[Commercials That Annoy, Irritate or Outright Enrage]

Was it Puppy Uppers or Doggy Downers?

["The Colbert Report": Week of 6/2/14]

When I saw the facial hair, I thought Stephen was mirror-universe-Stephen and there'd be some Star Trek reference.

["In A World....." Movie and TV Show Trailers]

No need to explain, "never watch Moment by Moment" is valuable advice for us all.

[The Musketeers - General Discussion]

This is the first adaptation of the Musketeers in which I've liked Aramis. not loathed D'Artagnan, and did not immediately love Athos. I don't know what to make of that but I'll happily watch the second cheesy series when it comes out.

 

It's a pity Capaldi can't come back as Richeliue when he clearly spent lots of time learning how to twirl that cloak dramatically for the opening credits.

[S01.E01: I/O]

Meh. I'll give it another episode and hope it improves but I was mostly bored. Maybe part of the problem is that I remember the 1980s too clearly and don't feel the safety of historical distance that I do about the 60s and 70s.

["The Colbert Report": Week of 6/2/14]

I'm glad for new episodes but are we just going to get musical guests and their time-eating performances every Thursday from now until the CBS gig? They are my least favorite thing on the show aside from the weird guest characters that occasionally show up.

[Small Talk: We're On Notice]

I'm so glad there will be new episodes again. It's kind of odd having multiple threads instead of just one...not odd, actually, just different. So many new things to learn!

["The Daily Show": Week of 5/19/14]

It's going to take a while to get used to it over here.

[Favorite Commercials]

One of my all-time favorites. And whatever happened to that guy?

 

And another: Doomed!

[Say What?: Commercials That Made Us Scratch Our Heads]

There's a Depends commercial running right now where a woman is musing about how wearing Depends makes it possible for her to leave the house and go out and do active things, like kickboxing. Then there's a scene of her working with her kickboxing trainer, and as she lifts her leg in a perfect roundhouse kick, all I can think is, "She's peeing right now."

Cannot stop laughing at this. May need Depends.

["The Daily Show": Week of 6/2/14]

I'll just be glad to have new episodes.

 

In time, this new place will seem comfy and familiar, but right now--still adjusting.
