Oh Rachel..I like you but quit giggling and laughing during your presentation. Just get to the POINT. I love Chris Hayes and Lawrence, but I find myself yelling "just shut up and get on with it" during her show. I can deal with the hand-waving and other dramatics, but QUIT GIGGLING!!! She just did it again covering the Barr hearings.

When I saw Padma's giant shoulder pads all I could think was Carol Burnet in her green curtains. "Ah saw it in the window and Ah just had to have it...""

Was the 66 year old from Haiti named Chantelle? She's slender and well-spoken and talked about her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. How could she make it this far being unable to cook? She doesn't look like she's spent six decades chowing down on fast food. Must be the lure of the $25K.

OK, so some of my online friends will know it's me, but I HATE HATE HATE it when servers who are supposed to be seating diners for a high-end meal call the patrons "you guys". It's one thing if you're bumming around at your local pub but another if you go for table seating and expecting first class service. While we all know it's fake and scripted, RW should know how to greet guests. From Sean Connery in one of my all-time favorite movies, The Untouchables)..."Here endeth the lesson".

OK, I'll jump in and say RW bores me to tears. Padma promotes it like a royal wedding. I want to see chefs cook, not pick out tablecloths and explain to extras how to serve tables. '

OK - fess up you guys. Just watched the latest Chopped. Have any of you actually eaten Rocky Mountain Oysters? Enquiring minds want to know.

thank you. You made me laugh.

Does Martha ever get through an ep without (a) promoting some product from her farm or (b) using the word "tasty"? Other than her smug superiority, I enjoyed the breakfast show.

Has anyone identified the place? It looks like a mini White House.

Didn't one if my favorite screenwriters David Mamet include him in most of his films?

I'm actually liking this season because it's holding my interest waiting for people I dislike to get busted.

"The fall will probably kill ya".

I rewatched All The President's Men yesterday and was knocked out by the precision of the script and the underplaying of Redford and Hoffman. Now on to Marathon Man and Princess Bride!

Anyone see the spot where a British-accented narrator intones "if you are on the list for a liver transplant..." and goes on to imply you can jump the line by signing up with a living donor program? SMH. They find an advertising budget for this stuff while people are going bankrupt trying to pay for inadequate health care coverage.

Just finished the Judges Thanksgiving Dinner episode and it was the best GGG ever. I was salivating over every single dish.

Unsurpassed as a novelist, screenwriter, script doctor. I think I read or saw everything he wrote.

Time fot me to jump back on the Giada Bugs the Hell Out of Me Train. When she waves those little sleeveless stick arms around and clacks those T Rex teeth I just have to look away.

This ep caused serious discord at Maison Pig. Mr liked it and I thought it stunk. The only things I liked were Hershel and the horse. After the big buildup to "Rick's last episode" and ending the previous with Rick impaled on rebar, they have him ride around forever (on said gorgeous steed), detonate a bomb, and helicopter off into the sunset with Jadis/Anne. All a big ruse to give the producers a way to do features.

I can't wait for Tuesday when they'll knock off the political ads. No, mods - this isn't about candidates. It's that we have a proposition in California about animal cruelty that broadcasts 24/7 and I can't stand the shots of tortured animals. I already voted. I know this goes on all over the world and do what I can, but Geez. I can't hit the mute button fast enough.

This was the most ridiculously plotted episode ever. 20 minutes of Negan talking. 20 minutes of Rick and Daryl fighting in a hole. The only thing I liked was Rick's gorgeous white horse and you all know what happened with that.

Wasn't RR an Oprah protégé like (cough) Dr. Phil?

Aw this one hits home. My sister had dinner with him and Tobe Hooper (both of Poltergeist) and James regaled them with tales of his New York days with buddy Marlon Brando. RIP

I agree. That cold shoulder is ridiculous and will go the way of 80s shoulder pads. But I can't stand RR no matter what she wears.

Hi y'all. I'm actually enjoying this season. The plots are moving along. Who was the guy in Maggie's wagon in the opening sequence? I have horrible facial recognition and can't keep any of my sisters-in-law straight at family dinners. Dunce that I am, I can see they are setting up Maggie and Daryl as a couple. What's with Anne-now-Jadis-again and the helicopter?

Thank you for saving what are left of my brain cells. You're right - Volvo and The Magic Flute. I can die a happy woman.
