Anyone else care to try "Crime Scene Scenarios" for 500?

lesser_celery and I are still watching Millennium.

This latest episode is guest-starring Charles Nelson Reilly.

I feel like the two hemispheres of my brain just collided.

"He didn't just buy the magazines. He read the story. And he liked it."

I've got a bit of a headache, but it's very funny. How did the Scientologists not sue them into the next millennium?

The 'Don't be dark' episode! I loved that one. Tiny dancing demons, grousing in a coffee shop about their lot in life; Frank smiling in the most unnatural way possible.

I miss that show.

You're thinking of "Somehow Satan Got Behind Me" -- not only scripted by Darin Morgan but directed by him as well (his first and only time in the director's chair. I think the episode suffers a bit as a result; clumsy staging and slow pacing. But still wonderfully funny. "I am Broadcast Standards and Practices! This is unacceptable!")

The episode sovay's talking about is "Jose Chung's Doomsday Defense", a sequel to an episode of X-Files (see my comment below), in which Jose Chung (Reilly) and Frank Black encounter the dangerously litigious "Selfology Institute".

Selfosophy!

You're right! Completely got them mixed up.

Yes on "Don't be dark," no on the demons in the coffeeshop. I haven't seen that one yet.

That one is my other favorite. Also "Somehow, Satan got behind me." was a catch phrase of mine for a little while.

It's a magnificent line. Is it from a song or does it just sound like it should be?

[cucumberseed.livejournal.com]

I'm not aware of any songs with it, butt there should be.

I'm not aware of any songs with it, but there should be.

I have this probably burning-in-hell wrong idea it should be a cheerful country-and-western.

[cucumberseed.livejournal.com]

No, it sounds like a pretty legitimate country song, that and it scans country when I sing it. Maybe Those Crooked Bastards country.

Cheerful country-and-western

With apologies to cucumberseed:

"Somehow Satan got behind me
Like he's done to me so many times before
And Lord above I thank You for Your mercy
'Cause he only pushed me through the whorehouse door."

I'm not sure if this is meant to be the first verse or the chorus. We'll see if I can write more of it, and if the tune I'm thinking of actually works or not.

I stand corrected. For some reason, I smashed the two EPs together.
