Yes, The Office! Thank you!

I finally got around to watching ep one. I liked it. Who is that female cop patrolling the shipyards? I know her so well, but don't know how. I suck at figuring these things out on the net so thank you if anyone knows. It was great to hear Prarie Home Companion. Even better it seems he liked it! I hope Ziggy isn't a main player. I'd be fine to see Mcnulty fish him out next episode. The Wire is somewhat like Gosford Park for me. I think I could watch an episode 10 times and still not know names. Intrigued by the dead girls. Wondering if that was trafficking gone bad? I can't believe a bunch of corpses would be of use. I like how above it was described as a story expanding. I, too, missed the amazing and phenomenal cast of season one and hope this groups sucks me in. I think they will. I have a lot of faith in this show.

Good to know! Man I had forgotten Jello Pudding Pops. And Bill Cosby with the ads. Especially when I was young, chocolate based items were my favorite dessert, the exception being Pudding Pops. I preferred the vanilla first, swirl second, chocolate last. Remember when Bill Cosby did the pudding commercials? He'd eat out of a glass stemmed dessert dish. My heart longed for one of those. I also desperately wanted the OJ glasses with oranges the Keaton's used on Family Ties. I also wanted to touch Herbert and Lulu's wings on Pinwheel so maybe I was an odd tyke.

Rinaldo, a part of me feels we aren't doing this rewatch right if there isn't some fucking profanity in the titles. When in Rome and all :) I liked your ideas. We've had some good responses so I think we can start soon. Maybe people can join as they watch, catch up etc. Eta: I hope Toxic Unicorn will join it. Had expressed an interest earlier

Ok, there doesn't seem to be a season two topic. If I'm up for getting us together as a group, will someone agree to start us a season 2 thread? I don't know protocol so please help me as needed Do we want to watch like 2 eps a week? Should we watch ep 1 and 2 this week? I could swing that. Let me know if that works for you guys.

We've got ourselves a game! Awesome Brooklynista! I've never done an official. How does this work? Do we say "we will watch x by x date and post in x?" I do have a life, I do, but I can't wait.

Rinaldo if you're willing, I can go at your pace (that sentence almost seems Wire worthy). HBO has it On Demand through at least 2015 through my Comcast. So R and any others, when you're ready let's do Season 2 ep 1!Princess Sparkle, can you watch?

I just finished season one this morning. Excellent. I do wish I had someone watching with me because I have found I'm that person who needs a "ok, so now what....?" after some scenes. I loved it 100%, yet fear I got 80%. If anyone wants to join me in starting season 2 we can virtually watch together :)

harrie your woods cat story kind of got to me. I cried a bit. I think it was that you all were so kind to go back and she came running when you whistled. And lived happily ever after. Because I'm prone to losing sleep with worry and feeling sick when I hear sad animal stories, I stay away from anything animal related. Post your pet photos has been wonderful for me because I've been able to safely see and read so much kindness. And viewed so many animals who are happy and safe and loved.

You're fast! I edited it because I jumped the gun and knew it was them....then I read you liked them! Sometimes places just get things wrong. I don't want cinnamon in my red sauce and I don't want sweet on my white pizza. I want cheese, garlic and yum. I always say though "well, it could have been the best slice of my life. Have to try to find out".

My big time vote is the sun dried tomatoes. Even typing that made me gag a bit. I had an identical situation as you and they were the culprit. Maybe when combined with the other things it throws it off. My sun dried offense happened at Big River Brewery.

I may have done myself a disservice by reading here first and then watching. I had somewhat set myself up for a cold Robert and wound up thinking I saw a very normal Robert. Agree about the pecks, but I saw a glimmer of passion in the hot tub. Sarah has an innocence or naïveté about her. Whether she intends to or not, I see her that way. Which is to be commended on this show (what am I typing; I can't stand her). Sarah is more like an Ashley Hebert than Courtney who fucked Ben in the ocean. They don't convey "easy". So I think Robert followed that line of thinking and was a gentleman. After the FS date in his camera talk he had a big smile and was like "we had a great time!" He seemed sincere. He also said things like "I thought that's what we had" when Sarah, the now wannabe whore is griping she can't brag about being sore and wanting all night pillow talk and shit. Dear Sarah, sex does not and will never mean he loves you. It's how he treats you. You were treated with respect and kindness. A part of me is jealous Sarah doesn't appear to know this. Unless a girl marries young or abstains, most of us learn (sometimes many times) that sex too soon with a man can yield a phone not ringing as opposed to the final rose. And to be fair, it can result in a great relationship, but physical interaction, early on, is not how to tell if a guy likes you. I think Lacy and Marcus are a match made in heaven. They are equally attractive (tho he may have a slight edge), seem simple, and best yet, seem happy and like nice people. They are a tad boring, but they don't seem to be in on that so it shouldn't be an issue. Speaking of attractive, my god Ashlee has never looked more beautiful. She was breathtaking in every scene last night. I hope she finds happiness, single or in a relationship. I meant to type one thought and it just kept going. Didn't even get to rightfully bash Sean, damn it.

It's ordered! Thank you so much.

I am not in my 20s and I must look up this mysterious "would ride a Kawasaki". Is that literal, tongue in cheek, wtf have I missed out on?

Oh my gosh, Mini-Mart, Ludo is the cutest thing ever. So soft, so happy, so wonderful!

And yet the casting people chose Brooks. And even better, invited him back on this trash show. They are not stupid. They know a "this will get people talking" when they see one. To be fair, Des is boring. Cute? Yes. That's where it ends. Even Chris who she chose does nothing for me. I have one of the most straight up sexy, beautiful girlfriends. Back when we were 21 she tried out for this and got really far. They flew her to LA and did interviews. She didn't make it. But when I see who does, I know the casting people are all agenda. My friend Carrie would have only got "she's cool as shit and smoking hot" not "damn I hope that bitch dies a slow death". Or maybe not if she had signed a line saying she would bring the drama. But a bunch of hot people ok with themselves is boring. They need past deaths, sexual confusion, ultra conservative thinking, mom with dead baby daddy etc etc Brooks may be good looking to a percentage, but you can bet there were 100 objectively hot guys wanting his spot. And they took him. And we are talking. Harrison and team win again.

I do (hence the Coors light for dinner) and wish I always cooked dinner. I love to cook, but I just haven't perfected the cooking for one. And the recipes I find online for one or two never call my name. So I find myself having Cap'n Crunch for dinner last night. This all makes me sound 21 and sadly, I am not. When I write it out like this, I'm a tad ashamed. Hold me accountable: I will make and post two dinners next week. I challenge all singles to do the same :) On topic: My (also single) friend found a recipe for pimento cheese and she's invited me over. So pimento cheese and wine on the docket tonight!

So I need to make sure because no one ever clarified....was that guys name Tasos? On Bropks date I think he said something like "I'm going to keep my hands here so you're comfortable" or some equally awkward sentence. The "here" in that was stuffed in his front pockets. What a weird thing to say. Between that and his lame ass comedian routine on the couch with Sarah, he got on my nerves. And how laughable that Sarah considered breaking up with that guy, haha! And yes, I do think they had the turtle whisper Tasos before his arrival. Which was amazing. Last thought. I hate being asked in real life and think the question "Why are you single" should be banned. Yes, Tasos who tosses the Sose, don't ask a girl again.

You're my hero. I do it for 2 weeks and want to hit a brick wall with my fist. I have so much respect for you. I really do. Well guys I'm going to keep it honest. A diet pill and a few Coors light.

I guess it doesn't qualify as a disaster but it has created a go to quote for me. Back when I was younger the Food Network was taking off and I had always loved cooking. I fell in love with Emeril and my parents bought me a cookbook. I made his chicken and dumplings. It said to cover the cover the whole chicken until it had (guessing) a 1/2 inch over it. Well I was a kid and didn't think of buoyancy and filled a huge pot with water. The chicken floated so I kept pouring water. In hindsight I'm guessing quarts overage. And I know he gets some bad press, but Emerils recipes aren't that easy in general so I forged ahead. End result was a very expensive and outrageously time involved experiment. It tasted like really bad water. But my dad, God love him, said "I think I detect the jalapeño". That is the quote that lives on to this day. I can't tell you how many times we have had something shitty or go to a bad restaurant someone will go "I think I detect the jalapeño".

I love mint chocolate chip ice cream. But....it must be green. I don't like Breyers and I went to a farmers market last year where they made it with fresh mint. I hated it. I'm not proud of that. But damn I love the fake green stuff. Add Hershey's syrup, wet walnuts and yeah real whipped cream. It's akin to heaven. Not trendy and I don't give a fuck ;)

It was really bad and not funny I suffered til the end thinking it has to get better. It didn't. A full ride to USC? Athlete or academics? If academics, I am pissed I didn't grow up in California.

Some things I hate: Olives. I hate them. Like to the annoying point where I can't just pick them off; the smell and taste lingers. Side story. I went on a date one time with this great looking guy who ordered me an extra dirty martini and I went to the bathroom and puked. I can drink gin or vodka like 007, but no. Sweet potatoes: As a kid at Thanksgiving I was told I had to try the sweet potato casserole. I obliged but sadly didn't make it to the restroom that time and threw up all over my parents dining room. This was before hardwood was the must have flooring.

I agree Cecily. I also had a feeling that Clare had a realization that he was kind of dumb and not worth the the bullshit and crap accommodations. I don't rewatch Game of Thrones much less this shit so my memory may be way off. But I think in maybe her raccoon therapy sesh she said "what is he even saying" or something like that. Zack may not be a dumbass, but he seems stupid onscreen. I don't even think she needed beautiful prose, but more than his "uh, yeah , well". I think she had had it and realized he's kind of a dud. She lost me with the Dancing With The Stars. While that provided huge comic relief, I gathered she was serious. And that's fucking delusional.

I wish someone in this thread would adopt me. Even if only for a week. I'm in awe everytime I read here. Pinot Grigio and frozen chicken cordon bleu (that spelling was my attempt to hang with you all) cooked to perfection at 450 in about 50 minutes.
