The odd thing about that Bill Murray story is that everyone seems to believe it.

How is it relevant that they're white?

Joel McHale, Danny Pudi and Chevy Chase are all quite tall. That's one reason Troy's character never quite worked when he was supposed to be a football star.

The original premise of the show was that all of the burgers were made from human flesh. The network hated that idea, and it was changed to a one-episode plot where everyone mistakenly thought that the burgers were human flesh.

There was one line at the end about the dad allowing the kid's little sister to play with the Lego collection as well. I suspect that will be the plot for the sequel.

It's kind of strange to talk about Netflix saving cancelled shows without mentioning Arrested Development. That was long before The Killing, right?

It's like American celebrities doing commercials in Japan. It's totally acceptable over there.

Ah, a hit Christmans song. That makes more sense. I was thinking it was a contract killing that he committed around Christmas-time, which seemed like a pretty severe shift in tone.

It wasn't me! It was the zero-armed and zero-legged man!

I read it the same way as you. If the letter was written by the fat, snoring 55-year-old man, it's sweet and self-deprecating. If it's written about the fat, snoring 55-year-old man, it's weirdly mean.

Dude, Where's My Car? had a brief alien subplot squeezed in at the end.

I guess it's so obvious that it's easy to miss, but Travis's parents are both beloved characters as well.

I had a similar reaction when someone offered me a kale salad a few years ago. For a long time, I thought Cheers made it up as the key ingredient of Veggie Boy.

If you like Elementary more because it does a better job of flattering your political beliefs, you're free to do so, but it seems a bit shallow. You have the luxury of turning away from any show that deviates from your preferred ideology. If I were that closed-minded, I couldn't watch anything but South Park and CNBC.

We're talking about a show where the creators basically agree with the reviewer about the underlying social and political issues. If there is any hint that a show isn't on board with the goals of the NAACP or GLAAD or the like, there is a campaign to forcibly change it. And there definitely was a campaign in response…

I don't really care about the relative merits of Sherlock and Elementary. I just don't like the idea that Sherlock should be considered a worse show because it fails to adhere to the party line.

Complaining that a show is inadequately "progressive" is just the mirror image of the PTC and other groups that evaluate television on the basis of whether it promotes "family values." Either way, it's beside the point and it has no place in a critical review. I don't care if Sherlock fails to promote your political…

Stock, not stock options. It's an inherited business. It wouldn't make much sense for Pierce's ownership to be in options.

The difference is that Tonya Harding was overwhelmingly famous for that one incident. If she had been better known before the attack, she would have been able to rehabilitate her image.

What was Peralta's plan when he and Santiago made the arrest on their stakeout? As far as I could tell, that bickering couple routine accomplished absolutely nothing.
