When the same title appears in the top three of both overrated and underrated, the possibility of not publishing nonsense should enter someone's head.

High time.

Another reason why I gave up on the NYT ten years ago. That noxious twit of a reporter hiding behind journalistic privilege and beating the drums of war to trot off to the completely stupid and unwarranted Second Gulf War, the Jayson Blair plagiarization—good god, what the heck is that broadsheet good for?

I always enjoyed watching this movie in a "public" screening on campus while eating 10-20 McDs hamburgers and cheeseburgers… a hangover's delight is passing on the pain by making the trust fund make-up in chicks in the sticks gag…. oh to be in the mid-1980s again except without the reagan nastiness always beating me…

The joke in the mid-1980s was that Kernigan and Ritchie were like Jesus and Mary as far as software development was concerned, particularly when it began to mature to the point that there were many, many domains waiting for their killer app and millions-to-billions to be made by stepping into the obvious.

Somehow I missed this happening. Pardo rocked, ruled and kicked ass.

A great album, and Bowie was in the midst of his apex when he took on this nightmare of a production job. While I'm no fan of rock'n'roll lyrics, some of the greatest in the genre are scattered throughout the album.

Given the headline, the article left no doubt: a handful of idiots made a blanket statement that needs to be turned on its head.

ick. The inclusion of the drivel that was Enlisted next to Fargo and True Detective makes me skittish about taking any of this seriously.

The real problem was that the famine that was to be relieved by the funds generated by this song (and many others, notably "Stars" where Dio gets British and American metal acts to come together and create a remarkable guitar solo, definitely not appreciated by the music critics on this site) only got 1 in 7 or 8…

Good interviewee, the interviewer could have done some essential follow-up, like "how do you tell a studio audience the importance of their laughter to this episode?" Or is that asking about a "trade secret" that can articulated after turning up 2-3 times in the audience?

Thanks, that's more info than I had (especially the particulars about the sun in the sky). I thought I had it down, but apparently not—my guess was clearly in the wrong time zone.

My recollection is that this episode gave the final clue as to what state the Simpsons' Springfield is in.

Oh come on. A violin, cello and guitar (the latter two being near-identical in range) doesn't make an outfit folk, chamber or whatever "saws".

I'll agree to disagree. I was happy that I saw those 13 or so episodes. It's true that the production values are below-average, and the writing generally unspectacular.

The shudder is what makes the mnemonic so powerful.

Oh The Bloody Rainbow. That tells you how non-visual I am (as opposed to audio-sensitive—after watching a film I typically remark on the original music, so horror films are a natural attraction for me).

No I've seen that, but the thread seems to have lost the other 1-2 people who hammered me about my question (and my one, perhaps more than one, reply, particularly the way electronic resistors from Radio Shack used a different standard.).

Even during her full on-screen absence in season 3 she had some production credit on each episode.
