So, is Danny gonna bitch that Steve better not have gotten shot in “his/their liver” again? I’m assuming it was Steve who was shot, as he offered to walk the lady & her son to their car. I’m also assuming the shooter ran after shooting Steve because we heard Danny say “Oh God!”, or “Oh my God!”, as if he found Steve, over the “fade to black” credits (before the credits that play with the end theme) & there was no other gunshot indicating Danny may have been/was shot as well.

Grumpy Cat (aka Tardar Sauce) also had feline dwarfism, which had something to do with her(?) facial expression, how she(?) got the perpetually grumpy expression on her face (if I remember right from what I read about the passing), & it also had something to do with the movement of her(?) back legs when she(?) walked.

TAKE NOTE: For the 10th season, H50 will lead off CBS’ Friday night lineup, airing at 8PM Eastern/7PM Central. MacGyver is being held until midseason; Magnum PI has been moved from Mondays at 9PM Eastern to H50’s previous Fridays at 9PM Eastern airtime. Blue Bloods remains in its original timeslot, 10PM Eastern.

I don’t know who wrote which plot(s), specifically, but the episode was written by Paul Grellong & Sean O’Reilly. Paul is a Co-Executive Producer & has written or co-written at least 4 eps this season; Sean has been a writer (& maybe a producer) since S7.

Here’s an obit for Tim Conway from People magazine. It says something interesting:

TV Guide says Andrew was in the Halloween episode this season.

No, that was 1 of the recently professionally reunited Jonas brothers. It was Nick Jonas (who has Broadway acting cred, by the way). He’s the brother who recently married Bollywood & Quantico actress Priyanka Chopra (now Priyanka Chopra Jonas)—I think she also had a role in a recent movie that was part of a big movie franchise, but I can’t remember which it is/was. Nick played a computer hacker called Ian Wright that the team ran up against in 2 eps of S4 (originally when McGarrett & Grover were partnered by Governor Denning to serve him with a notice about multiple unpaid parking tickets, among others with unpaid fines, tickets, etc., I think), including the finale (where he kidnapped Grover’s daughter Samantha).

26 seasons? Between the “Classic” & “Reboot” versions, the franchise has only been on 21 seasons, so far. The “Classic” version lasted 12 seasons (Fall 1968-Spring 1980); the “Reboot” version has been on 9 seasons, so far (Fall 2010-Present; potential 10th season yet to be announced).

Ryan doesn’t necessarily have to be gay to be blackmailed (though, yeah, I think he probably is gay too). He could be bisexual. Although being gay seems to be seen as being “worse” than being bisexual & more likely to make someone more of a target of something like blackmail; especially if they’re not open about their sexuality & others perhaps think they should be.

While Ryan was presiding over this week’s bogus (my opinion) non-save of Jeremiah, he was also winning a Daytime Emmy Award (of course shared with Kelly Ripa) for his co-hosting job on Live with Kelly and Ryan. The Daytime Emmys were livestreamed. I’m pretty sure this is Ryan’s first Emmy, for either Daytime or Primetime TV work.

That was SO BOGUS! NO WAY is Laci better than Jeremiah (at least she looked appropriately shocked she was saved)! And how are Wade & Alejandro still skating by?! Right now I think I’m hoping Laine wins. He’s the best of who’s left, in my opinion.

When the show started, I think it was implied—among other negative faults—Steve’s sister Mary probably had substance abuse issues, either ongoing (which we never actually saw) or in the past starting after their father sent them to the Mainland, supposedly for their safety, after the apparent death of their mother in a car bombing; her issues with her family were apparently brought on by abandonment issues after Papa McG sent them away from Hawaii then didn’t keep in touch.

By the way, Taryn’s no longer on The Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition. She left of her own accord (as opposed to being eliminated by the celebrity chef on whose team she was competing, for being the worst cook on last night’s episode). At the beginning of the show they had a head-to-head competition between members of each team where the celebs were asked various food-related questions. If a celeb got the answer wrong, & the other celeb got it right, the other team’s celeb got to pick a food item most people would think was pretty gross (like geoduck clam, 1,000 year-old egg [which is a Chinese/Asian delicacy], tongue [found in Jewish delis], etc.) from a selection on a platter between them & the losing celeb had to eat it. If neither celeb got the right answer to the question, the celeb chefs got to pick the food item & both celebs had to eat it. Anyway, when it was Taryn’s turn, she was up against comedienne Kym Whitley. They were asked “How many eyes does a coconut have?”. Taryn incorrectly answered 1; Kym correctly answered 3 (I usually remember this by thinking of a bowling ball, which has 3 holes that are in the same “2 over 1”, triangular pattern as a coconut’s eyes). Kym (knowing that Taryn had already said, upon seeing the gross food platter when the game was explained, that she wouldn’t be able to eat any of it) picked chicken feet for Taryn to eat. Taryn, even with encouragement from her team’s celebrity chef, Anne Burrell (Tyler Florence works with the other team), chose to leave the show rather than eat the chicken feet—thereby depriving whatever charity she was playing for of whatever money Taryn might’ve won by the final episode, or the last episode she competed in before that & after this episode.

I agree. That’s who I’d have sent home anyway. And I’m still not happy about last week’s results. OK... I could probably be good with Uché being gone—I think maybe he was more of a showman overall, which may not really be what the show’s looking for—but I’m pissed about Demetrius. I think America’s definitely getting it wrong this season. I think I understand why they originally voted Alejandro through to Hollywood (had I been a judge, I would’ve too—even if the others didn’t), but he’s totally losing whatever he had that was special now. And I don’t think it’s a good thing he keeps saying in his pre-performance packages that he still doesn’t know the lyrics of whatever he’s doing that week. If that remains consistent, I think that should be an issue with his staying on—if it’s an issue of he’s just not spending enough time rehearsing/learning & memorizing them, as opposed to some sort of learning difference, like dyslexia, that may be impeding him there. Except for Katy being too goofy, I don’t mind the judges that much (but Luke Bryan’s done 2 of his concerts he does in local farm fields in communities so close to my hometown they’re basically part of my hometown in recent years, & I’ve liked Lionel Richie’s music for a long time & we’re both native Alabamians), but of the most recent judging panels I really liked the Keith Urban, J Lo, & Harry Connick Jr. panel the best because of all the technical musical instruction that at least Harry & Keith tried to impart to the contestants in their critiques, instead of just saying something like “Great performance... you’re gonna be a star!” or, simply, “That was pitchy, dawg.”

He thought having an open chest valve replacement was like getting a tooth filled & daddy would be up & around, gun running by dinner time (although if they knew about, & showed, the new heart valve replacement procedure Mick Jagger recently underwent, while that procedure is no more invasive than most cardiac diagnostic procedures, pacemaker implantations, &/or angioplasties, daddy still wouldn’t have been up & gun running right after dinner—though he would’ve been up & around much sooner than he would be since he had traditional open chest valve replacement). I think the show (or at least the showrunners & CBS) would have the guts to make Steve & Noelani a couple before they would Steve & Danny. If you’re thinking the interracial aspect would scare them off, I don’t think it would. But maybe I just have a different perspective because I’m the product, with my younger brother, of a multicultural marriage. My late father was Filipino (which I think Kimee Balmilero, & therefore Noelani, is in part) & my mom is Caucasian-American, from Alabama.

I’m pretty sure it’s the former—accent on the YA. That’s how I’ve always pronounced it & heard it pronounced by most people who have cause to say it. It’s probably like nu-klee-ur vs. nu-Q-lure (& don’t get me started on that).

I didn’t read the linked article, so I don’t know the source claiming Idol’s been canceled, but it’s apparently wrong. I still watch the show (don’t judge), though I don’t agree—at all—with the contestants who’ve been booted via America’s Vote the last 2 episodes. Anyway, getting back to my point: Idol’s apparently NOT canceled because Ryan Seacrest plugged the search for next season’s contestants on tonight’s show.

William Conrad (who went on to successful, long running roles in Cannon & Jake and the Fat Man, possibly among others I’m forgetting) played Nero Wolfe in the TV iteration you’re thinking about; his sidekick, Archie, was played by Lee Horsley, of Matt Houston fame (Is he even acting anymore?).
