It takes a while to click into it's groove. It starts as just a basic "fish out of water" show - but the sweetness and humor comes as the family starts to connect with each other and the town. I think that's what people respond to, there was never a "very special episode" where someone learns to accept the pansexual David. The town just did, no question. I think the inclusivity of it at this time really pushed it forward. Plus it really is very funny! No show is for everyone though, and that's okay too!

I guess Schitt's Creek is "simply the best"!!

Oh thank God!! There's gonna be some partying tonight!

That's "Ronnie" from the city council and Jazzagals - I don't know the actress's name though.

No Ho Hank! Oh how I miss him!

I never met a Charlie Kaufman movie I didn't like. And this may be my new favorite! (Sorry, Adaptation!) Although I have to say I can't think of a single person in my life I could recommend it to, and if you hated it... well, I can't argue with you! It's more than two hours and most of it takes place in a dark car. And it's confusing. But I heard someone say that if you're going to watch a Charlie Kaufman movie just once, don't bother watching it at all! And I think that's true, you get so much on repeated viewings . But if you feel like a movie should be able to be completely enjoyed on one viewing... well, I can't argue with you! But I've watched it four times and get more out of it each time. To me, it's primarily about the desire to be seen and validated. But there's also a lot about how media shapes our personality. How nothing is original (even when Lucy/Louisa/Yvonne/Lucia/Amy says nothing is original, she does it with a quote from Oscar Wilde). It's a lot to take in, and it is long - but I really enjoyed it!

I grew up in a small MT town, so I know exactly what you mean! My mail peeve lately is all the mail I get offering to buy my house. I especially hate the ones that look like personal letters. "My client, Jeff, thinks your house is just the right size and would love your garden!" Creepy!

I didn't mind the Godfather when I first saw it. Never needed to see it again though. Always thought Wizard of Oz was okay but kind of boring. But Grease? Oh, yeah. In my version of hell, Grease and Footloose are playing on an endless loop. Man, I hate them! I could probably add "Dirty Dancing" to that endless loop as well, but I've never made it more than a little way into it, so I can't in fairness say I hate it. But from what I've seen, I'm pretty sure I would.

I don't know about that... after all, if I remember correctly, she did open Easy Monica's Bakery!

Sounds like a corona virus dream to me! Jump ropes and board games - a Goonies-esque adventure - wanting your friend to stay. Sounds like a desire to get back to when life was simple and friends were near. Or maybe it's not the virus, but just something going on in your life now that makes you want to go back to a time when life was full of games and adventure. Maybe wanting to return to that and knowing you can't is why it felt sad and poignant.

All my sympathy! I had one in my basement and I could hear it plain as day! I thought I'd lose my mind. I had some of those sticky mouse traps and found that those catch spiders and crickets pretty well. Also grossed out by how many spiders I had in my basement! Work peeve - people who set up meetings and come unprepared. So you just sit there watching them do the work they should have done before starting the call. I have better things to do.

What great actors and professionals they were! You never saw how much they hated each other. Yeah, they fought as Ethel and Fred, but there were also times where they were sweet to each other, or plotting together, and in those times they really portrayed a couple who loved each other. I'm especially impressed with Vivian Vance, because I've read how hard it was for her. Yet she never let it show.

Ohh, if it's the one with Barbara Sharma (a waitress Mary gets fired and hires as an assistant) I love that one! Barbara Sharma is so great. I also loved her hair. I still love her hair.

Ha, that reminds me of what is probably my favorite movie going experience - I saw Jaws in a packed theater. Remember the scene where the face pops up in the bottom of the boat? The girl behind me screamed, leapt forward, and grabbed my head with both hands! I was about to gasp, but instead burst into laughter! I don't think she even realized she did it!

Back in the days of going into the office, there was a woman with what I think you might call a gravelly voice. It always seemed like she needed to clear her throat. She was so loud, she drove everyone crazy - but honestly, listening to her conversations cracked me up! She is 70, has a roommate, owns several rental properties in Florida, yet for some reason is still working a 9-5 job (insurance?). She was always on the phone ripping into plumbers and contractors working on her properties. Man, I wish I had her confidence to just call these people and say "THIS is what you're going to do, and THIS is when you'll be done." I don't mind loud talking, or even chewing, as much as I mind the sound of typing on a keyboard. For some reason my typing doesn't bother me, but hearing someone else type makes me irrationally angry ("How DARE they do their job!") Working at home is niiiiice...

I'm pasty, but that's due to sun screen, not lack of sun - so I don't think that counts. My (somewhat nerdy) friends would not be surprised to learn that I come in at a big fat zero on this quiz!

Hmm... I guess it's my unpopular opinion that Breaking Bad isn't memorable. I watched it just last year, and I don't remember anything you all are posting about!

Michael Stuhlbarg in the Coen Brothers movie, A Serious Man. I'm a fan of the Coen Brothers and A Serious Man is one I watch over and over (maybe I should take the advice given in the movie "Accept the mystery" - but I keep trying to figure out what every little thing means!) Michael Stuhlbarg is brilliant in it. He conveys so much with slight changes in the way he purses his lips, widening his eyes just a bit, a little raise of his eyebrows. It's just a great performance. Simon Helberg and Fred Melamed are also great in very small roles.

Oh, I feel your pain. So frustrating! My peeve tonight is when I taste a hot pepper and think "Oh, that's not so hot" - put it all in the casserole and make what could be a terrific dinner much too spicy. Well, at least my sinuses are clear!

So many good answers! As I reached for another beer, I decided I'll go with (early seasons) Cheers. I would hang with Norm, be amused by Diane, flirt with Sam, and... probably end up with Cliff.

That drove me nuts! I think other shows have done that, too. Last on the list gets bumped to #1 when there's a cancellation? Um, no.

Clever thief who speaks a language no one else knows. Mysterious...

I've watched Coherence several times in the last two weeks. It's about friends at a dinner party as a comet passes over causing... well, I won't spoil it. There's a lot to take in, so it keeps me engaged even after watching it a few times. Trying to figure out all that happened gives me something unimportant to think about, which is nice. It's also nice to watch a dinner party, since I can't actually go to a dinner party!

Matthew Perry doing serious voice was sooooo cringe-y!

There's also my favorite: Friends with Money. Man, I LOVE Friends with Money! Frances McDormand, Catherine Keener, and Joan Cusak are also in it (glorious cast!). I don't recognize Jennifer Aniston in the role any more or less than I recognize Catherine Keener, Joan Cusak or even France McDormand in their roles.
