Yes, yes, the pervy opening song, the age gap between Gaston & Gigi, not to mention between Honore and his various "heavenly creatures". But Hermione Gingold! Beautiful costumes! Paris in the spring when each solitary thing is more beautiful than ever before! Gaston dumping champagne down Lianne's dress! Aunt Alicia!

An apple, a few chunks of cheddar, some bread...that's a nice snack. Cheddar on cooked apples is...the horror.

With regard to poor kitchen design. As I've scanned the offerings on Realtor, I am amazed by how many times I see you've described @EtheltoTillie. I also don't understand the logic of putting the refrigerator right next to the stove.

For those who watch the show through alternative means, does anyone know why there are random close ups of a quarter of the screen on some feeds? Or why Final sounds different than the rest of the show on some feeds?

That's nice @stewedsquash, but where's the picture of the calves?

On good and evil characters - it's also not original anymore if they make most, if not all of the good characters unnecessarily dumb, especially if the put honor before reason. And make the evil characters the clever ones.
This is the one that really offends me. There's nothing wrong with being smart. There's nothing good about being stupid.

In the WWF (as was), Andre was the 8th Wonder of the World. I appreciated the continuity when years later HHH called Chyna the 9th Wonder of the World.

I think Gillian Flynn who wrote Gone Girl uses the hard G, so gil like a fish. As opposed to Gillian Anderson g like a j. Geoffrey is Jeffrey.

Totally whiffed Bond. In my defense, I've never considered him either sexy or mysterious, and I don't think of that tune as staccato.

No problem with Holbein but I remained convinced that Vonnegut wrote Catch-22.

Oh no! I loved Blazing Saddles (well, I say Blazing Saddles but it was Gene Wilder...) so much that I had the dialogue memorized. Just yesterday I was describing someone who was using some fancy language as using his mouth better than a $20 whore.

I recently decided to rewatch some classic Who and started with the post-Adric Peter Davison episodes and now I'm up to the C. Baker episodes. Ye gods. Teegan was obnoxious and Adric made me want to reach through the screen and bitch slap him, Peri is possibly the most grating companion until the Moffat years. Also, although the scripts were not the best (even Timelash which was by Holmes, I think), and the Doctor's wardrobe might induce seizures, it was the acting that really made some bits unwatchable.
I don't remember Sylvester McCoy's time well enough to comment. I do remember T. Baker, though, and those stories moved very slowly as stated by @Anduin. Avoid the one with Eldrad at all costs unless you want to hear how many ways Elizabeth Sladen can say "Eldrad must live."
The episodes set on Gallifrey and the ones with multiple doctors are fun so you might want to look for those. Episodes with the Master (and in one case, the Rani--that was the best of the C. Baker ones I've rewatched so far) were usually entertaining. My tolerance for Daleks, Cybermen, and Sontarans is low but some find them enjoyable.
Aren't you glad you asked?

Interesting, because I am also from New York and I pronounce all of the ma/erries identically.
Thanks for that, @30 Helens .
Western New York and just barely a boomer:
Pop is pop. Wegman's says so.
Don and Dawn (also on and gone) and pen and bin do not sound the same. Been and bin, though, do sound the same unless you're over the border and trying to sound like a local. There is no distinction between Barry and Berry. I can hear the hw when it's used but it's rarely used.

There are times when episode titles aren't enough. For example, I appreciate that someone took the time to make episodes of the Great Canadian Baking Show available. However, every series has a Cookie Week so labeling a video GCBS Cookie Week without indicating the season makes watching a single season of episodes in sequence impossible.

Greek gods, especially Zeus, changed appearance a lot so recasting could be explained. I mean, he could be bull one week and a swan the next and a different looming human another.
