  6. I would say Office Space, but I watched most of NewsRadio and he was much more hilarious in that :)

  7. B is the patron saint of every cubicle drone out there, even if you think you're hot shit making 6 figures worth of paper coupons.

  9. I forgot it was Goodman's character who was the Cyclops...can't remember what character from Homer's Odyssey the blind DJ represented....

  10. He was Homer himself!

  12. Jimmy James, author of the autobiographical book, Macho Business Donkey Wrestler.

    You all really should watch News Radio sometime. Best sitcom of all time.

  14. Speaking of ubiquitous actors, is anyone else at all freaked out (a little bit) that Michael Stuhlbarg seems to be in every new movie and tv series lately?

    2. (He was really good as Arnold Rothstein in the tolerable parts of Boardwalk Empire though)

  15. I’d say it has to be his iconic star turn as Raymond, a hunting store owner involved in illegal gun trading, in the 1993 In the Heat of the Night episode "A Love Lost".

    I love Wikipedia!

  16. B (although he was great in Dodgeball, as well.)

    ReplyDelete
  17. A. NewsRadio was the best.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I thought Barry was pretty good! My first thought was A, NewsRadio.

    ReplyDelete
  19. News Radio, although I would say Bill Deutrive on King of the Hill.

    ReplyDelete
  20. A) because I'm officially an elder (at 49)

  21. Stapler...but you could go back to a nice little scene (his first film) in Crocodile Dundee 2

    ReplyDelete
  22. Newsradio all the way

    ReplyDelete
  23. Y'all forgot Bill Deauterive on "King of the Hill".
    And of course, B.

  27. How about all four and include the Washington Spy series on AMC?
    (He portrayed the guy who organized and ran Washington's spy network during the Revolutionary War.)

  28. Also, the blind radio station owner in Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?. Love this guy.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I saw him in Get Out and immediately thought of O Brother Where Art Thou

  30. I'd say he was the eccentric millionaire in Northern Exposure. Then my friend would say, "No, that was Barry Corbin." Then I'd say, "Oh, right, I always get that mixed up." Then I'd go with A for people my age and B for younger.

  31. Bag man in Boardwalk Empire.

    ReplyDelete
  32. In order: B, D and A.

  33. Jimmy James from Newsradio, the funniest sitcom of all time. Maybe not greatest, -- it didn't break down barriers like MASH or All in the Family or Cosby Show. But for pure humor, it doesn't get better.

    1. Yes, exactly! Whenever we saw him in anything else, hubby and I would be like "Jimmy James!"

      That whole cast was great (except Joe Rogan). Now knowing what a prick Andy Dick was, it's hard for me to enjoy it nearly as much. But it was brilliant.

      Steven Root is so underrated, he is amazingly talented!!

  37. Is Dan Schneider going down? Nickelodeon just cut ties with him.

  38. Jimmy James from News Radio.
    I still remember the goofy episode wherein one character insisted on knowing what the rules of management were, despite being warned that they didn't want to know. And Jimmy James tormented her the whole episode trying to teach her the rules of management.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Jimmy James, period.

  40. E. Bill from King of The Hill
