I could not stop laughng about "rigid airship" I do the same thing when people call zeppelins "blimps" in my presence. Blimps are limp!
And last night I caught the chekov gun episode. I knew the rule (if you introduce a gun in the first act it must go off by the third) but not the attribution.
Charles Whitman Sampler. Oh dear. That was the same guy who plays Frylock, no?
Exactly. That, plus the inevitable Bluth family overtones between Archer and his mom.
Hasn't Jessica Walter had the wildest career?
Mission Impossible, Play Misty For Me, Tapeheads, Morgan Le Fay in the Dr. Strange TV movie, Arrested Development, Archer...
I used to get her mixed up with Diana Muldaur. They tended to play the same kind of characters: smart, patrician, a bit icy, slightly dangerous.
For the record now, bon is now two for two on comedy pimpage to me (30 Rock, Archer).
Parks and Rec is next!
Also, Archer was renewed for a second season, so that's good.
Also Holland Taylor, Hec.
Also Holland Taylor, Hec.
Definitely the same flavor, though her career doesn't ping me going all the way back to the sixties like Jessica Walter and Diana Muldaur (who was Maria Muldaur's sister in law, as it turns out.)
It cracks me up that back on Bosom Buddies they did a flash forward episode where all the characters were in old age makeup except Holland Taylor's, who looked exactly the same. And now it's decades later and she really does look exactly the same!
I love Holland Taylor and more than a little bit I want to be her when I grow up.
I remember her from Bosom Buddies, but really became fond of her on that show she did with Tea Leoni.
I miss Tea Leoni on my TV.
They tended to play the same kind of characters: smart, patrician, a bit icy, slightly dangerous.
More than slightly in the case of Play Misty for Me.
Her imdb listings from the 70s is like a cop/detective show history lesson.
I miss Tea Leoni
I miss her, period. Apart from Flirting with Disaster, her film career has been pretty meh.
