sure, murray and dangerfield kind of steal the film, but chase is very funny in it.  plus, as he was more of a main character and not a side or cameo like dangerfield or murray, he had the more difficult task of playing it a bit more straight.

i remember one with akroyd as nixon in his last days in the white house (or maybe after his resignation).  haven't seen it since it aired, and i was only 8 at the time.  i was tuning in for stuff like the killer bees and mr. bill, and i got what seemed like a twenty minute long one-man show type theater piece— very…

shout factory did an incredible job on those sets, which i've bought a few times over as gifts.

here here for sctv's christmas shows.

i liked it when kramer was on murphy brown.

i really love  that sloan song 'pretty together'.  it doesn't rock or anything, just a nice, melodic song.  they're a good band.

elliot easton mastered the art of the perfect guitar solo.

i like when john mahony sings along to 'rikki don't lose that number' in say anything.

i saw cowboy mouth on time (a girlfriend knew some dude in the band from new orleans).  they pretty much sucked.  the one thing i learned at that show?  if you're a gross, super-sweaty drummer/lead singer, don't put the drums at the front of the stage— that's just lame.

are you avin a laff?

i'm sure the show doesn't hold up, but as a kid i LOVED the mystery that was carlton the doorman.  and to add to it all, the guy who played him was named LORENZO MUSIC, one of the all time great names.  and we didn't know what *he* looked like, either.

arrested development is going to be around for a long, long time.  i don't see community having even close to that kind of staying power.

i brought up the cheers cold opens just the other day on the seinfeld thread after the reviewer knocked the later season cold opens, and it seemed. cold opens in general.  admittedly, seinfeld's arent't nearly as good as cheers', but they are still good.  cheers just perfected the form.

yeah, the welles othello story is one of the first things i thought of.  kind of like a cross between the stories behind tarsem's the fall and lynch's eraserhead— filming spread out over years, calling in the cast to film whenever funds became available in whatever part of the world they were in.  the end result isn't…

didn't herman cain exclusively cheat with/hit on/sexually assault white women?

in the shot after she says she couldn't find her nametag, frank's arms *are* crossed and his suit folded so that you can't see the name.

i don't care for community.

oh, but s/he who smelt it, dealt it.

where did he go?  he was here just the other day.  he's my favorite.

cheers did those as well.  i always kinda liked them.  like a palette cleanser.
