Mom with bratty kids v. Mom who pinches bratty kids. First of all, Pinching Mom had no right to pinch, grab, etc. the bratty kids. Second, I believe she had every right as an adult woman to tell the brat to close her legs and sit properly. ( BTW, I think brat's mom should get her an IUD if she doesn't want to be a grandma who works 2 jobs to take care of brat and brat babies.) Third, Brat Mom's excuse of "Don't single out my brat because her behavior is no worse than the rest of the class" is wrong, wrong, WRONG! Brat Mom should be appalled that her brat behaves like the other morons in that class and cooperate with the teachers to get her brat to stop behaving like that.

I'm happy Cookie got recognition for her work. BUT, I don't like that psycho look Lucious gave while telling her "I got your back" -----I think he meant "I got your back to stab, B----!" I agree with the comment that Cookie's snarks about Lucious' women don't seem like she's jealous or longing for him. I've no doubt she loves him on some level, but I think she's moved on. Annika's babemergency: I was like "okay, what's wrong with her/the baby?" they never did address that, so the whole thing comes off as sloppy editing. Andre and Granny Walker: If Andre went to Philly to bring Granny back into the family, that's one thing. If he went to Philly to bring Granny back to exhibit her as Bad crap Lucious has done in his life # 42, that's something else. I don't want Granny used/exploited like that. I want Granny to get therapy and get integrated into the family. Yeah, I'd like it if she was like MawMaw on Raising Hope, not completely comic relief but there to provide a bit lightness in the same way Porsha does, but have much longer periods of lucidity than Maw Maw so she can smack the crap out of Lucious from time to time. And Andre, are you so stupid that you can't figure out Lucious will never let you be the head of Empire?? Jamal and Michael: At first I rooted for Michael, but now I can't stand him. Jamal needs to move on and leave him in the dust where he belongs. Jamal's retro songs. The blues song. It had that old-timey blues sound reminiscent of Howlin' Wolf, Big Mama Thornton and Lightin' Hopkins. I absolutely love that music, so that's really the first Jamal song I actually like. The funk song (can't say it's go-go but it sorta had go-go qualities): loved it too! Hakeem's Modern Family.......Okay, it's treading into Maury and Jerry territory, so I'm not liking it so much. :-(

Uh-oh....I can see some misguided pregnant or soon to be pregnant woman thinking "Hey, I'll name my child that---Surn'Og O'ak. Gotta write that down before I forget!"

My goal for May will be to drop that phrase "upside the cabbage" into a conversation.

Maybe he kept her a secret to protect her when he was selling drugs for Frank Gathers? Then when he got older, got into music, met Cookie, he kept her a secret out of shame. (I believe Lucious when he said he was ashamed of his mother's mental illness.)

I did not expect Granny Walker to be alive. Do we know the sex of Baby Boo Boo Kitty?

Yesterday's cases were scary: blood everywhere after getting kicked in the privacy (yeah, Coolwhip, you hear correctly), the car case where the guy denied he was even there, and Shacoya. No disrespect to her, but LaTonia's boyfriend must be insane to mouth off to her. Shacoya oozes "I don't play like that." from every pore of her being.

Not only did that mailbox jump into the middle of the road, it also opened its lid at him and flipped up its flag........it was asking for it!

I got the impression from Darius' testimony that the mailbox strolled into the middle of the road and that's why he hit it. Anyhow, I lived in a corner house a few years. Some people would take the turn so close to the curb, it surprised me that they never hit the mailbox with their side view mirror. That mailbox is how I met Mr. Milz. He witnessed a teenager doing a hit-and-run on the box (backed into it during a 3 point turn).

I saw a bit of Child's Play this morning. One of the contestants looked incredibly familiar. So sort of looked like Sabrina Le Beauf who played the eldest daughter on The Cosby Show. Then Bill Collins called her "Anne Marie". She is Anne Marie Johnson who was Mrs. Tibbs on In The Heat of The Night starring Carroll O'Connor!

I expect this in the credits of that episode Special Guest Star: The Broom

Best scene for me was the family's reaction to Hakeem's new logo, his super-cheesetastic pose, AND the fact that was the logo used in the opening credits! I'm sad that they killed Camilla because she would have made a good recurring antagonist through the series. But this is a soap, so anything can happen. Who pushed Rhonda? speculation-------Initially I thought it was Anika. But I've changed my mind. I think it was L-U-C-I-O-U-S. He 'knows' Bipolar disorder is hereditary. His mom had it. Andre has it. So in Lucious' mind, the baby has a 50-50 chance of having it too. Also, he's not too fond of Rhonda. So her death would free Andre to marry someone more to Lucious' liking (because Lucious is a control-freak and wants to micromanage his Empire and his sons.) Loved Cookie's hair and fashions.

I don't know if CP watches the show, but our stuff here is definitely read.

Oooh, Creative Writing 101 at the JJ School of TV Law! Maybe we should start a new thread (cuz' we all know Curious Parker just LOVES to read our snarkiest stuff during b-or-i-n-g dates and meetings.)

RIP Patty Duke. :-( I've been watching The Patty Duke Show, ever since MeTV started showing it. (I miss Petticoat Junction in that time slot, but still)

You will HAVE to tell us when his episode airs so we can all watch and take notes. Note to self: buy popcorn.

I was waiting for JJ to say "He's transgendered! II presume he transitioned from male to female. So what does he need the Y-fronts, 3 piece business suit, Harris tweed trousers, button down dress shirts for? He's not going to wear Y-fronts now and the other clothing you wrote in your complaint is he? Hey! Madame. Is your brotha gonna t' wear Y-fronts now that he's transitioned to a female? Case dismissed!"

I wondered if the plaintiff was also transgendered----she had that angular male look about her.

Even Cool Cats like us? =8-D

I remember that she brought in one of her new pups because I think JJ wanted to show it off or JJ has some major separation anxiety problem! Either way it was cute. I don't choose cats: they choose me. All of the cats in my life were strays who thought I would make a good human pet. Mr. Milz is the same way with cats choosing him.

JJ used the word "evil" to describe that piece of inhumane sh1t. One of the repeat episodes last night was the the guy who looked like Mr. Toad suing his ex girlfriend for destruction of property while he was in jail for domestically abusing her. Mr. Toad brought his current girlfriend. Defendant brought Mr. Toad's other girlfriend. Memorable part of this episode was that JJ mused how it always puzzled her that a nerdy guy who doesn't look like he has much to offer anyone is able to have a bunch of women fighting over him.

If she wasn't from Maryland, I would say "That chick should have just had her trial in Maryland". BUT since I'm a Marylander, I know that in some jurisdictions you need to hire a lawyer for small claims. So she probably figured she'd get a nice vacation and some money by going on JJ. .

That's the one! She looked HUGE compared to her ex too. During her meltdown, the ex just stands there with a business-as-usual expression. If she paid child support, she would have won the case. But JJ doesn't like deadbeat mom or dads. I remember that speculation. Also memorable, because she used the door at JJ's left. IIRC, someone used or tried to use the door at JJ's right.

They had a good repeat episode last night. CURLMD parked in the driveway of her friend's former house then went to work or shopping or something. Anyhow she parked.. New homeowners parked in their driveway behind her. CURLMD returns and sees her precious car blocked in by mean, nasty homeowners, who had the chutzpah to actually park in their own driveway!!!!! She eats an entire bag of chips while waiting for mean, nasty homeowners to return. Fretting that the homeowners might not be back for weeks, she gets an idea. *insert light bulb here* She peers into the windows of the house, tries the doors and finds the back door is unlocked. She enters the home and sees the car keys of the offending car on the table. She takes the keys, moves the offending car, then returns the keys. Before she leaves, she locks the front door. Then she locks the back door because Heaven Forbid a real burglar comes along after she leaves and really ransacks the home. Puzzled homeowners return and calls the cops. Cops have to crowbar the front door open because they could not be unlocked (I presume the bitch put a chair or something under the doorknob to prevent anyone from entering.) The case goes cold for a year. Though I'm not sure why because the male homeowner tells JJ that the defendants car had vanity plates that read CURLMD (she's a hair stylist who specializes in curly hair), surely they could have run those plates at the MVA. Anyhow, one day, CURLMD is in a shop across the street from the house. She chitchats with and brags what she did a year ago to a store employee who just happens to be the sister of female homeowner! Sis tells her sister, who calls the cops. Cops tell homeowner that the DA probably won't prosecute CURLMD, not because she's fabulous but because DA is too busy with other criminals in the burg. CURLMD's defense is that she was doing the careless, heartless, cruelly mean and nasty homeowners a favor: she locked their unsecured house after she entered it unlawfully, doncha know. The entire case CURLMD has smirky smirky on her spray on tan face, which JJ slaps off. The second case was big hair (mebbe a wig?) Ms. Richard suing her ex for some money he borrowed. They have a son, who lives with the father because "the Court says I can't teach him how to be a man". ??? Anyhow, he needed rent money. She doesn't pay child support to him. Blah Blah. The memorable part of this case is she gets upset because JJ is telling her to forget about the money because her son lives in the apartment with his dad and he (the son) needed the rent money too, not to mention she doesn't pay child support because ex never asked for it. She storms out through the side door and SLAMS it, much to Byrd's satisfaction because a big monster is probably chained up behind those doors and will probably tear her ass up into teeny, weeny pieces.

For your listening enjoyment, because I can totally see these people on JJ.
