You have nothing to feel guilty about!! Your loved ones are first priority and you want to make sure they stay healthy!

So was it an aortic aneurism or a gunshot that killed him? Strange.

Used to watch that show with Dad. I liked that the reenactments were set up like a cop drama (the ridiculous speed editing I see in most reenactments of current shows is distracting and drives me up a wall!) and if you were switching channels, you might have thought you landed on one! I remember so many real life stories which very compelling! The NH cop, who saved a teen girl from committing suicide on a bridge (she actually accompanied him for the epilogue and we got to see her face, but subsequent reruns were blurred), the Sonny Grosso story (real life French Connection cop who also created the show) reenacting an amusing story set in Harlem in 1963 trying to bust a local dealer, the pregnant detective who made a dangerous bust, a pair of female cop partners who referred to themselves as the real life Cagney & Lacey, and Arco, the K9 who helped save his handler's life. A couple of now well known actors even got their start on the show!

Expecting a shoe to drop?

RATS!! So sad to hear about George Newall!! I watched every Schoolhouse Rock every Saturday morning and every now and then, it helped me pass a test. To this day all those songs still roll around my head. Indeed!

I am fully convinced no one want to make anything better. Either that or I am cursed to be an office Cassandra - I give the world what it needs to hear only to be ignored. Case in point: Producers. For years, producers and APs would stack the show (add stories) and it was their responsibility to order the video and place the supers (times when to add names of people in the story) into the scripts. For some reason, this has changed and whenever a script is entered (along with a source), they haven't been putting supers into it until later. If you have time to paste a script into the body of a story, you have time to add the supers for it. That way, When we edit it, we can put in the times for those supers. Now, we're editing the video but there are no supers. We send the video but we get a message later about putting super times in. When our supervisor asked how this can be fixed, I told him thus: Me: "We used to have producers put supers in at the same time as scripts. If they went back to doing this, there will be no issues". Him: "Maybe you could just find a way to mark it or wait to send it until they add it or keep checking back to see if supers were added". Me: GRRRR!

Celebrity trainer Eric Fleishman died suddenly at age 53. It was on Thanksgiving no less! Another link: https://www.tmz.com/2022/11/28/eric-the-trainer-fleishman-died-celebrity-trainer/

It seems to be a ripoff of the "house" series from PBS. There was 1900 House, Regency House, 1940s House, and Frontier House. Those are great studies in living in another time period (1900 House in particular since despite the lovely fashions and Late Victorian/Early Edwardian touches, it was a big adjustment to live as our great grandparents had). 70s House seems to be a cakewalk in comparison, as someone who was just a child at the time but remembers it fairly well. At worst you had to find info in a book and unless you had cable, you only had a handful of channels.

Imagine my surprise when I found out this morning that he was a drama teacher at my alma mater!!! Had no clue!!

The closest we got was a promo on USA between seasons.

I kind of saw it coming when I saw the man smile (like he'd found his nerve) and just casually dropped out.

He did although he also had NY connections. He attended Julliard way back when and was probably doing stage work at the time of the attacks.

Because a teenage boy getting busy with his teacher is considered heroic and cool while a girl is a victim of statutory rape and whose parents would have the scumbag arrested on said charges. My father used to to joke that when he was a boy, all of his teacher were "old biddies" and not the sexy young things that came along in the 70s and later. He used to say that HS would have been less of a drag if they had been! FTR- I think such teachers are predators and have no business having sexual encounters with underage students (or current students under their authority). Both male and female teachers should be sent off to jail in the name of equality under the law.

Sorry. These actresses are looking too much alike for me to care.

Yeah and Stella was the one who talks him out of his psychotic attitude by telling him how he's not the first one to lose a loved one! Yeesh! We didn't need that subplot at all! The only time it might have worked was if it were a stalker ex bf or husband.

Meta employee. She's probably curled up in a ball right now. https://media.gab.com/system/media_attachments/files/119/840/011/playable/cbb5ccafd4d58207.mp4

It also pissed me off when she returned as a ghost. When Ned asked how it was in the after life, she mentioned it was cold and lonely. I hated they did that to a loving a devout woman! Why couldn't it have been a better experience for her except to make a cheap joke at her expense?

Sounds like Bitcheroo. The previous GM was always hanging around her like a dog who sensed a bitch in heat. Even other co-workers thought it was odd he was hanging around the newsroom as often as he was.

As a former NY'er with friends and family that worked for and dealt with employees of the City of NY, trust me when I say these bureaucrats are the most petty people on the planet and would have no second thoughts in putting their grudges above their duty. I'm sick of seeing [writers] trying to pair partners together romantically when it's not always a good idea (for a host of reasons). I still hated that Eddie and Jaime got together when her character was all wrong for him. If anything, I thought that psychic that helped Danny solve a couple of cases would have been a good fit for him. I also liked the nurse who was a cop's widow (the inverse of Danny and Linda) who was being stalked by her ex bf. Then again, some guys feel like they wouldn't do well in a relationship again. Danny and Linda had a great relationship - they talked things out and Linda went onto the marriage knowing she was marrying a cop from a cop family. They always made it a point to say I love you ("I love you more!") before parting for the day. Not a lot of women would be willing to make compromises.

There's understandable reason for that. First, Julia Child was not amused by Julie's use of profanity throughout her blog. Secondly, Julie claimed some recipes were hard to do. Julia responded by saying [to paraphrase] that she had worked every single recipe [in that book] at least 12 times in her own kitchen to make sure of consistency and that even the kitchen novice could make these sumptuous dishes. She was insulted to have someone claim it was hard. I'll always enjoy the film, Julie & Julia, but based on what I've read about the real Julie, I'm not impressed.

My parents were children of the 50s so JLL was definitely a part of my listening experience as much as it was theirs! That man put a lot into those 87 years! All those controversies like marrying his cousin Myra, his son Steve Allen Lewis drowning, one of his other wives also drowning. I hope he can RIP now.

Eh. Most of the upper echelon executives made millions if not tens of millions. I think they'll be fine. The little guys might not lose their jobs (I've heard burnout is a very real thing with them). Meanwhile, work today has been a load of last minute stuff! We're covering the funeral of a cop who was killed in the line of duty and his funeral is today. That means live coverage of the procession (including the Strip) and interviews with various participants who will be part of the funeral duty; many are from out of town. One guy we interviewed was from the Apache (reservation) PD in AZ. It's a very stressful time in many ways.

Same! Every time I deal with idiots I can't help but think of that classic tune in my head.... We're just a couple of misfits....I'm not just a nitwit... Local radio DJs even used a clip from that song. Always made me smile!!

The Walking Dead.

Don't know if you've been watching the sequel series, Cobra Kai, but the actress who plays Ali's mom returned to reprise her role! Same house too! I'm not too harsh on her parents. Ali had big plans and her parents naturally wanted the best for her. They presumably adored Johnny Lawrence (her ex) and thought she had no legit reason to dump him. Naturally, they'd scoff at a boy they didn't even know.
