  1. Sometimes I watch the hour of Johnny Carson that antennatv airs at 10 pm ET. One night Falk did a surprise visit to Johnny since he was filming Columbo at a studio next door. He was in full Colombo garb, including the raincoat. I think they talked about the raincoat but I don't remember what was said.
  2. This isn't about any particular commercial. I turned to a channel to watch the last 15 minutes of a show, and was greeted with 5, count 'em 5 minutes of commercials before it got to the show. Geesh.
  3. The Costa Rica woman was a flake. I'm sure holistic medicine has a place, but what credentials did she have? Far as I could tell, none.
  4. I sincerely doubt the people who own these homes will be doing their own cleaning. I haven't cleaned a bathroom in over 30 years.
  5. I'm no baker, but both pastry flour and almond flour are available on Amazon. I think I've seen pastry flour in my grocery store.
  6. Oh yes, the woman who believed you needed screens to prevent children from falling out windows. What a crock. Let's not forget turtle lady. She took her turtle with her everywhere. Any house she picked had to be turtle approved! 🤣
  7. We had lunch at a small cafe today. They offer specials Friday-Monday, and Tuesday-Thursday. Today's specials included shrimp corn chowder, so we went by and had some. It was really good.
  8. I pay $130/every 2 weeks to clean the downstairs of our house, about 1,400 sq. feet. We don't clean the upstairs as it doesn't get used except for the rare occasion we have overnight guests.
  9. TNOT Fugitives: Never underestimate the power of alliteration. We have Diamond Dave Desmond, Hallelujah Harry, and Rhoda Ransome. I'd forgotten that Diamond Dave was played by veteran tough guy Simon Oakland. The visible wire holding Conrad was seen when West zip lines out of the hotel window, not the clock tower.
  10. My husband got FJ quickly. I didn't, and I saw the Rosetta Stone at the British Museum. In my defense, I wasn't feeling well that day. Yeah, that's the ticket. 😄
  11. I had a colleague who was an avid biker. She and her partner took a month-long vacation biking around the Netherlands.
  12. Last night I took the easy way out and got a rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes, and steamed some broccoli. Tonight, I took the leftover chicken and broccoli and made a chicken noodle casserole.
  13. On Saturday March 23 at 10 am ET MeTV will be airing "The Night of the Fugitives", Season 4 Episode 7, original air date November 8, 1968. The above recap is from tvtropes The Night of the Fugitives This episode is the great fall where Conrad loses his grip swinging from a chandelier and falls 15 feet onto a concrete floor. Filming was stopped, and this episode was finished months later when Conrad recovered. This episode was supposed to be part of Season 3, but was delayed because of the fall. The film of Conrad hitting the floor was left in. Again, the set of Dodge City from Gunsmoke was used, this time for the town of Epitaph. Wires were often used to aid moving Conrad around when he was using his zip line. IMDb says you can see the wire, attached to Conrad's belt in the back, as West and Plank are lowered to the ground from the clock tower.
  14. I spoil myself every day. I didn't get FJ. I was watching Rick Steves in Dublin before J! aired, and he was talking about Joyce and Ulysses. That was spooky weird. I was holding my breath that they took so long to recognize the theme song to The Lone Ranger. Made me feel old.
  15. Larissa was on fire! That was fun to watch.
  16. I noticed last night that Great American Country is airing Columbo this morning, starting at 6 am for a few hours.
  17. Hallmark Movies and Mysteries is now Hallmark Mysteries. They dropped the sappy movies and put them in the regular Hallmark channel. I watch Monk on Hallmark Mysteries from 9 am-12 noon ET most weekdays. That is now followed by Murder, She Wrote. I can't remember what it used to be after Monk. I think there may be other channels that air Columbo besides Cozi and Hallmark Mysteries. I'll keep an eye out.
  18. @Bastet I have a bag of the Bertolli chicken florentine in my freezer now. In the past I've added more chicken and veggies. I call it an emergency meal and don't eat it often.
  19. The Allstate Larry Bird commercial makes me laugh because I remember my husband telling me that he fell through the ceiling of his ranch house trying to fix something. He says his young daughter who was in the living room looked at him and said - Daddy, why did you do that? 🤣
  20. When I went to The Fresh Market yesterday (Mondays are BOGO on their fish cakes - we like their salmon cakes) I picked up Hungarian Mushroom Soup. I'd bought it before, and for some reason didn't think it was as good as the soup we get at a favorite restaurant, but I had it for lunch today and it was really good. I'm glad I tried it again.
  21. I finally saw the ad for "Dude Wipes" with all these men dropping their drawers. If that isn't head scratching enough, the whole concept of "Dudes" needing a special product also leaves me wondering - why? At first, I thought it was toilet paper made for men (again why?), but then found out they are moistened towelettes. I don't see how that is different than the same products that, for example, Cottonelle makes. During the great toilet paper shortage of 4 years ago, I looked into them as an alternative to tp. They say they are flushable, but I'm skeptical. We are on a septic system and are not to flush anything but toilet paper and waste. The ad does not shed any light on why this product, aimed at men, exists.
  22. If they give the first and last name of the "real estate agent", it's easy enough to find them. Sometimes on HHI they give first and last name of the hunters, so you usually can also find them.
  23. If you go to the IMDb page for a show, they tell you where you can watch it. Looks like the 1st 2 seasons are available on a variety of sites. Where to watch Night Court
  24. Thanks, but I don't have Max and don't want to sign up just to watch this show.
