From the legendary last Saturday Night Live Sketch that was the last with the original cast, I like to say in a posh English accent: "Where the devil are those Douchebags?"

I cannot hate a show that added the phrase "Gay Jesus Taylor Kitsch" to my pop culture vocabulary and the vision of Colin Ferrell as the father of a chubby, bullied ginger.

We know from the Sony hack that their executives were thrilled with Pixels. Different studio, but relevant.

I have watched the entire video three times. Too bad Neil has a job already, he could be Colbert's sidekick.

I think it was the Madonna/Whore stuff that rubbed people the wrong way, but it didn't bother me as much as others because it was playing with noir tropes and men who see women in that dichotomy is a big part of the noir genre. People did grouse about it a lot though, but I agree that something doesn't have to be

I get a lot of the criticism of this season, although I will point out that last season got lots of criticism as well especially for the misogyny and was generally considered to be flawed but entertaining. I concede this season is more flawed, but I will ride it out because I think that Ferrell, McAdams and Kitsch are

They probably want more of that show they advertise with the sexy doctor on a motorcycle that I keep thinking is a 30 Rock Parody. I just looked it up. It's called The Night Shift and it's not a parody.

This is season is beyond weird, in the best sense of the word, and each episode had me muttering "I can't believe NBC let them do this." So, there you are. Yahoo!, Netflix and Amazon…please…this is good, crazy stuff with a loopy and passionate fan base. It's worth the two more seasons Fuller wants to do.

This did have a strong whiff of trying too hard, but I liked Colin Ferrell and Rachel McAdams's performances, even though the beating up of the bully felt so over the top as to be ridiculous.

Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me is a humor show, and they often make fun of the Kardashians and the media attention they get. Kim was promoting a book and she was a gracious guest. I listened, and it never crossed my mind to be offended by her presence, and I have to say my skin crawled at some of the slut shaming, body

I have a set of friends who are militant vegans, and they love this show. They see it as the ultimate meat-is-murder show. On the other hand, I have a friend who is a carnivorous gourmet and he sees the show as a celebration of the food chain and gourmet aesthetics.

I've not read the Thomas Harris books, but I gather Hannibal Rising was not very popular among fans, and last night struck me as a fan fiction style fix of that book, and I mean that in the best sense of the word. It took many of the things wrong with the Hannibal Rising storyline and righted them, restoring the

My whole family loved the Martin Short/Kurt Russell fiasco Captain Ron, and we don't ever agree on anything. We lived on a sailboat for a while when my brother was about fourteen and I was eleven and we sailed around the Caribbean. We all related to the story, though my dad was more of Martin Short and Kurt Russell

I have an aunt who knew a couple of the Manson girls, who were middle class, but my aunt who was quite the hippie herself says they were all missing a screw or two. Malleable yes, and not good decision makers. They never tried to recruit my aunt, I suspect because they knew she wouldn't buy it. None of these girls

She seemed very disappointed he didn't want to marry her, and I can't blame her. Ramsay's place in the story heretofore has been "the one worse than Joffrey."

So many of the relationships this season have seemed contrived, but Pearl and Trixie do not seem so, at least to me. I find them adorable together. They are like the Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis of drag.

I've been surprised that the Violet as mean-girl, isolated one, villain storyline seems to have evaporated. She was charming last episode, and even more so in this one. She also didn't seem bitter about not doing Donatella so much as amused that Max didn't do as well as she thought she would have. She seemed to be

I agree, but I think that the editors highlighting that and the heavy implication Max's prudishness is an affectation was a bit of a setup. I thought it was to set her up as a villain, which I thought would unfold gradually until the finals. I was totally wrong. I think it was more to create a cushion for her

I concur, Season 4 is the pinnacle of the show by far. Season 5 is probably the second best.

Okay, Mr. History. Now debunk Katherine Valois! After all, I am totally on board with the princesses were never forced by circumstances or families into marriages with men who hurt themselves or their families. Everyone was all about love then.
