Yeah, LA Story is about half great. A little too much "style", and a little too little authenticity.

My cat weighs 65 pounds.

Well, it is a two-parter…

She looked fantastic in an apron.

I would add Hershel, and I've actually liked Carol quite a bit this season, too.

Um, it's Bighters…

Yeah, they (and Hardwick himself) finally got the hint and toned it down quite a bit.  It was fairly close to conversational tones tonight, thankfully.  I'm not a Chris Hardwick fan *at all* (and i hated those yell promos last year), but i really enjoy The Talking Dead more than i ever thought i would (avoided the…

I'm on season 5 of X-Files and i started it about a year and a half ago.  I watch it in bursts— anywhere from 3 to 6 episodes at a time, usually late at night when i can't sleep, and that works really well with the show's atmosphere.  I'm really loving it, though i don't know if i'll watch once Duchovny leaves— i'll…

I watched Twin Peaks when it first ran, and i re-watch it every couple of years, and i never get tired of it.  I see it the same way i see movies that i love from various time periods, or novels.  There will always be things that "date" them, but that doesn't detract from their greatness if they truly are great.  And…

You guys act like it'll be a total slog getting into something new.  Jeez, if it seems like something you'd like, just get over it watch a few episodes already!  If it grabs you, it grabs you.  If it doesn't, it doesn't, and move on.  With something like Buffy or Lost (or anything, really) it's not like it's going to…

@avclub-19388c9ff528bfad4e1528a79e97daa8:disqus , The Farmer's Daughter is a great tune.  I'd kind of forgotten about it until i was re-listening to all things Tusk last night.  With this article and the SCTV piece, last night was a real walk down memory lane.

Plus, it has the Victorian Tardis console room!

Definitely one of my favorites.  It has some great atmosphere.  I loved all the stuff in the Matrix— the WWI gas masks, that sinister little train, and the aforementioned drowning.  Horsfall made a great (evil) Timelord in this one.

Aaah, that's what it was.  That makes sense.  That's even longer after it had gone off the air than i thought.

Well it's about time…

Anyone remember the special that ran on network tv (CBS i think?) that was basically a clip show, but was bookended with a trial that i believe was parodying the Iran-Contra hearings?  The network was on trial, and Guy Caballero and Edith Prickley were there.  That's about all i remember about it.  I'm pretty sure it…

When i watched these when they aired, i was always drawn to Candy and Short (i was a freshman in high school).  Then, as i got older, i noticed Flaherty and Levy's contributions more and more.  And while Short, Candy and Martin are still my sentimental favorites, all 8 of the main cast members are virtually equal in…

I separated them into "the band's album" and "Lindsey's album".  'Cause the other stuff's good too.

I Know I'm Not Wrong, Not That Funny Is It, Save Me a Place— all brilliant, beautiful, cathartic songs.  His 9 songs on Tusk (including Tusk) are one of my favorite albums of all time.

I heard this song once randomly when i was in junior high, and i didn't figure out what it was or who did it until college (it was the pre-internet eighties and early nineties).  It's always been a favorite of mine, and was the only song i liked when i was too "cool" for Fleetwood Mac.  After that passed, i discovered…
