I love humorously awful, selfish, dysfunctional characters who are all id. It's Always Sunny is my ultimate sweet spot..but George Costanza remains my all-time favorite TV character.

The lack of chemistry between them was what made their relationship so hilarious. I'm kind of surprised Alexander had a hard time with her—he seemed to click well with just about everyone he worked with on Seinfeld. It never seemed like an obvious lack of chemistry between actors to me, just a lack of chemistry…

That's my favorite performance of hers, too. One of my favorite movies, actually.

It has to do with the black hole mouth of Patricia Heaton.

My husband and I saw it tonight, and it was rude, crude and (mostly) extremely funny. Basically just what the doctor ordered after this shit-fest of a week. The whole theater was laughing. Stephen Root was completely wasted, though, which made me sad.

I'm sorry. I have been there, when even the stuff you relied on to make you smile—doesn't. It's an awful feeling. Keep putting one foot in front of the other…it is possible to get better. It takes time and it's hard and it sucks ass, but it is possible. Someday you'll be laughing at Trumpy and Mr B Natural again.

I love that part, too. (I love the whole movie.) The hiding and escaping captured my imagination as a child much more than the romance did. Not sure what that says about me…

For me it ended when Monica and Chandler hooked up. Bleah.

I just watched that last week with my 11-year-old niece, so it was the very first thing that sprang to mind when I saw this article. What a shitty ending.

Going way back in time, Northern Exposure ends for me after season three. Season four was a mess (the Bubble Man, Joel and Maggie's consummation, singing Shelley) and it just got worse from there.

Me, too. There is nothing after season three. Except supreme dislike of Dan Harmon for being a tool.

I only really like the first Vacation. It looks almost exactly like my childhood, right down to the olive-green, wood-paneled station wagon. (The Griswold's house, however, would have been a mansion in my childhood community.) Beverly D looks gorgeous, the kids are cute and funny, and it's by far the most amusing…

That was very nicely put, and I'd like to agree with you, but professional sports culture can never and will never solve the deep problems that northeastern Ohio and other places like it deal with. It's just a shiny object to distract from the dysfunction. And I feel sports culture is such a big distraction that it…

The one in my old hometown has been a dry cleaner's for decades.

That was a plot point in Anne Tyler's The Accidental Tourist (published in 85, I think?)—the main character's young son was killed in a fast food shoot-up. It seems like a quainter time when you only had to worry about getting shot at your local burger joint, instead of everywhere else.

I miss Burger Chef. We would sometimes go there for Sunday lunch as a treat. (Hey, it was the 70s and we were poor.) I just loved that place. Burger Chef and Jeff forever!

"the mid-00s"
How is this pronounced? The mid-OOs? The mid-thousands? The mid-oughts?

Me too.

They were definitely the best couple on the show. Their scenes together were what kept me watching, perfect chemistry.

I wolfed my Teamster sub for you!
