I'm reasonably certain that wasn't Callan McAuliffe playing him though.
It was. They showed him on Talking Dead in zombie make-up.

If Kevin's waiting for the cabin to be built, fine. But rent something in the mean time and get out of Toby & Kate's. Of course, then Kate would be all alone with the kids and whine about that.
Get a custody agreement. Now. I'm surprised that no one has even thought of that. Hammer out some details on holidays. It's not that hard.
Madison shouldn't be unilaterally deciding things. There are two parents, both wanting to remain engaged. So just deciding you're hanging with your new boyfriend on a major holiday - regardless of the fact that it's a Pearson thing - is all kinds of wrong.
Re: Kate/Sophia and Kate/Madison: Family, especially for the Pearsons, comes first. So Kate was right not sharing Kevin's secret with Sophia and Sophia should have realized that years ago. Although I do think they interacted prior to this, but I might be mistaken. My focus tends to wane when Sophia is on the screen. But Kate/Madison was all kinds of wrong, for the same reason. Family first. She should have at the very least mentioned to Kevin to discuss holidays with Madison and maybe, you know, get a custody agreement?
I totally zoned out on Beth's call, so I'll take everyone's word that it was cringe. I thought it was stupid, calling after so long.

I liked this episode, a good start to the second third of the final season. 🙄
Gabriel is totally Murder Priest now. Kinda digging it, actually. Maggie is slowly turning into Negan. Daryl is totally faking out the Commonwealth. I just hope it doesn't take the rest of the season to get to where we learn how/why.
Aaron killing the walker underwater was pretty nasty. Knew the pipe would break because duh, but how the hell did he get a rope tied somewhere to get out of there?
Poor Alden, knew he was a goner. Nice of him to leave another zombie surprise for Maggie.

Sure, Gracie is his kid but Judith is also just a kid. The parentification of Judith because she is brave (or Rick's kid) is really starting to grate.
This irritated me, too.

Just watching the trailer for Dawn of the Dead scared tf out of me when I was a young lad.
Night of the Living Dead is still one of the scariest movies I've ever seen.
Agreed. Even now, years later, Night of the Living Dead scares me.
My late sister's boyfriend played a zombie in the original Dawn of the Dead. He's one of the ones you can see rushing in the door at the tenement. Speaking of, even though it's been years and a bunch of remodels, I still get creeped out when I go to Monroeville Mall.

Just finished the series and I enjoyed it. Good cheesy fun.
The Cruise movie (never saw the second because someone I trust said it sucked) was good, if I didn't consider it a Reacher movie. I called him Mack Smeacher. Cruise is a better actor but just really didn't fit the character.
I've read most of the books - the most recent one was my last because Child's brother is writing them now and you can tell, plus it was very political - and I was glad that the show was pretty faithful to the source material.
I'm looking forward to the next season.

Maybe because it's the GREATEST MOVIE EVER!!! Except maybe for Evil Dead 2.

I agree with @Nashville. Army of Darkness is the GREATEST MOVIE EVER!!!

You can buy lead substitute as an additive and mix it into unleaded gasoline.
He did that once, said it wasn't the same. So about every six months, we go buy five gallons of the expensive stuff.

I never did with my father, but I call my mother by her first name all the time, especially when she pisses me off, like when she ordered some random thing from Facebook and never got any confirmation, then made me call the credit card company when they charged her for the thing she never got.
One of the first movies I remember watching on a VCR was on an old Betamax. It belonged to this family I babysat for and they told me to watch this really creepy movie once the kids went to bed. It was Evil Dead. I was hooked.

We were very early in getting a vcr. Vcr and Microwave my dad was ahead of the curve but he must have spent $1000 in 1981(?) for our vcr.
We got a microwave early, but it was a commercial type with preset buttons. I think my asshole step-father #1 stole it from somewhere. That thing was a beast.
I don't think we had a VCR the whole time I lived at home. When we got married, we paid $750 for ours.
2 hours ago, Superclam said:I don't believe you can get leaded gas in the US. ❔
From the internet, so you know it's true:
"Effective January 1, 1996, the Clean Air Act banned the sale of the small amount of leaded fuel that was still available in some parts of the country for use in on-road vehicles. EPA said fuel containing lead may continue to be sold for off-road uses, including aircraft, racing cars, farm equipment, and marine engines."
We actually buy leaded for our ATV because the unleaded eats some little doohickey in the carburetor. You can buy it at a Shell station not far from us; they call it racing fuel and it sure ain't cheap. Easily $2-$3 more than regular unleaded.

I had only heard the song as the opening theme to The Sopranos. Wikipedia'd it just now, and learned something new. But for better or for worse, I think it's so associated with the show that the ship has sailed on trivializing it.
I had no idea of the story of the song and never really watched The Sopranos. But as you said, that song is so associated with the show that I realized it had to be related to it and that whoever was driving was important to the show.

Is Gronk (the football player) really as stupid as he behaves on the USAA commercials I keep seeing during every commercial break?
50 minutes ago, Bastet said:As a football fan, I would say, yes, he is every bit as dumb as he looks. He's smart with money, but otherwise he's pretty much the village idiot of the NFL. I hate those commercials; there's nothing funny about being that stupid (whether real or an act).
He is the close friend of the son of one of my co-workers, and she says he is very intelligent. Guess the stupid act pays well.

Does anybody here dip their pizza in Hidden Valley Ranch creamy salad dressing (as the commercial suggests)? Or any salad dressing?
I do, but only buffalo chicken pizza in blue cheese dressing and as @Bastet said, only the naked crust (which might have a hint of sauce on it, but no cheese or chicken).

Actually, that was a Lee Majors-specific joke; he and Farrah Fawcett were still married when “The Fall Guy” started airing.
P. S.: my favorite part of The Fall Guy? Hottubbing Heather Thomas in the opening credits. 😁
I thought they had just divorced when that came out. I'm too old to remember...
6 hours ago, nachomama said:In the battle of the heathers were you team locklear or Thomas?
Thomas. Definitely Thomas. Always thought Locklear was a bit trashy. Of course, some people like that better. 😄

I loved “the fall guy” with lee majors. Hands down one of the catchiest theme songs. I’ve never seen it in reruns. Was it good or do I just remember it that way? Also loved bionic woman. Not so much bionic man but I love the hell out of Jamie summers. This is so abstract but I frikkin loved how she pushed her hair behind her ear when she was doing the bionic listening.
I loved both of those shows! "I'm the unknown stuntman that made Eastwood look so fine..." And the opening about being seen with Farrah - I thought that was kinda weird and funny. I had the biggest crush on his sidekick, Douglas Barr.
Lee Majors played Ash's dad on "Ash vs. the Evil Dead." Still looks pretty good. Lots of work, tho.
It probably wasn't that good. Just like all those other shows we used to love. But I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

I wonder if Madonna is getting paid for this. Odd song to use for a cruise ship.
I thought so too, but they're just playing on the name of the cruise line. Which is kinda dumb, when you think about it.

This brought to you courtesy of Mannix reruns on MeTV; I seem to recall when I was a kid thinking the show was pretty cool, but now I can’t watch an episode without at some point shaking my head and saying, “man, that is some seriously bad acting”.
I think the acting was just so much more broad back then. I was watching some old Wild, Wild West, which I loved when I was a kid. Yeah, super dated, but cheesy fun. The acting, tho. Wow.

Why should the show focus on mean comments? Many obese people don’t focus on mean comments they focus on their jobs, partners, kids, friends and live life like everyone else.
I don't think people want it to be the focus, just not ignored but for a few scenes that happened years ago.

I don't care about the trans, but a man-child? WTF? Is that? Is that a guy who never matured?
Probably half of the male contestants on the show, especially during the first few seasons.
I'm wondering which All-Stars' kids will be participating.

But why would we give an officebot a death ray?
I'd be making friends with that robot, then tell him who was talking about him behind his back so maybe, he'd use the death ray...

There's a phone number JUST like mine in a neighboring area code. I get calls all the time for Margie. Somebody finally mentioned Margie's last name. I googled her. Turns out, she died recently. (Most calls seem to be real estate agents wanting to sell her property for her.) So lately, when somebody calls asking for Margie, I just say, "She's dead," and hang up. NOW I'm getting calls for Kathy, who apparently is Margie's heir.
The prefix on my landline was one number off of another woman's number. I'd get calls for Lisa constantly. One time, I got a message from a friend that she was at the airport waiting for Lisa to pick her up. Then a couple hours later, the same friend called pissed off, telling Lisa she owed her for the cab ride from the airport. I finally realized that the number was off by one when Lisa's grandmother called me. She was a very nice lady.
I actually recorded a message that if you were calling Lisa, you had the wrong number, that's how often they were. A friend of my husband left a message asking for Lisa. 😄

...wow, those two songs really do blend well together. Dang. That was good.
I couldn't believe how perfect they go together. First time I heard it, there was no intro, it was just the song and it blew me away when I was expecting U2 and got Metallica.
Chris Cornell did some awesome covers. Gone way too soon. ☹️

I don't know if I ever told this story here or not but here goes. My flower shop's phone number was one digit off of a hotel's across town. I would get these whackjob calls.
The main line for my office is one digit away from a plumber. You can imagine the calls I had to field when I was receptionist.

I remember when Part D first came out. My mom gave me a list of her drugs and I spent HOURS looking for an inexpensive, appropriate Part D insurer. I finally came up with the answer, told her, and THEN she goes to AARP for help. They came up with the same recommendation. I was so peeved. WHY did I do all that research if she wasn't gonna follow it? Jeez, old people can be a challenge. Ooops. I'm an old people now.
55 minutes ago, SoMuchTV said:Not to be all Susie Sunshine but couldn’t you look at it as, she got a second opinion that confirmed that you were right?
Sounds like my mom and no, I can't look at it as she confirmed I was right. I couldn't tell you how often I researched things for my mother, taking lots of time away from my own pursuits, my own family, etc. Then she turns around and does whatever because she got an email about a good deal or one of her friends told her to do this. Inevitably, she bitches because she either got screwed on price or didn't get everything she wanted.

I love to cook and bake to but for me it's the clean up that I hate.
I hate it all, but I'd rather do clean up than cook.
I used Hello Fresh for a while and I liked it, introduced me to some things I probably wouldn't have eaten and since they give you exactly what you need, I didn't have to buy a whole bunch of something and use a quarter of it, leaving the rest to go bad. I dropped it when the pandemic hit. Might go back to it once I have to go back in the office.

S06.E06: Our Little Island Girl: Part 2
in This Is Us
I totally agree. Kate did throw that line in there about how Kevin being there and her marriage, but if he left, she would have no help with the kids. Plus, the two of them are so co-dependent, it's ridiculous.
I was basing my post on what @greekmom said above. If that's what he's waiting for, then he's got a long wait, so he needs to rent something ASAP. If not, my point still stands. Call a realtor, Kev.
