(S02E07) From the preview, the opening was pretty much just what I expected. A cryogenic facility at GD is being torn down and someone is discovered frozen in one of the chambers - Fargo's grandfather.

This week Ray Liotta was arrested for drinking and driving. With so many stars getting taken in for DWI's it makes you think that maybe Hollywood is suffering from a severe alcohol problem. But upon closer look, it's clear that folks like Ray Liotta, Nicole Richie and Mel Gibson enjoy paraphrasing the popular bumper sticker... They get drunk, they drive, their expensive lawyers and publicists get them off the hook and do damage control...no problem!

(S05E06) The story for this week's episode was more involved, which is a good thing. A little plot goes a long way. When the plot gets too thin everything rides on the gags, and it is hard to pull off an episode with just gags. While the sex-ed story has been told many times, I liked the Family Guy take on it.

Chevy Chase has started shooting an episode of Law & Order in which he plays a celebrity who is stopped for drunk driving and whose "religious prejudice" comes out -- okay, he's playing Mel Gibson. Since this is Law & Order and not, say, Reno 911!, Chevy's fictional character will also be found with blood on him, making for a major-crimes angle.
Before undergoing surgery, Cuban leader Fidel Castro ceded power to his half-brother Raul. Bureau Chief de Havana Rob Corddry joined in to elaborate. The "Hollaaaaaah!" thing made me laugh because I know I've had occasions when I've accidentally read "Hola" that way. And although the "ceremonial passing of the beard" thing was great, Jon being caught off guard by Rob's sexiness was the best part. Mild flirtation between the TDS boys makes me happy (there really hasn't been enough of it since Stephen Colbert left).Continue reading The Daily Show: August 1, 2006
After Mel Gibson allegedly let loose an anti-Semitic rant while he was being arrested for DUI last week, many were speculating to what degree the tirade was going to hurt the Oscar-winning director's career. Well, the first piece of evidence may be in: ABC has decided to drop the Holocaust-themed miniseries it was developing with Gibson's production company.
And I'm not talking about those PSA's he filmed for the L.A.P.D. that are now popping up after his arrest for drunk driving over the weekend, nor am I talking about Lethal Weapon. I'm talking about a couple of episodes of the short-lived ABC sitcom Complete Savages a few years ago. Gibson appeared as an L.A.P.D. officer in funny fake PSAs for the department, talking about motorcycle safety, wearing the right equipment, etc. Gibson produced the sitcom too.
Anyone have those spots on tape or DVD and can upload them to YouTube?
