I've been catching it on Family Net at 230pm EST/1130am PST. On weekends there's a one hour block at 7pm EST/4pm PST. ETA: For some dish carriers, this can be Rural or RFD-TV.

Which bugs me because so many episodes took place in the summertime (a Fourth of July picnic for a reference) and yet I notice how often the fireplace is roaring! I grew up on LI and know how the summers roll - no one would have the fireplace going until October. I saw the clip and I have to say the editors/producers blew it big time!! That scene NEEDED to stay in the episode! Now it has me wondering about I could have done without seeing Dash boinking the slutty Fed if this scene had been left in. It was definitely more relevant. I'm going to speculate that Grandpa Beauchamp is sick and needs the souls or powers of the rest of the family in order to regain his strength and continue his rule. If he weren't ill, he wouldn't have needed to enter this world the way he did right? .

I happened to find the shows in TVG channel by accident and it's about as frothy as I remembered it! Strange coincidence: the day Joan Rivers was announced to be on life support after her endoscopy, the channel was airing one of her appearances... as a cancer survivor and recovering from a mastectomy. I know she wasn't primarily an actress, but she did very well in that episode. Just yesterday, I caught the episode the crew weent to Alaska. I remember the writers were busy tryingto get the crew to start sailing further away from Cabo San Lucas so they ended up on cruises to Europe and Asia, and of course, Alaska. Julie got her heart broken (yet again!) when the man of her dreams married someone else while she was still hemming and hawing if he WAS Mr. Right! She was in such a tizzie she nearly had rebound sex with Ralph Malph!

It's not fair to call McGinley the show killer - Love Boat was already running on fumes by the time he was cast. Shows like this should never have a Season 8, 9 and 10! The Mermaids deserve the title more than he does!

I got to see one of those films - "Night Nurse", with Barbara Stanwick & and VERY young Clark Gable! No mustasche! My dad told me my grandmother had it bad for Gable.. and despite his role in this film, I can see why. Weirder still is the ending, which would never have passed the production code,

True. The WB network also demanded that Christmas not be celebrated that year, so "Charmed" and "Sabrina, The Teenaged Witch" both had their Christmas themed episodes changed. Charmed fans were hoping for a Christmas themed episode and were about to get their wish in the episode, "Paige From The Past" (in which Paige goes back in time thanks to a ghost who helped Charles Dickens do the same and inspired, "A Christmas Carol"). After 9/11, virtually all Christmas references were removed. On the plus side, the sisters were shown to be doing what many Americans did in the time after the tragedy by having flag references (one hanging out of the window of their SUV, another posted to the fridge) and an episode in which the subplot was a WWII themed party. Apparently someone thought we couldn't handle the holidays just because of a tragic event 3 months earlier. I understand that those who lost loved ones that day had it rough and may have chosen to not celebrate, but is it wise to pretend it doesn't exist?

The clip looks good. I'm guessing Korra went to the SWT not only for family support, but perhaps for some additional healing from Katara. Her hair looks shoulder length, so it's not a bob. Here are examples of 20s bob cuts. I'm curious as to why it was trimmed back. Speaking of tonsorial artistry, it seems Jinora is still bald as Aang so her hair hasn't grown back in yet.

http://bryankonietzko.tumblr.com/post/97302394302/korranation-korra-is-heading-to-new-york-comic Somebody has a new 'do! This means there will be a time skip when the show premieres next month. I'm curious as to why Korra (and possibly other members of the Krew) is getting new a new look.

I just knew it was going to happen sooner or later. I'm curious if Dash is going to have to kill the cops if the body ends up being traced back to him. I do hope he doesn't become Archibald 2.0. I prefer he and his brother break their cycle as the Beauchamps hope to break theirs. I agree with an earlier post about this ep having elements normally reserved for season finales. Seeing Eva trying to prolong her life due to a spell makes her a bit of a tragic figure. She devoted her love to a warlock who granted her powers, and all she had to do to remain alive was to get pregnant by another warlock before the previous child died. Seems almost anticlimactic now. It's obvious Freya and Ingrid will be resurrected somehow - unless the show really wants to go into an unusual direction by having Joanna get pregnant again in the season finale and fast forward about 25 years in the premiere. It's be a great way to change the settings and people if they wanted to go there. Regarding the languages of spells; I'm a bit confused by it since they have been read in Latin and Spanish as well as English. I used to think it would be recited in the language of the spell caster, but since we've seen characters who've only spoke English their entire lives recite Latin spells, this could be moot.

I was beginning to wonder... I just caught the latest episode and the stupid still reigns. Darius' daughter makes her super secret phone call... by pulling out her cell, where her father can see her from across the room. It looked like an SNL sketch or something as she didn't do anything to hide herself. Yeah, go hide behind a clear glass panel in full sight of the one person you DON'T want to see you calling. Apparently Daddy Dearest would kill his little girl to be dictator in chief. One of the lottery contestants is freaking out about her virginity (or lack therof). Why? People aren't all that concerned about it now, why should America care more than a decade into the future? Was being a virgin a requirement for the contest? Is that why every contestant is dressed in white all the time? Did the girl really OD on the pills or was she poisoned? How could no one at the center not know what was going on - there are camera everywhere (as been previously established) to watch the women's every move - so wouldn't they have known about the OD without Blondie's panicked cries for help? More bodies are piling up with the son of the fertility expert is gunned down and now James is in ICU. The government just doesn't know when to quit!

Yes. That was one of the many missteps this show took post season 4. Paige was in a great position to help innocents and supply what could have been the source of great B plots. Then the writers decided to have her quit so she could "concentrate on magic". Then the temp jobs followed - which were magically related but still time wasters. Then she's meant to pull double duty as a Charmed One AND a Whitelighter! Like being one or the other wasn't enough to deal with! If the writers had any sense of humor, they would have had a joking reference that Aviva's aunt was a twin sister to Elise. Only the viewers would have known this since only Prue met the aunt in "The Fourth Sister".

Kuvira is Chekov's Metal Bender. She wasn't introduced by name for nothing. She'll be playing a bigger role in the upcoming book, but I don't know if she'll be a villain or not.

I definitely agree on the Fire Nation related guesses. It follows the pattern of which nation gets the focus. Fire Nation is due for the upcoming book. Not only do I expect to see the current Fire Lord, I hope to find out abolut Azula and her father (the latter could have died in prison), find out what happened to the rest of the original Gaang (Suki & Sokka in particular). I'm certain Toph's name dropping towards the end of this season wasn't in vain; perhaps we'll also find out at least one of her daughters' baby daddies during her appearance! Just a spec, but I think Sokka is Su Yin's father and if this comes out, we'll Katara one more time as well. I think we'll see more of Bolin's lava bending and more developments with him and Opal. I think Mako's and Bolin's family from BSS will settle in The Metal City. Su Yin is all about furthering one's potential, and since the rigid class structure of BSS didn't allow for that, they'll take her up on the offer. I don't think so. I think her hair will start growing back in, although I wouldn't be surprised if she shaved the front portion of her head to keep the arrow exposed, like Avatar Yang Chen did. Since the book is called, "Balance", the biggest speculation is what ultimately is balanced throughout the season. Perhaps Korra finally comes into her own as Avatar, the nations are finally balanced for the first time in 200 years, and everyone else finds balance in their individual lives.

That also bugs me! Almost every cop/investigator has a dysfunctional family. There is such a thing as a loving family life. Bluebloods is the only show I've seen in recent years to show a loving, solid, normal family.

This. One of the greatest acts of betrayal is when a family member messes around with the SO, finance or spouse of that relative - especially if that relative is a sibling. Killian was wrong to mess with Dash's lovers and there has been no remorse; Dash is right to be pissed at him; if it had happened to me, it would be unforgivable. I'm curious how they are going to deal with the "star crossed" love issue with Killian and Freya. Maybe he IS the one who will destroy her after all, and not Dash. Otherwise there would have to be a way to "make it work" this time. I'm also curious about Ingrid and Dash. She went down a dark road when her past self was messing around with his grandfather back in 1906. Who's to say that won't be happening again?

In the first season when Jinora and her siblings fought off Ammon's invaders on Avatar Island. Even Lin commented how well Tenzin trained them. Bumi is supposed to have been this great military leader and strategist yet I have no evidence of that in anything he does. He rose to a high rank in the United Forces, but luck can only take you so far. He doesn't even seem to have any military style discipline. Mai didn't look all that ugly! Or is it that there's someone else Zuko may have married in the intervening years?

I've been watching FNC almost from the beginning (way back when I had C-band satellite reception) and the channel I see today barely resembles the one I knew way back when! It's much more boring now and the news stories repeat far too often. I keep seeing the same three stories circulate throughout the day. Even Bill O'Reilly, love him or hate him, has been defanged. His show was much more enjoyable back in the day. Now, the only highlight is the Watter's World segments. ITA! Back in the old days of TV news, the words "Special Report" or "Breaking News" were reserved for HUGE news breaks like political assassinations and the like. These days they drop the "news alert" graphic for stuff that has been discussed all morning and isn't earth shattering as far as info goes. I agree that it was out of line. It's not the first time Shep's mouth was running without putting his brain into gear first.

Brutal is definitely the word! I was worried for Tenzin when he said to Zaheer that as long as he could breathe, it wasn't over. I kept expecting Zaheer to do to him what he did to the Earth Queen - and that would truly sadden me if we lose him. So far, it seems the suspicions about Su Yin were a red herring. I have a hunch Mako's and Bolin's family will end up living with the Metal clan, if anything because they have the possibility to make the most of themselves there, something they didn't have in BSS. Another cameo from Iroh! It's always good to see him.

Considering they're looking at pushing the kids into puberty much sooner than they naturally would, I'm thinking the moms will be pushed into the background once the kids are born, or wait until they're at least 6 or 7 years of age (since natural puberty usually occurs between 11 and 13). I seriously doubt any of the moms would want accelerated puberty on their children.

Schiff will always be my favorite DA! He was very realistic as NY DAs go and knew that a lot of times you had to make the deal or risk losing everything. I didn't mind Branch but he was not Adam Schiff. Couldn't care about Nora. The best part of her introduction was then Mayor Guiliani escorting her into the office and congratulating her. McCoy was completely ill suited to the job. Compared to the crusades he got into since his introduction, there's no way he would have taken the job - there's a lot of butt kissing involved to becoming a DA and McCoy didn't come across as one. Stone will always be my favorite ADA! Like Schiff, he was real; he acted exactly like a NY ADA would be. Of course I love the first season due to it being more rooted in reality and it's gray, gritty look. By default, I also enjoyed Robinette as his fellow ADA. McCoy always bugged me when he would find another cause to get sanctimonious over! Of course by then the writing had changed and the show became a giant soapbox using McCoy as it's primary mouthpiece. I didn't mind Kincaid or Ross. They just did what they could with what was given. When Cutter came along, I took a liking to him, as he worked so well with the group. He had a fresh sparkle that livened things up a bit after nearly 20 years.

TNT aired one of Season 2's highlights, "Pardon My Past". I liked this ep for a number of reasons; A little more info on the sisters' ancestors, the concept of reincarnation, a little time travel and the Roaring 20s make the episode memorable. Naturally, there are some beefs: It makes no sense that Prue & Piper would throw a raucous party while Phoebe is stuck upstairs studying for an exam. While it makes sense for Anton to wait for Phoebe's soul to reincarnate, how could he possibly know to whom it would be reborn to? Not to mention the Batman Gambit in pretending to be Christina Larson, hoping Phoebe would switch life forces with P. Russell. The bartender, Christina's father, left his daughter behind in the house when the fight broke out. No one in the neighborhood seemed to notice a speakeasy was operating in the open. In fact, the boxes of liquor were laying all over the yard and the action is taking place mostly during the day! Most speakeasies were about operating in the evening. No one discussed why magic was practiced openly at the Manor during this time. No mention as to why despite having been descendents of Melinda Warren, two completely different powers were introduced. One could attribute it to another witch family marrying into the Warrens, but it was never made clear since powers were not supposed to be random in their line. That the cousins never had their full names published in the family tree (of course that paper has all sorts of anomalies but that's a big one).

I certainly wouldn't do what Sam did and let it go to waste! I'd never have to worry about cleaning the house, getting whatever I needed (see a cool outfit in an ad and reproduce it for myself), and giving a little just desserts to those in need of it.

No they didn't in the film. It would be funny if it turned out that the mass infertility was being caused by the constant scientific reengineering of foods and other products we use everyday. Then there would be a battle with some Monsanto or Archer Daniels Midland expy. If they choose to go with an infertility virus, then it would likely be some elitists who thought they were worthy of reproducing and were planning on getting those Black Death vaccinations for themselves while the peasants died off.

I was surprised they went there, but I'm glad they did. The censorship seems moot since it didn't air on TV. Could that be why they chose to air the remaining episodes online? It finally looks like they're going somewhere, but I think we could have gotten there sooner. I'm not convinced of the Red Lotus' motives. It doesn't make sense to make the world into non stop chaos. Without a certain amount of order, there is no progress. I'm curious how the Queen's death will affect the entire Earth Kingdom. She had loyal subjects (like Mako's and Bolin's Grandmother) and since there seem to be no apparent heirs (unless they took a powder during the revolution), a big vacuum is coming. I wonder if those who lived in the upper rings of BBS are going to end up like the titled gentry during the French Revolution.

Rosalie becoming a dancer wasn't unexplained. She had left HS to marry a guy who was a mechanic. She got pregnant right away, but all three lived in an apartment over the husband's garage. At some point he abandoned her and the baby (he installed a new muffler, so she couldn't hear him leaving in the middle of the night) and Rosalie had no other well paying options, and went to work at a joint called, The Torso Trap. For the record, Rosalie Totsie was stripping because it paid so very well (about 75 bucks a week in 1978 dollars). Horshack was sweet enough to offer to marry her and make her respectable. Ultimately Gabe talks her out of stripping and that there were more respectable alternatives. Mr. Woodman comes along and tells Rosalie that the school (or a local college) had an opening for her in an office/library position and she'd be able to work and go to college and finish her education. She agreed to take the position and leave the stripping game.
