A lot of people didn't get that brevity is the soul of wit. Some of those things went on for three and a half to four minutes and all they did was use those quick edits. There was a great horror "Mary Poppins" one that unfortunately changed its name to "Scary Mary" when it should have just stayed "Mary Poppins."

Even more haunting is Mrs. TeeVee's bottom row of yellow and brown teeth. Jesus.

I only saw it for the first time a few years ago and did a double take
and had to go online and yes, other people though they heard that as
well.

Do they keep the part where Veruca Salt calls her father's employee "twerps" but with her accent it sounds like "twats"?

I hated how it was supposed to be cute that James pronounced his "r" like "w" so he would say "Vewwwy" but not in the Brit accent way. And letting the aunts survive was unforgivable.

In 1990, Kirstie Alley testified on his behalf after a drug offense so it wouldn't interfere with his shooting schedule. At the time, the tabloids had photos of the very unremarkable home he lived in. Remarkable as this was long before he got his own show but was already seen as important to the ensemble.

If I can remember correctly, another sibling drowned right in front of him.

I thought the same thing. Far too busy. Plus, wouldn't his name have been on top?

She was also called ma'am on the subway last week. Sucks getting older, huh, Hannah?

Can we please just all agree that the baby playing Grover was as cute as could be?

Hannah named him Grover because when she called Paul Louis in the episode "Bounce" to tell him she was pregnant, he said that he always thought if he had a boy child, he though Grover would be kind of a cool name. He said it so sincerely that she must have taken it to heart. I'm surprised I haven't seen many- if…

The "Let's Dance" segment reminds me somewhat of Steve Martin's 1991 segment about not just putting on the same old show that night (they still did) but that utilized the entire cast- even Ellen Cleghorne.

I read The Idiot by Elif Batuman which arrived in a hail of praise, mush of it undeserved. Despite its aims for high mindedness, its just a college novel about a romance that went nowhere and the first has some really dull moments. From there, I tried Behind Her Eyes, marketed as an amazing thriller with one hell of…

"Fingersmith" is a great read, full of twists you don't see coming and extremely engaging. Did not read "Tipping the Velvet" but was underwhelmed by her ghost story, "The Little Stranger."

Joan Crawford, in public and on screen, always gave it her all, no matter the project. (Even in "Trog," she was gonna sell the damn thing - and with a Pepsi sign in the background.) Behind the scenes is another story we know all to well.

I felt like I had to take a shower after "Lady in a Cage." It's not that it's sleazy- though it has its moments. It's just a wonderfully ugly, deliberately unpleasant film from the moment a dog gets hit by a car at the beginning and lies dead in the road to the escalating insanity in the house.

Yes, she used to be married to an abusive trucker with a ponytail.

Jughead and Kevin are best friends in the comic. Not that the show follows anything else in the comic but Jughead and Kevin clicked from the start with their mutual love of … food.

You've got to go.

Jordan Peele auditioned for the President Obama role but didn't get it. Not sure why he bothered as Michaels doesn't tend to let MadTV people on his show (Taran Killam being an exception- was only a featured player who was on a handful of episodes of MadTV-it's hard to even find many skits he was in.) But if Peele…
