Sometimes his guest star was a big old canker sore on his lip. Probably from Rommel.

I have learned that a show should never go more than 5 or 6 seasons. They always become awful after that. They should also have a satisying ending. Breaking bad, and the new Battle Star Gallactica ended with a real ending with the correct amount of seasons before they got stale. How I met your mother on the other hand, should have ended at least 3 seasons before they did, but it at least had an ending.

He’s done bits on a lot of shows, and some movies too.

He was the family dad in a movie called “Harry and the Hendersons”, in which the Henderson family hit a sasquatch while on a road trip. It is only stunned, ends up home with them, and naturally, gets named Harry. Hairy, get it?

I’m kinda partial Stana Katic myself. Hubba hubba

Hayden is good on Nashville. I didn’t think I’d like that show, and the Payton Place aspect to it, I can do without. But the music is really pretty good.

Caught a free concert with Clare Bowman and Charles Esten at the Indiana State Fair and they really can sing.it was funny to hear the Aussie come out when Clare was speaking though.

"I have learned that a show should never go more than 5 or 6 seasons. They always become awful after that."

Curious observation. I've noted that 6 years is roughly the time it takes for even some of the best members of Congress to go stale (with few exceptions).

“The characters are outstanding - and one of the most powerful moments I’ve ever seen in any TV series is in one of those episodes.”

Season 1, Episode 13 “Heart of Gold.” The scene where Inara breaks down sobbing following Mal’s night with Nandi in the brothel.

I was watching them and my family grew to hate the theme song. I made up words and all that and sang it around the house. The blaring intro is a great ringtone.
