  1. Weren't the Wheelers the only ones from America, not counting Tunde and Olu, who had flown previously with Bob and Abishola? Oh wait, there was also Kemi, but she came independently. Watching the Nigerian wedding from when Abishola and her bridesmaids come dancing in makes me really want to witness a Nigerian wedding. It just looked so joyous, compared to many American weddings which seem so serious.
  2. That's not really a surprise is it? I thought she had been revealed as "not very nice person" years ago -- someone who puts on a good face for the cameras but is nasty in real life.
  3. Really interesting article in Brides magazine (don't judge me!) about Nigerian weddings. Abishola's tribe's traditions are number 3. What to Expect at a Nigerian Wedding I loved all the wedding outfits and the music. And the look Bob gives Abishola when she enters with her bridesmaids was beautiful.
  4. Because of course they did, and now she can continue to make Black Widow movies for them. Nothing like posting nude photos to celebrate the end of someone looking after your interests. Britney Spears bares all as she poses for photos during getaway: 'Playing in the Pacific never hurt anybody'
  5. I assumed the high school musical was parodying "Rent," especially the opening song: pretentious all-cast numbers, self-absorbed cast.
  6. What shocked me was her comment about Olu's womb being a desert. That was -- excuse the pun -- really hitting below the belt.
  7. Yes, they have to keep upping the timeline or Marge and Homer should be in their late 60s and Bart and Lisa in their 40s by now. Homer was a singing star with the B-Sharps in the 1980s as a young father. Futurama may have progressed in calendar years, but the characters didn't age. Cuebert and Hermes's son remained the same ages throughout. I really liked this episode. I felt for Marge. She was on the outside and didn't know it. I guess I know what it's like to be on the outside, and then, years later, feeling that you missed the best years of your life. She might have exposed Sasha out of meanness, but Sasha was a liar and a probably a mean girl in high school.
  8. I haven't even been able to watch the season finale yet. The premiere is going to kill me, but I'll be there.
  9. When Bonnie had Christie to puncture her ego, they worked (such as it is). Once Christie was gone, Bonnie was an absolutely horrible person.
  10. ‘Night Court’ Sequel Starring Melissa Rauch & John Larroquette Lands Series Order At NBC No. Melissa Rauch plays Harry Stone's daughter? Did he and Christine get married and have a kid once the show ended? Will Melissa Rauch at least speak like a normal person and not Minnie Mouse? The voice she used as Bernadette was like nails on a chalkboard. There were times only dogs could hear her dialogue.
  11. I wonder if it has to do with a potential custody battle. If Abishola is married and has a wealthy husband, it will be less struggling single mother vs. well-to-do married father, where courts could potentially side with the father (although I wonder if Nigerian courts would be inclined to side with the father regardless; what's the general status of women in Nigeria?) Ulu and Tunde being well-off was a retcon, I believe, because I don't think that's what we were supposed to believe at the beginning. Or it could also be a case of living well under their means to build their fortune (although, they don't have any children so maybe they're saving for Dele and Abishola?). I'm not sure we could classify their Detroit apartment as small -- there have to be at least three bedrooms (Abishola's, Dele's, and Ulu and Tunde's) since they've never given any indication that anyone sleeps on the couch. Aren't Tayo's and Abishola's mother's houses in gated communities? At the very least, they're have their own security systems. MaxDot might have very lucrative contracts with large institutions. I got the sense that they're not just business-to-consumer. Someone mentioned above about this being a downer of an episode. I think most modern sitcoms today mix drama in with the comedy. I mean, look at "Mom," Chuck Lorre's most recent CBS sitcom. How on earth could a sitcom about alcoholics and drug addicts be funny? (That was the reason I didn't watch it for the first few seasons.) I loved the tourist footage of Lagos. When I used to watch "House Hunters International," it was primarily for the tourist and house footage. I really didn't care at all about the participants.
  12. In the beginning, we were given the impression that Tunde and Olu were retired and relied on Abishola to help support the family. Later, that was retconned that Tunde actually owned several real estate properties and was, if not wealthy, at least well off.
  13. To be fair, she was entirely too old to be Mame, and she couldn't sing, at least not by that stage in her life.
  14. Ooops. Looks like Kaley Cuoco is 0 for 2 in the marriage game. Kaley Cuoco's ex Karl Cook asks for jewelry back but no spousal support They're separating after three years of marriage. Kaley was married to her first husband, former pro tennis player Ryan Sweeting, for less than two years. They divorced in 2015.
  15. I agree, too much Bitch Pudding. She's like a fish or a houseguest: both start to stink after three days. I never saw the Cats movie either (although I watched either CinemaSins's takedown of it or Screen Rants's), but Garfield's presence certainly wouldn't have hurt.
  16. Yes, what the hell is with that tremor she puts in her voice? (Although I do like Poppables.) This is related to the Subaru dogs. I did not know the family had a name: The Barkleys. https://www.trucks.com/2019/08/19/subaru-dogs-drive-marketing-campaign/#:~:text=The Barkleys are the retriever,who's very good at steering.
  17. I always wear a bib when I eat spaghetti, and I never order it in a restaurant.
  18. For a year, I've been dreading the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Not so much for the emotional pain (which there is), but for the orgy of 20th-anniversary 9/11 grief porn we're being subjected to this week. Replay after replay of the planes hitting the Twin Towers; of people panicking; of the Towers' collapse; the "where are they now" interviews, all trying to find new ways to rip open the scab of healing. It's not so much that we shouldn't "never forget," but TV seems to want to ensure that we never heal.
  19. That was a funny clip. Thanks for posting it. I wonder when it was filmed because the cashier's comment "Is there an epidemic" seems prophetic. I hope Jeanne had baked enough 7-Up cakes.
  20. OMG, yes! I kept hoping and hoping that when we finally saw Maris, that's who it would be. (Of course, the joke eventually became that we never see Maris as descriptions of her just keep getting more and more outlandish.) Star Trek: TOS had some great one- or two-off characters that I wish could have become regulars or semi-regulars: Lt. Kevin Riley, who appears in two episodes; and Lt. DeSalle, in three episodes. I liked what they brought to the episodes they were in. But eventually, they just disappear into the bowels of the ship, never to be seen again. I also liked Lt. Dave Bailey, in "The Corbomite Maneuver" who goes off on the Fesarius and Lt. Stiles, who dies in "Balance of Terror."
  21. I watched "Yours, Mine, and Ours" not too long ago, with Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda. I know Lucy got her start in movies before making it big on ILL, but watching her in this movie (which is amusing) makes me wonder why she didn't go back to movies after ILL was over or make a different type of sitcom. I know she made a few movies, but "Mame" was a bomb (but the TV movie she did, "Stone Pillow" made me cry). Instead, she stuck (was stuck?) with the same tired schtick over and over. I watched a few episodes of "Here's Lucy" on Hulu, and it's just not funny. I won't even give the one with her kids a try (although I think I must have watched it back in the day). It was kind of sad that she was trapped as "Lucy" for the rest of her career.
  22. "Motorcycle Mike, your personal injury lawyer." Mike's claim to fame is that he is a motorcycle rider and he survived a horrific car crash, except he wasn't on his motorcycle, he was in a car. I don't quite understand what being a motorcycle rider has to do with his car accident. He has a whole YouTube channel.
  23. As a rule, I hate most cell phone commercials. However, I like the most recent one for T-Mobile: a woman is asking a friend how to dress for a dinner she's going to. She misunderstands, because she has a spotty connection. Instead of showing up in business attire, she shows up in Ren Faire garb (complete with horned headdress). It's her line at the end that makes me laugh: "Anybody want to split a turkey leg?"
