Says a man calling himself “Captain Splendid”...

You know, you’re right! They even made Gwen Stacy a supervillain - or rather, her daughter by Norman Osborn Who Looks Just Like Her.

Oh, no - My episode to show newbies is always “Pod People”! The cheapass E.T. ripoff, the obnoxious pop group, the even more obnoxious poachers, and the supposedly-adorable little boy with his pets who adopts the young alien Trumpy (who Crow brilliantly voices as Donald Pleasance!) - they’re so absurdly off-kilter

Best ANGEL Line Ever, Call Me Carlos the Dwarf.

What, no love for STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE’s great Season 2 opening Three-Parter - “The Homecoming”, “The Circle” and “The Siege”? Imprisoned Hero of the Revolution Li Nalas comes to DS9 completely terrified of and unwilling to assume the hero’s mantle he’s been granted, and a Bajor for Bajorans group tries to rid

The thing that struck me watching this movie is that, when it comes to sealing the deal, Madonna comes off as nervous and tentative - the exact opposite of how her character should behave in these situations.

TMI, everybody!

Unless it’s her cover - like it was Julia Childs’s....

“You’re funny.” “Yes. I am funny.” We should all learn to take a compliment like Villanelle.

Sorry, we no longer call it “The Harper Avery Award” - not since it came out that the late Harper Avery was a sexual predator who’d personally or professionally harmed numerous women, including Ellis Grey’s former BFF Marie Cerone.

Huh, this looks very familiar - but Ben was more of a smart-mouthed grump in the version I read.

Do you want the part where my wife and I volunteer to work with gifted/homeschooled children?

Sunday School worked so well for me and my eventual wife that we don’t have any!

Well, he has descendants, which strongly implies he had children to get them from...

According to my kid brother, Lutefisk is delicious if you prepare it right - he used to attend church festivals where it’s offered in Minnesota.

Got one for you both - Jack Webb’s series right before DRAGNET, PAT NOVAK FOR HIRE, where he played a hardboiled PI with a wisecrack for every occasion.

No, Mrs. Columbo faked her death so the killer would think he’d succeeded - which was, I suspect, their way of teasing the short-lived MRS. COLUMBO series starring Kate Mulgrew.

Wasn’t that retitled THE SANDBAGGERS...?

Whatever happened to THE MRS. BRADLEY MYSTERIES - I saw the Pilot episode where she solves the murder by noticing the fact that a seemingly unrelated woman straightened the male suspect’s tie and brushed the lint off his lapels, which told her they were lovers. The final shot is her talking to her loyal Working-Class

You mean like Horny Bestselling Thriller Writer and Amateur Detective Richard Castle? That show was one part MURDER, SHE WROTE, one part REMINGTON STEELE, and made up the rest with a combination of Female Star Stana Katic’s hard-nosed hotness, and Nathan Fillion just Fillioning his way around.
