On Yes, Dear < Taxi: What Older Shows Would You Like to See on TV Again?

Well, you said Get Smart, which was my first thought when reading this piece's headline, and you threw in MST3K as well, although you say it had nearly 2000 episodes, which is merely a typo, but one that greatly changes the scope of what you are saying. Also, there are a ton of MST3K's on Netflix. Honestly, I can't think of another sitcom that would likely hold up (with an apology to my childhood love of Welcome Back, Kotter) that hasn't been named already. Good work, everybody.

On Ranking the Anniversary Episodes of The Simpsons

I'm just glad you used the actual milestone episodes, instead of the episodes that were marketed as milestones. I would have had "Strong Arms" lowest, it is one of my least favorite episodes in the show's history (although I don't like "Kent" either), but I also feel a little more positively toward the Skinner episode, but I'm a big fan of Skinner and Chalmers, so there's that.

On The Office Recap: "Gettysburg"

In case you were actually curious, no, they did not actually film at Gettysburg.

On Is the 2011-2012 Sitcom Schedule the Worst in a Decade?

I will forever defend Cavemen. Cavemen was a good show. I fear no reprisals.

On Ranking Every Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Segment, From Worst to First

I've never really been a fan of Treehouse of Horror episodes, even though The Simpsons is my favorite thing ever, and as such only three really stick out to me: Citizen Kang, Fly vs. Fly, and Reaper Madness. I love the ending of Reaper Madness, Citizen Kang is the best one, and Fly vs. Fly has my favorite line from any ToH episode: "The pants are a dead giveaway."

On Free Agents Recap: "Pilot"

I liked it. I thought it showed promise. Although, I also thought Nathasha Leggero's character was the worst part of it. Still, I'm definitely going to give it at least a few more episodes to see where they intend to go.

On This Week in Comedy Podcasts

Not that it is terribly relevant to the proceedings, but the song played during Paul F. Tompkins' intro was "I Was Born a Unicorn" by a band aptly named The Unicorns. I'm not sure what "math rock" is exactly, and I don't even know if it is a real thing or a set of arbitrary endpoints like a lot of musical sub-genres, but I can safely assure you The Unicorns is not a part of it.

On Can I Borrow an Answer? My Night of Simpsons Trivia

Is there anything like this in the Los Angeles area? Also, I consider season nine to be part of the glory day of The Simpsons, and I think season 10 is when things start to dip in quality. This is, of course, part of the issue of having a "Classic Simpsons" trivia night, because "Classic" is subjective.
