Also I caught the last bit of the Family Guy ESB parody - Reagen May 24, 12:43 6

  - I liked the Star Wars parody; this was very meh. Spoils inside - Will Hunting May 24, 13:01 1

  - I think even that is giving them too much credit. - Reagen May 24, 12:46 1

  - all i want to know is - tRuMaN May 24, 12:53 3

      - ... also building up forces in Raccoon City. - Nightcrawler May 24, 12:56
The NHL Playoffs have not been one for predictability this year, but I don't really seen a scenario where the Blackhawks don't win the Cup now. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 12:32 6
- I've really enjoyed this run and really like the Blackhawks as a team. They're just a fun team. - pmb May 24, 12:43 2
  - I like the Hawks too but will root for the Flyers in the Cup (because of Leighton and Laviolette coming from the Canes). - HdnAgnda May 24, 12:49
  - I want Byfuglin to die in a horrific buidlgin collapse but other than that they're good. - Reagen May 24, 12:48
- CHI is the team I picked to win it all when the playoffs started but I want to see PHI/CHI now and believe PHI could present a formidable - HdnAgnda May 24, 12:34 2
  - I think Leighton's in for a rude shock in net if he thinks the Hawks are going to have as weak an offence as the Canadiens. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 12:36 1
    - I admit to being concerned whne the Habs won 5-1 but he and the team bounced back quite nicely. - HdnAgnda May 24, 12:43
Who should the AI finales perform with in the finale? Melissa Etheridge for the girl? Some douchy band (Train? Maroon 5?) for the guy? -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) May 24, 12:27 2

Did everyone forget CHUCK's finale is tonight? -- nm - oblique May 24, 12:19 12
- It really needs to put Ellie in a two piece again to end it on a high note. I'll have to do NBC on Demand for it because of 24 and NHL. -- nm - HdnAgnda May 24, 12:36
- This was going to be the next show I started and caught up on. Worth it? -- nm - MDH May 24, 12:36 1
  - definitely -- nm - Jovian May 24, 12:48
- I forgot about Chuck early on this season. -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 12:25 5
  - It was worth it until a few weeks back. - Nightcrawler May 24, 12:32 1
    - Even when NBC does the right thing; they hose it up. - Will Hunting May 24, 13:07
  - yeah, i canceled my season pass about 6 weeks ago. -- nm - prayformojo May 24, 12:31
  - yeah they are losing me fast -- nm - Gwaahjo May 24, 12:30 1

- "I want you to *want* to [bleep] my [bleep]." -- nm - Ben May 24, 12:11 1
  - wait, didn't Cheap Trick cover this subject already? - i'm not dead yet ! May 24, 12:14
- People keep posting this on Twitter. What's it from? -- nm - David May 24, 12:11 4
  - Kimmell's "This Week in Unnecessarily Censored Video, Lost Edition." -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 12:12 3
    - here: -- (link) - JaxSean May 24, 12:14 [youtube]
    - This Week in Unnecessary Censorship is by far Kimmel's funniest bit. -- nm - Tim May 24, 12:14 1
      - It's hit or miss. But I definitely try to catch it every week. -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 12:14
also, catching up on some past survivor seasons, i finally found someone less deserving than the winner of Heroes v. Villains - sideways pixie May 24, 12:08 13
- I hated Ozzy on this show for some reason, but Yul might be one of the best winners in Survivor history. - MDH May 24, 12:11
- Your dumb. Yul wrote the book on how to use a hidden immunity idol. -- nm - Jim May 24, 12:10 8
  - They were both worthy but Yul was the better overall player. -- nm - David May 24, 12:11 7
    - I agree. Ozzy is the gold standard for challenge dominance. He had no strategy though. - Jim May 24, 12:14 5
      - that was his strategy. don't rely on anyone else to win but himself - sideways pixie May 24, 12:16 4
        
        I gotta be honest...I don't remember the specifics of the show...I just remember Yul being a great player - Jim May 24, 12:18 3
        
        blueprint: find a shitweasel who will sell his rock solid alliance out if you threaten to vote for him - sideways pixie May 24, 12:19 2
        
        I'm just saying...no way Ozzy engineers a 4 over 8 win like Yul did. -- nm - Jim May 24, 12:56
        
        I didn't watch that season, but that's what we've been saying all along. It's about playing the players as much as the game. -- nm - Dano May 24, 12:43
    - he should give Jonathan 75% of the million - sideways pixie May 24, 12:13
- deserve has nothing to do with it -- nm - crash davis May 24, 12:08 2
  - obviously -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 12:09
  - There too, eh? -- nm - Dan & Jordan May 24, 12:09
24 finale question/poll [and I did not look to see if anyone asked this on the backboards] - peglegpete May 24, 12:07 4
- I'll say no. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 24, 12:07
- spoil - Nightcrawler May 24, 12:07 2
  - I've heard the opposite. - Dr.Vermin May 24, 12:08 1
    - Note: I loathe the show and was speaking from my own wishes, not anything I have heard or read. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 12:24
Also, speaking of finales: The Hawaii episode should have been the season finale for Modern Family. - Dano May 24, 12:06 4
- Agreed. - musubi May 24, 12:44
- Huh...I thought it was the finale. There's a new one this week? -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 12:10 1
  - Oh, duh. The family portrait one. I see. -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 12:11
- Yeah, we thought the same. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 12:07
KISS announces a Summer US Tour - MDH May 24, 12:03 13
- Jesus I remember EW doing a cover story on their 97 farewell tour. Maybe they oughta do a cover of Never Say Goodbye. -- nm - HdnAgnda May 24, 12:45 1
  - Won't Get Who'd (Fooled) Again -- nm - The Who in 1982 May 24, 13:07
- I'm pretty sure this is year 8 of their farewell tour. -- nm - pmb May 24, 12:45
- what site do you use for tour news? -- nm - TFox May 24, 12:07 1
  - This one: -- (link) - MDH May 24, 12:09
- you wanted the best and you got a bunch of C-list venues! -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 12:05
- Yeah, I saw they were coming to the State Fair last week. - Nightcrawler May 24, 12:05
- phew. Nowhere near. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 12:04 5
  - shouldn't be so negative, because much like KISS, the focus of our band will be the bassist -- nm - crash davis May 24, 12:05 4
    - Put Ray Ray in the dragon boots, and he will stand over 7 feet tall. - Nightcrawler May 24, 12:06 3
      - that would be an awesome visual effect, but unfortunately, he's Peter Criss in this scenario -- nm - crash davis May 24, 12:07 2
        
        I refuse to wear cat makeup. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 12:10 1
        
        You can wear dog makeup. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 12:11
"Now we are the same." -- nm - znufrii May 24, 12:02
Lost finale: 20.5 million viewers -- (link) - sideways pixie May 24, 11:59 12
- 2 1/2 hours. I wonder how many it was by the end. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 12:04 1
  - I only watched the last 90 minutes. I meant to watch just the last hour but I thought it was going to end at 11:00. -- nm - Dano May 24, 12:15
- It was still the best ratings in over 2 years for them. -- nm - Ender May 24, 12:04 1
  - well one would hope so -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 12:05
- It's only 13.5M on average for the night though though -- (link) - MDH May 24, 12:02 1
  - I don't think that's an "average", I think that's just the average in the 18-49 demo. The 20.5 would be all viewers, including outside the demo. -- nm - Ender May 24, 12:05
- I heard a lot of invitations to Lost finale parties. I would think those would drag the ratings down. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 24, 12:01
- someone said 13.5M earlier. They lost too many people over the years methinks. -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 12:01
- I would have expected a lot more. The people who left clearly didn't have much interest in coming back...except Dano. -- nm - David May 24, 12:01 3
  - The funny thing is that even without watching the show since episode 4, I felt like I got the gist of it. -- nm - Dano May 24, 12:05
  - I would've had it on if I'd been home. -- nm - mara May 24, 12:02
  - I don't think it matters all that much, except for entertainment. Figure the DVD sales will show force -- nm - budice May 24, 12:02
Guys? Guys? What the hell? -- nm - Scott, or is it Steve May 24, 11:57
Speaking of finales: Thoughts on The Office finale? (spoils) - budice May 24, 11:57 15
- Creed is the smoke monster, Phyllis ends up being the one chosen. -- nm - TFox May 24, 11:59 10
  - "Darrell gave me $3 to go by Andy and do this. *slits throat motion* Jokes on him, I'd have done it for nothing." -- nm - Reagen May 24, 12:02
  - Can we get Jenna Fischer in a tight white or black dress? Please? -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 12:02 8
    - By your command...(pic) -- (link) - budice May 24, 12:04 6
      - Not as sexy-a-dress as Evangeline or Sofia's, but still *sigh*-worthy. -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 12:09 5
        
        Not bad in a bikini either -- (link) - budice May 24, 12:10 [Image] 4
        
        I hate to say it, but that looks very airbrushed. -- nm - pmb May 24, 12:42 1
        
        Yeah I hate to say it too but Shape magazine is notorious for airbrushed/manipulated covers. -- nm - HdnAgnda May 24, 12:47
        
        that's two of your links today that I need to catch later at home... :) -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 12:17
        
        *ditches trainer* - Nightcrawler May 24, 12:13
    - I have been convincing her to lose the baby weight. -- nm - Dwight May 24, 12:03
- Dwight gets fired and comes back on a disgruntled shooting spree - sideways pixie May 24, 11:58 1
  - spoils - budice May 24, 11:58
- oh was that the finale this week? -- nm - Jovian May 24, 11:57 1
  - Yeah, all the NBC THursday shows are done for the season. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 11:58
Word. -- nm - Jim May 24, 11:56
