1. The first season of 30 Rock is easily ignored; they didn't find the groove for the series until the second season.

Wow, I had forgotten all about the coverage of this show in 'My World of Flops' here in 2011. http://www.avclub.com/artic…

I remember reading a leaked copy of the script and couldn't wait for the show to air. The version as shot was tighter, but the regular episodes just slowly went off the rails.

I'll say this for Studio 60: they decided to build an episode (S01E09) around the crucial plot point of writers changing page layout settings in their screenwriting software. Finally: television that speaks to me! A TV show just for me!

I hope that it was more goodness about trade routes and tariffs. Episode 1 was GOLD for stuff like that, but there's so much more to learn about!

John Knoll is Chief Creative officer at ILM (and before that, co-invented Photoshop with his brother).

A year or so ago in Manhattan I walked past Steve Hytner, who played Kenny Bania — didn't see him at first, but the voice was unmistakable. "It's gold, Jerry, gold!"

For me that was David Ogden Stiers' real voice. I still have a hard time accepting it.

I gave up on Trevor a while ago but randomly stopped on this interview last night and was struck by everything that's mentioned in this article. Hopeful that he grows into this position, and quickly.

The delicious Joely Fisher.

Oh, yeah? Well, double dumb-ass on you!

Wait, you mean the people who have picked horrible, horrible winners of "Food Network Star" with one or at most two exceptions?

Well, tenting it in foil to keep in the steam from the water placed in the pan is going to prevent any crisping of the skin no matter how dry it starts.

It has to be time for the big Stone Phillips comeback, don't you think?

Also, this Dateline NBC interview: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

"Marc, you know we can't get the next shot until you feel."

But on the other hand it was great preparation for his current work on Restaurant Impossible. Don't you assume that as soon as the cameras stop, Irvine runs over to Summers, who's sitting at the quad split with headphones on and makes him feel his biceps? "See, Marc? This is what a real man's arms look like! FEEL…

I remember the one where they bought a boat together. Fred wanted to call the board the "Nautical Queen" and Barney wanted to call it the "Sea Princess" so they decided to compromise by taking the first three letters of each name. But then they were driving it and the trailer came loose and the boat fell away and I…
