Welcome to the Dawg Pound.

Oh good, another Very Special Lesson episode. I don't think so.

Can Erin ever let Ben finish a sentence? He starts to talk and she jumps in to talk over him. All. The. Time. He's got a lot more patience with that crap than I'd have.

Well, an opening spit-take and laugh track. I'm out.

They did the same thing with Luke McFarlane. I kept watching to see if he was actually skating, but all they showed were closeups or distant shots that obviously were not him. Oh, he stood on the ice all right, but that was it.

Especially since Ted Danson is 73 years old. A teenage child is kind of ridiculous.

It doesn't have to be 1950 to prefer that the person you might marry not jump in the sack with multiple people right before you get engaged.

Just a little nitpick, he didn't have Alzheimer's. He had Lewy body dementia.

I've been on Rosuvastatin for a year and a half and have been taking 5000 iu daily of vitamin D all along. I have never heard of it being an issue and my healthcare providers are aware that I take both. But given your info I think I'll request a vitamin D check the next time they do lab work. I do know toxicity levels are very rare and the D does seem to help prevent colds and such.

Antonia Lofaso is on all the cooking shows. I recognized her right away

I'm sorry to say that for the first time ever I won't be watching the finale. If by some chance Will and James win I would be forced to put my foot through the screen and I have already spent a bundle on Christmas, so a new TV isn't in the budget.

Welp, I'd say getting shot in the head at close range where his head basically splattered on the truck window, and then being buried in a pit, truck and all, is a good indication that he's really most sincerely dead.

Even the word "mental" is slang and not a diagnosis in the DSM.

It will depend a lot on ratings received and the resulting advertising dollars. And to be fair, there have been pearl-clutchers on both sides of that issue.

I think Eazy has his own issues that are coming to light.

I caught the last names of the 3 Emerald coworkers and they were Crow(e), Lyon(s), and Tinley. The Crow woman was chatty and a bit scatterbrained, the Lyon guy was afraid to put himself out there, and the Tinley woman was pretty rigid. That's all I've got. I was so bored by this one and I had fairly high hopes.

I'm a little confused by older Ethelrida and the suitcases under that big painting. Symbolism I'm missing?

I have heard that they don't always use the final music while filming because they need to obtain the rights, so what they are dancing to and what we hear might be two different things. I've noticed this with other movies where there is dancing. Watch the dancing scene in The Christmas Card. It's blatant.

Disliking a team that is gleefully nasty is not being hate-filled. Nobody is commenting on anything about them other than their own wretched behavior.

Why every team in the ridiculous alliance keeps helping Will and James is beyond me. They are consistently in first or second place, thanks to all the help they get (cheating). Do the other teams actually want to help them win?

I was so hoping the beards would yield stupid Will and James, but no. The blondes again. So idiotic.

I can't really fault his acting. The character was just so broadly-drawn and cartoonish, and he was having fun with it. I did do a half-gag half-laugh when the top of his head fell off in a neat little circle.

You and me both. I've gotten to the point of muting my TV when they're on.

I also went back and watched episode 1 to see if Rabbi actually killed his father in light of the reveal that the bandaged man was Owney Milligan. It showed young Rabbi aiming the gun and firing but then it cut away before we saw the damage. Owney was already pretty shot up, but he was still talking, so who knows. I guess he was just Mostly Dead.

In Journey Back to Christmas Candace's character went back to the 1940's via the magic Christmas comet.
