Granted, for a partner dance, they had no choice but to show a recording of Russel dancing. However, I was really disappointed that they had to show a recording of the top 20 dancing. Really? 19 other dancers missed their chance to perform because just one was hurt.

By the way, he didn't look that hurt when he learned he won.

Regardless, Russel was actually my favorite to win. I loved him throughout the season. The director/producer really screwed the pooch on the finale though.
Welcome to the internet. Please turn down the volume on your keyboard. (i.e., Caps Lock)
When Jack and Kenneth are talking in the picket line, Jack asks "What do you want?" and Kenneth replies "You know what I want." in a gravely voice. I can't tell if that's reference to Batman or Watchmen?
I find it troubling to find this app advertised on a number of blogs recently, including RTM's. This app has some obvious issues and bugs that are not even mentioned in this article, but I've seen them left in comments elsewhere.

Did the author here actually install and use the app before posting about it? Or are you just passing along impressions from other people?

I'm bothered because I did install this and I feel like I wasted my time.
Thanks for pointing that out, because I was getting frustrated when I would see the cover I wanted pop-up briefly but then another image finally appeared. It would be better if the service had some navigation for results instead requiring such an undocumented feature.
I really enjoy Mike Judge's balance between characterization and comedy.

Of course the Goode Family has an obvious political angle, but the show works because you can sympathize with the characters. They are trying to live to a certain moral code and their faults and humor show when they ignore common sense to live to a sometimes ridiculous standard.

In fact, the show would have worked just as well if the family was conservative. The formula for the show is that it makes fun of how they live to their liberal standards -- not just why they live their lives to those standards.

The "Good/Bad" marquee in the grocery store sums up that show best.
There was also the scene where Stuart flashed his chest to Larry, in what was an obvious nod to Arrested Development (when Kitty would do the same to Michael).

As much as I love Arrested Development, this show is only mildly funny and therefore disappointing. No reason to throw a conniption, though.
Time Waster? It's Mac-only, and that requires me to waste a lot more than time.
I easily remember Ben Stiller too. In fact, he first showed off his grown-up Freddie Munster character on Mike Meyers' Deiter sketch -- a character he reprised on the Ben Stiller Show in "Cape Munster".
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm heading to university next year, and I've purchased a MacBook. I'm also taking my four year old desktop, just in case I'm left with no computers when the MacBook is being repaired or whatnot. With only two USB ports on a MacBook, I want a Bluetooth mouse. Budget is about $100, and of course, it needs OS X support. Thanks for the help!"
