I remember Bill Murray saying of Clay "I think he's talented, but dirty nursery rhymes? Chaucer already did that 600 years ago."

For a career politician it's just the ultimate job promotion. Someone who goes straight from an unrelated career to wanting to be president is a fucking crazy person, though, I don't care what side they're on.

His picture is going to be in every school.

It's easy to think no one in Toronto has a Canadian accent if you're just listening to younger, urban people. Like most regional accents, you usually find it in older people, poorer people, or ones from outside major metropolitan areas. Watch local news and wait for a story about working class white people who are…

The Canadian accent is a thing, despite many Canadians not having an ear for it, probably because they're too used to it. As for "eh", it basically got replaced by "right?" somewhere between Strange Brew and Wayne's World.

Have you never watched a TV show shot in Toronto or Vancouver? I don't have to get too many minutes into any early seasons X-Files episode before I come a cross a small-town American cop dropping "aboat"s all over the place.

That's one of those "cute" internet things like "feels" and "squee". Unless you're a fifteen year-old girl you have no business saying any of those things, online or anywhere.

"Hey, you boys stop messing around with that buoy".

The Canadian accent I still hear most of the time (I live in Toronto) is basically Mike Myers in Wayne's World.

I like how it sounds vaguely racist, but isn't.

How do you get a hundred Canadians out of a pool?

No, that's a Canadian thing, or at least it was when I was a kid. I find a lot of Canadian-isms have kind of dried up over the years as people have become more aware of, and self-conscious of them.

Well, Criminal Minds is the mutant offspring of C.S.I. so it's all part of the same string of influence.

When C.S.I. started I was basically thinking "Okay, cool, this is Manhunter for TV".

The other thing interesting thing about the show when it was started is that CBS initially paired it on Friday nights with a remake of The Fugitive starring Tim Daly, that they assumed was their breakout hit that year. Just goes to show you, you never know what people are going to go for.

C.S.I. was a very clever show for it's first few years.

I kind of miss those days when Virginia Madsen seemed to be in every other made for cable movie. Gotham with Tommy Lee Jones is another good one. I remember reading a review of something she was in where the writer called her "The Marilyn Monroe of pay cable", and I thought that was about right.

I remember seeing Manhunter when it came out and thinking "This is how Batman should be done". Nowadays, that pretty much is how Batman is done, and every time I read a comic I'm like "be careful what you wish for!"

I think that's because Don Johnson had "Pal" trademarked at that point in time.
