Miss Chevious

I had never heard of two of the celebrity contestants that were on tonight and barely recognized Ray Romano. Mayim is way too giddy, she giggled her way through most of the show. Loved Johnny Gilbert’s reading of the song lyrics category. That voice!

For the 40th Season, some things have been brought back. The white plastic spinner holders are gone now, Pat comes over to the contestants at the end, steps up on the dais behind them and shakes hands again. At the end, bonus round winners can have a friend/family member come up on stage to celebrate with them again. You don't notice some of these things until they're gone or they come back. I wish they'd bring back those action screen backdrops they used to have. The current ones are styled nicely but the other ones are more fun.

She’s always been a shrew but now she’s a confused and subdued shrew. Ugh. Muriel & Doc would be a better couple.

Like someone up thread said, she probably buys them in bulk, lol.

You know what sticks with me after watching this? Chicken casserole. Haven’t made it in a long time. Now I can’t wait to make some. In my vintage Corning Ware baking dish.

I just watched the episode where the Harpers babysit Reverend Meecham’s grandson, Eugene. Little Eugene turns out to be hell on wheels, terrorizing Iola, Vint and especially Mama. A rotten-to-the-core nasty little brat like no other on this show. Fortunately at the end, the Reverend comes back and gives him the spanking he so justly deserves. (Off camera, we only hear audio.) That got me to wondering if that episode would be filmed nowadays. I’m thinking somebody would be screaming “child abuse!” Was his punishment justified?

I’m just up to episode 4 but not sure if I can keep going. It’s just too idiotic. Some examples/observations: 1) Who in the hell lets their little daughter go to a maximum security prison full of killers/child molesters in the first place? I don’t care if it’s Take Your Kid To Work Day, that kind of place is not for kids. 2) How long does it take to install/repair a mailbox? Days, apparently. 3) How many identical Blue Flower Corningware baking dishes does this chick have? 4) Why didn’t the cops check if the girlfriend Lisa actually showed up at her scheduled flight’s destination the next day? That would’ve been easy to check and would’ve at least alerted them to the possibility of foul play if she hadn’t. 5) That gigantic bowl of corks cracked me up. Real closet drinkers don’t want to keep souvenirs of how much they’re actually consuming. A real lush would throw each cork in the trash ASAP as each bottle is consumed. 6) If I hear “Bingo!” One more time, I’m gonna throw up. Do I continue with this foolishness or do I quit while I’m ahead? I haven’t read any spoilers but right now I’m thinking the kid did it.

Xander made a million dollar mistake when he picked Erica to sit out the fire challenge. He underestimated her and should have realized that out of the final four, she was the biggest threat. Erica wasn’t the greatest fire-maker and he discovered that beforehand so he had an opportunity to get her out. That would’ve changed the game completely. But he didn’t play his cards right.

I’m going to miss it.

Woo-hoo! Got 22/22! I knew there were 19 books because I have them all. They are very good. It’s like having extra episodes.

Tonight’s contestant was on the ‘express’ method of solving the puzzle which was Colorful Architecture. She bought all the vowels, called a couple of consonants (at $1000 each) then just abruptly solved the puzzle! She could’ve gotten so much more money by just calling out the letters that she obviously knew! I was aghast that she passed up on getting more money! Do they not check out these people before they become contestants? SMH.

This woman is totally delusional!

She lost me at the molten lava cake.

It’s really a scary thing when you stop to think this chick makes James K. Look positively svelte.

Looking for the candy bars she keeps stashed among the folds.

Angela has all her remaining teeth pulled and her new dentures aren’t ready yet.

Ken Osmond (Eddie Haskell) passed away today. He was 76. RIP, Ken.

Fred Willard passed away at the age of 86. We remember him as Blanche’s New Year’s Eve priest date. He was going to bring out the artist in her, but alas the date was cut short before she could use all the goodies in her toy box. RIP.

Apparently the jewel smugglers were noodleheads too. But who cares, I got to see George Clooney! <swoon>

After seeing Ashley in action on Catfish (didn’t know she was on there till I saw the video clips) and in front of Dr. Now it’s very clear she has deep rooted psychological problems. One word to describe her immediately comes to mind - Diabolical with a capital D. She had no intention of losing weight, all she wanted was TV time. The production crew really should screen these limelight chasers a lot better. I

I’m surprised he lasted as long as he did. May he (and his leg) RIP.

With the new normal of social distancing, courtesy of the Coronavirus, they’re not going to be able to have the studio audience anymore. Shows like TPIR and Let’s Make a Deal that rely on getting their contestants from a large group of people are probably going on hiatus and we’ll be seeing reruns soon. Sad.

Does anyone out there have a screenshot or picture of the painting hanging outside Frasier’s apartment across from the elevator? I’ve been trying to locate the image for a research project but no luck. TIA.

Yes, he did originally agree to sponsor Azan but he insisted they live apart once he got to the States. Thank goodness that never happened. Just the fact he agreed to go along with the sponsoring process for two such ill-suited people makes him questionable in my eyes. Stepdad Joe and brother Thomas were the only stable ones in that family, IMHO. They saw through all the crap.

Nicole’s dad, Tyler Nafziger, recently got arrested again for drug & paraphernalia possession. During a traffic stop, police found Fentanyl and glass pipes in his car. Busted!! Nicole’s probably calling Azan to wire bail money. The Brain Fairy completely skipped over that family!
