Get your hands off my throat.

According to the date stamp on the video, this episode took place the day of Live Aid. Were there no music fans amongst the cast?

Yeah, that's true enough. Kemper and Leggero were both first rate and definitely elevated the segment. (BTW, autocorrect wants to change "Leggero" to "Leggier," which has to be one of the more on target autocorrect suggestions out there.)

Especially when her pick for "the best" only occasionally is the best. She seems pretty besotted with Esposito this week, who I thought turned in a textbook example of what the reviewer has complained about on other weeks - just delivering the story in a straightforward way without many drunken ramblings or bizarre…

I really wish some cable channel would start broadcasting the made for tv movies from the 70s. The only one that turns up with any regularity is Duel, but there were so many other great ones like Trapped, Gargoyles, Evil Roy Slade, Pray for the Wildcats, The Voyage of the Yes, The Day the World Went Away, Savages,…

In a season that's already stuffed with MVPs after only two episodes, he's the MVP-iest.

Lou's anecdote takes place in 1974, which was after U.S. involvement in Vietnam was officially over, and the year that Nixon resigned. Is the cigar smoker with the baffled look on his face America itself?

She's the older sister of Joey King, who was Colin Hanks' daughter on the first season of Fargo and Amanda Peet's daughter on the NBC-brutalized Bent.

The man got to spend a decade schtupping Bailey from WKRP - this makes him a god among men.

He was seen hanging around in the background every so often when all the X-types were living on Utopia, and I think maybe he was one of Hellion's henchmen in a failed revolt on the island or something - I don't remember for sure.. I have no clue where he's been since then.

We know who the dalmatians were there for.

And one of those long lost brothers now has an extradimensional lost daughter of his own with the ex-wife of the "father" of Ultron, who was in turn the "father" of the ex-husband of said brother's ex-girlfriend's now ex-half sister who had two sons that didn't really exist except yes they did and now one of them is…

It's an adaptation of dyslexic Phillip Jose Farmer's novel The Dogs of Riverworld.

What a sad jar of hobo urine.

The music writers at the AV Club have developed a severe case of dumbass pox lately. They've all taken to making declarations that make no sense whatsoever and are just factually wrong.

In retrospect, I'm really not sure what lesson that episode was trying to teach. As a nine year old, I took it as an early but important validation of my then-nascent lifelong obsession with the boobies. This is evidenced by the fact that four decades later, it's the only episode of Room 222 that I actually remember,…

Please do, and be sure to ask him about Wiseguy and if he still dreams about being torn apart by lions.

The first thing I can remember seeing Begley Jr. in was an episode of Room 222, where he plays a character named Stretch who gets clobbered in the face by a basketball while he's distracted by the wholesome leaping of a bra-less cheerleader. His dental work is ruined by this and his parents are furious that the school…
