I've never really gotten the whole "Kristina is a bad person" mindset… until this episode. She made one wrong decision after another.

I'm sure you're right. It's weird too to watch an old sitcom taped with a live audience, where sometimes they just don't laugh at a joke line. That would never happen now.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I watched it based on this website's positive review, and I was underwhelmed. Cristela is appealing enough, but it seemed like pretty average sitcom stuff. And is it just me, or have laugh tracks gotten louder and louder over the past decade or so? I actually find modern sitcoms less funny because of the…

That sounds surreal.

And they replaced it with The Swan! On one of the Wonderfalls DVD commentaries, either Tim Minear or Bryan Fuller goes on a sarcastic rant about how great it was that they cancelled a show with a strong female lead in favor of a show about telling women they weren't hot enough until they had plastic surgery.

First you listen to Serial. Then you listen to Serial Slate Spoiler Special. Then you listen to The Serial Serial. Then you listen to the inevitable upcoming podcast that discusses the podcasts that discuss Serial. I don't know what it will called, but rest assured it will be alliterative.

I learned that forgetful cowboys are hilarious.

It's too bad they only have the budget for 26 episodes per season these days, whereas they used to do as many as 130. That's one of the main reasons not all the "supporting cast" of Muppets can get much screen time.

There is a rather rude chap on the programme who lives in a rubbish bin.

Lassie will always own his heart.

Good insight. It's like Ernie is coming face to face with his own dark side.

No way. It adds to the perception that they can do anything. And sometimes it makes things that much funnier, like Bert dancing in "Doin' the Pigeon."

One of the Sesame Street Old School DVD sets includes an episode from a few years before this movie that must have been part of its inspiration. Madeline Kahn plays a birdwatcher who finds Big Bird on Sesame Street and insists that he should live in a bird sanctuary, surrounded by others of his kind. It reaches the…

The Dodos' town being called "Ocean View, Illinois" is one of my favorite jokes ever.

The scene that teaches kids that sometimes it's okay to jump out of a moving truck!

There's a new documentary about Caroll Spinney called "I Am Big Bird," which includes some archival interview footage of Jon Stone, the show's producer, talking about his belief that Oscar was a completely unredeemable grouch. Whereas Spinney insisted he had a heart of gold. I think the character works because the…

Kermit is all kinds of lonely when he doesn't think anyone is coming to get him out of the gulag. And Piggy has an entire song about her mixed feelings over her impending wedding. I thought The Muppets spent too much time on everyone being sad, whereas Muppets Most Wanted struck just the right balance.

I went to a screening of the movie at a theater in NYC a few years ago, and in the last scene when the Volkswagen was revealed with Cookie Monster devouring the whole thing, a kid in the audience called out, "Now his name is CAR-EATING MONSTER!"

There sure are a lot of people here from Ohio…
