I agree. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

While Kevin Eubanks laughs mildly, shaking his head and ordering a rim shot from Smitty.

Don't forget the denim carpeting.

I got to interview Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum in Austin last year for 21 Jump Street at SXSW. Jonah Hill was pretty dickish, but Channing Tatum was kind and welcoming. They were both wearing their bicycle cop uniforms from the movie, so I like to think Hill being an asshole had to do with him becoming a fatty again…

I have 3EB love myself.

Was anyone really expecting a progressive depiction anyway?

This episode was terrible, but tying the criticism of this lazy crap into Oscar soapboxing feels just as old and tired. You want Billy Crystal again?

Some Austin hipster bro took a pic with David Liebe Hart wearing the same shirt and tagged it on Facebook from Thursday. So it looks like that is authentic DLH. And really, what other black man sounds like that AND wears a fanny pack.

Yeah that one is golden.

Now I'll never find an old Woody Woodpecker animation cel!

Braff is pretty solid in the movie, actually. He at least knows his place, unlike Franco.

It was a childhood favorite of mine and my sister. Though from my younger  vantage point the weirdest part was that the style was so different from the big MGM musical style of the original film.

I agree about The Girl Next Door being underrated. But those other two are shit.

When we replace stuff, its typically on Friday or Saturday night, and from time to time programming likes to take a 1 and a half hour movie and stretch it to fill three hours. Its not pretty.

Not that I'm aware of, just my years in the business. I've worked for NBC, FOX and WB affiliates and NBC has been the most intrusive with local operations, as you might expect, while The WB was treated like an afterthought, having its programming pre-empted by basketball and parades and WNBA games with little regard…

FACT: since TV went digital, they're ALL UHF channels now!

A couple of things: first, the station doesn't GIVE the money it makes off advertising to the network; with the local programming in place it makes money off of EVERY commercial break, not just the ones the network allots.

You know, a couple of things always bugged me about the show:

Though its aforementioned disappearance from Netflix would probably put a huge damper on anyone new actually seeing it.
