Whatever happened to Arie and Lauren staying off social media?

Etude in Black. I love this one. John Cassavetes and Peter Falk were close friends. They obviously enjoyed doing this show. They have great chemistry. I also found John sexy and attractive. Everything in this episode worked. Blythe Danner as the mousy wife. Myrna Loy as the mother. I can watch this one over and over. I still laugh when Alex Benedict states he is going to use the bathroom in the gas station to wash his hands. We know he went in there to open the window for later. But the fact a smart dressed man is going to use that disgusting dirty bathroom to wash his hands is hilarious.

I watched Short Fuse last night. This one always makes me shake my head at Roddy McDowall. He was in his 40s when he did this one. Yet they have him dressed and acting like he is a college kid. Playing with the silly string and dressing in a way I can't even describe. Those tight pants. OMG. But the final scene is a great one.

I watched Suitable for Framing and Lady in Waiting. They are both movies that I really enjoy. Ross Martin is great as the greedy nephew. His crushed velvet jacket and need to ask everyone the time to get his alibi. I must remember to wear a bright red sweater and culottes if I am ever running away from a murder scene. The guest stars in this one are great. He really thought he could frame his aunt. Susan Clark's makeover was fun. I laughed at her fancy hat she wore to the board meeting. She left so much to chance at her murder.

I didn't think it was fair that Wendell got to run back and get the bag at the challenge. The other tribes had to bring their bags while blindfolded. When he realized they had left it behind he ran back and got it. That tribe won. I just thought it was a bit unfair. The tribe should have had to go back blindfolded and retrieve it.

I just watched Dead Weight from 1971. It is the one with Eddie Albert & Suzanne Pleshette. The General in this one always gave me the creeps. The way he sought out the female witness and began to date her. He had Suzanne's character doubting what she saw while Columbo believed her. It was another one where Columbo was eating chili and getting ideas.

I enjoy this show. I suspected the woman trapped in the room was in on it.

I don't know why they all kept referring to Diana as beautiful. I thought she had a big nose and was kind of unattractive.

I do not like when someone snoops in someone's bag. I really wish Jeff would expose them. It would be enjoyable to me if Jeff announced it the next time he is on screen with the snooper. Players would quit doing it if they thought they would be outed.

I disliked Bradley last week when he continued to whine about the camp. This week my dislike increased. I wanted him gone. How dare that little weasel compare himself to Boston Rob. I did enjoy the fear on Bradley's face when he was gulping for air at TC. He talks big. But that is all. I can't wait till he is booted.

Does Molly understand she needs to have sex with Jon to have all these babies she is expecting?

I am looking forward to it.

I am so glad I stuck with this show. At first I was kind of iffy on it. But now I really enjoy it. I often rewind to hear the jokes again. Dylan is killing it.

This convo between Arie & Lauren is making me sick to my stomach.

I am wearing my comfy nightgown and my cubic zirconia earrings. They are more gaudy than diamonds. They just suit my mood. We are opening the champagne when the Oscars start.

Cast has been revealed on the main Big Brother site. 14 houseguests plus 2 more voted in from a choice of 4.

I don't like the block. I noticed in both cases last night it did not help the coach that hit the blocked button. The singers in both cases picked another coach. I would not want to pick a coach that prevented me from having the coach I most wanted. It seems to hurt the singer more than the coach.

Lauren is just so boring. What does he see in her personality? Becca is much more fun to be around.

I laughed every time I saw Kody inside wearing his black leather serial killer gloves. He kept rubbing his hands together. Tony was trotting around looking for everyone for photos. He had a huge chain of keys hanging off his belt loop. I hope he didn't keep the keys clanging on his hip during the ceremony.

I will add to the cattiness. I think Lauren's nose is what keeps her from being beautiful. It looks rather crooked.

I prefer this show to Kevin Can Wait.

I wonder what Kevin's nightmare of a mother thinks of Ashley.

I was so sick of Robyn. I just wanted her to leave. I was not happy she begged to return to the kitchen. I did not like to listen to her talking heads.

I followed up the pilot with watching the first episode of the series Ransom for a Dead Man (1971). This one stars Lee Grant. Another great episode. I really do enjoy looking at the old mansions they used in the series. They are so gaudy and tacky looking. I noticed they used the same tactic as in the pilot. In that one they had Gene Barry leave the room and the camera showed he left his handkerchief on the phone. Then we see him return to take the handkerchief with him. In this one they showed Lee Grant leave the briefcase behind. The camera stayed on it. But she returned to grab it. Of course it never matters since Columbo always catches them anyway. I did laugh at Columbo with his lost pen outside the door of the mansion. He has Lee Grant and then others helping him look for the pen. I love when he does things like this.

I just watched Prescription: Murder (1968 pilot). I have always enjoyed this one with Gene Barry. They use different music at the intro. Falk looks so much younger. I really appreciated the scenes between Falk and Barry in the office. They are describing Columbo very well.
