I love that Louie's daughter was able to tell that he had to take a huge dump just by his body language. You can tell that this is a common occurrence in this reality.

As long as you can fart, Kevin James doesn't need to swear. I just wish they'd gone with the extra-bloody director's cut where Paul Blart slashes all of the burglars' throats with blade-lined Segway wheels.

Spoiler alert: the last line of the movie is Batman saying to Superman, "This world needs more justice. And some sort of League to provide that Justice. I call it "The League of People Sworn to Provide Justice."

"Oh you have got to be kidding, sir. First you have taken an idea which already exists, and then you give it a title that nobody could possibly like. You did not think this though, sir."

"Homerpalooza" succeeded despite the guest star cavalcade, But still shows the same bad impulses. Essentially I get weary each time they introduce a guest star by having a family member exclaim their name (Mick Jagger! Lenny Kravitz!)

Amen to that. I never thought I'd be envious of the Mets but I'd kill to have their young arms.

You may see a team that just beat the Sox by 10. I see a team that just dropped two series to division rivals at home, has already overtaxed its bullpen, is giving meaningful at bats to Stephen Drew, and saw its ace give up 9 runs over 9 total innings.

The Yankees are WOT's sports pick three days in a row? I'm a pretty big Yanks fan, but I think after Friday night I've had my fill of them for a few days at least.

A tiny part of me was. Either way HBO has the best two-and-a-half hour block of TV each week right now.

I thought the Family Guy version was later, but looking it up now it looks like you're right. They did it in 2000 while The Simpsons version aired in 2002. Given the long lead time with Simpsons episodes they might have written it before the Family Guy episode aired, but regardless it doesn't speak well for The…

Yeah, looking back at the episode list for that season three of the first six episodes stand out to me as ones that made me want to stop watching. The Grimey Jr. episode and "Large Marge" were two, along with "How I Spent My Strummer Vacation," which exemplified the terrible use of celebrity guest stars in later…

I only really remembered the big reveal (especially the shitty line "He happened to like hookers!"). But looking up the recap online I was reminded that it was also the episode where Sideshow Bob could have killed Bart but didn't, and broke out into a parody of "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face," to explain why.…

I unabashedly love this episode and consider it one of the best of the golden age. For me it was actually the "sequel" to this episode, where Homer's attempted murderer turns out to be Grimey's son, that turned me away from new episodes of the show for good. (Excepting the occasional look-in to see how the show is…

I don't think the BBC is equipped to re-cast the companion role that many times.

I fell asleep with "Call Me Maybe" stuck in m head rather than either of the two songs I heard last night. That song is so diabolically catchy that even the loosest connection pops it back into your head.

You know what? I'm gonna be cautiously optimistic about this. As long as they're just making movies "based on" familiar products anyway, I think it actually benefits the filmmakers to start with as little as possible. You want to make a Transformers or a TMNT movie? Then you have to at least play some lip service to…

I really want to do the ol' "that's good/that's bad" routine, but I can't think of anything redeemable other than the fact that it's a new Muppet show.

I assume that he just creates his own, a la the replicators on Star Trek.

I'd love for them to get back to HQ next season and have it completely filled with toast.

It's a good thing I didn't get my hopes up, or I'd have looked quite the fool. An April Fool, as it were.
