Always Anti-fascist!

"I've been making people laugh better than this." No, you haven't. But I'm sure some other old white guy will pony up to make "Assisted Living Vacation", and ,what the hell, Christie Brinkley's self-esteem has taken a hit lately...maybe you can get her back to give you a sponge bath. Could it be possible he doesn't get the jokes? He never did strike me as an intellectual comic. "Holiday Road" plays as Chevy blows past his relevance and hits Eric Idle with his car.(My brother, like, worships, that guy...the horrible shit I've had to watch to "share" and take turns...meh.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm now wondering what other shows Matt Bomer could make better/more enjoyable. Maybe all of them?

Now that's a hypothesis that needs to be tested. I'd bet the success rate would be high.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

We already said he needs to be on "Leverage."

This is a long-time buffista claim. It may have been voted on in 'cracy.

I would pay folding money to see him on "Revenge."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So did anyone else watch Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23 ? I thought it was pretty funny, although I wonder what future episodes will be like. I already like the cast, though, so it's a good start. It's fun.

That would be fun times. As would Ringer. And Psych. (re: Bomer)

Eta: P-C, I watched the first two eps on hulu and liked it. Van der Beek is pretty hilarious.

I meant to watch, but completely forgot until after it was over. The review I read compared it to Better Off Ted, which I always meant to watch.

Better Off Ted is goddamn awesome, so, yes, you should watch, and yes, I read a similar review that piqued my interest.

I can't see that comparison at this point. But you should watch Better Off Ted, Frank, it's great.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I watched and enjoyed it. Did not expect that the Beek would be the best part of the show.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Matt is me. I would compare it more to 2 broke girls minus the racism (so far) but with the same kind of chemistry, plus the Beek, who was all kinds of awesome.
