I have to assume House of Pies is the spinoff series that spawned from Homer Simpson's screenplay with the talking pie. And that Ron Howard is the showrunner for that one.

Californication wouldn't have had to change a thing about the Season 4 finale and I would have fully accepted it as an ending - the trial was over, the Hank and Karen saga was put to (what would have been) a satisfying conclusion, and the series would have been bookended by "You Can't Always Get What You Want".…

I honestly wouldn't put it past Jenji Kohan to go through with any of these storylines.

The general rule with Showtime Series': pretend the show ended after Season 4.

As much as I hated the Norma-Religion plotline, "Angie ate Toast Norma" is a wonderful, wonderful piece of dialogue.

I can be the fixer to that problem!

"Don't forget to bring back my car back tomorrow. Just slide it under the door…"

He clearly sealed it with Pootie Tang and his voice work in Dr. Doolittle YEARS ago.

Tune in every night, folks. It's the Crying Cleaning Lady Show!

I don't think it's fallen apart, at least not yet. I simply notice that plotlines are starting to take a turn for the ridiculous in the same way Weeds did around this time in their show.

Agreed with the above. Gloria has quietly become one of my favorite characters without me even realizing it.

Between Piper's panty speech set over ridiculous music in the last episode and the whole Norma religion plotline, I feel like OITNB is jumping the shark in a way only Jenji Kohan could make it. It really is too bad she eventually had to happen to her own show.

I thought the trailer looked okay until T-Pain happened to it.

The god-awful movie itself aside, I'll attest that Austin Powers 2 has one of the best soundtracks out there.

On top of that, I recall many's initial reactions to the first season involving "Piper is insufferable, but the supporting characters are great!" and I feel like that was taken into account with the following seasons.

The S1 flashback of Red helping Nicky through her withdrawl as she entered Litchfield was a tearjerker.

Agreed - Weeds wouldn't have had to change a thing about the S3 ending, and I would have accepted it as a great series finale. The only saving grace about the following seasons is some GREAT acting from Justin Kirk.

Paired with the SHOWTIME™ pressure to drag the show on for 3-5 seasons longer than its natural shelf life.

I believe they prefer "civillian-ly challenged".

The two blatantly obvious ghostwriting efforts for Dre was Kendrick clearly penning Dre's lyrics on "The Recipe" and Rick Ross more than likely handling his verse on "Three Kings".
