Children's series from the UK and Australia were pretty common on Canadian television when I was growing up. Two examples I can remember really liking are Chocky and The Girl from Tomorrow.

I always used to be able to bluff my way through a conversation about Days of Our Lives by asking what Stefano was up to lately. What will I do now?

I was hoping for a brief bit about Weber's (also brief) appearance on Deep Space Nine, but alas, it was not to be. Thanks for including Jeffrey, though.

To manufactured victory!

That's how I felt when the series was on—like Sorkin had a bunch of leftover ideas that he couldn't fit into The West Wing at the time (or had had since leaving) and was now trying to shoehorn into a vastly different premise. By the last few episodes, he wasn't even pretending to make a series about a sketch comedy

Your inability to remember specifics about the actor who played Paul proves that he was cast perfectly.

I imagine her work with the DAR also kept her somewhat engaged with that general period in American history.

I thought there was a song lyric referencing the "new sewers," implying that Taylor had already won that battle.

I'm not sure why people are surprised that characters who were the focus of ASP's later seasons on the show would continue to be the focus here.

Someone I know who comes from money and is in a very Rory-like situation (on the cusp of thirty with no job) has still managed to go on at least one trip a month this year—including just coming back from an exclusive yoga retreat which costs almost a thousand dollars to attend (before travel and accommodations).

I continue to watch The Walking Dead as it airs, but I already know that series falls into this category for me. I can't imagine myself rewatching it after it ends.

As a fan of Highlander: The Series, I'm also willing to include Highlander: Endgame since it fits neatly into that continuity.

Oh, I say that with no irony at all—he participated in the TVLand reunion of the cast and never shies away from talking about his work on the series when it comes up in interviews.

Career aside, Tom Hanks is always down to contribute to an oral history of Bosom Buddies.

I always thought I was, but it's good to have that confirmation.

Since Madea movies never get a theatrical release in Canada, reviews are practically the only way I know anything going on with this franchise.

Okay, I'll rephrase what I'm asking: Why is Faith the only human character who feels they deserve to spend time in jail for their criminal acts?

There wasn't a lot of moral equivalency on either series—why was Faith the only character who had to serve any jailtime for her criminal acts?

I think we're talking past each other here…

Elmo is designed to have the psychology of a three-year-old (much like Big Bird, for example, is written with the psychology of a six-year-old), so having three-year-olds relate to him is no accident.
