Oh, I wanted Bradley Cooper to win, because I love him.

Oprah had her most sonorous voice to reflect the gravitas of the evening. Plus, I imagine her bosom was hindering her ability to breathe.

I'm digging the music to the commercial for the Cosmopolitan Hotel (Cosmopolitan Vegas).

Yes, I think it was that small, and off to the right as you faced the refrigerator.

What's the percentage? That would be a more telling statistic.

Oh, that was just great, with Julie Andrews coming out to hug her.

Lady Gaga doesn't really know what to do with her dress, does she?

I like NPH. I think he is very talented, but he's misfiring here. Grest speech by the writers of "Glory." But, oops, politics again.

She's a mediocre sitcom actress at best; I don't understand the fascination with her. (Although I did like her in "We're the Millers.)""Glory" is a rap song?

But it looked like she got pissed off at him for not wanting to do the bit.

The Ropers, although I found Mrs Roper's constant hornines to be creepy and over the top. However, I never liked Don Knotts, no matter what the role. He always reminded me of a chihuahua.

I was able to watch the episode on YouTube -- I think it was from the Graham Norton show itself. It was about 40 minutes long. There was a very annoying banner across the top, so it was tough to watch, but it was pretty funny.

I'm not sure why Charlie Sheen was owed anything to do with the finale. He burned his bridges after being one of the highest-paid sitcom actors ever. Is Chuck Lorre an asshole? Sure he is, but so is Charlie Sheen.

I agree. In the original TV version, Oscar was quite happy to be divorced from Blanche, except for the alimony. Still, there were a few episodes with her that were among my favorites because Jack Klugman and Brett Somers were so good together.

No comments on the latest "Cristela"? Roseanne was once again strident and unpleasant and awful. They wasted too much time on her and Mr. Culpepper. The actors have zero chemistry -- who would believe they were ever in love or wanted to be married? And I still maintain that if anything, Roseanne would have been his first "starter" wife, not his third. At least we got to see a B story with Daniella and Felix, and a few scenes with Amma. I have to say, though, that Cristela had no concept of boundaries with her sister and brother-in-law. When she saw them getting close, she should have left, not stayed to watch and interject herself.

I think plenty of actors have done that. Maybe it's just that they're better at their craft than he is.

I'm not necessarily ODing on these shows as much as I'm aggravated because it just seems like it's rich white folks who have discovered that "tiny living" is trendy, so they "need" to do it, while still wanting everything in their tiny homes that they had in their big homes. To me, if you have a budget of $300,000 for your "tiny" home, you're not really living "tiny." I like that most of the houses in "Tiny House Hunting" seem permanent because I'm tired of the gimmicky trailer houses on "Tiny House Nation." ("Oh, we want a tiny home on a trailer because we're going to tour the country." No, no you're not.) I'd have to say that out of the house hunters on "Tiny House Hunting," I liked the barber, the houseboat guy, and the lesbians.

For starters, one always needs Walter Skinner on hand. I always thought an X-Files continuation could be after the alien invasion (by whichever alien Carter & Co. had decided was the one invading Earth), and mankind is fighting for survival. (Or is that already that Noah Wylie show on TNT?) X-Files did try the new leads -- Doggett and Reyes -- which limped along for a few more seasons. (Although, when I finally re-watched those seasons, they weren't bad at all.)

I'm evil too then. I got that the actors were toasting their friend -- that was very touching -- but as characters toasting Mrs. Wolowitz? If there was a sweet side to Mrs. Wolowitz, we saw it infrequently -- the way she took in Stuart; the way she, apparently, befriended Bernadette; plus the one time Raj was over the house for dinner in Howard's absence (but that was played for laughs about how she was going to "trap" Raj). What we heard primarily was Howard and Mrs. Wolowitz shouting at each other and Howard's ongoing hatred of his mother and the way she smothered him. I'm not sure how much the others would have interacted with her, because whenever they went to her house, Howard ushered them out of there as quickly as possible. I also disliked Howard's antagonism toward Stuart.

Normally, I would agree, but not when there's been a Broadway show, a movie, a previously successful TV show, and a not-successful TV remake to have set up the concept and the characters. Except for the sisters and the assistant (but, really, sassy black assistant? That's original), I thought the other actors were uniformly horrible. Matthew Perry should have played Felix, because he basically was Felix in "Friends." Heck, if they'd brought in Matt LeBlanc as Oscar, it would have been a lot funnier. Oh, the one thing I did find funny? Chandler, sorry...Felix, sorry...Oscar setting the coffee cup on fake-Felix's crotch during the latter's yoga pose. My impression was that the sisters were supposed to be the Pigeon sisters -- Cecily and Gwendolyn -- whom Oscar and Felix date in the first season of the show. Myrna was Oscar's assistant (here, the sassy black chick), and Miriam was Felix's steady girlfriend in later seasons of the show.

Non-watcher also. I liked the animated sequence, even when they when they cut back to the present before the flashback resumed. It seemed very meta to me too; mildly amusing.

That was a bunch of suck. Is this like three strikes for Matthew Perry for terrible shows? Why'd they change the wives' names? Were "Gloria" and "Blanche" too old-fashioned? Because "Oscar" and "Felix" shriek modernity. The ersatz Pigeon sisters were the best part of the show.

Man, this episode was even worse than the last. "Limping along" to the end is right: five and counting down. Laurie's hair was just awful. Was that even a style in the 1980s/1990s? I agree. When critics blasted "Cougar Town" and audiences didn't watch it, those of us who gave it a shot realized it was more about a group of friends and not a 40-something "cougar" jumping all the young men she could. I don't even feel like Jules and Grayson are married anymore -- they're almost never in an intimate setting, and they definitely give off a platonic vibe now. The pregnancy idea was the dumbest thing they could have done, whether or not it was a series finale, because it condemned Travis to the same life his mother had -- a parent far too young, which in 20 years will manifest itself with a major midlife crisis. The show should have ended up Travis and Laurie realizing they wanted different things, and Travis boarding a plane to fly to New York to give it a go at being a professional photographer. It's no secret I hate Laurie, but if Travis hadn't been her baby daddy, she totally would have been doing all the same things her mother did with her as a baby. If anything, JD from "Scrubs" grew even more infantile as the series progressed. In the beginning, he was shown to be a competent intern and doctor (Elliot was the worse doctor), but by the end, I wouldn't have even let him near me with a tongue depressor. And there was another case of a pregnancy (or two) ruining the show -- the one where he knocked up the Elizabeth Banks character, and then in "Scrubs: Interns," that JD and Elliot had gotten married and were having a baby. I also hated seeing one of those interstitials with Tom, talking about how special the show was and how it was great to be in the cast, like he was an integral part of the show from the very beginning. Travis and Grayson never seemed to be antagonistic before. I wonder if it's because they both slept with Laurie (although that should really have manifested itself long before). Is Travis wondering if Grayson is "bigger" than he is and a better lover? (Although, didn't Grayson and Laurie only have sex a couple of times?) When you think about it, it's pretty incestuous/white trash: Grayson slept with Laurie and later married Jules, who is Travis's mother, then Travis slept with Laurie and had a baby with her. Only Bobby didn't get a little Laurie action.

I'm pretty sure John said at the beginning that Nashville didn't allow mobile tiny homes as permanent residences, so that's why they were building it in their backyard.

I actually liked that they didn't choose an unsuitable house and had one built (like the barber a few episodes ago), but I rolled my eyes at the trailer crap again (like they're really going to travel with that thing), as well as another couple just paying lip service to "living tiny." He was a chef who needed a full-service kitchen. Basically, by the end all they had done was add a guest house/bed and breakfast. I doubt they ever live in that house. The lofts look so uncomfortable, plus how do you change the sheets when the bed's recessed in the floor?
