*Psst*…Doug Gillard wrote that song.

That title was so bad and confusing they had to run a contest to re-name it. "New York Daze" was…only a marginal improvement.

That sounds like a more hardcore version of the filming of The Parking Garage episode of Seinfeld, which was an exhausting shoot for the whole cast, compounded by Kramer insisting on lugging around an actual air conditioner instead of just a box.

He also did it in the '02 World Series Game 6, when the Angels came back from 5-0 down to force Game 7. It's become crass and annoying over the years—any sense of homage is gone.

"And now, like lambs to the slaughter, the Braves take the field."

"Exit question: who gets the celebrated sphere? Young Pete? WRONG! Answer: Older Pete! Bye bye!"

I'm not the biggest Robert Christgau fan or hater in the world, but I so love his line from his review of Roxy and Elsewhere: "…eccentric clichés, replete with meters and voicings and key changes that are as hard to play as they are easy to forget. "

Michael Ansara supposedly had an incredible amount of trouble speaking in that monotone that Bruce Timm wanted. Ansara's natural instinct was to act and Timm wanted him to completely flat. Timm finally got a tape from an episode called "Nightmare" of the old Outer Limits which had emotionless aliens and played it for…

Agreed. Though I'm more annoyed that I had typed out a response only for it to vanish because I got a message saying it had gotten removed.

Her bandmates are her sisters. Chances are they knew this creep, too. They also either signed off on this followup statement or didn't know about it, and neither of those scenarios are good.

I can even see why Sandy Frank might have been annoyed. Yes, he was the guy responsible for the movies reaching American shores, but sometimes he was the brunt of jokes regarding the directing choices of the various Gamera films ("Ordinarily this would END the movie, but this is a Sandy Frank film…") that he obviously…

He was killed in the ring in Houston. By Tex Colorado, you know, the Arizona Assassin?

The Shark: alternately from the Great Barrier Reef, or from "Tsunami" (??)

I think he was just supposed to be a mascot, even though it was played by a wrestler.

If he were THAT pissed, wouldn't they have just re-taped and re-edited the commentary? This wasn't the days of live Monday night wrestling. Honestly, most of Piper's talk seemed expressly designed for Vince to get in a zinger about Piper wearing a kilt, prompting an Emily Litella-esque "nevermind" from Roddy.

I think they were too hard on the 3 Count gimmick: a wrestling boy group was the perfect mid-card heel tandem for late '90s wrestling fans. They were essentially more talented Honky Tonk Men, and just like with Honky the lack of real singing or dancing ability was a feature rather than a bug.

Rey can still bring it in the ring, though, somehow. Even though his knees turned into cottage cheese like 20 years ago. Looking forward to seeing what he does on Lucha Underground.
