I must admit that I've come to appreciate breakfast fairly late in life. I was never allowed the chocolate cereals that I craved. There was a fairly brief and bland mix of Fruity Pebbles and Alpha-Bits in really early grammar school, but I was switched to boring-ass Total fairly young. It was that or Chinese

Not just Sally's unaccompanied status, but Meredith's inability to read the confused and lost expression on that poor child's face. What a dingbat / comedy gold mine.

SyFy really does seem to be one of the worst with their special effects. You can kind of get sucked in by stories that seem to hold some promise, then you get backhanded to reality by effects that look like something from 1st generation Star Trek or Dr. Who. You're lucky, L-o-l-a, I rarely get my so-bad-it's-good

Ooo, good to know. Always nice to learn some local history.

I don't know, this show has had more douches than an aisle at CVS. I still need to vote for Duck because he released his dog into the night. What an asshole.

I think it's generous to say that Bosom Buddies was funny. It gets retro-kitsch points for Peter Scolari's later work on "Newhart" and Tom Hanks becoming Tom Hanks. And it paled in comparison to the white-hot one-season flash that was "It's Your Move".

I didn't mind in-depth reviews coming out that late, being a West Coast person. Unlike other shows where the reviewers get screeners and the reviews are up by the time the East Coast viewing is shown, the Mad Men reviews felt like a clean slate for me. Sure beats going to an article and seeing 800 comments on it

Of course my dumb ass instead starts going through the lyrics of Blondie's "Call Me" for that line.

That moment where Don wakes up again and sees the clock is past noon, that struck way too close to home. Too often that's happened to me, except instead of eating Ritz crackers, I brush my teeth and throw on clothes in a panic, and try to sneak into work by blending in with the lunch crowd. I feel lucky that I

Oh God, are you referring to the guy on the sailboat? The DVR caught the last minute and it was a "WTF kind of budget does that show have?" moment for me.

I know how you feel. Oftentimes I watch this show at a friend's house where he has a seven-year-old daughter doing normal kid things, bopping around talking to herself or making kid game noises on the IPad. And I feel terribly guilty afterwards that I'm thinking "KID SHUT THE FUCK UP!" all the time. Mad Men really

I happened to be watching it while housesitting at my cousin's who lives down where Lake turns into Oak Knoll. I know Mad Men invades my life, but this was even better than usual.

Such a great episode, when Mad Men is this good its lyrical qualities hit me in a way that no other show does. I was literally bouncing on the sofa each time the show went to a commercial break, squealing things like "This is so good!" and "Why can't this go on for more hours?"

Great work as always, Will, although I'm guessing this one was easier than most to get your subject to open up. Whenever I hear Pamela Adlon on a podcast, she's delightful in that she never seems to have a filter and is really comfortable sharing even the most embarrassing moments. She's one of those podcast guests

I loved watching The Twilight Zone on syndication when I was a kid, but if it was nighttime, I had to hide behind the sofa until the intro was over because it freaked me out. I also had to do this for the intro to Tales From The Darkside.

Is that on the Season 1 DVD set? I thought I watched all the extras, but I've since lent it out and it's been out of my hands for over a year. Maybe it's time to ask for it back.

I was a fan of Kate & Allie at the time.

Those are two songs that could have been dropped right into an episode of Partridge Family or The Brady Bunch and fit right in. Just "Way Happy" music.

Holy God, I had forgotten how beautiful Tracy Scoggins was in the '80s.

I don't think it would be that bad if the teeth weren't so jacked.
