- The FCC takes on NYPD Blue, five years later.
- Neat Simpsons episode tonight, which utterly destroyed any sense of the show's chronological consistency by positing a period during the 1990s before Homer and Marge were married in which Marge attended Springfield University, Homer invented grunge ("Kurt! This is your cousin Marvin ... Marvin Cobain ... remember that new sound you were looking for? Well, listen to this!"), many forms of political correctness of the early 1990s were mocked -- I mean, basically, it was an excuse for a big pile of cheap gags and cultural references, but it was a pretty damn funny pile of instastalgia for viewers of a certain age.
- Daniel Day-Lewis, accepting his SAG Award tonight: “It has always been the work of my fellow actors, including my fellow nominees, who have given me a sense of regeneration. Heath Ledger gave it to me. We wanted to follow him and yet we were afraid to follow him. In Brokeback Mountain, he was unique. He was perfect. The scene in the trailer at the end of the movie was as moving as anything we have ever seen. I ‘d like to dedicate this award to him.”
- Okay, I'm on the Make Me A Supermodel train. It was the waxing scene that sealed it.
- How much is it killing SNL's Darrell Hammond that the strike is preventing him from bringing back his Bill Clinton on a weekly basis?
