Yeah, ABC just keeps sticking those new dramas Tuesday at 10, even though they have no lead-in and the two other networks both already have established dramas in that time slot. Don't understand the logic.

And hard as it is to believe now, back in the day TV Guide was a *real magazine* that did actual reporting on the industry. The idea that you eagerly awaited its arrival every week to read it wasn't as crazy as it sounds today.

Fu Manchu and Hamlet seem to be the popular choices for films irredeemable by riffing.

C'mon, no way the marathon excludes all Mike episodes. It better not, anyway.

I would submit that Riding With Death is the best episode of the series.

Hopefully it won't be the cat's breath.

So this is the next old-timey thing after Boardwalk Empire ends next season?

I just was always mildly puzzled as to why Jennifer Aniston is the Friend who became a superstar. Is she that much better-looking, more talented or charismatic than the others?
