    Kindle County? Narnia?

    How do we know it's not his twin brother?

    Worked fine for me. You care, I know.

    Any thoughts on why young Louie doesn't have any siblings, when adult Louie has at least two? Not a complaint, I think it's interesting — more reason to wonder if the show is meant to be viewed as actually happening (in its fictional universe) or if it's all just happening in the mind of Louie (the character). I got

    Peggy's getting pretty well-paid to deal with Don's crap (and, Lou hopes, flame out) — that $100 a week raise in '69 comes to a $33,000-per-year raise in today's money, on top of whatever she's already making. Of course, in 1969, "Just be glad you have a job" hadn't yet become the American Dream.

    But how do we get to the whole, other than by adding up the parts? That gets me back to (putting it another way than before) lighting a candle versus cursing the darkness.

    Were there too few male characters in Bridesmaids? Too few female characters in Glengarry Glen Ross? Too few men in the Mona Lisa? Every work of art has to by definition include the population's gender balance? Does that go for race, religion, height, IQ? Pretty slippery slope….

    What's the proper gender balance of of characters? Doesn't it depend on the movie? If the female lead in "The Amelia Earhart Story" (to make up a title) has 99 percent of the lines, you'd criticize it if the other characters were male?

    At least let them make the movie before criticizing it?

    You're right. Thanks for setting me straight.

    At the risk of being the 80th person to say this (sorry, lacking time to go back through all these excellent comments), what about the quote attributed to Godard (I heard it from Roger Ebert, who said he was quoting Godard…) that the best way to criticize a film is to make your own film? Granted, not everyone has the

    I was wondering because Roger refers to his name being on the company's sign. But a few years back (I can't recall exact episodes, sorry) he talked about how everyone thinks he built the firm but that he knows he just inherited it.

    Technically, is the Sterling in the firm's name Roger or his father?

    The scene doesn't bother me at all. How much realism do we expect from a movie that ends with the main character walking on water?

    This will seem off the wall, but I watched both WKRP and NewsRadio. Pretty crazy, huh?

    It's hard to see how NewsRadio would have been possible if WKRP hadn't gotten there first.

    Including not getting a Hindenberg reference just from, I don't know, having attended a school at some point?

    If Wikipedia is to be believed (and feel free not to, I won't mind), Carlock wrote for SNL from '96 to '01, the Delicious Dish being among his sketches.
