I'm in a weird situation, because I read your reviews after I've already written one of my own (for Television Without Pity), for which I also provide a grade. Even though my grades are based entirely on how I feel immediately after the episode ends, I'm always pleased when one of mine matches someone else's.

I prefer His Girl Friday to Bringing Up Baby, because I like Suave Cary a lot more than Manic Cary. The same reason I prefer Philadelphia Story to The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer.

When they were on Dharma and Greg, Teller played a man who acted like a cat. He said "meow," which was more lines than Penn had, since he just loomed at people.

Look up "Kookie Kookie — Lend Me Your Comb" some time.

Low Hangin' Fruit is my favorite James Adomian album.

I would not be inclined to forgive people for thinking that The Best Show "started comedy on the radio," mostly because radio comedy was the dominant form of entertainment eighty years ago.

Two hours. Ninety minutes of episode, thirty minutes of commercials. Mostly about Mentos.

There's no reason anyone should believe me, but Hit List actually turned out to be the best thing to come out of Smash. It was put on as a concert-plus-staged-reading in New York last weekend, and it was a lot of fun. If you add dialogue and a couple of songs (and replace McPhee), it's a plausible show.

Disagree on your second sidebar. Everyone's hung up on commenting on "the latest episode" of everything, so I like that someone takes the time to step back and think about a show on a broader level.

That Down By Law album has a tremendous punk rock cover of the Proclaimers' "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)". I can't recommend it highly enough.

It's weird that two people praised the line "The turkeys are hitting the ground like bags of wet cement" when it's really "sacks" of wet cement.

The Tony Clifton episode was great.

Nah, it's fine.

Well, "Montage" (the best song from Team America World Police) was originally on the show.

Tosh.0 is actually in front of a green screen. That's different from the CBB joke, where they built an entire green-screen set solely for the purpose of pretending their regular set didn't exist.

He's probably not remembering it right.

"Brothers or lovers or possibly both"

Many people have a very low tolerance for Li'l Gary. I love the character, but I've come to accept that I'm lucky if he shows up on the podcast once a year to say a few sentences.

As someone who watches Siberia, I would welcome a crossover episode with The League.

Sunday in the Park with George.
