Nice to know I'm of the limp-wristed, margarita, white-flight, rockabilly generation,

Ok, well now I have to watch it again. Thanks!

I'm happy to hear that. I have it cued now for special occasions.

I'm a sucker for a perfect pratfall, and Coop's tripping in the goat shed made the entire season worthwhile. It had to be staged yet looked so accidental that I laughed more every time I replayed it. (Six times, then I moved on).

I feel like someone should apologize to Kevin Kline. His winning seemed like a terrible inconvenience.

This is unpleasant, but on New Years Eve, 1976, I went to see the Streisand remake of A Star is Born. In the middle of it I ran to the bathroom and passed blood. It turns out I had an ulcer. Maybe it was exacerbated by it? I'll never really know.

With all the great acting in this series I'm shocked that the only one to win an Emmy is Margo Martindale, of all people. I like her okay, but come on. On the other hand, Frank Langella is so good they should change the name of the Emmy Awards to the Langella Awards.

I'm betting that this is Ryan Vlastelica's first time reading Marc Eliot, because "abdication of duty" is too generous a term for Eliot's notoriously shitty work. On the other hand, "hilariously perverse" is spot on. In his book on Clint Eastwood, a man and actor he clearly hates, Eliot goes on an on about how rotten…

JC in Sudden Fear is also a must. And BD in Beyond the Forest, if you can find it.

I guess Betsy De Vos would be too much to hope for.

At least lying seems to have taken its toll. She looks like she's aged about twenty years in the past four weeks.

Yes! Great song!

Though Manfred Mann lead singer Paul Jones wasn't a huge star in the U.S., no one should miss his debut in Privilege (1967 Dir: Peter Watkins)

And Chris Matthews said nothing. Hardball my ass.

Loved her Lorna Lynley episodes on Frasier.

i think if he listened again to Penelope or A Guide for the Married Man or How to Steal a Million he'd be delighted.

I love the Moily Shannon and Tracy Letts characters. Now that's a terrifying marriage. I'm not sure I understand why she tolerates his truly horrible behavior, though. What's more bothersome is that no one, not a single friend at either party, at any time, acknowledges it. They just grow silent as he berates her and…

The 1963 TV version of The Legend of Lylah Clare with Tuesday Weld, please. And the 1968 TV remake of Laura with Lee Radziwell, Farley Granger, and George Sanders. I actually saw Laura, but all remember is the color pink and a fireplace mantel. I fear they're both lost.

Apparently Bob Odenkirk has never heard Doctor's Orders by Carol Douglas.

Thank goodness I can still watch Maria Schneider in The Passenger. I like that better anyway.
