On The Lost Projects of Harold Ramis
There's really no reason for a 3rd Ghostbusters movie. 2 isn't all that great but the first is a classic. "Leave them wanting more" is an adage Hollywood should revisit.

On The Newbie's Guide to How I Met Your Mother
My wife and I just plowed through the 6 seasons on Netflix streaming. Took us about 2 weeks. Now of course we're jonsing for season 7. Definitely one of the best sitcoms out there.

On An Exhaustive Guide to Who's Remaking Your Favorite Comedies
I like to think that Bill Murry is saving us from a horrific disaster that would be a 3rd Ghostbusters film by dragging his feet. It's just so unnecessary. I really like real genius but a modern remake would be awkward. half the pranks they pulled in the original would get them expelled today and the the resolution would be considered terrorism today so it would either be jarringly transgressive for a comedy if they did something similar or defanged to the point of inanity if they changed it.

On Kicking Off the Best Sitcom Episode Ever Tournament: I Love Lucy vs. The Honeymooners and The Simpsons vs. Seinfeld
Lucy and The Simpsons, no contest. Neither The Honeymooners nor Sienfeld have aged well. In the case of the Honeyooners, turns out that jokes about beating your wife just aren't funny anymore for some weird reason. As for Seinfeld, well, it was never funny to begin with and has just gotten tired. As for the 21st century brackets, I'm unimpressed. I can think of a dozen episodes of How I Met Your Mother that are funnier than any episode of The Office (UK or US, take your pick).
