This week's edition of Entertainment Weekly magazine (#638, Feb. 8, 2002) in the "What to Watch" section in which an editor picks a couple of programs he wants the reader to catch. This blurb I found quite charming. In case you don't subscribe I will let you know what it says word for word:

Thurs, Feb 7th 7-8 pm
The Directors: Terry Gillam (Encore Channel)
When I saw Brazil for the first time at age 14, I didn't know what the hell was going on. Of course, at the time I also had "The Smiths" written in bleach on the back of my jean jacket, so needless to say I was a bit confused in general. Now, of course, it's one of my favorite flicks......and yet, I still kinda like Morrissey.

And there's the scoop- it is really odd that such a commentary is used for a tv show review like this. What's more odd than that is the mention in such a mainstream American magazine.
