  1. Pluto.tv (which is free streaming, although with commercials) shows The Dick Van Dyke Show on a continuous loop (at least I think it's continuous... I'm usually tuning in late in the evening). It's in their Classic TV section. I put it on last night and caught "Show of Hands," which is the one where Rob and Laura end up accidentally dyeing their hands black. Then Rob worries how they're going to look when they go to accept an award at the Committee for Interracial Understanding. They both decide to wear gloves. I've seen the episode a ton of times but last night was the first time I thought to myself: wait, how would you get permanent black dye off your hands? If that sitcom situation were to happen to me, I'd have no idea. By the magic of television, the Petries didn't have any trace of black dye on their hands in the next episode.

  2. (Sorry to veer off the topic of Phoebe, but...)

    Under the heading of "I, also, need a hobby," something occurred to me about Joey's role on Days of Our Lives. When Drake came out of the coma, he was given Jessica Lockhart's brain (fortunately, we had Ross the scientist to explain the whole brain transplant thing). So Drake is now Jessica, at least brain-wise. 

    But later, he's back to being just Drake, right? Because that's when Rachel watches him in a romantic scene and gets all hot and bothered. What happened to Jessica-in-Drake?

    I just did that recap from my memory*, so please, if I missed some explanation along the way, feel free to clue me in. 

    (*I told you I need a life.)

  3. I get that James is just playing the villain, and all of the anecdotes about his good deeds are fantastic to hear (plus he constantly gives props to his wife)... but I'm now officially annoyed with his game play. How are the others supposed to feel when he writes "Is there no one else?" It's not cool or funny. 

    i started out excited about this tournament, but now I'm not even giving it my full attention.

  4. The only episode that I'm positive she's in is "Images." Margaret comes down hard on an emotional nurse, and Judy Farrell is one of the nurses who goes to the Swamp to ask Hawk and B.J. to step in. 

    Bit I think you're right. @sATL, that she's in the finale and has a line in the group dinner scene.

  5. REM's "What's the Frequency, Kenneth" during a party scene. And I think it was an Eagles song playing when Marcel was in the hospital (not Manilow, that was when the duck swallowed the ring).

    I'm not sure why the champ bugs, it's probable that he just reminds me of someone.

    He seems like a nice guy, I like the stories he tells, but for me, it's the "Uhhhhhh...." before he chooses a clue. It's like nails on a blackboard and I can't get past it.

    Rose getting her HIV test and the Druid priests. "I don't know why I raised my hand."

    That whole scene is a master class in comedic line delivery and timing. As she's saying the above line, she's shaking her head at herself. Plus: "And you're not gonna believe this..." The whole freakin' story is absurd! Why would that be the part we don't believe? 

    Every time this scene comes on, I have to stop whatever I'm doing and watch it. Bravo, Ms. White.

    In the interview segment, I was hoping Ken would ask Middle Guy what it was like to tour with the Bee Gees. 

    He made a great post on Reddit under the username "thelostbeegee." He seems like a cool guy and I loved the hair.

    Katie was great too, and that was a well-earned win.

    I remember visiting a friend on the set of a soap years ago and as we were standing there quietly watching a scene being filmed, we were all swaying without even realizing it.  My friend had to tell us to stop because it could be distracting if the actors in the scene saw us in their peripheral vision.  So I always wonder if Ray even knows he's doing it in the moment.

    Ray's swaying is due to an issue with his spinal cord.

    I thought another poster had already brought that up, but maybe I saw it on Reddit or somewhere.

    What do we know about Millie and Jerry's house?  IIRC from the "rock in the basement" episode, it is very much like Laura & Rob's house (presumably the same size).  Jerry's dental office is in the house, and I wonder where. M&J have two kids (boy & girl?) so if their house has 3 bedrooms like L&R's, they use them all.  (One of L&R's bedrooms is a study and guest room.) Maybe M&J walled off part of the living room to be the dental office?

    Supposedly, the houses are identical (according to that episode you referenced, the rock episode). We see their living room in the "eavesdropping" ep where Millie and Jerry host a party. (With the charade game that builds to "On the Street Where You Live!") I think it looks like a full living room. 

    Maybe they had an addition built onto the house for the dental office.
