SEINFELD SEASONS 5 & 6 By Fall 1993, this sitcom was reaching the apex of its catchphrase-minting cultural power--so much so that mayoral candidate Rudolph Giuliani made a cameo in an episode about bogus nonfat frozen yogurt. These 46 episodes include "The Puffy Shirt" (in which Jerry agrees to wear a flouncy pirate top on the Today show), and introduced J. Peterman (John O'Hurley, before he danced with the stars) and the concept of "regifting." Seinfeld's best and darkest seasons were just ahead, but no one is likely to regift this set, all the same...

Gary Oldman?s Sirius, the human-canine from the third film, has a bright cameo as a face in the fireplace. The movie strikes black gold with Alistair ?Mad-Eye?

The amazing cast, including Joan Cusack and Steve Zahn, is actually qualified to do solid vocal work, not just be a cool celebrity cameo (I’m looking at you, Katie Couric in “Shark Tale”). But they can’t turn bad lines into good ones. Braff conquers with his delivery and lucks out on having some choice lines with which to work?...
...start opening for Miles Davis, Horn made records and played clubs around her native Washington, then largely retreated to spend time with her family. A shining comeback in the late 1980s led to numerous honors, a Grammy, and a popular 1991 album You Won't Forget Me, featuring a cameo from Davis, her lifelong champion, recorded shortly before he died...
