Maybe it was another movie, or maybe you just remember wishing you were the doc with an easy excuse to cop a feel on Mallory's mom. And yes, QT was an Elvis on Golden Girls. I happened to catch the ep while in college and was aghast when I caught Mr. Pulp Fiction buried among Elvi. - RE: MBB boobs – I spent some time dredging google’s gutter for info and that made-for-TV movie is all I got.

I forget the guy's name, but the guy at Hey Jenny Slater did a post last year comparing college football programs to characters on The Simpsons. This post had the same clever concept but applied it to a genre, 80's sitcoms. And since I'm in my late 20's I found it pretty funny. Wizards as The Jeffersons is very accurate.

For not knowing that, you're dead to me. Seriously. D-E-D, dead. A Vonni Ribisi reference or a mention of Klawicki's Deli might have gotten you over the hump, but sorry. More "My Two Dads" trivia... Florence Stanley, who played the judge and is dead now, was the voice of Peter's mother on a couple episodes of "Family Guy". Oh, and yeah, I think they were gay. I mean, some of those sweaters...

Balki was the most entertaining late 80s TV foreigner, and Manu is the most entertaining NBA foreigner. Balki and Larry had excellent chemistry, and Manu and Duncan have excellent chemistry. Sure, Larry was boring, but so is Duncan. And Larry had a perm, and early in the year Duncan had a semi-afro. Their girlfriends could be Tony Parker and Bruce Bowen. Essential pieces to the Spurs winning it all, but clearly, in the last 5 mins of a close game, everybody knows which two guys are touching the ball.

F**king A+ quality post. Simmonsonian-like? Simmonsih? absolutely. And, as you say, i don't see a reason that should be a knock. I really don't understand the recent Simmons' hating/jumping the shark stuff that's been happening lately. Has his stuff tapered off from it's peak from a couple of years ago? Has the quality/frequency of his postings declined? In my OPINION yeah. But I really don't blame him one bit. He's 30something, married, and has a kid. He's grown up and he's writing from a completely different perspective. I actually think he should retire the Sportsguy label so people won't constantly compare his recent stuff to his classic works from the days of yore. And practically every sportsblogger out there has to admit they have been influenced/inspired by the guy. The hatin' he's getting reminds me of how hiphop fans get on rappers who have made it and suddenly lose the grittiness/"real-ness" of their earlier albums when they start concentrating on bitches and bling... Does it suck? Absolutely. But I really think those rappers keep it more real than the guys who try to pretend they're still street/keeping it real, when they're so far removed from such a life. It is what it is. I agree with many of the commenters: mighty MJD is representing the comedic blogging rather well. To boldly admit you watched the golden girls. Balls. The writers on that show churned out some great/funny lines. MJD,

Simmonsonian-like? Simmonsih? absolutely. And, as you say, i don’t see a reason that should be a knock. I really don’t understand the recent Simmons’ hating/jumping the shark stuff that’s been happening lately. Has his stuff tapered off from it’s peak from a couple of years ago?

The hatin’ he’s getting reminds me of how hiphop fans get on rappers who have made it and suddenly lose the grittiness/”real-ness” of their earlier albums when they start concentrating on bitches and bling… Does it suck? Absolutely. But I really think those rappers keep it more real than the guys who try to pretend they’re still street/keeping it real, when they’re so far removed from such a life. It is what it is.

I think this one would've been made earlier than that, and I remember some kind of sexual connotation... And to everyone else who commented, thanks.

I know, not an 80's sitcom but the best fit. Baron Davis is definitely Brenda Walsh. He shows moments of being a quality individual but can be a real a-hole when things don't go his way. Jason Richardson is Brandon. Always reliable, never has an unkind word, and gets the job done every night. Mike Dunleavy is David Silver. Thinks he's much cooler than any white guy could possibly be. I'm pretty sure he's planning a rap album as well. Mike Montgomery is Andrea Zuckerman - too motherly and when he tries to be assertive it comes off lame. Troy Murphy is Kelly Taylor because at first glance his game is kind of hot but as time has gone by there's nothing really that fantastic about him. Monta Ellis is that kid who accidentally shot himself when playing with a gun but I'm not sure why. The Golden State Warriors are Beverly Hills 90210. I know, not an 80′s sitcom but the best fit.
