The first thing I did when I got my Echo was change the activaiton word from Alexa to something else just to ensure that no TV show inadvertently set it off. I was disappointed that I couldn’t pick my own and was instead stuck with choosing from a short predetermined list. I’d had my heart set on “Jehosephat,” which…

I use my smart device a few dozen times a day at home and more and ore people are doing the same. My point is that it would be unrealistic to have a young couple like that, who are both tech savvy, not using a smart device for mundane tasks such as setting reminders and turning lights on and off.

The Echo product placement was a little awkward, but it would have been more awkward had it been a similar, fake product created for the show to serve the same purpose. Yes, I know that if it weren’t for the product placement it wouldn’t have appeared in the first place, but many people do use smart speakers like that…

You know, after watching the original series, and only the original, from it’s debut, I think I’d be happy to see it come back. However, Greg Sanders has to be in charge, Hodges is still in the lab and Super Dave is chief coroner. Nobody else really even needs to come back.

In retrospect, I think there had to be some liberty taken to make Joanna a formidable opponent in the court case. Had she been slinging hash in a diner, it would not have been a difficult decision to award custody to the father based solely on financial security. Sure, it’s quite possible that she was incredibly good…

Yes, I was going to ask why method actors only do method when they’re playing assholes. I thought if it went the other way around, does that mean that Tom Hanks was the nicest man on the planet for the months when he was playing Mr. Rogers? Of course, that’s a trick question since he seems to be that guy in real life…

Exactly. Papa John’s and Domino’s (and Pizza Hut, I guess) are for when you have to feed undiscerning palates, usually children, quickly and easily. We must have ordered Papa John’s four years in a row for my daughter’s birthday parties and never at any other time of the year.

Did they not have money in the commercial budget for Andie MacDowell? Would’ve been nice to see her next to Murray in the bed on the last loop.

An A? Just an A? If there was ever a time to pull out the A+, this was it. This will go down as one of the best series finales ever.

This is the inverse of the “celebrities” who will feign outrage and proclaim “Don’t you know who I am?” I appreciate that a top 0.01% star will not assume that everyone indeed, does know who they are.

If you haven’t already, you should definitely check out Phineas & Ferb and Milo Murphy’s Law. Both are exceptionally clever and absurd without pandering to kids or lowering the intelligence level. I’ll admit to watching both when I’m alone and I was in my 40s when P&F debuted.

Tried as I might, I was never able to get my kids interested in Python, or the Marx Bros. for that matter. But my daughter and I share 30 Rock, Scrubs and NewsRadio as “our shows,” and I wouldn’t trade the time spent watching those with her, explaining some jokes, explaining some history, delighting when she got the…

Dexter, Timmy Turner, Jimmy Neutron, Tommy Pickles, Huey Freeman, Martin Prince...

How much money do you think Nanjiani made for all of his work on The Big Sick? Probably about the same, if not less than what he made for sitting in a tiny booth recording the vocie of an Ostrich. There are some jobs they do for the art and some they do for commerce. There are only a very few artists who can truly say…

Ken was a guest on Andy Richter’s podcast, which I think was recorded before announcement of the GOAT, and Jennings was confident that he couldn’t beat James beucase of James’ relative youth.

I believe his Oscar nomination for The Graduate would have been in 1968, not 1979.

I think people can handle Hitler parodies at this point. See also: Jojo Rabbit.

I can’t wait for the shitshow by religious fundamentalists and other bigots and homophobic types when they learn more about Josie Totah.

Perhaps you’ve not familiar with Hollywood accounting. Remember how Art Buchwald’s attorneys were told that “Coming To America” actually lost money?
