Saw two sisters, Diane and Michelle, trying on dresses together. That younger one, Michelle, was horrible. Jesus. Is she your sister or is she someone who must be crushed and demoralized so everyone thinks you look prettier in your gown? Then Michelle basically threw a tantrum because she wasn't the special snowflake anymore when Diane made her pick. Michelle tried to spin it that this was Diane's special day and Michelle would get hers later which essentially MAKES THE DAY ALL ABOUT MICHELLE and how Michelle didn't get a gown. PLUS, Michelle now gets an additional day when everyone has to show up and ooh and ahh over her. She's a thug with a nice smile. Good luck to her husband. Hope his self-esteem can survive her emotional abuse.

The yet-another-season with cops who won't listen annoys me. I don't care if they find out Gloria was right. I don't even care who lives or dies. The only mystery I'd like solved is the identity of the man being interrogated in the first episode. Follow the money = more Hamish Linklater, please! We've spent all season looking at bad teeth, vomiting, used feminine hygiene products, pornstache, hillbilly hair and bad perm. We've earned a treat.

S is for Sharknado, which Rose mistakes as a documentary. Panicked, she cashes in her Christmas Club fund for the down payment on a floating shark cage. Only 18 more eaz-ee payments and it's all hers!

Part 3 is up. Thank you for finding the blog!

Q is for the Q Continuum from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Captain Picard saw an episode of Miami Vice and programmed it into the holodeck where he pretended to be Sonny Crockett. Q sends Picard back to the mid-80's where his life is endangered as a real vice cop and he befriends Rose, the ultimate Miami Vice fan.

O: Rose wins a contest to Orbit earth and bonds with extraterrestrial life forms in the sci-fi thriller, "Cheescake Tastes Better than People...or Does It??"

K: in a cross-over episode with Gunsmoke, the girls find themselves at Miss Kitty's saloon where Marshal Dillon mistakes them for harlots and throws them in jail. (Why were they in Dodge City, KS? They were trying to find Minnesota, but, well, Rose.)

The deaf girlfriend was the gold digger. I find myself half-watching these days. I saw Raj with his exes but I had no idea what the rest of the episode was about. Have they already sent the baby to Chuck Cunningham's room?

F is for encountering a Flying Saucer. They'd call the military and hope to meet an officer interested in their marital statuses because he wanted to date them not because he'd already checked a box on a form.

LOL. I'd forgotten she was on the show. Blanche trying to figure out Debbie's age (paraphrasing): How old were you when your husband died? Debbie: About as old as you. Blanche: <tsking> To lose a husband that young

D: they would Dispense justice the old-fashioned way with a rope...and a tree from props.

Quite a pivot from 24 hours ago. HGTV has been airing holiday promos knowing T&C have been separated for 6 months and are currently seeing other people? I'm so glad I already knew HGTV lied about their shows. While the dissolution of a family isn't funny, the way HGTV handles itself is.

I don't watch very often these days (those idiotic surprises got to be too much), but I liked how the show wasn't about assholes who seemed to hate each other. That "unfortunate misunderstanding" in May sounds terrifying.

And here comes the obvious next step in brand extension: PW The Magazine. Test issue coming to a Walmart near you June 2017.

(Sorry, I clicked the box under the episode title but I think I did something wrong.) The episode? We get it: teenage boys have big appetites. Lily starving wasn't funny the first time, and still isn't funny tonight. Nothing else really caught my attention.

Phil is thrilled when he's asked to appear in a real-estate story on a local newscast, and he's even more excited to meet his favorite weatherman, but he may come to regret introducing him to Haley. Meanwhile, Lily tires of her parents' houseguest; and Jay injects some of his personality into Manny's video interview for a college application.

That episode has one of my favorite scenes...Blanche looooooves a tight man. Oh, Rose, when did you get in? Tight? Blanche loooooves a tight man. I have to ask if you saw the unedited version? The edited version doesn't explain that he'd become cheap because he'd gone to his doctor and found out he probably was going to outlive his savings. (His dr. told him he'd live to 100, but Miles was only budgeted to live until 80...or something along those lines. I haven't seen the unedited version in 20 years.) That info helps explain the cheapness as well as Rose offering to pay and the dialogue about total honesty. It's one of the worst edits in the series, imo. If you just don't like Miles, that's fine of course. :-)

The writers and cast were so wonderful with folding Col. Potter, BJ and Charles into the storylines. I think many shows would've brought in the same personalities to continue the dynamics, and MASH brought in entirely new ones. For example, I liked Frank leaving. He was a bad man and a poor surgeon, and I hated thinking he was causing people to die or have less-than-best outcomes. Charles was obnoxious, but he was an excellent surgeon with insight and moments of genuine personal growth. There was still conflict, but class warfare was better than skill warfare.

Did we ever find out why Meri was excluded from the list of wives when Robyn had Kody's latest child? One publication went so far as to say Kody had 3 wives and was divorced from his first wife, Meri. Is she in or out? (Please let her be out of this plyg relationship even if she is living in her house.)

Terrible episode, I thought. I don't like Lily or Fizbo, so all of that could've gone away. Swimming in a flooded pool during a lightning storm was writers' idiocy. Claire could've been more mature about Manny's robe opening. She's a mom and has seen it (as well as "it") before. Manny would've been embarrassed regardless, but she made it seem shameful and compounded the situation. Don't care that Luke is dumb (but maybe he's not?). Don't care about Alex being smart or being a nerd or being pretty or not pretty or fitting in. Just don't care. Joe's what's-his-name-manny-slash-Phil's-trainee is tedious and not funny and not a good actor, and I want him to stop talking and being passive aggressive and go away. He and Hayley can get married and go live somewhere young couples just starting out can afford to live. /rant over. it's a tv show. I just hate seeing it be so stupid.

I liked the Pasadena Mom and daughter even if the daughter was one of those uptalkers? Who end every sentence as if it's a question? With the last sound of the last word drawn out foreverrrrr? I thought they were really respectful of each other, but I had to turn the channel when Kelly Bundy, interior designer, appeared. Two-tone blonde hair, candy apple red lipstick. I hated not seeing the finished house, but she was one irritant too many.

A Blanche favorite, Magic Mike. Which reminds her...she has to give Charlie Melbourne a call.

Central Midwest here: No Mom cursing in public (wouldn't be polite), but piss her off at home and she'd make a Marine sound like Mary Poppins. I watched the first two Thanksgiving episodes on Hulu today. Bev yells, "Happy BLEEEEEPing Thanksgiving" in each. I thought maybe they had video of the real Bev yelling it, but no such luck.

Happy FUCKING Thanksgiving, everyone!

Bobby's turkey looked incredible and I liked seeing how he carved it, but the repartee between them turned me off. At times they were blowing more smoke up each other's asses than the turkey's, and at other times they were passively aggressively arguing over which of them knew more about cooking. I didn't care for the menu so much, but that's just me, of course. I prefer to have the traditional dishes and compliment those with more unique sides I want to try like the shredded Brussels sprouts and vinegar. Happy Thanksgiving, hope there's something here you'd Ike to eat! And what pronunciation of "gratin" were they using? Even in French gratin sounds close to "graw-tin." Struck me as pretentious rather than educated. And thank God Bobby was there to correct Ina that you could definitely taste the cream even though she seemed to like that the cream didn't overwhelm the dish. Please show again me how to use $3 in canola oil to deep fry 4 sage leaves for 30 seconds. (But not too many sage leaves because they're one of the most aromatic herbs out there, you know, Ina. But don't forget oregano, Bobby. We're not using oregano in this dish but it's also very aromatic.) Honest question: if you were presented a dish with whole leaves on top, would you eat the leaves? I would think they were there to add color to an otherwise brown potato dish. If they were meant to add to the flavor, the herb should've been baked into it, I would think.
