I can’t believe there’s an entire one-hour documentary on the More Cowbell sketch. It was pretty good.

I loved this show and it got me teary a few times. So much beautiful music I’ve never heard before. Larson died in 1995; he’d be 65 today. What would he think about the past 30 years, and what would he have written in that time? How would he have evolved as a composer? Such a loss.

So I’ve started Newhart, and already Larry, Darryl, and Darryl have shown up in the second episode - fully fleshed-out, with exactly the clothing and mannerisms they’ll have for eight seasons.

Sarah Snook and Sadie Sink will be performing in theaters across the street from each other, and I feel like some wordplay is appropriate but I can’t think of any

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Back in summer 2004, I met @hitormiss.org's mom & her two friends for the first time when they came to visit NYC. One afternoon we're all walking down Fifth Avenue right past Trump Tower. At that exact moment, you-know-who walks out of the building & into a waiting limo. I still think about it.

Oh wow. I loved this book, and although opera often isn't my cup of tea I might need to see this.

After seven months I've finished the six seasons of The Bob Newhart Show. In the last couple of years I've watched 7 seasons of Mary Tyler Moore, 3+ seasons of Rhoda, 6 seasons of Bob Newhart... that's nearly 400 episodes of 1970s MTM-produced shows. Meow. Next up is Newhart.

This is the first time Meryl Streep has ever appeared on SNL. That her character is referring to her nether region as an "Into the Woods situation" is just bonus. #SNL50

Next year is NBC’s 100th anniversary. I wonder what they have planned? Their 60th anniversary special was a big part of my childhood introduction to TV history. They also did a 90th anniversary special.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)
