love them. chiming guitars, melodic vocals…appeals to me

its got to be better than the Richard Crenna/Paul Gross version.

suddenly last summer is crap, but you had already lost all credibility by including Gwen Stefani. excuse me while I try not to vomit.

Pump Up the Volume. No adult in this film has any sense at all. Christian Slater was so good in it.

I adore TMBG, but their parody lyrics to this song are incredibly bad.

my sister is currently obsessed with reruns of Barney Miller, and he seems like pretty much an ideal boss. He's humane, articulate, tolerant, and sees the humor in the chaos around him. He has my vote.

Freedy Johnston Evie's Garden and Evie's Tears: same melody, different lyrics.

My favorite Tucker quote is the phone sign off "Fuckety 'bye".
My most frequently used quote comes from the film "Chicken Run" and is "But I don't want to be a pie!"

Slater, Mathis, and Ross are all good, but you left out Mimi Kennedy, Ellen Greene, and James Hampton as the FCC official. I always think of Hampton as the good ol' boy from Burt Reynolds movies, but he was so good as the personification of adult authority that he hardly seems like the same guy.

May I mention the "My Name is Earl" Cops episode?

I liked the book, and was looking forward to seeing the film (Callum Keith Rennie and Helena Bonham Carter seem like such good casting as the parents) When it languished for so long after its release elsewhere, I wondered what happened. I'll probably still see it even with the tepid review. I do recommend the book…

I always get Sleuth and Deathtrap mixed up. They're basically the same plot, right?

Glenn Quinn and Andy Hallett, gone much too soon.

This was the best of the whole "Hatesong" series. "I'm disappointed in Paul." Perfect.

Hard to believe that Cicely Tyson wasn't recognized long before this.

Adam Goldberg's "The Goldbergs" is the second TV show with that name. The first one aired before either of the Adam Goldbergs were born (1949-1956), so they usurped it's identity first.

go to YouTube and look up George Jones' Kennedy Center honors. W was getting down to this song.

I remember the protests against him for kissing Streisand in the movie "Funny Girl" (in character) because she was a Jew, and his gallant dismissal of the hatemongers.

this is one of the "can you separate the artist from the art" moments. AB has been great in everything I've seen with his acting, and I think I'd be diminished if I hadn't seen them. A guy like Ted Nugent, whose talent I find negligible, I have an easier time dismissing. (also TN is an outright racist, homophobic,…
