Sure, we may not always have the money to act on all of our remodeling desires, but it sure is fun to think about it! That is why many of us like to curl up in front of the TV with a good home-decorating show and wonder, "What if...?" — or secure ideas for projects that you do have the bucks to make happen.

What is your home-decorating show of choice? Is it more about low-cost solutions, or geared toward bigger-budget overhauls? Share your favorite here in comments!

As The Office's April 10 return nears, we had a fun idea: Invite you to tell us who your favorite Dunder-Mifflin staffer is, as well as(and perhaps more importantly) why.

Is it Dwight and his short-sleeved polyester button-downs that do it for you? Is it Pam and her perkiness? Does Jan and her taste in dysfunctional men endear her to you? Or does Meredith and her unapologetic disinterest in sobriety hit uncomfortably close to home?

Obviously it's easy to cast your lot for a major player, but we'd also like to hear from those of you who have a special place in your heart for Toby or Creed. This is your chance to not only sing the praises of the usual suspects but also give The Office's unsung heroes their due.

READER POLL: Vote for your favorite D-M employee, past or present!

Does Steve Carell do well to avoid women's suits (unlike Office boss Michael Scott) and step out in style with wife Nancy Walls? Are Grey's doc Eric Dane and wife Rebecca Gayheart simply McDashing when they hit hot events?

Are you partial to Faith and Tim? Josh Brolin and Diane Lane? Or, at the end of the day, do Brangelina have it over all others?

Make your nomination here for the best-dressed celebrity couples.

Sherwood Schwartz, the creator of The Brady Bunch and Gilligan's Island (he also wrote the catchy Brady theme song), got his well-deserved Hollywood Walk of Fame star Friday. With Florence Henderson (who played Mrs. Carol Brady) and Dawn Wells (Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island) at his side, Schwartz joked that the Oscars had gotten the title of this year's Best Picture winner wrong. "Who says this is No Country For Old Men?" he joked. At 91, the kid's still got it!

In honor of Schwartz's achievements, here are my 15 all-time favorite Brady Bunch episodes, in chronological order. (You're lucky I stopped at 15. I could probably rank 100 by memory.)

"The Honeymoon": This is the pilot, in which Mike and Carol get married and combine their families, including three boys, three girls, a cat and a dog (who basically ruin the wedding).

"Lost Locket, Found Locket": There was not a dry eye in the O'Connor household when we found out that Alice sent Jan the locket because she's a middle child too.

"Confessions Confessions": "Mom always said: Don't play ball in the house"

"Will the Real Jan Brady Please Stand Up?" In this episode, Jan (the Neurotic Brady) buys a hilarious black wig because she thinks her blond hair is a liability. Um, since when?

"Grand Canyon or Bust": In part 2 of this three-parter, the two youngest Bradys stupidly follow a random Native American kid and get lost, leading to what seems like 12 minutes of the rest of the family shrieking "Bobby!" and then "Cindy!".

"Personality Kid": Peter wants a new personality -- Humphrey Bogart's, as it turns out. This episode spawns the catchphrase "pork chops and applesauce," the popularity of which has yet to fade.

"Her Sister's Shadow": "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!"

"The Not-So-Rose-Colored Glasses": This is the one when Jan is blind and vain. I could watch her crash into those garbage cans on a 24/7 loop and it would never stop being satisfying.

"Dough Re Mi": Peter voice cracks when the Brady kids sing a song called "Time to Change." Ironic!

"Pass the Tabu": This is the second part of another three-parter, where everything goes wrong for the Bradys because Greg starts wearing a ugly wooden necklace (the tiki) when he surfs. Obviously, it's cursed and needs to be buried or something.

"Love and the Older Man": Marcia falls in love with Dr. Vogel, her young, handsome dentist. In a series of fantasy sequences about their imaginary relationship, she pronounces herself "Mrs. Marcia Dentist."

"Everybody Can't Be George Washington": Without this episode, I would have no idea who Benedict Arnold was.

"The Subject Was Noses": "Hey, you guys... oh, my nose!"

"A Room at the Top": Marcia and Greg fight over who will get the converted attic bedroom. The best part of this episode is when Bobby and Cindy sit around the kitchen chalkboard figuring out how long it will be until they get their turn, and the answer is like 1980 or something.

"Adios, Johnny Bravo": The caricatures of the "Hollywood-type" record execs are hilarious -- as are the Greg-as-Bravo costumes.

Those are mine. What are yours?

In light of the sad news about Heath Ledger's overdose, we started thinking about some of the other bright young talents who never got to show the world what they might have done. Starting with Ledger and looking all the way back to the original actor who lived fast and died young, James Dean, here are some of our favorite stars who were gone before reaching the age of 30. — Nina Hämmerling Smith

Heath Ledger (April 4, 1979 — Jan. 22, 2008, accidental overdose):
Perhaps what's hardest about this loss was how unexpected it was; the star of Brokeback Mountain and 10 Things I Hate About You was a young father with a seemingly glowing future ahead of him. | Watch Heath Ledger clips.

Brad Renfro (July 25, 1982 — Jan. 15, 2008, unknown causes):
Trouble courted this young star, whose first role, in The Client, put him on the map as one to watch at the tender age of 11. Sadly, substance abuse and run-ins with the law plagued him toward the end of his life. | Watch Brad Renfro clips.

Aaliyah (Jan. 16, 1979 — Aug. 25, 2001, plane crash):
Aaliyah had just wrapped shooting a video in the Bahamas when her plane, overloaded with equipment, crashed shortly after takeoff. Although she was only 22, the R&B sensation had already had success both as a musician and as an actress in Romeo Must Die and Queen of the Damned. | Watch Aaliyah clips.

David Strickland (Oct. 14, 1969 — March 22, 1999, suicide):
The Suddenly Susan star, who had a history of drug and alcohol addiction, took his own life in a Las Vegas motel room. The movie Forces of Nature, in which he appeared with Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck, had opened shortly before his death. | Watch David Strickland clips.

River Phoenix (Aug. 23, 1970 — Oct. 31, 1993, drug overdose):
Beloved by fans around the world since his appearance in 1986's Stand by Me, Phoenix established himself as a serious actor in movies like My Own Private Idaho. He died outside of the L.A. night club the Viper Room on Halloween, after taking heroin and cocaine; his brother Joaquin called 911. | Watch River Phoenix clips.

Brandon Lee (Feb. 1, 1965 — March 31, 1993, accidental gunshot wound):
Rumors abounded of a curse on this talented family after the son of Bruce Lee, who himself died young, was killed on the set of The Crow. Brandon was shot in the abdomen by a malfunctioning prop gun. | Watch Brandon Lee clips.

Rebecca Schaeffer (Nov. 6, 1967 — July 18, 1989, homicide):
This promising young star, who was best known for her role opposite Pam Dawber in My Sister Sam, was murdered by a deranged stalker. In response to Schaeffer's death, California state law was changed to make it harder for would-be stalkers to obtain personal information about celebrities. | Watch Rebecca Schaeffer clips.

Freddie Prinze (June 22, 1954 — Jan. 29, 1977, suicide):
A dependence on quaaludes was likely largely responsible for the Chico and the Man star's decision to shoot himself in the head. He was also going through divorce proceedings at the time of his suicide. | Watch Freddie Prinzie clips.

Sharon Tate (Jan. 24, 1943 — Aug. 9, 1969, homicide):
The massacre of Tate and four of her friends at the hands of Charles Manson's "family" ranks among the most gruesome and notorious in American history. The Valley of the Dolls star and wife of Roman Polanski was eight and a half months pregnant at the time of her death. | Watch Sharon Tate clips.

James Dean (Feb. 8, 1931 — Sept. 30, 1955, car accident):
It's a testament to his charisma that Dean remains an indelible cultural icon more than 50 years after his death. His three film credits — Rebel Without a Cause, East of Eden and Giant — defined teen angst. Dean, who had a passion for fast cars, was killed while driving his Porsche on a stretch of California road. | Watch James Dean clips.

Did Justin Timberlake rock his Pepsi spot, or did the bubbly fall flat? Do the clydesdales still have some kick? Here's what we thought of this year's Super Bowl commercials. (You can also see which spots Matt Roush singled out here.)

The Best:
• Bud Light — "Now with the ability to breathe fire." A visual laugh-riot! | Watch video

• Diet Pepsi Max's "What Is Love" riff, featuring a Chris Kattan cameo (but no Will Ferrell. He's probably busy-ish). | Watch video

• FedEx's "Carrier Pigeons": bad idea for a courier service, great idea for a commercial. | Watch video

• Tide to Go's "Talking Stain" articulated everything we've ever felt about a distracting splotch on a shirt. | Watch video

• Bill Frist and James Carville's "Buy Me a Coke." (Carville is on fire this year, following that 30 Rock cameo.) | Watch video

• E*Trade's stock-savvy and spitting-up baby. | Watch video

• The NFL's Super Ad, featuring Ephraim Salaam and Chester Pitts.

• Jackie Moon (Will Ferrell) selling Bud Light. OK, maybe Ferrell isn't that busy. | Watch video

• The Stewie and Underdog floats going after the Coke-bottle float. Now that'd get me to turn out for the Macy's parade! | Watch video


The Worst:
• Audi's Godfather reference. Like Matt Mitovich, I simply did not get it. | Watch video

• G2's Derek Jeter spot. Does Jeter really care about calories? Really? | Watch video

• CareerBuilder.com's spot with the heart jumping out of the woman's chest was totally creepy, you must admit.

• Bud Light's cavemen inventing the wheel. (Um, haven't we had enough cavemen commercials by now? And TV series?) | Watch video

• Ice Breakers' Carmen Electra fan meet-and-greet. And the point was...? | Watch video

Share in comments your thoughts on the commercials — the good, the Bud and the ugly! — Nina Hämmerling Smith

News update: A survey by TiVo shows that the E*Trade ad with the spitting-up baby was the most-watched commercial of the game.

As reported earlier today, the folks behind American Idol are reviving Match Game. I may be in the minority here, but my restrained response to this news was something akin to "Woo-hoo!" I loved that show — both in its heyday and in reruns on the Game Show Network — if only because it's the strangest anthropological documentation of 1970s comedy, sexual mores and substance abuse that you're ever going to find on network television. It was pretty subversive for a game show (see examples on YouTube), with more cigarette smoking, daytime drinking and winking sexism/sexual innuendo than your average episode of Mad Men.

So we asked you who you'd put on the show's inaugural panel. Who are today's Richard Dawsons, Brett Sommerses, and Charles Nelson Reillys? And you responded in kind, with some very interesting suggestions. (Mario Cantone? Genius. Jimmy Fallon? Eh.) That said, here are my humble suggestions for the inaugural sextet. —

1) Pamela Anderson: If anyone knows her way around a double entendre, it's her.

2) Michael Ausiello: A lot of you have already suggested him, and I wholeheartedly concur. Though I've only known him for a few hours (I'm new around here), the steady stream of profanity coming from his office seems to indicate he'd be a natural for it.

3) Simon Cowell: Because he's kind of mean, kind of funny, and definitely a dirty bird.

4) Kathy Griffin: The author of Suck It, Jesus! would definitely do it... if only to trash her fellow panelists in her act later.

5) Allison Janney (The West Wing): If you've seen her on Ellen, you know she's a quick wit who's got the devil in her.

6) Romany Malco (The 40-Year-Old-Virgin, Weeds): The man has a way with filth.

Jeez, writing this post was difficult. (How difficult was it!?!) "It was so difficult that.... " Oh, never mind.

So, let's keep it going. Which stars would you like to see fill in Match Game's blanks? Did I aim too high? Are we more likely to get the likes of Romber and Alfonso Ribeiro? — Mickey O'Connor
