The Wild Sow

That too! I was wondering through the whole thing, who the heck acts like that? And how did she ever get through a psych evaluation to even get on the force? Plus, she's undercover, she must have superior officers aware of what she's doing. Where were they? Dumb, dumb episode.

Really! All she had to do was tell Shaw that he had a bottle, or might have had one! Especially since he did have it when he came out (and where’d it go, anyway?) Altogether a stupid & forgettable episode.

First for manslaughter - assuming that the box itself had some sort of dangerous malfunction. Later upped to murder when the cops learned that Adelaide wasn't a random victim. I called the mentor, though -- because it's always the mentor, isn't it? Although I thought it would be a jealousy motive rather than a "don't wanna get exposed as a sexual predator" motive. Martin Trenway! I was trying all through the show to remember what I knew him from! I guess he's the dad on The Nanny but since I've never watched it, I wouldn't know.

Testing from phone

Somehow my last 2 or 3 posts - from my phone - have not showed up. Gonna have to check that. Anyway....No Hamilfans on last night's show? Wow! The entire show is about how Alex "won't throw away his shot" - and then proceeds to do just that. And Aaron Burr standing back to "wait for it...wait for it..." And then doesn't! Also, what was with all the paintings? Was it "Nekkid Art Day" on Jeopardy last night?! 😁LOL even Birth of Venus, although they didn't show it, just described it!

@MrAtoz - Thank you (and everyone who remembers Jim.) He mentioned meeting you and said you were a great contestant too, as well as a pretty cool guy. I'm heading over to the house now to spend some time with Jan and help with planning for the service Friday (including getting our 100 year old Mom there!) So awful - no one should lose a child, and certainly no one expects to reach the age of 100 and lose a child 💔 Here's Jim's obituary.

Hi, Jeopardy Peeps - some sad news to share. My brother Jim McGinnis (gimmickgenius on the forums) passed away suddenly this past Thursday. He had just turned 65 a few weeks ago. My baby brother (along with Tom) and just the best brother and friend and all around wonderful guy anyone could ever hope to know 😪 Jim's show aired July 3, 2018. He lost on a very tough Final Jeopardy, but just making it to the Alex Trebek stage - and meeting Alex himself! - was such a great thing. We're all so proud of him. Miss you like crazy, Brother - till we meet again 💔

Years ago, there was clue about Osama Bin Laden - with a picture. Taped before 9/11/01, of course. When it showed up in a morning rerun, yes, of course they added a chyron about it being taped prior to the attack.

I think Ted McGinnis (an adult) was the only actual death in that one, wasn't he? Since that's my maiden name -- Ted could have been an uncle somewhere along the line! I know my great-grandpa James & his family came over sometime between 1871 (when his youngest brother was born in Scotland) and 1889, when his oldest child, my grandpa Bill, was born in the US. Have to check family records and see if there's a Ted in there -- I know we have quite a few Henrys! Blizzards really do come up that fast on the plains. Read about the Schoolhouse Blizzard of January 12, 1888, for more stories about that. An unusually warm day, about 60 degrees F at noon, people out and about without their heavy winter clothes -- and the storm just hit like a WALL about 3:30 PM. Terrifying!

Oops, I was mistaken -- it's Great American Faith & Living, not Cozi! Part 2 is on in about 5 minutes. Carrie down the mine shaft is on Cozi this morning.

Baby Battering-Ram is on CoziTV right now! Seems to me everyone's awfully quick to forgive Albert after that, too.

The most hilarious and ironic thing is that the episodes immediately following "Once Upon a Time" are "Home Again" (parts 1 and 2.) You know, the ones where "Albert Ingalls," the (non-existent, non-historical, added to the show for drama!) adopted son falls in with the gang (drama!) in Chicago (where I don't think the real Charles and family ever actually lived , so....drama!) And gets addicted to mor-PHINE (how's that for DRAMA!) And of course Pa tough-loves him through the cold turkey withdrawal (quite dramatic, no?) but it all works out and Albert grows up to be Dr. Albert Ingalls (Happy Ending after all the drama!) So, the real Laura Ingalls Wilder wasn't willing to make up stuff in her books to add drama. Michael Landon, it seems, had no such qualms! And I still think he timed the episodes that way on purpose 😜

Yes! I love that one, and thank the Powers that Be that he didn't go with the stupid "Eat Your Young." I love Hozier but even the best artists come up with a clunker once in a while, and that's his. "Nobody's Soldier" would have been fine too. Oh yeah! I wasn't even planning to watch (I can actually take or leave Martin Short), but decided to DVR it just for Hozier. And am I ever glad I did! Of course, Shane and Kirsty are irreplaceable - but that was just a lovely tribute (and as someone on Hozier's FB mentioned, it took 3 wonderful women harmonizing, to fill Kirsty's shoes - presumable "these" shoes!) Shane MacGowan actually passed away on Nov. 30, 2023. And I had stayed late at work to take down the fall decorations and put up the Christmas/Hanukkah/New Years ones for December when I heard the announcement. I just put "Fairy Tale of New York" on repeat and cried a bit while I finished decorating. I think he'll always be one of my "I remember exactly where I was when I heard he died" people. Like John Lennon (working 2nd shift processing school pictures), JFK (kindergarten!), and Kurt Cobain (driving to pick up the kids after school.) Shane was a Christmas baby himself, and didn't quite make it to age 66. 😪 TWO lyrics, actually! And did a decent job of replacing them that didn't ruin it. But I have to say, apparently the first one was OK to say on SNL back in the Jane Curtin/Dan Ackroyd days!

Yep, I was cracking up when she decided to siphon that person's gas - although it is possible to do that without getting gasoline all the way into your mouth! Hey, I've siphoned to clean fish tanks - and I think dirty fish water would be arguably worse than gasoline! Yeah, I fear for Audrey's life too. Funny, because I didn't expect to like the character, figured she was just there to be a spoiler and would be your basic soap opera manipulative b-word. But she turned out to be a pretty cool person and probably better for Bode than Gabs is at this point. But it always ticks me off when a person reaches adulthood (or any age over maybe 10!) without knowing how to swim! How the hell does that happen? It's such a basic and important life skill, and even if you're not an avid swimmer like me, it's something everyone should learn! (Sorry, every time there's a news story about an adult or older kid drowning, it almost always includes the line "so-and-so did not know how to swim....") Yeah, knowing how to swim won't stop every drowning, but it certainly gives you a fighting chance! OK, off my soapbox now....

And once again, I'm just bemused about "Once Upon a Time" and "Home Again" being back-to-back! The more I think about it, the more I'm guessing Michael Landon had to have done that on purpose!
