Yup. Until some category shenanigans with OITNB, Ed Asner was the only person ever to win Emmys from playing the same character in a comedy series and a drama series. Other fact: Mary Tyler Moore was the only member of her cast not to have another successful show later on. (You have to ignore Georgia…

The loopiest thing about the Trapper John show is that they worked at “Riverside Hospital”, and the Frank-Burns-like annoying doctor was “Dr. Riverside”, because the hospital was named after his philanthropic family. I mean, if you’re going to do that, don’t pick the name “Riverside”! (Even worse was when…

ALS reminds me of DeVoe’s pre-power decline, which I wish would turn out to be emotionally significant but probably not.  Although...it’s odd they mentioned it, then.

What she did with her face when performing “pizza guy” was downright terrifying.

Good news, everyone!  The Simpsons will probably be on long enough for every one of these to become the title of a Krusty-centric episode.

I don’t know if this is at all in tended reading, but I don’t see it as Kara having a God complex; I see her as having an extreme phobia of Kryptonite. I use that word even though yes, it’ll kill her. Think about the way (some) people used to think about AIDS, or about Ebola even now; the very fact that it exists…

Who’s thinking to check this stuff?

It’s how I diet, so I agree.

Also, the two TV Sherlocks, Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller, traded off as Frankenstein and the Monster on stage in 2011— looking it up, I now see that was directed by Danny Boyle, so...interesting.

Look, I love everything about the show that’s been mentioned here — and great point about Rufus’ jokes mostly coming from fear. But can we admit that the entire mythology plot makes absolutely no sense? You can’t say, “I’m going to send people back in time to make the South win the Civil War and then I’ll”— you’ll…

I REALLY wish I hadn’t know the series was already renewed when I watched that waterside scene.

In my imagination they tossed to coin to see if they would do this, or the recurring Kate-and-female-guest adopt-a-cat sketch.

The closed-captioning rendered this as:

Unless you consider the identity of the film’s villain to be a surprise, the episode does not spoil the film. (I do wonder how long “they” think they have to protect the film’s contents in the remaining episodes, though.) But you’re right not to read the review.

While we’re on typo patrol: there’s “one least job” early in the review where it of course should be “one last job”. It’s in quotes so it kinda stands out.

I’ve thought the same thing about people’s feeling about Netflix. A lot of people are outright offended that this $10/month service does not include literally every single movie and TV show released, including the ones that are exclusively on HBO or whatever. “It’s just a load of crap!”

Years ago I had a friend in med school. His Health Tips From the ER Rotation:

Yes, how ignorant can you be?

John Mullaney has some stand-up on this, and I presume he also wrote the SNL sketch that addresses it:

I think they have been trying to de-age him some in the flashbacks, but there are limits on a TV budget and this is what you get.
