    The need for a dramedy category goes back to the 80s. Moonlighting was considered a drama because it was an hour show.  The Wonder Years was a comedy only because it was 30 minutes.  This is so stupid and short-sighted.  

    Emmy questions that I have:

     - Where the heck was Christopher Storer on his show's big night?
     - Why were Rob Reiner and Sally Struthers standing so far apart from each other, quite awkwardly?

    I wondered the same bout Rob and Sally.  It looks so strange.

  2. I’m not sure I have her name right, but how/why does Michelle Yeoh (?)  get away with threatening to hit people (the musician) at this show?  She did it again this year.  I don’t think it’s funny.  She is beautiful and a good actress, but I think this “bit” is wrong.

    Interesting article on the campaign - and financial incentives- that brought the show to Wisconsin:

    Thanks for this article.  I’m a Wisconsin native, currently living in Minnesota.  Top Chef is my favorite cooking/competition show.  Interesting to read how much effort goes into securing a deal!

  4. Sorry if this is a repeat, but I think my original post got eliminated when the forums went down a few days ago.

    I did not watch the season, but read the forums here a little, and being from MN, heard the Leslie publicity.  I wanted to watch the wedding.  I checked in late, and Kathy(?) was interviewing people, so I clicked away.  Checked back and the family was being all syrupy about the couple.  Click!  Checked again — yay, the wedding!  But the officiant was going on and on about the show and their love story and then the daughters (again???!) were being syrupy.  Click!  So I missed the actual vows and wedding.  As someone else said, it was too “cringe” for me.  But I can see that devoted followers might have loved it.

    I wish the couple a lovely and fun life together!

  5. I live in MN and I’m not mad at Gerry.  I only read here and watched the finale, though.

    There has been a fair amount of publicity about Leslie here.  She was married to a well-known restaurateur ( Fhima’s) at one time and was featured on the cover of Minneapolis- St. Paul magazine in her fitness apparel during that stage of her life.  So perhaps she’s used to publicity.  I do an 🙄 on the Prince stuff.  

    The season seemed to follow a familiar route of “ who would get picked” along with the usual “he/she was wronged” bit at the end.

    It sounds like Leslie is making lemonade out of lemons!  More power to her.

    Washington state buyers purchased home was certainly not what I call river front.  Looked more like a stream down the hill from the house. Couldn't kayak or boat on it because of size.

    It also looked dark inside to me.  But the back yard and view were nice!  Yes, more like a stream.

    The Boston couple walked into one place that was nothing but white everywhere. They both said: "I love the color!" 

    Me at home: "WHAT color?"

    I thought the gold hardware on the cabinets was hideous. 

    I’m not a fan of gold hardware either.  We only recently finally got rid of all the brass fixtures in our 1980’s-built house! 😂

    So now is the episode where Phoebe found out about Monica/Chandler.

    "MY EYES!"

    And Rachel/Phoebe screaming about Ross' apartment to cover.

    One of the best, "The One Where Everybody Finds Out". Can't wait to get to the part where Phoebe tries to seduce Chandler...

    That’s a favorite episode!  The scene with Phoebe and Chandler is SO funny.  Phoebe: “I’m very bendy!” 😂😂
