    Is it Memoriam time?  Are they going to ruin it again?

    It wouldn't be the Oscars if they didn't fuck that up

    have to say, not as badly as in years past. not sure about the alternating in focus/out of focus. but at least you could read the damn names. 

    but plunking angela lansbury in the middle. and waiting until 11pm… but still, all in all, not awful.

    What? What’s the grammar problem here?

    The phrase "...gave my brother and I detention" is incorrect.  Take out "my brother": you wouldn't say, "...gave I detention"; therefore, it should be "...gave my brother and me detention."  My job partly involves teaching grammar; this happens all the time.

    show of hands: how many own that “i’m silently correcting your grammar” t-shirt? 

    raises hand.

    really enjoyed the old home movies, but you'd think they'd have already shown them to him about three years ago, when they first found each other. 

    one would think…

    don't know why you want that job!"   Then why the hell were you running around with a bumper sticker trying to get every Regan to tell her to run?  Did the writers seriously forget this whole DA plot started with Anthony prodding her into it?  

    there you go — confusing the issue with facts…

    I really like the extended multi-segment interviews he's been doing. It's veering into Dick Cavett territory, not a bad thing.

    i, too, like the longer interviews. re dick cavett, various iterations of his shows are running @ 9pm (eastern) on the decades ota channel.

    the version closest to colbert is the 30 minutes episoe with a single guest. 

    but, what i like most are the 60 minute shows with several guests. this was the model for the early late night shows, and led to some fascinating interactions and conversations, which just don’t happen with the current model, which i really miss.

    earlier this week, there was an episode from late 1971, with eg marshall, maureen stapleton, and howard k smith, who speculated about what he thought was going to happen in the 1972 presidential election. surreal experience listening to his predictions while knowing how things actually turned out.

    Which color? Also how many different colors were there? What I saw in her office looked pink; it made me scream "Capitol Hill Barbie," but the one she was wearing on the street when she was filming her first commercial looked red. At first I thought it was the same pantsuit and it looked like different colors in different lighting, but then we saw the yellow one at the end.

    the only one that hurt my eyes was that yellow one she wore in the actual commercial.

    Were Erin's pantsuits supposed to mimic Hillary?  I don't think that's a winning strategy, but it is Manhattan.  😜

    No real person in Manhattan would wear those pantsuits. I still can’t figure out why Hillary used to wear them. But yes I think that’s what they were going for n

    it wasn’t the pantsuit so much as that color!

    yeah — first time was amusing, to pull this same shit a second time is just plain selfish and disrespectful! 

    I actually found her second speech more amusing. But I also find her humour very hit or miss. And I felt the second one had more hits in it than the first ramble

    you may be right. but i was so annoyed by her self-indulgent time suck that i tuned out what she was saying.

    It wasn't a bad episode, though for once I didn't cry.

    i did — started with  matthew dropped off the dollhouse. for me earned tears because it just snuck up in me

    and i loved the rest of it! certainly one of my favorite christmas specials. there was a lot going on, but i thought the episode was balanced. and yes, minimal monica jean — agreed that her expression during the recorder performance was priceless. and i loved seeing tim, and how they’ve brought reggie along.
