Definitely didn't see number three coming.  Kinda happily surprised about that one.

Article also states the 500th episode of "Let's Make a Deal" airs this Monday for those want to set their DVRs.

An...interesting....list.

He does realize the 1970s ABC edutainment show was "Schoolhouse Rock" and not "School Of Rock", right?

[TLEberle]

He and Drew might be working on the wrong shows, but there's no questioning his taste in television.

I've learned that a LOT of times, a younger reporter who truly doesn't know the reference will misunderstand and be responsible for errors like that, and of course web stories that are sloppily edited will make such mistakes easier to slip through.

Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a copy editor?

(Come to think of it, he lists Roseanne and not Dave Chappelle?)

Interesting comment from Carol Burnett in the last item, too.

I'll question it. New Girl? Really?

She's adorkable!

My case, let me rest it for you.

You misspelled Raising Hope.  I didn't make it to the first commercial break of the premiere.

Naw, I didn't. New Girl I will cheerfully question because I get the premise and what they're pinning the promotion on and am disappoint in the sheep in the viewing audience who buy into the whole "adorkable!" blather that Matt was riffing on.

Raising Hope just misses me completely. Beyond no interest, simply don't care, to the point that I am absolutely willing to consider that in that case it's me and not the show itself.

I disagree.  It's not you, just like it's not me.  (No, I'm not in denial.  Really.)  You are spot on about everything else.

I never understood the appeal of "Roseanne;" terrible show that got progressively worse.  I do like "New Girl."

Really? What about it didn't you care for? Besides the manic braying of the star, I mean?

I can't speak for Jimmy but a lot of the subject matter was uninteresting. And the shift to more of a dramedy tone made that worse.

That was about the same time that Roseanne really started to go off the deep end, if I recall correctly.
