Six word stories? Let's see:

I hope they never show the kids so that I can continue to champion this article as the most misbegotten AV Club article of all time: http://www.avclub.com/artic…

There was an audio commentary on one of the early season DVD collections (probably season two) where one of the behind the scenes people (Greg Daniels?) said that he hoped that Andy's character arc would eventually have him elected mayor of Pawnee. Obviously ideas can change over time, but the crux of the comment has…

I am relieved that the whole Sweetums/National Park arc has concluded—unlike other story threads, such as the Harvest Festival, Leslie's run for city council, the Pawnee Eagleton merger, or even her original quest to turn the lot into a city park, the plot was just never a conflict in which anything ever really seemed…

It strikes me that both "The Office" and "Parks And Recreation" had extremely talented writing staffs that were unable to come up with very much for Rashida Jones besides having her character start dating the guy next to her.

Have any of these sitcom creators ever noticed that Rashida Jones has never been much of a comedic actor? It's almost as though she has a parent who is powerful in the entertainment business or something…

You've reminded me of the movie "Maverick" (my apologies if you liked that movie): When watching it on home video, it seemed as though the actors kept pausing during dialogue to stare at each other—and, I'm guessing, to let the hysterical laughter of theater audiences die down. (The Danny Glover cameo, for example).…

This was back when a sitcom couldn't not have a laugh track—CBS even forced "M*A*S*H" to use one. I am curious as to what the pro-laugh track argument was back in the early 1980's—I'm guessing that the networks feared that audiences cruising the TV dial would assume that they were watching a drama if they happened…

I'd like to see Tim Burton and Jonny Depp re-team to do a follow-up to "Ed Wood", tracing his descent into alcoholism and the early pornography industry.

Well, when I lived in Orlando, which has plenty of murders each year, two of them in particular struck a chord with the media and the public which were notably out of whack with the coverage other area cases received—the disappearances of Jennifer Kesse and Caylee Anthony, neither of which were comparatively "more…

I have a sneaking suspicion that the Baltimore media ignored Lee's disappearance at the time it happened. While this may have been due to the fact that the police had some basis to think that she was not endangered (her friends apparently thought she went to California), one has to wonder about other factors: if the…

They've been Chuck Cunninghammed?

Am I the only one who wondered why Ron's wife and son and two stepdaughters apparently weren't worried about him?

As the presidents, they can tell the jury, "Look, jury, you're not sellin' me a damn car! With all due respect—I don't want ya muckin' this up!"

I sought out "Deep Throat" on DVD about ten years ago, mostly out of curiosity (the "Inside Deep Throat" documentary had just come out on DVD) and what struck me about it wasn't how inept a piece of filmmaking it was ("bad" isn't quite the right word) it is the extent to which that ineptness—as well as the lack of…

I'm 46 (old enought to have watched "Fat Albert" on Saturday mornings) and feel an urge to compulsively lecture the nation's youth as to how pervasive Cosby was in the Reagan years—I don't know if there's ever been another major celebrity to have done as much commercial work as he certainly seemed to be doing—he was…

Sounds to me like somebody's got a case of the supposda's!

Craig strikes me as the Cousin Oliver of P & R—he came on late in the show's run and forced a few too many character quirks on the audience all at once.

I've heard that solar energy is supposed to be the next big thing.

How about Marlene Griggs-Knope?
