(Had a HUGE crush on her when I was growing up.) RIP, Davy. We'll miss you terribly.

I was quite impressed how level-headed Uncle Ted's kids were, especially when compared with the others on the show.

I'd prefer my daughters be cute ... This whole thing is sad, but not surprising.

We are far enough from the events, and the facts are clear and indisputable. The story alone would guarantee an entertaining and engrossing film if it were well done. OK, so I am naive ...

I saw each of these movies with my teenage kids and we all enjoyed them, even 'Iron Man 2'. Were any of these movies perfect? No, but they were very enjoyable, didn't insult me or my beliefs and I was smiling when I left the theater. And I am looking forward to 'The Avengers' - one of the few movies I'll actually deal with the boneheads at the theater to see this year.

I like 30 Rock as well. I enjoy the fun had with the political views from all sides. The episode with Queen Latifah stands out in my mind. When do you ever, EVER, see anyone poke fun at black politics on network TV? This is what I love about this site ... actual discussion and conversation without the cookie-cutter points of view required by moderators.

I didn't have anything to worry about. It was a really good show. Felt like old friends getting together after years (decades) apart. I don't know if I'll be able to catch the tour this year ($$$) but I'm looking forward to the new material. Will it replace VH 1 thru 1984? Of course not, but I'm hoping to enjoy what they have to offer. Keep sober, guys, and you'll be generously rewarded by your old friends ... and their kids!

If I remember correctly, the USSR did show footage of American poor to their people during the Great Depression to illustrate the failings of Capitalism and democracy. The had to stop when the reaction of their people was, "In America, even the poor have shoes! and automobiles!" Thanks for playing. Buh bye ...

I'm sorry, did I miss something? I was under the impression that he said something along the lines of, "rehearsal is for fags" when talking in Howard Stern's radio show. Distasteful yes - vile anti-gay, I don't know. I think that the PC Thought Police don't need to be encouraged or given any support be accepting their hyperbolic sense of offense. It was rude, get over it. You know, just like I'm constantly told to (and do!) as a white, straight, conservative, religious male ...

It seemed to me that Carlin ended on a bad note, being pretty angry and bitter but that doesn't (for me, anyway) discredit what I consider to be brilliant work prior to that. Did I "agree" with all of his material? Of course not. But the Carlin I watched and listened to when I was growing up in the late sixties, seventies and early eighties was incredibly funny and insightful. Thanks to CDs, I can still enjoy all of this material without being distracted by the later stuff that just wasn't funny to me ... I suspect that is what JN is referrring to.

I don't know what did or didn't happen, and really, neither does anyone else except those acutally involved and we've only heard one side ... Not saying anyone was a saint, but I've seen quite a few children (of celebrities and others) assault their parents character publically and then be shown to be, let's just say, stretching the truth.

Rest in peace, sir. And I'm just wondering ... as the 'old guard' continues to pass, will we ever see their kind of class in hollywood again? While I didn't appreciate it in my youth, I certainly appreciate it now and miss it terribly.

They both love the Homelanders series. They've read them multiple times and lent them to their friends. As an involved parent, finding good fiction for young people is rather difficult ...

Not Bert and Ernie in particular but puppets in general. That's why I mentioned "Team America," a movie that featured a rather explicit (and infamous) PUPPET sex scene. No endorsement, no condemnation, just a mention of a topical movie. I didn't miss the point of your humor at all ...
