I feel that Downton Abbey never understood itself. They had a hit with the first season but didn't know why. Then they had to do WWI in the second season, and people didn't like it. The lesson the writers learned was that people wanted the show to focus on the family and their problems. But they were wrong. It is

Don't care. Give me the beautiful locations, pretty people, refined manners, great costumes, and terrific actors, and they can spout all the nonsense they want.

Another great Dooley moment.  When Dave comes home crying after his race and says"  Everybody cheats.  I just didn't know." And Dooley says "Well now you know"  he says that line with the perfect amount of tenderness and world-weariness where it could have been bitter or snotty or something.

Whatever happened to the kid who played Tanner?

One of my favorite movies all time.  I always show it to any girl I'm dating.

I have a question:  what was Loki's plan in getting captured?  Was it to drive the team apart before they could unite against him?  And then get rescued by Hawkeye?  Black Widow finds out that he's interested in Banner, so is the idea to trigger the Hulk to destroy the helicarrier and then get rescued by Hawkeye?

Is this the episode where Garak discusses the Cardassian attention to detail?  I love that speech.

Just hangin' out.  Hitting refresh until the Garak theme-poster shows up…

I love Kruger's, "Wow, Castanza's really giving it to T-Bone."

In season three the writers decide to forget about all the boring Bajoran politics that was a ratings killer and get us something we can care about.

Archon freaking ruled!  But I think it was for the Atari 400/800, not 2600.

The 2600 Pac Man was another rush job Atari just wanted to get into the stores as fast as possible.  It really disappointed me as a kid.  They took their time with Ms Pac Man and it was really good.  But by then Atari had burned too many bridges.

Actually, I found finally figuring out where the Ark was and figuring out to use the parachute to get into the cave very rewarding. The most disappointing thing about the game was that your gun and whip were so wimpy.

Cartman isn't racist; he hates hippies, not blacks.

What are the horses names George?

Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina is hilarious.  That is all.

So let the debate begin.  Which show is better given its entire run:  Simpsons or South Park?  I still look forward to every South Park episode, but haven't watched the Simpsons in over a decade after being a huge Simpsons fan.  So South Park gets my vote.

Dear Mr. Throat-warbler-mangrove,
You don't just have to be a DC hipster to listen as it streams from the WAMU website. We love to put The Big Broadcast on every Sunday.  It's great to have on while you do other things like the dishes or browse the net.

Larry Storch deserves his own article.  Great comedic timing.

I believe in the comics the Abomination is stronger than the Hulk at a basic level, but the Hulk gets stronger the angrier he gets and the Abomination stays at the same strength.  I don't know if any of this is in the movie as I didn't see it.
