Compassionately intolerant

I really enjoyed Life last night. The Kiss shout out, my favorite guilty pleasure hairband anthems, Ted touretting his way to the truth, Tidwell breaking up with booze like the lover it is for some, and the scenes in the conspiracy room that were perfectly timed to the music while reminding us that the organizing principle of Charlie's life is not being forgotten while we take a fun side trip.

I'm having extreme trouble identifyng the dentist who warrants 'hey, it's that guy' every time I see him, but whose name I cannot connect with the face. imdb gives me no love.

Anybody know?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't remember the guy's name, but I thought it was him simply because it usually is. At least he got dinged for something.

Wait...Patrick Fabian.

He walked on stage and I said out loud: "Crime solved."

Heh.

Thanks for the name.

I figured that Arthur from the Tick was It as soon as I saw him. You wouldn't have that guy on a show without giving him some work to do.

There's one guy who is on Law and Order regularly, as a perp, as a judge. I get a kick of seeing him, and never know if he's really the victim or really the bad guy, because he plays so many different roles. Eh, I can't find him quickly enough in imdb.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Numb3rs: James Marsters and Ray Wise equals a great episode.

I really enjoyed Life last night. The Kiss shout out, my favorite guilty pleasure hairband anthems,

Me too! I was really amused by some of the background music.

Numb3rs: James Marsters and Ray Wise equals a great episode.

SO entertaining.

He was on before? Was he this amusing?

Okay, was this bring back Vortex's childhood memories week? first, I relive my 80's hair band love. and I just watched this week's Psych; Sean says "you two are my least favorite tag team ever" and the random guy says "Really? With Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkov on the table?"

HAR.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Huh. Not really the greatest episode of House, I thought. All of the back and forths with the sort of "He's saying this so that you'll do that because he thinks that you'll think he actually wants you do to that other thing" just went on way too long without nearly enough payoff.

(And with the simchat bat, they got most of the words right but so many details wrong. Which is fairly standard for TV, but this show has done better before.)
