Playing a character named Boner for four years is linked to him taking his own life 20 years later?

My memory of that show is reading an article at the time pointing out that it's homeownership was so low it literally had a 0.0 rating

It's on cable all the time

"Drop the zero and get with the — OH F#!K, HURRICANE!"

Nice choice with Rome & Juliet. Stirringly emotional live version can be found here from MK: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

"You Are The One to Make Me Cry" from Time On Earth can knock you on your feet

Always have had a soft spot for "Lemon" — such a diverse track

"Fallen Angel" by Robbie Robertson, "Deeper Understanding" by Kate Bush, "Let's Go Out Tonight" by The Blue Nile come to mind

Not taken seriously by Alex, but Alex was clearly a very flawed character and Steven was often the voice of reason. Especially in the earlier episodes as I remember it since they seemed to often focus on their 60s activism.

You make a good point. Prior to Home Improvement, I can't think of other Dads in popular shows every coming across as an out and out moron — mid/late 80s you had Cliff Huxtable, Steven Keaton, Jason Seaver — all more normal, well-rounded characters. Am I leaving anyone out?

watched the first two episodes of the new "Odd Couple" with Perry & Lennon. total piece of shit.

Never liked CC and was wary of him being on Community, but in all honesty, I thought he was the best part of the show — the writing for his character was great and he uncharacteristically seemed very energetic considering his career had been pretty dormant at the time for 10+ years, as well as considering how much was…

Her crying at the end of ALoTO…best on-screen crying I've ever seen.

I think Breuer was underrated and really just didn't get a chance to settle down and into the system. His Goatboy was not for everyone, but lots of funny material came out of The Joe Pesci Show (Jim Carrey as Jimmy Stewart, the real Robert Deniro and Joe Pesci showing up to which Breuer and Quinn as Deniro break…

Ana Gasteyer starred in "Wicked" on Broadway. Her dream was to always be on Broadway according to Lorne Michaels — I can't recall where (maybe in an updated version of Tom Shales book on SNL) but Michaels described running into Ana on the street while she was on Broadway and explained that at its best, the people who…

Yes, and Seal & him at the end driving off in a car in the air a la "Grease" — and you had the mash up of "Pulp Fiction" and "Welcome Back Kotter" with Steve Buscemi making a guest appearance as Mr. Pink. So….put that episode in a f**king time capsule!

you had 1/2 the cast (Sandler, Myers, Spade & Farley) clearly more concerned with their careers after SNL than actually doing quality work on SNL that year, and then you had 1/2 the cast (Elliot, Garafolo, McKean) who on probably a very big level really not into being there. no surprise the season was one of SNL's…

Don't remember that. He never seemed poised or marketed as the "next big thing" — he made a name for himself in the 80s on Letterman, got his "break" doing the very odd (and hilarious) "Get a Life" on then-still-very-new Fox, did the "Cabinboy" movie, did the SNL thing, landed some plum supporting parts in mid 90s…

Coming back to this again after seeing the "Off Camera with Sam Jones" episode with Richard Linklater. "Off Camera" is an awesome show on AXS TV (I think) by the way if you haven't seen it. Anyway, Linklater talks about the collaborative process he has on his films, and especially early on, letting some of the…

All the stories/anecdotes about Hackman on set that I've read (mostly through Random Roles on AV Club) seem to indicate more that he simply doesn't suffer fools lightly, and responds best to people when they know what they're doing. i think in one RR it's recounted how a Director asked him what he thought after a…
