I think there should be separate categories for cable and network. Different financial models, uneven playing field.

How is it possible to not be aware of the existence of Bill Cosby?

Arthur Digby Sellers wrote 156 episodes of BRANDED. Not exactly a lightweight.

Too bad THE MERV GRIFFITH SHOW lasted only one episode. "Ooooooooooo!"

"I'm kind of a hippie myself! A hippie with money!"

I think this leaves Tim Conway and Gavin MacLeod as the only surviving MCHALE'S NAVY cast members.

Melissa McCarthy has comedic strengths?

Right. But in those cases, you're comparing the effects (which are very good) to men in rubber suits, not physical miniatures. Except in the cases of the cities that are destroyed, but the models in the old Japanese films were deliberately flimsy. Realism was not important to Japanese audiences like it is in the U.S.

Let's put it like this. Go watch EMPIRE STRIKES BACK or 2001 or ALIEN and then watch PHANTOM EMPIRE or TRANSFORMERS 4 and tell me which visual effects you like better. Or watch the Schoedsack/Cooper KING KONG and the Jackson KING KONG and tell me which you like better.

I don't think so. To me, it sounds like you're saying building a house and playing The Sims is the same amount of effort. There is just no scenario in which sitting at a desk clicking a mouse is the same amount of effort as performing manual labor.

A guy sitting at a desk clicking a mouse is not the same amount of craftsmanship and effort as hours/days/weeks spent designing, building, lighting, and manipulating a model, as the above video demonstrates.

Infinity times better than CGI. More believable, more realistic, more character, more color, more craftmanship, more effort, more fun.

I thought I was the only one who had seen all eight of these. And I actually *gulp* like the DTV sequels, though some are better than others. Arielle Kebbel, who resembles Mandy Moore, is very charming in one of them, I think BAND CAMP. Granted, the most amusing aspect of all of them (and I say I liked them, but I…

In a news story, it's ridiculous to censor any word. Either you're reporting the story as is or you aren't. And if you're censoring this word, what other words or ideas are you keeping from us?

Time to bring back GvsE.

The villains in every Daredevil film project: Kingpin and Kingpin. No creativity, no imagination, no excitement, no thinking, no awe. With 10,000 Daredevil stories to choose from when conceiving a story, why not just copy the movie that nobody likes? It's way easier than actually putting thought into it.

Jane is loaded. That he owns a house in Malibu is proof of that. I think he earned his money as a nightclub act with his fake psychic stuff. Seems like I remember he even had a TV show a la John Edward. The way he loves to perform before a crowd of murder suspects shows he has stage experience, and of course he was in…

The Dayton Poisoner.

It makes sense. In effect, the episode was supposed to be like a second pilot—an episode designed to introduce the series to a new audience. And they had the luxury of cherrypicking the funniest moments from shows they had already shot. It was a good idea.

That Cho had no idea Jane and Lisbon were attracted to one another is hilarious.
