Man, I was in the sweet spot during Night Court's run. Harry Anderson ended up being a pivotal figure for me, and I spent a good chunk of my teen years deeply interested in scams and con artists and all that Damon Runyon-type goodness. The Sting and David Mamet's early movies fed into that too.

Oh god, it was totally on purpose. My favorite was Harry's reaction to that one guy who kept robbing the same butcher's shop repeatedly… "Well, we 'meat' again! Don't you know what's at 'steak' here? And you're in the 'prime' of your life!" and so on, while all the other characters are rolling their eyes at the…

I saw Harry's standup/magic act in 1988 or 1989, and the man definitely had skills. His story (and god knows how true it is) was that he was a street hustler and part-time comedian who bullshitted his way onto a few episodes of Cheers, and that the Night Court producers were impressed by his convincing portrayal of a…

I dearly love the idea of an ex-hippie couple's teenage son rebelling against them by going full-on William F. Buckley, and Michael J. Fox was perfect in the role, but damned if I can remember any specific episodes or laugh lines.

I'm still disappointed that we never got to see Richard Moll as the Obligatory Super-Strong Henchman in one of Roger Moore's Bond movies.

My only real problem with Crystal Skull is that, having decided to make an Indy movie set in the 1950s and dealing with aliens, Lucas and Spielberg tried to make it too much of a piece with the earlier movies. Imagine if they'd taken Earth vs The Flying Saucers and that sort of 50s b-movie as their starting point…

Why Are There Hats?

What the hell are you talking about?

No jokes, please; Nugent is probably on Trump's shortlist for when the next Supreme Court slot opens up.

I'd never heard of Squatty Potty, but an ad featuring GWAR would make me a loyal customer.

And in that sense, the midterms should be fascinating; watching the GOP candidates trying to find a way to beat the Dems by running against Trump and his ever-falling approval rating without losing his base is going to be fun.

And they never ruined anyone's New Years Eve either.

I'm going with "feigned outrage that will hopefully distract a few of the rubes from all the real news".

Barron Trump has never heard of Kathy Griffen

I pray every day for Trump's continued good health, right up through the midterms, because if Pence takes over now, he may actually give the GOP a few accomplishments to run on in 2018. After the midterms (assuming the Dems get majorities in both houses)? I never wish death on anybody, but if a piece of a passing 747…

They're totally different situations, because Barron is white.

Don't go looking for reason because you won't find any. In 2007, Ted Nugent said, "Obama, he's a piece of shit. I told him to suck on my machine gun. Hey Hillary [Clinton], you might want to ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless bitch."
