Actually, because of the way that genius offensive coordinators put together blocking schemes, you want your interior linemen to be pretty damn smart. Otherwise they're going to blown a blocking assignment on a double a-gap blitz and your $20-million quarterback is going to get knocked out of the game with a couple of…

Ooh, yes, another forgotten classic. It premiered the same season that Chuck did, and the two have similar setups, but Reaper was somewhat more creative...

Somebody else has already mentioned my first choice, Farscape, but I think it's fair to say that The Middleman also deserves a mention:

Absolutely Farscape. It was a show that looked very carefully at all the rules for space opera and promptly threw them out the window. Repeatedly.

Isn't Irene Adler in the cast?

It actually is in Shakespearean sonnet form, which makes it rather more impressive...

Goldeneye is actually a pretty good Bond, thighs of doom aside. I mean, it's got a freakin' tank chase through St. Petersburg, Minnie Driver as a bar girl, Alan Cumming and Tcheky Karyo chewing as much scenery as possible, and Sean Bean dies twice.

300,000 km/s. It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW.

"...the most advanced propulsion systems available to us that could ever possibly ever be built...."

OK, fair enough. Though I would like to think that there is a real-world Jeff out there somewhere.

Partly? Well, when you consider that the main character is named Steve and his girlfriend is named Susan, and then you realize that the show was written by Steven and produced by his wife Sue...

And the more Big Macs you eat, the more TP you need!

Exactly. Though you could replace "this country" with "in the world".

Good call....

Probably higher than you think...

Not sure that the zipper would qualify as a consumer product, as it's not sold directly to the public as a stand-alone product; it's always in something else (pants, shoes, shirts, etc). But you seem to be one of the very few people in this thread who got past the poop joke and got the point.

Toilet paper has been significantly innovated over its lifespan so far. After all, it wasn't that long ago, relatively speaking, that people hung a copy of the Sears Roebuck catalog in the outhouse...

No... I'm personally delighted that the iPhone makes buckets of money. I'm just pointing out that calling it the most successful consumer product ever is 1) bad writing and 2) probably wrong.

The "single most successful consumer product in history" is most assuredly not the iPhone.

He could probably throw it 60 yards. Lord knows how close he'd get to what he'd be aiming at, though.
