I find it largely on par with The Sopranos. That's more of a dig at The Sopranos than praise for Boardwalk Empire.

No. Just, . . no. That was NOT "as happy an ending as a character like him could muster." He was inches away from living the fantasy he played in his mind as he died.

I spent the extra dollar for Ariana Venti. Wasn't worth it.

I could forgive them most of it, . . the not giving me what I want. But I am having trouble forgiving not allowing Richard the happy ending I wanted for him. That one sticks in my craw.

It's like Open Water. IN SPACE!!!!!!

The only way to watch SYTYCD is to record it and fast-forward through everything except the dancing. Every other aspect of the show is brutal.

I think it also confounded him. I lost a certain amount of respect for him when, as serious media commentator, he hid behind the jester veil.

Don't know. But the Kung Pao chicken is excellent.

Looking good in orange was the deciding factor in taking the Home Depot job instead of the one at Lowe's.

Why is Zack 10 years old?

Jon Stewart kind of turned me off a few years ago, but I absolutely love what Oliver is doing on Last Week Tonight.

The guy on Levine's right is Paul Rudd combined with Rory Cochrane, . . right?

I'm often thinking of Gallagher. But not in this case.

Coming to H2 next spring.

When he signed on for Predators, I think he was announcing to the world that he just doesn't give a shit.

Tyler Perry's Manhatin' is coming to TBS next year. It's about a group of sassy women who get together to talk about how crappy their relationships are.

If the only cost would have been the obliteration of London, . . eh, I'm on the fence.

Me too. I am astonished at how good this show is turning to be. It might be the best drama on TV right now.

How about coverage of WGN's Manhattan? Which has turned out to be surprisingly smart and sophisticated.

I cut him some slack because he had to live his life with his first name misspelled. That had to be tough.
