I'm actually ok with the end of Supernatural, I have been ok with it for 10 years now! But I appreciate the concern. I absolutely agree with Sarah about Jared's hair, just know that the current hairst

Guys, it occurs to me that Game Time is now the world's foremost currently running sporting competition. Either that or the guy on YouTube who films marble races. Thank you for shouldering this a

I'd like to see some seriously evil Fae - the sort that steal babies, seduce mortals and then forget about them until their grandchildren discover them wondering mindless fifty years later, make crocked deals that really backfire on the people who take them up... that sort of stuff. That is, fairy tales when they were still scary, as opposed to things you can make a Disney movie out of.

Oliver and Thea Queen (Arrow)-- Pin The Tail on the Donkey.  Because they are competitive siblings, this could be funny.

Al Swearingen and the saloon girls ( Deadwood)-- True American; On a night in,  when Al is feeling magnanimous or he'd charge the ladies half price for the booze needed.

Felix Unger ( The Odd Couple/2016)-- The Sims; It helps Felix to have a SimOscar who actually cleans up after himself, as well as Felix being able to micromange Sim versions of his friends' lives.

Matt Murdock ( Daredevil)-- The Who's Tommy Pinball Wizard.  He could have it as a private joke in his loft or it could be at Josie's and he'd probably win bar bets on it.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy WAS made by the BBC:  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080297/ as was its sequel, Smiley's People. Alec Guiness played George Smiley in both.

Maggie Simpson also spoke in one of the Halloween episodes where she was (I think) voiced by whoever voiced Kang (or maybe Kotos) - possibly James Earl Jones? - it was the episode Guest Starring  Jerry Springer.

For some reason, I love that Seafood Platter Sarah D. Bunting was not serving fish.

Jodie Foster played Maggie in "Four Great Women and a Manicure", a terrible episode from late in that 20th anniversary season that was basically one of those "let's put them in dressups and tell a bunch of short stories" Treehouse of Horror knockoffs, this time with a vague theme of "women" despite Maggie's story being a parody of Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead". (James Earl Jones has never actually won a proper Oscar, although he did get one of those honorary pity Oscars in 2011.)

Am I the only one who, when hearing about this show, was hoping it was a salacious tell-all about Richard Dawson in the 70s?

Just me?

 

As to feuds, Tesla vs Edison, all the way. That shit got bonkers.

Edison ELECTROCUTED AN ELEPHANT AS A PUBLICITY STUNT, for Gainesville's sake.

One of the more culturally aspiring networks might try to portray the War of the Romantics of the late 19th Century. In a wonderfully bitchy comment,  Wagner accused Brahms of using a "Bohemian Sparrow slaying bow" to spear passing cats and then "eagerly listening to their expiring groans and carefully jotting them down". Brahms responded with the similarly catty (pardon the pun) "The evil only starts when one attempts to compose better than one can." Performances were met with hissing by rivals... it was a gloriously bitchy in a way you'd think only high school teens could manage.

Olivia de Havilland and her sister Joan Fontaine. I feel like Ryan Murphy would have fun with this kind of thing:

Quote

As they entered adolescence, the bullying escalated to hair-pulling, tearing clothes that were to become hand-me-downs and even outright fighting, with one incident causing a break in Joan's collarbone. Later, the abuse became less physical and more psychological. As editor of their high school newspaper, Olivia apparently published a fake will: "I bequeath to my sister the ability to win boys' hearts, which she does not have at present."

a. JCPenney's vs. Sears-- it was a big rivalry when I was growing up; my dad was a career Penney's man and we rarely shopped Sears. My mom still prefers to only shop at JCP.

b. The Regulator-Moderator War in Texas during 1835-44; Sam Houston himself had to finally broker a truce! (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulator–Moderator_War)

c. Chuck Lorre vs. various female stars

I absolutely don't mean to read Kim, but the fact that it takes so long to explain the "Lost" pilot is pretty indicative of why I dropped the show early in season 2.  But again, that's a show problem, not a canon presentation problem.

Summer TV I'm Going to Drop: "Wayward Pines", I'm assuming. Season one surprisingly managed to hold it together, but I really doubt that there's any story left to tell. I'll give it a shot, but not for long.

As soon as I heard the description, I immediately said aloud, 'Tara picks Julie Bowen, obviously".

For my part, no more Emmys for Julianna Margulies, Alec Baldwin or (though I loved Frasier) Kelsey Grammer, please! Meanwhile, though she can't seem to lose, I'm somehow perfectly happy with more for Allison Janney, since she's currently keeping them away from the aforementioned Bowen.
