So, somebody finally figured out what a Lazarus Pit is for. About time.

"I'm tired of all this motherfuckin' protoplasm eating all these motherfuckin' people!"

Yeah, the Subway thing was a little different, but it had the advantage of appealing directly to an advertiser, and that advertiser was doing some of the most blatant product placement advertising on television, but fans of the show were OK with it. I think I heard about it for that reason. I didn't hear anything…

I think there's a different reason why these campaigns can work, and often do not work. It's not that executives are dummies who don't suspect that certain shows have fans. They trust the Nielsens, or more precisely, because the Nielsen ratings set ad prices, they care more about good Nielsen numbers than the "true"…

All of this could have been avoided if she had remembered to bring one of these along:

Oops.

White skin and a penis are also helpful, but not mandatory.

Calm down. You sound like someone who hasn't been getting their required eight glasses of water a day.

He's still saving up to finance the destruction of every copy of the pictures of him in blackface.

The American Idol finale as the first Hunger Games seems like something that could accomplish that.

Fair enough, substitute a "have enough of a sort of feral cleverness borne of laziness" for "are smart enough", if that helps.

Next time the cops will know to plant more meth.

I think most viewers are smart enough to realize the last couple episodes are the only ones that would do anything dramatic. Anyone who stopped watching in the last few years will probably only check back in for thsoe. So might as well cut to the chase.

"I can't convict, the footage from that ATM camera two blocks away was kinda blurry. Also something DNA something."

An opening monologue that didn't turn into a musical number? I thought that would win all the prizes.

In fairness, the cigarette ads that come with the back to the '50s strategy will be very lucrative.

Baloo's origin is that he was bitten by a radioactive hippie. Who doesn't want to see that.

In Brimstone Satan was played by the delightful John Glover (warming up for Lionel Luthor). There was no time travel, though the various escapees were from various time periods, perhaps that' what you are thinking of. And I think it was better than you do, but that's fine.

God is OK with the reanimated corpse thing, it's the uncomfortable resemblance to Joe Piscopo's Dead Heat that is provoking divine retribution.

The occult stuff was creepy, but it didn't amount to much in the end.
