Couldn't Criss Angel sue over the title? Or would even he shrug his shoulders and say, "eh, yeah, I am a douche bag"? I mean the title is funny, but is also really weird in that it seems pointed and mean spirited. I can see it as a working title for all the writers to laugh about, but then changing it for TV.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

Art Crawl!!!
That's why the working title was "The Amazing Jay" - I'm sure that they (The CW) had their attorneys working on it to make sure it didn't get them into trouble and they got okayed for it.

Because books.
Eh, like they say, any publicity is good publicity. Maybe he knows he's a douchebag!

Amy says almost exactly what I was going to. He probably recognizes a certain douchebaginess about his performing persona. And the publicity thing. Maybe he'll do one of the cons now. (Kidding. Mostly.)

I think I remember that after "Family Remains" people here were mentioning the "Home" episode of X-Files. I was just looking through next week's TV Guide (the one with the Obamas on the cover) and they mention it:
"Family Remains," the January 15, 2009 Supernatural episode about a haunted house, was inspired by the controversial "Home" episode of The X-Files, which chronicled the murderous deeds of an inbred rural family. "That episode was so disgusting [Fox] could only air in once [in 1996]," Gamble says. "We like to be grossed out. So we were inspired to dig deep and find our own disgusting."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Home was the first episode of the X-files I ever saw, and it took me about a year before I watched another one.

Ha! Oh, that's funny, Perkins.

Because books.
"Home" is awesome in its horror. It's a fabulous episode, and it's just magnificently creepy. It also made a lot more sense than "Family Remains," in its own disgusting way.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
It still gives me the wig, on the infrequent occasion it comes to mind. Brrrr.

There was one nice moment of Scully and Mulder sitting on a bench and talking about whether or not they (individually) want kids. Other than that, yeah, the entire episode gives me a wiggins. I keep having the image of that mother being rolled out from under the sink, her eyes bulging, and all the shrieking. And then I have to quickly go to my Happy Place.
