I finally got around to watching the season finale of Louie. The opening with the toy doll and the closing with the rural Chinese family were genius bookends. I don't watch a lot of TV but I have to believe that was the best 1/2 hour program of the last year.
LOL I rented this from Netflix once. I just had to go back and see how Houston blew such a giant lead. I would have loved a Hou vs Dallas Super Bowl that year.
I'd advise quitting Twin Peaks at the latest by the middle point of season 2... it's already not for everyone, then after the revelation of the first major story arch, it narrows the audience even worse. Don't get me wrong, the first season is great, and the first half of season 2 is pretty damn good as well... but I've never started liking then disliking a show so much in its run than this.

They blew it because Buffalo had Maryland Terrapin and comeback kid, Frank Reich, playing quarterback. At one point in his career, he quarterbacked the largest college football comeback in history and the largest pro comeback in history. They've both been broken since, but that's still pretty cool.

I remembered Reich coming in for the injured Jim Kelly. There were many fans who wanted both him and Kenneth Davis to start in the Super Bowl. I think a lot of the blown lead by Houston had to do with the Run N Shoot offense they ran and the inability to kill the clock.

Yeah, if you make it that far, you'll kind of have to finish it (at least I would), but he's right, don't expect much in the last half of season 2. It really does get pretty bad. It's great up until it's terrible though.

I bought the DVD set for season 2 after I watched season 1 on Netflix... I still haven't seen the final few episodes, nor the movie. It just got unbearable for me.

Hoping a movie about a writer may cure my writer's block.
Did it? Or did you get annoyed with it and turn it off like I did?
I came really close to turning it off. I disliked it pretty much for the same reason I disliked Juno. Diablo Cody seems to just love writing characters that you want to like but offer no good qualities, then just as you think they are about to change, do a complete 180 and make you dislike them even more.

Somewhat related, but I think it says something when my favorite thing that Diablo Cody has done is Jennifer's Body... just a silly horror comedy with some clever writing and just horribly unlikeable characters that I love seeing get their due... I liked Juno better than I thought I would, honestly, but it still featured two of the personally most annoying actors at their absolute most annoying in Ellen Page and Michael Cera and that was just too sardonic for me.
I did like it, and I know exactly what you mean, Chico... my annoyance with the movie had more to do with the actors than the characters themselves, or the writing for that matter.
