Yes, great writing on someone with so much history.

Daniel was always on the cusp of being a sociopath but then he'd have all this character insight. I like how he explained to Lindsay that Nick would be better off in the army, and it made perfect sense. Daniel was a really interesting character. I miss James Franco, the serious actor, as opposed to James Franco,…

Love Becky Ann Baker. I saw her in a production of "Hot L Baltimore" and she played an absolutely caustic lady of the night. I could barely recognize her from "Freaks and Geeks," just from how she played this role. I know this is what actors are supposed to do, but in her case, she is an actor's actor.

I'm in agreement. Having grown up during the time this show is set, I can attest that some of my best girlfriends went through a period in and just after high school where they were Deadheads. They lived on the east coast and I guess wanted to "loosen up" or something.

Having briefly hung out with several groups of Deadheads throughout the 80s, I can guarantee that her adventure will be mostly excruciating.

What are you talking about? Henson Enterprises wanted to hire her to work in their puppet factory. That's skill, man. The most beautiful puppet-maker in the world…

I completely understand. If I got to meet and work with one of the Henson offspring, I'd be hyperventilating. I wanted to grow up and be a muppeteer too. It seemed like the most likely way to prolong childhood for as long as humanly possible. But I don't know if I could handle that muppeteering stance. That would mess…

You're supposed to want to follow Ferris on his fun-filled adventures. But TV Ferris makes me want to hide under a bed until he's out of the house.

I graduated in '82 and our high school had a heavy-metal radio station, a highly regarded drama club consisting of many SCTV/Monty Python fans, and a big ol' smoking section in the field out back full of stoners, so yes—this has always been the show for me.

In general, a movie marketed as "a wake up call to the world" tends to be anything but. I agree Foxes doesn't seem to be of its time but it's also probably faded away for being depressing as hell. At least Kids had that snappy Folk Implosion song. Otherwise, Kids made me queasy, like Larry Clark's early photography,…

Wow. Are you sure you didn't just dream that?

I think you heard right. It was a Real Housewives moment there.

I don't know… Trying to mix art with this show is like making a root beer float with diet ice cream. And diet root beer. The art's going to get lost in the editing, I guess. Still—it was very entertaining and I'm glad I watched it happen. Memorable TV.

Wasn't her bedroom wallpaper like something out of the short story, "The Yellow Wallpaper"? Plus the seams didn't even match. The home decorator in me was having fits watching those dark, oppressive house interiors.

I just misread your second sentence as "I'm a big fan of obesity…" And my first thought was, well, that's great. Yes, I'm tired today.

Bugles and day-time television…

Don't know if someone's already brought this up, but this is the Rolling Stones cereal commercial, co-written by Brian Jones, that Don mentions. http://youtu.be/tiTyqYRE2vU

Agree on all points. Watching B- and C-list celebrities fight to the death over Walgreens walking cubes and Blue Man balloon money is my idea of Sunday-night entertainment. Thank you, desperate NBC, Donald Trump, and cast—much appreciated. And then surprisingly I tend to tear up during the charity gift segments. This…

I would never mess with Arsenio Hall. It's not a good idea to mess with good-natured people in general. They tend to get very pissed off about that.

I thought they all did a good job. What did they have—four days? I can barely sew a pillow in four days. And I haven't hemmed my pants in 12 years—I just buy my size in "short." Kudos, guys.
