To the right of Potsie's head of hair is director Gary Marshall (aka Laverne's real-life brother) and behind him the aforementioned Clint Howard with the Orioles bucket on.

Anybody watch:

Terriers?

Luther (on BBCA starring Stringer Bell)?

Bored to Death (this season)?

Trying to figure out what to delete from DVR and what to give a whirl on.

Bored to Death I've seen a couple eps of this season. It's been forgettable. Zack G. is good, every other character can be found somewhere in the range of slightly to very annoying. Also it would appear that they wrote off Jenny Slate's character. Her career sure has taken a nose dive.

I have the season DVR'd but don't think I'm up for round 2. In the little I've seen, it seems like Zach G is playing...Zach G. Which is a turnaround from the first season.

I'm pretty sure this show is catering to hipsters or some segment of the population that I'm not part of anyways. I can see there being a following, and it has moments, but they're few and far between and they almost exclusively involve ZG (at least as far as I'm concerned.) The Rushmore kid and the guy that was in 3 Men and a Baby with Magnum PI and that Jewish Actor annoy the shit out of me in this show.

Basically, depending on who's playing SNF, it might get watched between Boardwalk Empire and Eastbound & Down, but it doesn't deserve a spot on your DVR.

It's definitely a hipster show that I'm sure all the 'look at me' glasses, skinny pant-wearing house-poor goofballs are all quoting Monday mor---I mean, afternoon (they're not up Monday morning).

But the silly slapstick and lit name-dropping has gotten old.

I'm sure it's well loved in Park Slope.

tballa, is Park Slope more families or hipsters? What's the most similar n-hood in Boston? Hipsters and yuppie families don't inhabit too many of the same areas up here.

Hipsters are taking Brooklyn over except for the parts they're afraid to go. They're afraid of the blacks and russians.

Heard Mikhail Prokhorov is putting together a plan to ship them all to Siberia.

Watched "Undeclared" on IFC right now. Never caught it first time around. But it's got a good pedigree.

Well there's certainly nothing to prevent them from trying it again like the Hulk. Or even with good flick like 'Spider-Man'. Not too mention Steve Prefontaine and Truman Capote each got two flicks.
