we were going to get arrested, but he just lectured us on the…
