Richard called him a simpleton when he heard Laurie called him for the CEO position, so I don't think he was that GOOD a programmer either.

"The only thing that distinguishes this poster from a depiction of classic domestic violence is the fx makeup."

You seem unaware of how TV shows are written and produced. They are constantly altering plans based on what's happening in production.

While S2 was somewhat muddled with the Amish family hijnks, the first half of S3 truly made me think they'd totally lost the plot. The fundamental problem with the Castor clones was that they were all essentially the same: Aware that they were clones and all trained as soldiers. As a result, they were defined by scars…

I'm surprised that so little was made of the importance of the writing on this show as well as its sequel/spin-off/continuation, Frasier. What made it distinct was a rhythm to the dialog that was more akin to radio - the Wikipedia page compares it to a radio sitcom called Duffy's Tavern - and I recall James L. Brooks…

As someone whose first exposure to comedy was Steve Martin's albums Let's Get Small and A Wild and Crazy Guy (along with several classic Bill Cosby albums; George Carlin came a few years later) I found Born Standing Up to be fairly interesting, though it peters out just as he became the huge stadium act he probably…

While you may not be able to shuffle the existing episodes and make it totally work after the fact, if Joss hadn't been so in love with the cowpie stuff and had me sitting around making snarky comments, Out of Gas would land around #5. This is all academic, of course.

It's fine, but it's at the end of a string of too many cowboy episodes but before the prime trio of episodes. In a shuffled order, it would've been #11 or so, not #7.

I'm referring to the correct running order from the DVDs. It would've been much better if they'd taken episodes 4-7 and put them after 8-10, shuffling them around to not end up with both Saffron episodes (#7 & #11) next to each other.

As brilliant as Whedon is, I think he gets too easy a pass for things he screws up with the blame shifted off to those meanies at the networks and their meddling. It usually takes 8-12 episodes for a Whedon show to get settled - think: how Bufffy improved in S2 after 12 eps; Angel after Doyle was dispatched and the…

Is it me or does it seem that Matthew Weiner is tweaking the fans* by deliberately catering to the memes of Don saying "What?" (as made famous by the YouTube supercut) and "Shut the door/Have a seat" from the bit on SNL's Weekend Update? It's gotten to the point where I say, "Drink," when those lines go by. Last…

I have long held that movie trailers are the highest form of false advertising there is because they can make the worst movies seem appealing by being able to cut the 118 minutes of suck away from the two minutes of good they show you. When I see a trailer that can't even fake up the illusion of quality, I know that…
