"Hey Norm, I've been wonderin' why you and Vera never had kids…"
"Oh, I can't, Sammy…"
"Oh, I-I'm sorry, Norm, I didn't know…"
"No, no, you don't understand, Sam. One night I came home and saw Vera waiting for me, the refrigerator light shining though her old cotton nightgown, and I thought, 'I can't, Lord, I just can't…"

How 'bout they just DIE already? Can AMC beat this genre to death any further? Well, yeah, this, ex-wives, fat hillbillies, storage locker wars, pawn weasels and Karashians make up cable programming.

OK, very funny animated series, no question. BUT…"We saw your boobs!" qualifies for genius status for tv critics? Who'd he pay off?

Hit up any comic con and you'll find a dozen people ready, willing and able to fill…

Arguing the guts of any creative work is more self-indulgent than contributory. Like it or not, it is done. Unless you're an asshole like Lucas, Cameron or Coppola, recutting, adding, subtracting and remarking for an audience that doesn't know when to put down the popcorn and go home.

Everything else that Jenji Kohan cooks up. Seriously great little series, but one break-out star is Uzo Aduba; she's aggressive, sad, innocent, and pulls it all off so well. Taylor Shilling has a great cast and great writers to make it all work so well.

Merciful god, she's brilliant in this series and like her character or hate her, she's more than half of why we watch.

MUCH better, bud!!!

It's the same show but an hour earlier; nothing great but a few good bits. Fallon's repeating a guest's best line is irritating, as if the opening "please woke me" humility was in hope of flaming any criticism for a lackluster debut. At my age, I'd value an hour of extra sleep over Will Smith any day. I wish him luck,…
