"Getting sucked off at prom? I suppose it could happen." I laughed so hard at that one. Good episode, but neither Sam nor Jay went into the attic since they bought the place?

I wouldn't be surprised if they do. From what I've read, Ellen is about done with it (Lord knows she's made enough money from it) but they keep talking her into another season. At this rate, if they do go to 20, she'll probably appear in one episode.

I used to gross out my son by eating a spoonful of sour cream.

It was. Back in the day, I bought the whole season on iTunes for something like $5. I don't remember much about it, other than Nathan Fillion in a classic Challenger. 😄

Amen to all of that. Way too many times, a form of protein shows up on day 19 or 20. Not every time, but enough to make me think it's planted. Just like I think the producers released the turtle in the first (I think) XL when Jeff and EJ were catching all those eels plus caught the turtle. I've often wondered if there is someone besides the camera operators following them during extraction, guiding them where to go. Because that rudimentary map isn't very detailed. Also, alerting the truck/boat/plane - whatever is picking them up - that they will be at the spot in 5 minutes, so the vehicle always shows about 30 seconds after they get there.

The closest I've seen was Laura, who got a 9.9. Never a perfect 10.

Chenny (Air Force woman) got on my nerves in the very beginning, in her introduction. But she grew on me. I liked that she was willing to help her partner, but not at her own expense. The guys were good; no bullshit. You think those terrapins heard the screams of their brethren and got the hell outta town?

It's on Amazon Prime, but not free.

For a mid-season finale, it was kinda blah. Were there still people at Hilltop? Or was Maggie and her ragtag gang all that was left? I would have liked a convo between Leah and Daryl before he killed her. I read that the series finale would have been different had there not been a bunch of spin-offs planned. Would like to see what would have been.

The two biggest for me are Firefly and Adventures of Brisco County, both on FOX. When a show came out on FOX called Drive, my son said I wasn't allowed to watch it because I was a curse for FOX shows. Well, Nathan Fillion, fresh from Firefly, driving a classic Dodge Challenger? I couldn't resist. I think it lasted 3 episodes. There was also Journeyman, Terriers, American Gothic, Grandfathered, Boomtown, The Job. So, so many...

Amber and Gary, AGAIN? Was Jeff not available?

That was my original question, but I misread your response. I think it was examiners/evaluators that messed me up. 😁 No reason for H & K (examiners) to talk to Schmidt, every reason for the evaluators to talk to Schmidt.

Pretty sure they wanted to talk to all the residents, but they were all (with the exception of Schmidt) working on the pig organ transplant. I think it makes sense to talk to the residents, as it's regarding their training and their careers. Why they specifically asked for Schmidt doesn't make any sense, tho, unless they knew it was his mother that made the complaint.

I think it's the gimmick, plus the female captain. Sure, this forum doesn't seem to like them much, but when you watch the audience, they have a lot of fans out there.

I think as others have pointed out, TPTB love Witch Doctor (as do others, if the audience is any indication) and they wanted them in the finals. But it was bullshit. They unstuck WD, but didn't unstick Blip, whose magnets had it hung up on the rail?

Same thing I asked myself. How would you like to be that patient? "Hey, who are those people?" "They're trying to decide if the hospital is good enough to keep teaching residents." "You mean that resident that is going to do my surgery? Get me the hell out of here." Wasn't he supposed to talk to the evaluators? What was the point of him talking to Hair and No-Personality? The only good part of the show. He's no longer living with Jo. She kicked him out when she realized she loved him but couldn't keep sleeping with him. Or something like that that ruined a great platonic friendship. So with you 100% She is horrible and I like to fast forward thru her scenes. It brings me joy. Meredith is not going anywhere. Although, given how seldom Ellen is on the show anymore, it wouldn't really matter if she did. I don't understand why Not-Derek wouldn't let that guy's wife in the first time. Gown her up like him and the residents and let her have her moment.

While out of all the bots that were left in the final 8, I'm glad Tantrum won, but damn, that was some messed up shit for those last few fights. Why was Witch Doctor unstuck when other bots weren't? There have been many, many times that a bot gets stuck and they lose the match. Yes, Minotaur lost that wheel, but by the standard rules they've used in the past, WD should have been counted out and Minotaur move on. Then when they decided to ignore that rule, they figured, let's ignore another one and let Minotaur crab-walk around (hell, no, Daniel didn't have control of the bot) and not count it out. What are the rules here? Are they making them up as they go along so they can get a fan favorite in the finals? As much as I dislike Jake Ewert, I thought Hydra won that match.

Have you ever automatically discounted someone's opinion/post on a message board because you didn't like their username? Maybe it reminded you of someone else? Not on this thread, but on another thread on this site, there's someone with a handle that is very similar to that of a manipulative bitch on another site I used to frequent. I can't even read her posts without cringing.

I actually heard it as "apples and pears." Wasn't until I came here and saw "apples and pants" that I replayed it and heard the pants. So yeah, I agree. He just rolled with it. Damn, that kid is awesome. I cut one of my brothers out of my life for years because he A) borrowed my husband's ATV and returned it damaged without any offer of repair or even "I'm sorry;" then B) accused my husband of breaking one of his tools that my husband did not (I found out later that HE broke it right after my husband returned it, but figured we'd take the blame anyway) and he was talking shit about my husband to the rest of my family. It wasn't until one of my other brothers got terminal cancer did I talk to him again. Your spouse/children should ALWAYS come before your siblings. But the Pearsons don't quite get that.

Yes, they were both to blame for this, but Toby took responsibility. Kate did not. She just jumped on him for the umpteenth time. Teaching a blind toddler how to open a door is not "good parenting" or whatever the hell she tried to say. It's irresponsible. He's not going to be locked in his bedroom forever. What happens when they're hanging in the living room and Hailey needs something from the kitchen and Kate just moseys out there? Jack could easily open the door and leave. but it would still be Toby's fault. Kevin and Randall (mostly Kevin, of course) butting into the fight was wrong. If he was being abusive, that's one thing. But they were just yelling at each other and truly, Toby didn't even say anything that bad. Kevin just didn't like the tone. Guess what, Kevin? I didn't like your tone. Stay the fuck out of other people's problems, especially when you were a contributing factor. Kinda creepy of Kevin to go into Madison's bedroom looking for Elijah. What if he was doing something creepy with Madison's underwear? When Toby came in after they were laughing about the doll, why didn't Kate just say "We were laughing at the doll" first thing instead of 'Ha, ha, nothing, really." Then Kevin wouldn't have opened his big mouth and made it worse. I don't agree with this at all. If you have toddlers, let alone special needs toddlers, you make sure your front doors are locked. Hell, I did this up until my kids were around 10 because I had a sleepwalker and I was petrified he would end up outside. It was surely a pain in the ass for us, but it was better for me to be inconvenienced than something happen to my kid.

Really surprised Riley tapped. I thought she could at least hang with him until he had to leave for the merge. Max really is a strong survivalist. He'd probably be my first choice as a male mentor. Has he done the most challenges or is it Laura? And why, oh why, aren't they wearing them during the extraction hike?

Mass Mutual is running some funny commercials: The kid playing Little League, with mom shouting "You can do it" and the like while Dad shouts "Even if you don't, it's OK." The mother asking the father what would happen if he was out of work for a while and when he asks what could happen, the whole family takes turns yelling out things that could happen - Grandpa yells Scurvy.

Rotator blew that match. He should have just sat back and waited for Tantrum to be counted out. His side man told Victor that Tantrum wasn't moving, but instead he had to keep going in for the hit. That Minotaur/End Game fight was great. I'm not a huge fan of them, but Daniel Freitas is one awesome driver. Again, let's not show the #2 seed from 2020 in a full match. 🙄 Instead, give us this half-assed highlight which didn't even make sense. Did they just wait for Cobalt's battery to die? Shouldn't a working kill switch be a must?

It's already been stated, but Eat n' Park is still around. They just reopened their buffet!!! I don't think alarms were so prevalent back then, especially on smaller mom & pop type places. Plus Bethel Park was a higher class neighborhood.

Loved the shout-out, but as my eldest son says, Eat n' Park is overwhelmingly mediocre. And those Smiley cookies aren't that good, unless you like solid sugar. Of course, my youngest son loved them when he was a kid and he always wanted to go "eat at Park." The police car was good, too. The markings looked exactly as they did in that time period. Kate's job was just to supplement their savings, which they were living on before Toby got the job in SF. Toby had to get a job because they had nearly run through the savings. Kate's part time job as a teaching assistant would never have carried them through. Ooh, maybe that's the end! Randall is really a supervillian! I did enjoy this episode, sorta, even though it was all Saint Randall, all the time. Mandy Moore's acting is what sold it for me. She deserves all the Emmys.
