We realize there's only so much time one can spend in a day watching new trailers, viral video clips, and shaky cell phone footage of people arguing on live television. This is why every day The Atlantic Wire highlights the videos that truly earn your five minutes (or less) of attention. Today:

Our love for Laurie Metcalf knows no bounds. That said, who knew back in 1995 Roseanne would be so on point with Internet addiction. Sad? Weird? Funny? Prophetic? Creepier than those Internet-predicting kids who were also from 1995? You decide. 

Mr. Rogers, Bob Ross, and Julia Child have them. So, it's about time  that Inside the Actor's Studio and James Lipton gets its own musical remix. And, who knew architecture was so popular with actors? 

Today's "Severe Weather Alert" is brought to you from Balphagore, the eater of souls! 

And finally, this video is all the proof you need: tiny dogs cannot and should not be trusted.
