UIC has a pavilion that could easily house 20,000 screaming Neil Diamond fans.

I recently watched the original series in anticipation of the remake, and the best word to describe it is bleak. So. Terribly. Bleak. From the opening scene to a most despairing "button" on all the ugly actions/behavior in literally the last minute, it is by far one of the most stark dramas I've seen to date.

As far as I'm concerned, this was the great B-plot ever.

I think "License to Till" is a perfect introduction to the show. "Tractor boy . . ."

If you like McCarthy, I highly recommend Robert Jackson Bennett's "Mr. Shivers". It's a Depression-era thriller about a group of vigilantes chasing a serial killer through the Dustbowl.

I just started reading The Two Deaths of Daniel Hayes by Marcus Sakey, a noir-ish thriller about a man who wakes up naked on a beach in Maine and can't remember how he got there — or why there's an abandoned BMW nearby with a gun on the front seat. I'm 70 pages in, and I'm finding it hard to put it down.
