FYI, I had some trouble with the links to the visual aids. Both from the episode page on Acast, and the Againwiththis90210 page, I got an imgur error message. Could see them on the previously.tv page though.

Granted, Tamal's cake was pretty crazy, but if you've never had sticky date pudding, you are missing out. This recipe is the standard in Australia: https://www.stephaniealexander.com.au/what-to-cook/recipes/sticky-toffee-pudding/ Warm, sweet cakey-pudding, toffee sauce, vanilla ice-cream melting into it... so god-damn good. My favourite reality tv final moment - the first season of Australian Masterchef, when adorable little pepperpot Julie sees her bean-pole husband and sons after winning.

Pretty sure that 'REWARD FOR RAPIST'is not really what you want that sign to say, Dylan.

Someone mentioned the Hawaii 5-0 theme, and my Pavlovian response kicked in, requiring I post this.

Tara didn't mention that Julia Davis wrote the original UK version of Camping. Former housemates were obsessed with her work, so I've seen more of it than I'd like - I find her far too misanthropic and cringe-inducing. Not my thing.

I work for the public service in Australia (state level) and Utopia is equally loved and hated around the office for its accuracy. Second the recommendation of The Games too. John Clarke and Gina Riley are so wonderful. My favourite is when they realise the running track is a hair too short, which people will notice due to all the records getting broken. I believe you meant to say it was https://giphy.com/gifs/623IwdEdIQnGduK8RN

All the River's Run! It is an Australian mini-series, historical drama stuff involving shipwrecks and riverboats, and was a huge sensation at the time, but I was not allowed to watch it.

Remember when 21 Jump Street did a gang episode, but couldn't directly refer to the Crips and the Bloods?

I searched quickly and trusted google. Should have learned by now...

Isn't ice-skating a rich person's sport? Maybe Gina's family is only "poor" in the same way as the Walshes in S1.

I was actually thinking S1 Kelly:

Thank you. Will now be calling fireplaces flame houses.

In a rather neat coincidence, today is Jason Priestley's birthday.

There was a real estate sandwich board sign inside the front gate - like it have just been taken off the market.

It's horrifying! Her eyebrows and lips are the same colour as her fake tan. Perfect! Should have gone with that...

I was bored at work so I made some gifs.

Sadly, one key Deadwood cast member has passed away - Powers Boothe.

Nitpicking the D-plot is probably the definition of useless, but did they not check resumes before doing interviews?

High school physics was a while back, but it looked like that bullet ricocheted virtually straight back... And Val is not responsible for anyone's death, that would be cancer! Jeebus.

Abba were absolutely huge in Australia. They had number one singles for something like 40 weeks, with Fernando number one for 14 weeks; and number one albums for about as many weeks. The pop charts from that era are strange... A Boz Scaggs album was number one for 18 weeks! It reads like we were nation of daggy and sincere easy listening fans, and yet there is a huge number of rock bands from that era who are the ones that are actually remembered now, but apparently never quite topped the charts.

Great Canon submission. I needed something relaxing after tonight's The Americans, so just watched Kimmy Does A Puzzle. When Dionne Warwick is stuck in her dress, she says she was trying to do a quick change 'like at a Katheryn Perry concert' - I can't explain why but that is so good.

That's a very wise decision!

Yay for Patriot! So glad to hear this great show being talked about. I've watched it twice and it definitely rewards re-watches. There are so many beautiful and weird details. I've been trying to find information about when the second season comes out but can't find anything.

So Donna solution to the bratty child actor being given everything she wants is... to give her what she wants?

Wasn't Johnny Lewis also a scientologist, and therefore not able to get any help for his many problems (thanks to the whole 'psychiatry is evil' crap they have)? Seems like this was a far too complicated story to fit into a small section of a show. Also I remember when it happened reading a lot about his landlady - she was almost a local landmark, she rented her place to lots of struggling actors and helped them get their start. So more interesting details missing.
