Too bad the Kate Hudson movie wasn't The Reluctant Fundamentalist; at least Mira Nair knows how to direct.

"As much as I'm enjoying this special live presentation of The Thing With Two Heads, it's time to go to jail now." "What he said."

The end of "Parade Duty"… Pete and Jill with a beer, replaying the devastation of the BBQ Wars on the parade in their minds.

As far as what Blythe Danner SHOULD be remembered for, 1776 is on next Friday at 1:30 PM on Turner Classic Movies.

Wiseguy is crap? You, sir, have made a fatal blunder that Columbo would spin a whole trap around.

The cabbages.. won't someone think of the CABBAGES?!?

I turned to my husband at an early commercial last night and said:
"We got the following:
A short-timer,
Two black guys,
A veteran cop who does things by the old ways and regrets not catching it earlier,
An adorable teenage girl,
A guy who failed his moral crisis the first time around,
A pregnant Earth-mother figure.

And Lester's reaction when he says it; you see in the little shit's eyes that he realizes he has lost his protection from Molly.

If you find yourself in danger,
If you're threatened by a stranger,
If it looks like you will take a lickin'…
Buck-buck-buck-BUCK!

Andy Travis, closet asshole, became a bit of a recurring theme as the show ran on.

Just maybe think of me, once in a while…

Town to town, up and down the dial……

Which was pretty well handled in the episode where he spray-paints his daughter's frog, Greenpeace, because he's rushing to re-do the kitchen.

Except for, of all things, Sex and the City. A show that could never resist the overblown, hyper-emotional navel-gazing delivered a quiet elegy about September 10 — Miranda having her baby, Big getting on a plane to San Francisco that night instead of waiting for the next morning, and Carrie watching the first…

Flashpoint? The books were barely tolerable; the movie was an atrocity.

So the last image we have of this show is Keith David taking a milk bath…

And now, even this space doesn't talk about Cosmos any more. Are the ratings THAT disastrous?

Mephisto? That goes back to the Buscema run, but I think he was introduced there to give the Surfer a menace that could actually challenge him.

And off in the distance, a horse whinnies in abject terror…..

Read what I'm commenting on, genius, and you might learn something. Or don't and stay secure in your little bubble, unaware that the one Colbert is mocking is YOU.
