This is kind of a weird piece. I would put passing on Breaking Bad<\/em> or Arrested Development\u2019s<\/em> disastrous fourth season in the same category as the networks calling Florida for Al Gore in 2000. And I\u2019m not sure the numbers next to some of these match their significance. It is a pop culture list, though, and you all know how I love those.<\/p>\n

The 50 Worst Decisions in TV History<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Does the world need a fairly academic accounting of the making of Anchorman<\/em>? Probably not. I would have rather this be a more humorous look inside one of the funniest movies ever. I still enjoyed it despite the extremely dry tone.<\/p>\n

\u2018Let\u2019s Let the Squirrel Out of the Bag\u2019\u00a0On the\u00a0Anchorman<\/em>\u00a0set, improv-comedy masters had the freedom to reimagine the film one line at a time.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2018Back to school\u2019 means anytime from late July to after Labor Day, depending on where in the U.S. you live<\/a><\/p>\n

Fascinating stuff here. Growing up we were a solid 6:00 for Dinner<\/em> family. You watched Tom Brokaw, then you ate. In our early years together, S and I usually ate around 7:00. But once we had kids that turned into 5:00. As they got older that bumped back to 6:00, which had been pretty steady until the past year, when I\u2019ve tried to nudge it more towards 6:30. Looks like we fit right in the window for \u201cnormal\u201d across the US.<\/p>\n
