  1. I also never read Goodnight Moon to my son who was born in 1972.  In fact, never heard of it till a few years ago.  Read him alot of other stories though.  Especially liked "The Littlest Angel" which made me cry everytime I read it to him.  Able to find a beautifully illustrated copy of this that I gave to my grandson when he was born.

    People may have posted about this already (I’m making my way through the thread), but the thing that sticks in my mind about this episode is Jack’s shoulders and head sort of falling as Rebecca leaves the room to get snacks (as if he knew).

    Brilliant detail!

    I went back and rewatched this and maybe this is when he has his deadly heart attack.

    Was having only one phone in the house still standard in '98?  Most people I knew had extensions - at least two (one upstairs and one downstairs).  Most homes with teenagers - especially a teenage girl - would have had more than two (because the teenage girl would have asked for one IN HER ROOM).  

    Extensions already has become very popular by the mid 1960's.

    I'm disappointed.  I wanted either of the guys to win.  Anyone but Michelle actually.  She can cook but she's such a self-centered little snot and I imagine she's insufferable now.  I sort of understood why she chose Elise.  Barbie is less talented and a total wild card.  She may have thought Elise wouldn't deliberately make herself look bad during her final appearance.  She was wrong but I can see why she might have gambled on it.  I actually agreed with Elise that Michelle was being obnoxious by repeating everything in her bossy way.  I don't agree with the way she responded though.

    Ben has cute, nicely behaved little girls.  Michelle's nephews look like little trolls.  With terrible table manners.  

    The first part of the final was totally and annoyingly contrived.  First, it was fairly obvious that was a fake awards dinner.  The crowd was too small and there weren't any recognizable California chefs that I could see.   And it was sooooo unexpected that they just happened to have the kitchen set up for three cooks - all of whom somehow changed into chef coats and, in the case of Michelle who was wearing a dress, pants - in moments while the crowd waited.  Then the judging ended up in, quelle surprise, a three-way tie.  I don't know why GR resorts to all that phony drama when the premise of the show is a good one.  

    I hate this show but I just can't not watch it.

    Noticed that there was a previous contestant from Worst Cooks show in the audience (the lady with the short white hair).

    She did find a dress in her size-the size 7 fit her well, but it didn't make her happy. (I will say, though, that despite what Kate said in in the present, her teen self was not as thin as present-day Madison, who is extremely thin.)

    I don't think that she was ever a size 7.  She looks a lot larger than that.

    Yuck.  Ripped up the original floors and put down ugly dark ones.  Painted the existing wood work gray.  Ugly bathroom wallpaper and fugly gold fixtures. 

    They certainly did a back slide on what they wanted to keep from the original condition of the house.  Ripping out the original floors and putting in those ugly new ones along with the new wrought iron balusters on the steps was a crime along with using termite damage damage as an excuse.  Really - they are in the reno business and didn't have the house inspected before they moved in.  Also thought that the wallpaper in downstairs bathroom didn't look art deco to me.

    Yeah, when she left the touching voicemail and the next scene has her sitting in the limo, you just know tragedy is about to strike.  I thought it was weird that they would notify the President of the United States of his wife’s death by calling him on his cell phone, though.

    I did not especially care for the First Lady.  She seemed incredulous that anyone would criticize the fact that her mother took a bribe. (oh, but it was for a good reason so that makes it ok).

     I feel bad for Tom and the little daughter, but Alex’s death will just give the teenage son another reason to be all pouty next season.  Ugh.

    They use this same scenario to kill off Connie Britton's character on Nashville.
