after watching White Collar, I'm starting to think that Garret Dillahunt thinks Mark Sheppard should get his own schtick -- nm - undeadMojo Oct 26, 09:24 18
- Mark Sheppard should be in every show on television. Badger badger badger! -- nm - Beryllium Oct 26, 09:27
- White Collar's last 75minutes...B+. Definetly another solid entertaining USA offering. - Will Hunting Oct 26, 09:27 15

    - TNT's got biggers shows iirc...The Closer gets like 7mil a week iirc. - Will Hunting Oct 26, 09:32 9

      - But when are they going to start doing "full" seasons? Enough of this 13 eps a year crap - I want 22 Burn Notices! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 26, 09:35 6
        
        They got too good a thing going with their 16 episode seasons. - Will Hunting Oct 26, 09:36 5
        
        yes, it's an effective cycle and works well for them. -- nm - Callisto Oct 26, 09:37 4
        
        What really works is that they now have enough shows that they can stagger them and be running something - TWuG Oct 26, 09:42 2
        
        Don't forget that In Plain Sight show as well. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 26, 09:43 1
        
        Yep. I did forget that one. -- nm - TWuG Oct 26, 09:44
        
        I wonder if we're going to start seeing that sort of thing in a big 4.5 network. - Will Hunting Oct 26, 09:38
      - yeah, cable is still super fragmented. That's why it's so cheap to advertise that way. - Callisto Oct 26, 09:33
  - I think it is *very* promising. -- nm - Callisto Oct 26, 09:28 3

  - [deleted] 1
    - Yeah, the guy though who made said wager with me did not state that the pass had to be poorly thrown. - Will Hunting Oct 26, 09:20
  - yeah, collinsworth was arguing that they should change the stats so that int's which are caused by receivers or in garbage time (via hail mary) - tRuMaN Oct 26, 09:18
  - And my favorite part of football......the fat guy 75 yard das....spri......jo.....waddle! -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 26, 09:18 3

      - Larry Fitzgerald had time to run from the Meadowlands to make an attempt on the ball - Will Hunting Oct 26, 09:20 1
        
        i mean, when a lineman attempts to catch up (and does), you know the rest of your team doesnt care. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 26, 09:21
  - that shouldn't be an INT - that was just a poor time for a breather -- nm - lkf Oct 26, 09:17
Lawyers are warning employers against friending employees on social networks. - Mop (232 lbs) Oct 26, 09:14 3

  - I think depending on situation, it's okay to friend your immediate boss. - Callisto Oct 26, 09:22
  - Please, these are the same retards that post drunken pictures of themselves and then make their profiles public. - Mop (232 lbs) Oct 26, 09:20
*me pets his purpled level borderlands weapons* - tRuMaN Oct 26, 09:11 9
- I wonder colour actually gets determined. I've seen greens that have been better than purples. All about the luck of the weapon generator. -- nm - Shaun Oct 26, 09:22 2
  - ayup. - tRuMaN Oct 26, 09:23 1
    - I am pretty much exclusively using weapons that have elemental effects. Sometimes the extra damage isn't worth it imo. -- nm - Shaun Oct 26, 09:26
- [deleted]
- that just sounds too much like a euphemism for me. -- nm - zork-o'-lantern Oct 26, 09:11 4
  - like, how can it not be? -- nm - Reagen Oct 26, 09:12 2
    - *slices Reagen with purple lightsabre* -- nm - Samuel L Jackson Oct 26, 09:14 1

- no Jays fan in Toronto could ever root for the Phillies - lkf Oct 26, 09:13
- Phillies in 6. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 26, 09:12
- i predict that i won't watch more than 30 seconds - zork-o'-lantern Oct 26, 09:11
- it will suck -- nm - undeadMojo Oct 26, 09:11
- I agree with the IM, but I'm hoping for a Phillies repeat. -- nm - TFox Oct 26, 09:10 1
  - Agreed. -- nm - MDH Oct 26, 09:11
i don't like these "records" determined by sales since (concert, movie, etc.) prices keep going up. I'd rather they go by admissions. -- nm - zork-o'-lantern Oct 26, 09:00 17
- Free Tour breaks all records!!! -- nm - Spawn Oct 26, 09:08
- by admissions and also adjusted for inflation -- (link) - Roger More Oct 26, 09:04
- By Admissions, here is the top 5: - MDH Oct 26, 09:02 14
  - I understand, but have in mind that a movie opening in 2009 has way, way more competition that one opening in 1979 - celedhring Oct 26, 09:07 4
    - really, there are so many differences. There are more large stadiums these days, there are several countries that wouldn't have been part of a concert - Roger More Oct 26, 09:11 1
      - on the other hand, I see less concerts being performed in stadia and artists make much more on fewer dates and do not need to do extended tours. - zork Oct 26, 09:17
    - sure, and movies used to run for months or even years. I just don't think much of records that are in constant change like that and inevitably fall -- nm - zork-o'-lantern Oct 26, 09:10
    - This should have gone above and not under MDH's post... -- nm - celedhring Oct 26, 09:08
  - makes more sense that way to me. I wonder how Abba, Duran Duran, and Grateful Dead rank. -- nm - zork-o'-lantern Oct 26, 09:03 8
    - Abba was offered $1 Billion to reunite to tour, and they turned it down -- nm - MDH Oct 26, 09:05 7
      - i've mentioned that on here a couple of times -- nm - zork-o'-lantern Oct 26, 09:08
      - I don't think I know how to turn down a billion dollars. -- nm - TFox Oct 26, 09:06 5
        
        n - uhm -- nm - lkf Oct 26, 09:08
        
        They said "We do not sound like we once did, and it would be an injustice to our fans" -- nm - MDH Oct 26, 09:07 3
        
        If they can handle the singing in Mamma Mia (I am looking directly at you, UK!) then they can handle ABBA's voices now. -- nm - The Legend of Sleepy Hdn Oct 26, 09:10 1
        
        Mamma Mia the movie, that is. -- nm - The Legend of Sleepy Hdn Oct 26, 09:11
        
        think one of the B's said "we don't look what we looked like 30 years ago" - lkf Oct 26, 09:09
hdn - I am in disbelief that the season finale is up so soon ... time flies with this show for me. -- nm - JenBro Oct 26, 09:00 2
- Yes. I posted here last week that I was made sad when AMC said "Only three episodes left..." A co-worker, who I talk often with on all things - The Legend of Sleepy Hdn Oct 26, 09:09 1
  - sadly, no one at my workplace watches it ... I fully expect in 2 years they will all be talking about it like it's the next big thing and I'll be - JenBro Oct 26, 09:27
Jax Sean wins it: #4 The Police $358M -- nm - MDH Oct 26, 08:56 18

      - not sure if you saw The Beat Goes on whch was the history of Canadian Rock on CBC - lkf Oct 26, 09:16 3
        
        Chapter 1: Rush. Chapter 2: Triumph. Chapter 3: The Guess Who. End of series. -- nm - TWuG Oct 26, 09:19 1

- ty had it before me actually. -- nm - Bloody AxeSean Oct 26, 08:57 10
  - Numbers 11-20 if you care - MDH Oct 26, 09:00 4
    - and since Bon Jovi announced a new tour, he'll be in the top 10 next year -- nm - zork-o'-lantern Oct 26, 09:01 3
      - These are individual tours that are high grossing. His new tour could break it, but it'll be tough. he'd need to outgross his last by $13 M -- nm - MDH Oct 26, 09:03 2
        
        Which will not happen. At all. -- nm - Spawn Oct 26, 09:08 1
        
        Now, Jon Bovi on the other hand... -- nm - TFox Oct 26, 09:09
  - and ty wins too! -- nm - MDH Oct 26, 08:57 4
    - and Tim bucked two! -- nm - zork-o'-lantern Oct 26, 08:58 3
      - my future's so bright i gotta wear shades -- nm - lkf Oct 26, 08:59 2
        
        nice to see you around again -- nm - zork-o'-lantern Oct 26, 09:01 1
        
        rock and roll is a vicious game on the new boards over there -- nm - lkf Oct 26, 09:04
you said no to NKOTB? -- nm - lkf Oct 26, 08:56 1
- hang'in tough -- nm - SyrDragon Oct 26, 09:01
Kinda nice that Halloween night and DST ends on the same day but for me it means baby girl will be waking up at 5:15 am instead of 6:15 this Sunday. -- nm - The Legend of Sleepy Hdn Oct 26, 08:54
*n*Sync ? -- nm - lkf Oct 26, 08:54 5
- Meatloaf / Journey / Electric Light Orchestra -- nm - lkf Oct 26, 08:58
- I was about to suggest you stop picking good bands, but I see you're way ahead of me -- nm - Roger More Oct 26, 08:56
- No, it's establsihed this band's peak popularity was much longer ago -- nm - MDH Oct 26, 08:55 2
  - You got a guess of the Police on B2. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 26, 08:56 1
