The only problem I see with having season 6 set in the post-IW aftermath is that HALF OF THE POPULATION OF THE EARTH IS DEAD and dealing with that would take up 100% of the remaining team’s time. How many planes were left without pilots, or nuclear power plants left without engineers? Did any nations think it was a…

It would be pretty hard to pull off a network police sitcom where the main character, or even any supporting character for that matter, was a dirty cop.

When Barney Miller started out there was a Chicano main character with black and Asian supporting characters. After Gregory Sierra left and Jack Soo died, Ron Glass was the only minority character. But they started off well...

If anyone from Eden Creamery is reading this, you’ve just found your Defense Witness #1.

Well, to repurpose the old joke about doctors:

Brandon Tartikoff would never have canceled Brooklyn 99. He’d keep quality shows on the air and find better ways to promote them. Cheers finished dead last in the ratings after its first season but he kept it on.

I bet his two kids have been begging him to go back to work for the last five years just so they could have the house to themselves once in a while.

2087 called via time phone, and they’re warning us that making “(year) called, they want their (something annoyingly overused in that year) back” jokes became illegal in 2021, so it’s best to get in the habit of not making them any more.

His quick, wordless scene in Arrested Development where he approaches a bathroom mirror, comb in hand, prepares to run the comb through his hair Fonzie-style, looks in the mirror then just slumps his shoulders and walks away dejected was perfection.

It took me about half a second to think about it and realize there would be pre-accident scenes that require a full able-bodied actor. Talk about creating a controversy out of nothing.

Just a note that Patton is the guest on this week’s Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast, and it is hilarious. They recorded it the evening of the day last week when they’d learned the killer in Oswalt’s wife’s book had been arrested and talks about that in detail, then the interview goes so far off the rails…

Same reason he left Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law. It just wasn’t the same without Phil Ken Sebbin, though his daughter was kind of hot...

Yes, the inflection is everything. Archer can be happy, excited and optimistic without fear of consequence. Bob can be happy, excited and optimistic but there’s still a lingering sense of dread in his voice that something is going to go horribly wrong.
Now, if you really want a fun show, have an animated series with…

Why do they have to spend $150million on publicity? They could have spent one third of that and everyone on the planet would still know it was coming. Seeing a hundred commercials for Infinity War didn’t make me want to see it any more than having seen only thirty commercials would have.

You take that back. Stuck on You is a great movie, and not just because of Eva Mendez is a bikini. There are some gems in here:

Hell, but Satan won’t let them in.

Azaria has dropped in on several live baseball broadcasts in character to promote the show and it’s worth noting how well he stays in character for the entire inning, going as far as interrupting the regular announcers to do the play by play and call the action himself. And because it’s live and not on cable he has to…

Don’t you know how expensive and burdensome it is to actually wash and inspect lettuce and other produce? Why should those poor megaconglomerates have to bear those costs when they’re barely scraping by? It’s the FDA’s job to relieve these corporaiton of all those pesky rules and regulations and put the onus of food…

Now can Zippy explain the three seashells?

For all the talk of how comics are dying and useless, I often credit the daily and Sunday comic strips with motivating my son to learn how to read. He was in kindergarten and showed no interest in reading when all of the other students in the class started earning rows of gold stars. The awoke the competitive streak…
