The Creative Emmys are this weekend and I'm trying to figure out if they're going to be live streamed, shown somewhere on basic cable, or what. The Emmy website is not helpful.

I posted that one in the Favorite Commercials topic! It's as wonderful now as it was then.

"Your logic is not like our Earth logic" and variations on it, from Buffy. And lots of variations on "lying liar who lies", although the first time I heard anything like it was "manly men doing manly things, manfully", so lying liars is a variation on that in my experience.

Can we just stop completely with the romance and psuedo-romantic storylines or do the IIC think that women won't watch unless there is some dude swooning over some chick? I mean damn!
I would sign this petition.

I didn't say "just an actor" @SilverStromm. I said "an actor." Which is what he was. I remember going into hysterics at a routine Williams did as a guest on a talk show and at times during Mork & Mindy, and he was a revelation in Good Morning, Vietnam. His death certainly merited a screen banner and perhaps a brief cutaway between shows. Breaking into programming should, imo, be saved for things like 9/11, Bin Laden's death, the Pope being shot, and so on.

ABC News just broke into Jeopardy to announce his death. I agree this is very sad, regardless of the cause of death, but interrupting programming because an actor has died? Come on.

i think Grimm is the only NBC show I watch now, so it's a measure of how much I'd love to see Borle that I'd promise to watch more. I mean, I'd even try to sit through L&O: SVU...well...for an episode. There's only so far I'd go; I'm only human.

Sometimes I lose track of the story while I consider how I would rank all of the male characters in terms of attractiveness, based on both aesthetic appeal and personality. It does vary by, and within, an episode.

We need to find the other 3 and have a party.(I may be one of the five people in the US who hasn't watched seen Jaws -
The best thing about Shark Weeks past was the ads. My favorite included two little kids in swim gear backing slowly away from their inflatable kiddy pool as the theme from Jaws played.
The worst thing about the current Shark Week is that it "inspired" Shart Week on Comedy Central.
-
If NBC could get the rights to whatever that musical is that's based on Kind Hearts and Coronets...it won the Tony this year...Gentleman's Guide? Anyway, if they got the rights and cast Borle for the lead, I would vow to watch more regular NBC shows.

It's about the only reason I might watch this one.
-
It looks like it's just the first one because the running time is 2 hours. It also looks like it's running as part of Faye Dunaway day since it's followed by 3 Days of the Condor and Chinatown.
If I understood the question.

Mmmm. Bourbon glazed chicken...I guess I know what I'm having tonight for dinner. Might skip the chicken part, though.

That was a limp episode overall. Maybe it's good they're going on another long break.

The distinction between "bring" and "take" seems to have vanished.
It also seems that very few people understand how to use "underestimate" and "overestimate." I first noticed the problem in an ad for a dentist or something similar. One of the spokespeople earnestly informed us that "you can never underestimate the power of a smile". I've noticed it so often since then that I wonder if I'm the one getting it wrong?

I've been ff'ing through both TDS and TCR lately, too. Often I just don't care about the guests on either show and would rather speed it up to get to @midnight.

That's actually a valid literary device. It's called the "Historic Present," and its purpose is to make the narrative more vivid, in order to make the reader feel as though he or she really were there as an eyewitness to the events being related.
Yes...none of this does anything to reduce the irritation level at its use. Indeed, it only saddens me that historians encourage a lack of imagination on the part of the viewer who is usually watching dramatic re-enactments of the events under discussion. And this:
The Romans, for example, used it quite frequently in prose to great effect.just makes me glad they're all dead.

Here's the thing--someone sticking their arm in front of you is not going to stop you smashing into the windshield or dashboard. Your seat belt is going to do that. All sticking an arm out is going to get you is a broken arm, and no control over the steering wheel. So, please, if I'm your passenger, just keep your damn hands on the wheel.

Heh. I use "Shut! Shut! You is talky meat!" to the cat chorus at dinner time.

The Colbert Report had a clip of Sean Hannity saying "literally" literally at least a dozen times. I thought of you all. It should be up at the Comedy Central site by now. It begins with the little "apparently" kid. This might work.

I will not miss Shart Week when it's done. But aside from that and Donall, the shows have been pretty funny.

They can't say anything that isn't true on the Internet--Wikipedia's explanation. You can tour the building and see the actual window for...the first or second? They've replaced the glass...
I only saw it from below while waiting for the Loreto church to re-open after the nuns had lunch.

S10.E18: Padma Lakshmi
in Whose Line Is It Anyway?
God, I needed that yesterday. Very funny show, helped tremendously by fast-forwarding through Helping Hands as always. I also (with poster upthread) loved that Heather grossed out Ryan or whatever that was when he cracked up during props.
Ryan's 7 Dwarfs name should be Gangly.
