It's worth noting that this is, in fact, Prairie Dawn playing the role of Piper Snackman.

The other day my wife told me she had cookies and M&Ms for breakfast. My instinct was to start quoting the chocolate cake bit… and then I remembered, and felt weird and gross.

By the time I was old enough to be aware of Star Wars, all three movies were out and available on VHS. I was fascinated, then, when a family friend told me that she and everyone else had had to wait years between Empire and Jedi to find out what happened next.

Jeff "Doc" Jensen. He came up with some CRAZY theories. I seem to recall one where he suggested that Aaron was actually the ghost of a dead person who died on the island and had caused the plane to crash so he could use Claire's baby as his new body. I guess the actual explanations were pretty nuts too, but… yeah.

I've never experienced a pop culture thrill quite like watching Lost on TV. The "alternate reality games," which never really amounted to much or had much connection to or effect on the series, were a big part of it. I remember clicking around the Hanso Foundation website late at night, looking for clues, and…

Since switching, I've noticed almost every Lyft driver also has the little Uber sign or sticker on their window. So Lyft is definitely better?

I watched a lot of Nickelodeon in the early 90s. I find that for some reason, any time the people of my generation have one of those "Hey, what was the name of that show…?" conversations, they will eventually turn to Today's Special. Everyone seems to sort-of remember it fondly without knowing what it's called.

Yep. I was there in October, and found myself thinking, "Thank goodness that horrible bully man will never make it into this attraction." Little did we know.

It sounds like you're thinking of the time she was announcing the Grammy nominees, and she mispronounced Bowie's name. She said it as if it rhymed with Howie. So it's possible she knew who he was… but had never ever heard his name said out loud? Yeah, I guess it was pretty bad.

Not to mention the night Bob Uecker was the anchor!

I don't remember that one, but it's remarkable. At the time, I hated Macdonald because he was so different from Kevin Nealon, but I've really come to appreciate what he was doing.

He was excellent on The Family, a show that never got enough attention.

After that one Mad Men season premiere, "Zou Bisou Bisou" ran through my head for about three months straight.

I never quite understood Crystal's hair in the comics. Is that some kind of space-headband? Or is it actually part of her hair?

Are there really people who do that? Scandalous!

You don't know me, and I don't know you, but I thought you might like to know that this comment almost made me choke on a KitKat bar just now.

I miss video games. I miss my mom.

Thank you for pointing this out. It's a pretty big difference… I would never try to eat astronaut ice cream with a spoon, or let Dippin' Dots sit on my kitchen counter for a few days.

What if it had had Alex P. Keaton?

It is interesting. But while it's true that if PBS ceased to exist tomorrow, Sesame Street would still go on, PBS does still air Sesame Street so anyone without HBO can still see it. Which was a major concern for a lot of people when the HBO deal was announced.
