When The Critic originally aired on Fox, there was a station break Jon Lovitz recorded for the show that should be played for every Fox News station break:

“You’re watching Fox! Shame on you.”

:D

@yira: "Baltimore" was a great episode, but it raised as many questions as it answered. Spoiler/Tony was going to propose to some woman? And that's all we found out? WTH?

Then we got to the episode before the season finale. :-o :( :((

He kind of masked that part up. Did he? Didn't he? He put the deflectors on Danny HARDCORE.

SPOILER [I think she was VAGUELY mentioned in Season Six- the Christmas episode. Ziva asks about a girl Tony had gone out with and he deflects there too. Mentions something about her being the best one.]

That episode made me cry so hard. :(( Definitely added fuel for the fire. Now to see how Tony deals with that CLIFFHANGER. I am so jazzed for Season 9. \:d/

I don't know how he will deal with it, but Gibbs is going to be pissed. I wouldn't want to be the new SecNav when Gibbs finds out.

I've been a long time fan of CSI: Las Vegas (the original, thank you very much) but I think it's on its last legs. Read in the paper today that Lawrence Fishburn is done with the show and won't be back, plus there since the beginning actress Marge Helgenberger is going to part-time status. These last two seasons, the writing has been a bit... below their usual quality on average, and now with almost half the original cast gone they're going to have to go into serious introduction of new characters to keep the show going. (I still miss William Peterson's Gil Grissom.)

Grissom was the best part of the show.

That he was. In fact, that persona was the reason I watched that show.

So I'm watching old school Looney Tunes (whyyy don't they do this sort of comedy anymore D:) and found out they're doing a remake of Thundercats. It looks very anime-ish.

It was before my time, I think, but it didn't keep me from dying a little inside.

That's old news, Yira. :P

I agree though, they should just re-send the original Thundercats instead of trying to make a new one.

Well it looks like they've taken some years off off everyone, so I guess she fits.

The new Thundercats is one of those shows that fill me with equal parts disgust and hope. Honestly, I really want it to be a good show, because I loved the original and it would bring true joy to my inner child to see new stuff for the series.

That said, remakes have such a long and constant history of disappointment that it makes me want to preemptively castrate the people in charge just for touching this series.

Still, I will hold onto something that is not quite as optimistic as hope, but isn't totally cynical either.
