This week's forthcoming episode is one of the best, "The Night of the Lord of Limbo." West time travels. I look forward to your take on it.

As a kid I never had to buy my mother Mother's Day presents because I was actually born on Mother's Day and I told her I was her Mother's Day present. :)

I think to have enjoyed a lot of American cars from the 1970s, you had to own a repair shop.

Ah, the Seventies, the golden age of the American automotive industry.

All the Mother's Day cologne and jewelry ads are starting to fill the airwaves. The cologne ads are the worse - beautiful women doing inexplicable things.

It seems like, as with chicken sandwiches, once one fast food joint added mac and cheese, all the others had to also. Then they start adding things to the mac and cheese to supposedly stand out.

Yes, I can see the point of the retro look, but the new ones aren't one thing or the other.

The 1997 Mustang was not a 1960s Mustang look-a-like. It was sleeker. The week I traded it in for a new car (I went with non-American as well, a Nissan XTerra) some random passerbys were gaping at my Mustang, wondering what kind of car it was.

Fords from that era were pretty bad. I had a 1977 Maverick (the best thing you can say about it is that at least it wasn't a Pinto). My next was a 1987 Mustang, also pretty crappy. The next was a 1997 Mustang which was a lot better and a nice looking car, though my last Ford.

Though it had largely bad reviews when released at the end of the disaster movie cycle, I like "Cassandra Crossing" (despite O.J.). I saw "Poseidon Adventure" at a sneak preview. I was working in the third sub-basement of Marshall Field's at the time.

I think by the early 1970s that was changed. I think people didn't think it was a helpful feature. Definitely still in place in the mid-1960s.

Moved Car Talk to "Small Talk"

Or they used to (still do?) have magnetic "key safes" you can hid somewhere on the car with an extra key. I had one back in the 1970s. BTW, it used to be a "feature" on Fords that it was impossible to lock your keys in your car as you could only lock the car doors with the key. I remember my father (a Ford man) always mentioning this when someone else locked their keys in their Chevy (or other car). Ha! I hate to say it, but my lock-out car was a Ford. The door would lock if the button was down. That's why I said used to, because I thought they had changed that feature.

And things can quickly change. People popular in middle school, might not be in high school, even as in Freshman year vs. Senior year, etc. Missy was always talking about the really popular kids, but she didn't seem to be in that clique, as evidenced by her excitement at being seated between two of them in school).

My previous apt. had installed automatic closing doors on all apts. (supposedly mandated by the village), which caused a lot more of people to start locking themselves out. My current apt. you have to use the key to lock your apt. door (which, however, means periodically people forget to remove their keys after entering their apts.). It's always something! :)

"The Big Bus" has Ruth Gordon as "The Old Lady"

This episode also includes one of my favorite character actors, Vito Scotti (another being Royal Dano). He's good no matter what he's in.

When I was younger I would have totally bought "Bachelor Chow."

I saw "Woodstock" in a theater about 10 years ago or so and was surprised by the large number of the theater patrons around me complaining about Ten Years After, acting bored, yawning and making rude comments. Generational?

I recall that this is a Ross Martin episode, he stands out as the German chef.

Why shouldn't human food look like pet food? That's the whole point of Bachelor Chow (see "Futurama"- -"Now With Flavor!").

Or they could have called the police or a towing company who'd open it with a "slim jim". I also would have thought Georgie would know all that and done it right away.

Bosom Buddies!!! Ugh, Mama's Family
