The way they mixed it to bring out the individual voices of the street people is really excellent. A wonderfully directed piece.

I would love it if Jim Steinman's epic post-apocalyptic version of Peter Pan got made somehow. Most of the songs that ended up on Bat Out of Hell were from that musical…must have been something to see.
I think this song is pretty damn twee (like a lot of The Beatles) but I have to say I have a soft spot for the Muppets version, sung by Janice & the band.
Gah, Billy Joel. I hated him before I knew who he even was - the use of This Is My Life on the Bosom Buddies opening credits was enough to set me off. "This is a really douchey song" I thought, not in those words cause I was like, 10, but near enough. Then the Uptown Girl video came out and I nearly barfed.
I grew up around Knoxville, and I can tell you that the gags are really specific and really true. The Sunsphere was indeed empty and nearly derelict for years, though it now has a chi-chi bar inside it as well as an observation deck. A lot of people around here still call it the Wigsphere. The local Fox affiliate used…
No, but there should be.
Goddamn spoiler in the title on the front page? Thanks guys! Some of us haven't gotten around to watching this week's yet!
I think I meant Robert Klein, not Duvall!
I also really enjoyed the one where Robert Duvall discovers everyone else's language is changing to nonsense, and the one where the guy sees a killer coming up behind him every time he looks into a mirror or other reflective surface. That one really freaked me out as a kid!
Super, super intro, and the glimpse of Serling's face in the fog is just killer.
"Dying is easy. Comedy is hard!"
You know it's good television when you feel like you want to yell at the characters on-screen, which is exactly how I felt when Don peevishly accused Sally of acting "just like your mother" in response to his lying ways. How damn hypocritical to make the issue not his lack of honesty, her Sally's not saying she'd…
Gawd, that Lou is a prize asshole (and yes, the kind who is great to have around to rake your favorite characters over the coals). But don't you just long for Joan to snap "I am a PARTNER in this firm"? I mean, what's the hierarchy here?
Doctor Who fans, did you notice the "Green Death" headphones? :)
They could easily smoke the meat, turn it into jerky, etc.
Plus, this approach ends up in stasis, which is not, in the long run, interesting. Will the human race ever rebuild civilization? Or are we watching humanity's slide into a nomadic, hunter-gatherer existence? Either way, the story should be going along an arc, and not just on an episodic treadmill.
This show is objectively not very good, but somhow or another I've found it consistently pretty amusing. My roomie and I have enjoyed saying "My name is Chozen. With an 'ozen'" quite a bit.
Vulture just did this list.
Tom Baker's "Doctor Who" opening. Ridiculously iconic.
An asterisked correction is pretty much the standard in most online journalism.
