I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

DC doesn't seem to have a series on that chart, but it should obviously be X-Files.

(Seinfeld is in the wrong place, though - I mean, the number of eps that took place outside Manhattan can be counted on one hand...)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

More prominent show set in the state, wider variety of characters that are pretty true to life here despite being fictional, created by people from the state, Arkansas location a major feature of the show instead of just background.

Yeah, I'm thinking that's not the graphic's angle in the least.

Ugh - cleaning woman has been here 6 hours and hasn't even gotten to the kitchen yet. Quick, someone tell me I'm not a complete failure as an adult!

(I knew there was a reason I wanted to be out of the house for this...)

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

It's probably not you, Jessica. She's been hired for all day, so she's going to take all day. Plus, she's probably trying to be extra thorough because you're in the house.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Along with a number of his other works on display, such as David 2020, Trojan Virus and There’s Something About Mary, comes this sculpture from Mauro Perucchetti, Modern Heroes, depicting Batman and Superman in a pose reminiscent of The Creation of Adam in The Sistine Chapel.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Why do the comments have nothing to do with the article? [link] Are people just hijacking the comments, or is the Sun Times just really random in how they organize comments?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Georgia was better represented by "I'll Fly Away," but I think we're stuck with the Dukes and Boss Hogg.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

"I'll Fly Away" was soooooo excellent.

Mork & Mindy, Baywatch, Golden Girls--this isn't exactly a sociological exercise. It's a grab at laughs.
