It may be too late at this point, but I'd love to see a well-researched paper on the development of what we think of as "Pizza." For a long time, I understood that pizza was an American attempt to recreate something similar the GIs had eaten in WWII Italy, but that the Italian original wasn't pizza as we understand

I used to feel the same way about Dunst, until I saw her in Fargo season 2. She is truly amazing and disturbing in that.

That was the most heartbreaking scene in the entire series for me. Crawford had Davis' professional respect - which is ultimately what she wanted - but never knew it.

I think it's likely that the quote to which you allude will be the last line of the season.

And if you're Joan Collins, your mortality rate is 100%. Chew on that, Poindexter!

Notice how we still haven't seen a clear picture of Margaret? I have a feeling that's going to prove important (and the actress reveal will be fun).

I have a feeling no one killed Margaret. It will ultimately be revealed to be a Rube Goldberg-type accident. But however it turns out, there will be a coda that keeps

Go Gators! (Payne's Prairie is just south of Gainesville.)

It's Florida. If there's a body of water nearby, chances are there's an alligator in it. Drainage ditch, golf course water hazard, doesn't matter. I wish I was kidding.

Also, the conveyer-belt ovens popularized by Domino's hadn't reached Pizza Hut yet. They still cooked their pizzas in an honest-to-goodness pizza oven.

The Pizza Hut in my small town didn't deliver until I'd left for college. It's funny to read this story about popping into Pizza Hut for lunch, because our Pizza Hut

Robert Wise's The Haunting is one of the greatest horror films of all time.

Jan de Bont's The Haunting is one of the worst.

When she popped up, my wife and I shouted in unison "Dub-Dub!" As we did when she first showed up on The Grinder and Parks & Rec. You can never have too much Natalie Morales (non-Today Show actress).

Amy's nametag is my favorite running gag. Where I worked, we created tags with names like "Duh" to punish employees that left theirs at home. This show gets a lot of the details right.

I think they focus less on the store (which, like the one in Reaper, seems to have literally everything), and more on the shoppers. The random throwaway bits with the customers are still one of my favorite parts.

I still watch Powerless, but then I'd watch Alay Tudyk stand on an empty stage reading Costco circulars.

However, on the show last night, Wendy called Van a pu$$y and NBC didn't bleep it. I don't think I've ever heard the word used on a network show as an insult before, particularly one in the 8 p.m. bloc. They also

I don't know who owns the media rights to Blade, but after the bang-up job SHIELD did with Ghost Rider (seriously), I could see him popping up in an arc there. Then they could spin Ghost Rider, Blade, and some of Marvel's other supernatural properties into its own thing. Maybe an R rated series on Netflix. We're

Fox was overtly trying to create a buzzworthy character in Bart. All the early merchandise focused on him and most had a bunch of ready-made catchphrases.

But by the middle of the first season, Homer had stolen the show right out from under him. The rest is history.

Twin Peaks did a very smart thing by transferring the arrogance to another character: Albert Rosenfeld. I love Cooper, but I adore Albert. I am so glad Miguel Ferrer was able to film his scenes in the sequel series before his untimely passing.

As I recall, the Curse of the Blair Witch footage was originally supposed to be the bulk of the film, with the found footage a coda at the end. While editing the found footage, they decided to make it the film and use the documentary as part of the marketing. I really like the documentary as a companion piece, but I

I remember when this was in the Sunday night Fox lineup with The Simpsons and In Living Color. Murderer's Row, right there.

In a review of one of his movies, the critic described him as "oatmeal-faced," but didn't mean it as an insult. That's just about a perfect description.
