Also Lysachek skating to it when he won gold. If we're going to talk about how to value quads, Lysachek vs. Plushenko comes to mind.
Evan Lysacek skated to Rhapsody in Blue when he won Worlds in 2009. He skated to Firebird and Scheherazade in the 2010 Olympics.

Wow, Mark... you are an ugly crier!! There's something about his face, hair and build that is rather simian to me. I look at him and I think Magilla Gorilla. I can't help it!
Mark reminds me of Wreck-It Ralph, but I can see the Magilla, too.

I don't believe that is a tear in the carpet. Look closely, and you will see it is the intersection of the aisle Jill is walking down, and an aisle going perpendicular to it. I think that is some sort of "decorative" diamond-shape in the flooring, not a tripping hazard.

I never made the connection between Kim Richards and Kyle Richards (who played Edwards adopted daughter Alicia) until just now. It looks like both of them were in Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Little Olga is now my age, and I’m old, so it serves as a reminder to just how long ago this show was on the air. Also didn’t recognize her as the girl from Witch Mountain just from her little house appearance.
I could of swore that Olga also played a young Caroline in a flashback scene, but I only see one credit for her under little house?
In either event, I am digging these podcasts, and look forward to them every week.
Katy Kurtzman played Caroline in "I Remember, I Remember." Katy and Kim did resemble each other when they were younger.

Agreed. Now that I'm used to watching a dumb but fun action-packed mess, I'll really feel the void. And I know it's on another network (so no promo to remind us), but I'm hoping the Prison Break revival airs in the meantime (they've said "early 2017", so I have hope). If I can't get my dose of batshit action and nonsensical twists from Designated Survivor, I'm guessing Prison Break will have me covered.
I agree. What I don't know is, what happens if he's killed? They appoint a new one (who'll have to go through the same vetting process)? And what if he's injured and incapable of serving, but only temporarily? Will there be an interim Veep? Wait, quick googling tells me that the line of succession falls to the Speaker of the House. So Hookstraten? Count me in!
The Speaker of the House does not become Vice President if something happens to the Vice President. That's not how the line of succession works; that is in place to ensure there is always a president. If BOTH the president and VP die or are not able to continue to serve, then the Speaker of the House is next in line to be president. Consider that the most recent VP to vacate the office before the end of his term was Spiro Agnew, Nixon's first VP, who resigned in 1973. The Speaker at that time, Carl Albert, did not become VP. Nixon then nominated Gerald Ford, who was confirmed by the Senate, became VP, and less than a year later, became president when Nixon resigned.
Section 2 of the 25th Amendment explains it: "Section 2. Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress."

Yes, I'm pretty sure that was Elizabeth.

One of my favorite moments is in "Divorce, Walnut Grove Style," the one where Laura is convinced Almanzo is in love with Brenda Sue. Laura starts a fight with Brenda Sue outside the schoolhouse and restaurant, and Ma has to come out to break up the fight and send the schoolchildren home. Laura is still yapping about Brenda Sue ("I should have scratched her eyes out!") when Ma yanks her arm and sternly snaps, "You will be SILENT!" I rewind and watch that part a couple times every time that episode is on, because I just enjoy stern Ma putting Laura in her place. I'm evil like that.

Exactly. I do wonder how they were able to attend the taping. I thought these live shows had strict rules. Ryan looked pretty shocked to me and he doesn't strike me as someone who would be a good actor. I wonder if Phelps will be at a taping since they are good friends. I remember Shawn Johnson had the Fierce Five (minus I think McKayla) in one of her performances.
All of the Fierce Five, including McKayla, appeared with Shawn.

Aly has already done DWTS, so they will likely go with another Olympian.

Could someone please fill me in on why Meredith's patient was bleeding? I saw the part where she was given the cancer-free diagnosis, then was interrupted by a phone call. When I got back to the show, that patient was bleeding all over. What happened?

If I never hear "booty bumping" again, it will be too soon. Really didn't care for those two last night and their complaints about space in the kitchens.

Al Michaels is Lead Commentator on NBC's Sunday Night Football telecasts, paired with former Cincinnati Bengals Quarterback Cris Collinsworth. He also does NBC's Olympic coverage.
He may be best known for calling the "Miracle on Ice" 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympics Hockey Game ("Do you believe in miracles? ... Comes true!") when the US unexpectedly defeated the then Soviet Union team & went on to win the Gold in the competition, when he worked for ABC Sports.
Not to nitpick, but the quote is, "Do you believe in miracles? YES!!!"
I've never been a huge fan of Tara Lipinski, and this episode did nothing to change my mind.

But how stupid is Ivy to fly to Australia with a concussion. That is at least what an 8 hour flight? Or more. Stupid girl.
A flight from Los Angeles to Sydney is over 14 hours long.
I haven't watched this show in weeks. It's far more entertaining reading here.

First Got Horny 2 U: This was kind of progressive in the weirdest of ways. Idk, I feel like you never see burgeoning sexuality in young girls shown/mentioned on television, it's like it's this and Sally Draper masturbating on Mad Men and that's it. And they let Kate be a lesbian. I'm strangely proud of the show for this. Huh.
Lesbian? That poster was of Taylor Hanson, of the group "Hanson." Very much a guy. Kate's holding their "Mmm Bop" cd at one point.

There are now, of course, several links on Facebook to various articles about little baby Seewald. One woman commented that we should all leave Ben and Jessa alone, because they are the parents and can do whatever they want, and in fact, she did the same herself when she named her baby girl Ocean. Is this the trend now, just to choose any noun and turn that into a name? If so, I'm partial to Skillet Seewald. Heck, you could open the dictionary and point randomly to any word and probably come up with a better name than Spurgeon. Not only will the kid never, ever be able to find anything with his name on it, he will likely be teased, too.

She's not 40 weeks yet is she? Maybe it just seems that long. I thought she was like 37 or 38 weeks now. I agree about Jill, she really looked about to burst near the end.
Two days ago, Jessa posted a "39 weeks 4 days" pic of herself on Instagram. So, yes, she is about to hit the 40 week mark.

Megyn is on vacation. Not sure when she's expected back, I think she was supposed to be gone 10 days.

When one of the Jkids picks Q, X, or Z as their theme letter, it will be a sign that they aren't going to overpopulate. Lets see who does it........
Don't be so sure; there may not be a lot of Z names, but that doesn't mean people won't make them up. I just saw today that a local family has 5 children, all with names starting with Z. I only know three of the names: Zaelin, Zoren and Zevon.

Has Kathie Lee spoken about Frank being ill? I used to be a regular viewer (well, a record-and-fast-forwarder) but gave up on the 4th hour earlier this year because KL's speech habits and increasingly frequent stammering and word-finding difficulties got to be too much for me. But I don't recall her ever speaking about any health problems Frank might have.
I'm also suspicious of "natural causes" of death. Come on.
I don't understand why anyone would be suspicious of this, given Frank's age. My 87-year-old father got up one morning, ate breakfast, washed his dishes and dropped dead in the kitchen. Fine one minute, dead the next. It happens.

I've listened closely to that video, and I only hear Michelle saying grandbaby, not grandbabies.
Figure Skating
in 2018 Winter Olympics [Read-Only]
My husband described as an "upside down octopus having a snack."
