But guessing games are fun!

Personally, I always found Jack and especially Karen to be more fun than Will or Grace. I could never get behind either character at all.
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

Not to someone who's missed more television than seen.

It's fate. The Wackiest character on any sitcom turns out to be the most popular. Taxi, Family Matters... other shows.

I think the only time it worked the opposite way was Home Improvement and Al Borlund. Oh, and Step by Step. They tried to replicate Urkel with Sasha Mitchell (a martial arts movie actor) as a mentally-challenged / stoner surfer. I always call him the male Kimmy Gibler.
Well, I got so burned out on the road
Too many fags, too much blow
And then Mick and I split up and I said,
"Kid, it's time to take a little bit of a hiatus."
So I got myself a gig at the coffee shop
and I love it.
Why don't you take that corner booth,
I'll take your order in a minute...

Did it get any animation noms? The Emmys usually try to separate cartoons from the "big" awards.

Oh, I didn't realize they completely separated cartoons from live action. I have no idea how to find out if it got an animation nom, though.

Julianna Marguiles recently stated that she'd be down for an ER reunion movie, where we get to see Ross and Hathaway's wedding, as long as George Clooney is interested.

I dunno about y'all, but I'd pay to see that.

Thoughts?

I'd say they're right about the nature of a lot of fandoms these days. Many seem eager to justify that what they like is the absolute best anything and that they are "better" than others who prefer different shows, especially those who prefer shows they don't like. I think it's all rather silly, but I see where it comes from. I just avoid the kinds of places on the internet where the crazies reside, and stay all the saner for it.   :D

In its first week, OITNB had more steams on Netflix than the new season of Arrested Development did.

Fuck yeah.
