Never saw the Seinfeld finale. And I agree that Mulany is rotten.

I don't think the Seinfeld finale was anywhere near as bad as it's popularly portrayed.

I don't think the Seinfeld finale was anywhere near as bad as it's popularly portrayed.

I think the problem was just expectations. People actually had parties with Seinfeld related food (marble rye, black and white cookies, babka, pretzels) - I was at one - and I guess it was sort of a bummer if you were expecting a big sendoff. I'd say it was more clever than funny, but in retrospect it was pretty appropriate.

Simmons: If you remember, for season finales, we were coming off this run of shows that ended like how Cheers did, where it was basically like a Viking funeral, Sam adjusting dead Coach’s painting before he walked out. That’s what people’s expectations were, that it was going to be this emotional ride and then they were going to say good-bye to the characters.

David: Yes, an emotional ride, exactly.

Simmons: You weren’t interested in the emotional ride.

David: No, I was not interested in an emotional ride, and neither was Jerry. No wonder why they would dislike it, yeah. But let me toot my own horn for a second. I thought it was clever to bring back all those characters in a courtroom and testify against them for what they did, and then show those clips, and also for why they even got arrested in the first place. And then to wind up — forget the self-aggrandizement here—

I'm five episodes in to Hannibal and I'm really starting to dig it. From what I've seen, Hannibal is what stupid Dexter could have been if the writers weren't so completely miserable.

Thought Mike Myers as Dr. Evil was a nice touch on SNL. It's amazing how much better his comedic timing is compared to the cast.

Also, I dare SNL to try and come up with a monologue that isn't a song and/or have a celebrity cameo.

a holiday tradition we have is to watch jay thomas tell his lone ranger story and darlene love sing on the letterman show.

Chris Rock did. He even said he was trying to avoid that.
