OMG, I had that photonovel! There were a lot of lyrics and lines that suddenly clarified themselves once they were in comic speech balloons.

On the plus side, there's 100% employment in Trump's newly established Office of Chemtrails, Dowsing and Phrenology.

The cute, as a species, do not age well.

Aw! Mike Farrell was my first TV crush as a kid, so it's good to have confirmation he was just as kind to fans as I would've hoped. When I was at summer camp my mom used to send me newspaper clips that mentioned him or M*A*S*H. I had multiple t-shirts and all the various companion books… no action figures, alas,

It wasn't pork-for-pork's-sake, it was pork-as-declaration-of-independence. As if Norma Rae's "Union" sign had been inscribed on a slab of bacon.

I don't mind the laughter nearly as much as I do those unctuous little keyboard riffs he plays. Does he seriously think Colbert's jokes need some kind of rimshot or other musical 'button'? I just cringe, it feels so old-fashioned and also a little attention-whorey.

No, that is most definitely McGregor as the (weirdly) younger brother of the character in the first picture. Thewlis looks like himself except for some fucked-up teeth. (I mean *really* fucked-up, not just… y'know… non-perfect-U.S. teeth.)

It starts pretty early in Season 2, with "Office Olympics." His vulnerability amid the desperate neediness was sold to me completely by Carell's choice—maybe it was the director's too, I don't know—to have Michael genuinely moved to tears by his staff's (fake) happiness for his "Closing Ceremony," which he thought was

Does a mere man like Donald Trump really think he can withstand the mighty, terrible storm that Leslie Knope will bring to bear upon him—or anyone who would seek to attack one of her own?!

"Elinor learns that Merida is right, full stop, and Merida learns that her mom isn't a complete asshole."

It's actually "Just light up a room and leave, huh?" Tom's joking about the fact that Jane's barged in and is now trying to make her abashed exit. And yeah, it's one of my go-to lines as well. (Along with "I say it here and it comes out there," mentioned above.)

Gucci! Nay, it was Louis Vuitton, the famous brown and gold logo covers her car *and* her teddy bear. And yes, it is a fantastic film. Great roles for Harvey Korman and Cloris Leachman too.

Damn, did the creators of "Great Indoors" just gank the entire layout of the WNYX main set from NewsRadio? Seeing McHale go from the employees' desks over to the conference table gave me an eerie sense of deja vu. It also makes me miss a multicamera show where you could take 30 random seconds from any episode and it'd

I'm pretty sure it's "Londondery Air," or more commonly known as "Danny Boy," although that song originally used a different tune until 1913 or so. Here's a piano version: https://www.youtube.com/wat…. Kind of a strange choice for the quintessentially British Reggie. Surprised they didn't go with one of the biggest

Squirrels may hide their nuts but they still eat 'em?

I know no one's going to read this, but there are actually several other
series with fully realized, classic characters. Uppermost in my mind
would be Archie and Edith Bunker from "All in the Family," and Sir
Humphrey Appleby & James Hacker from "Yes Minister" / "Yes Prime
Minister."
