    Quoting myself, I'm watching this again and I never noticed Frasier's facial reaction to this.  I'm LOSING MY MIND laughing.

    Why does Niles know SO much about Jewish culture?  Why is he taking SO much joy at pretending to be Jewish?  LOL

    Faye telling Niles to "send the elevator back up" for her is SO odd.  I've never heard of such a thing.  She can't press the button herself?  Are elevators different in fancier buildings?  

    Martin knew the Christmas tree was in the powder room, so when Mrs. Moskowitz wanted to use the powder room, he should have intervened, but he just stood there.

    The only other time I've ever heard that phrase is when I would visit family living in the high-rise projects in Chicago. The elevators were so slow, the buttons didn't work on certain floors, and the elevator sometimes didn't stop on certain floors unless the button was pressed while in the elevator. 

     

    Mrs. Moskowitz is one of my favorite episodes. 

     

    Horrible times. Horrible times.

    Do any of you use at least one quote from the show on at least a daily basis?

    No, huh, just me? Oh ok then...yeah, whatever. That's not weird at all. 

    My BF just randomly sent me a text with only the two words "harvest wheat" and I've been laughing ever since. He's a Fraiser weirdo too which a main reason I keep him around.

    Oh dear God. I say that at least 2x a day.

    Do they?  I've never really given it much thought?

    I don't really think she had a bad experience.  She was falsely accusing a cop of all kind of things and all he was doing was side eyeing her.  She was trying to make her own bad experience.

    That's a old joke from a Paul Mooney comedy routine.

     

    What she was doing was living out her fetish. The worst form of racist love that a person can show a Black person. She was acting out her form of racist love, which is what black fishing (what her form of culture appropriation is called) is. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

  4. After 3 years, I've finally signed up for Sling and Reelz. I've watched a few episodes, but the Prodigy episode taught me a lot about him. I was not a big Mobb Deep fan, but I am familiar with a couple of their songs. I know how hard it is to live we with Sickle Cell Disease. My husband and son both have the trait. I've known people who have died during a crisis, while pregnant, or during child birth. Until I watched his episode, I didn't realize that I don't know anyone who has SCD and lived to be 40. Very sad episode, rest in peace Prodigy. 

     

     

    I hope to catch the Bourdain episode soon. It's not on On Demand.

  5. I've recently rewatched Empire, and it's not a bad show. I miss it already. However, these 2 songs are so good. It would be nice if we could get a Empire movie to tie up all of the loose ends.

    I have the box set of DVDs of all the seasons of KOQ. I can have a marathon any time I want, or just see my favorite. 

    I paid $39.99 for it about 8 years ago, but it has more than paid for itself. 

    I wish that they would run streaming deals for entire seasons. I would buy quite a few shows. I haven't seen my DVD player since I bought a Chromecast 7 years ago. I'm going to check out the local pawnshop for seasons of my favorite TV shows.

    Do you have access to the FYI channel, TVLAND channel or the CMT channel?

    FYI channel shows "KoQ" from noon Tues until  Wed morning at 4am.

    TVLAND shows  "KoQ" usually from 11pm to 3am.

    CMT shows "KoQ" during the weekdays 1-4pm

    Thank you, I don't really have cable. I have 10 channels that I picked from Spectrum and none of them are showing KoQ. I'll subscribe to Peacock for a few months and binge watch it on the weekends.

    The second one feels similar to Once is Not Enough by Jacqueline Susann, but it’s a little different. Maybe this is just popping memories of 80s TV movies, but I feel like Deborah Raffin starred in something like that and that’s why Once is Not Enough is coming to mind.

    This sounds interesting, but it's not it. 😔

  9. I've been searching for this book for years. It's about a group of girls who live in a small California town.  On the night of their graduation, one of them is raped by a fellow student. One of them or maybe all of them, kill the rapist. They all go on to lead different lives. One becomes a model, one a TV news anchor, sort of like Barbara Walter's, one stays in the hometown and gets married. The book details their different lives and how they lose touch. They're all brought back together when the one who stayed in the hometown kills someone who is asking about the classmate that was killed before. I remember reading this in paperback in the mid 80s. 

     

    The other book I'm looking for is about a girl who grew up with a strict father who is in a high rank in the military. She runs away from home and becomes a model. She gets hooked on drugs in NYC and ends up going to rehab and meeting a plastic surgeon who scars her face so that she can never leave him. They also open a celebrity rehab and have a couple of women there, one was a Black musician, one a senators wife. Someone is threatening to tell the tabloids about the celebrity patients at the rehab. I know that the rehab was called Oasis, and the main character was name Stevie.

    Just picked up the book at my local public library. Only on chapter 3 and already know I'm going to be crying.

    Excellent journalist/writer/author of this book. I like when writers give me an in depth description of the part of the country the crimes occurred...from the social classes, weather, poverty levels, drug use. 

    Thanks Queena for mentioning this book. I probably never would of known a book was written about this particular crime. 

    A very dear friend of mine was murdered a year ago. Nobody arrested or named in his death. I think the case has been closed. He had no relatives who cared about him. His stepsons were not interested in pursuing the case. But I think it's time I try to do something to find his killers. My friend was a kind, gentle soul. Viet Nam veteran, animal lover and my "true crime fanatic" buddy.

    Anyway Happy New Year to all of my true crime friends here on PT Forums!

    I'm sorry about your friend. He sounds like a good guy and even if he has no one pushing the police to solve his murder they should still solve it. 

     

    There's also a documentary that came on HLN about the book. If you have HBO Max then you can find it on there. It's the same name as the book.

    No bodies yet, but they have discovered what happened to Ashley Freeman and Lauria Bible, and it ain't pretty.  They were the two girls who disappeared after the parents of one were murdered and had their house burned down.  Turns out that the parents were buying/dealing drugs and were killed by drug contacts, who then proceeded to kidnap, drug and rape the girls.  For days on end.  Apparently, a lot of people knew this, but were too terrified of the dealers to talk.  Here's a link.

    I assumed that they were dead, but the poor girls didn't even have the small mercy of being killed the same night that they were taken.  Major kudos to the cold case detective who followed up on a random piece of evidence found in the case files.

    ETA: "Allegedly", as the case hasn't been tried yet.

    I'm reading Hell in the Heartland and it's so heartbreaking. The PI gave the detectives the insurance card of one of the gf of one of the kidnappers. If they had acted, they could've saved those girls. They were kept alive for up to 2 weeks.

    Yea not sure how Emmett just had a spare $500 for that ring.

    I don’t know how they are running that business or where they’re getting money.

    He started selling weed I thought. I remember a couple of episodes back them going to a weedstore.

    Good for Tiffany Cross, speaking truth to power this morning! I loved the way she challenged Joe‘s narrative about Portland, about previous administrations, and about the Black experience in general. “You’re all experiencing now what Black Americans have been experiencing all along.”

    He was knocked off balance. I wonder if she’ll be invited onto the show again anytime soon. Not that it matters. She doesn’t need to make nice. I love, love, love how Joy’s elevation to the prime time slot has opened up pathways for so many talented Black women like Tiffany and Zerlina. They don’t need to suffer Joe anymore.

    I think Mika’s hair looks better when it is more honey colored and longer. The short cut plus darker color don’t work together.

    She did this thing, I think it was either yesterday or the day before, where she tried to do a Joe style rant. She even adopted his inflection and sarcastic way of talking. It didn’t work at all. It made me cringe. It sounded like he wrote it for her.

    Tiffany Cross is wonderful, and nope, she will not be invited back anytime soon. This is the first time I have seen her on this show since she put Johnathon Lemeire in his place. 

     

    I didn't catch any snide remarks from JoeMika, and I'm glad. Mika kind of gets on my nerves.
