Nothing but more fighting. Do they really have to bring in YS characters to add fighting, considering all the squabbling the regular characters do. Still waiting for Bobbi Sparks to appear and fight with somebody.

He might be an Urkel, though.

I'm rather bored with every episode being about the various family members arguing with each other. Maybe have a subplot that actually develops over time?

Since no one else has seemed to mentioned it, the Hempvanna commercials where they give Will Markham's body count - "4500 confirmed kills" - is totally weird and disturbing.

No, I think they just did the gag at his school (he wasn't famous yet). A fortuitous circumstance. You can see the clip on Youtube

They showed an interesting "Candid Camera" where a high school-aged Richard Lewis was told by a school guidance counselor that his career choice should be manual labor.

It's pretty bad when the best character in an episode is Connor. I liked seeing George, but the scene was sort of meh, and really? Zombie George? Since the writers think what people want is the return of YS characters, I'm waiting for Bobbi Sparks to appear. I doubt she's going to get the weather girl job based on her performance. Living with Sheldon, you'd think Georgie would know how to not infect the whole world with his cold.

Traditionally the first film after a change in the lead is the best in that group, IMHO. So maybe we'll at least get one good Bond movie. In the meantime, I suggest watching "OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies" if you haven't seen it (or even if you have).

BINGE TV is running "Candid Camera" on Fridays followed by three episodes of MST3K early Saturday.

I thought it would be good if Georgie stayed at Fagenbacher's for a couple of episodes and be a success, before Jim's begs him to come back.

"Shock the Monkey"?

Could have been a good episode in the DR. Tire story, but it was pretty blah.

If they got rid of the tango they'd probably have them doing a mambo.

I always thought the character of Connor reminded me of someone, I watched the first episode of SNL on NBC Sat. and I realized it was Andy Kaufman.

I was pleased they recognized Sears as the place families at that time got their pictures taken.

Virtually all Chuck Lorre mothers are unpleasant.

He was in a number of Woody Allen films, often as Allen's goyim.

Connor playing the Omnichord was funny, like him playing the accordion, but the writers still don't seem to have figured out how to integrate him into the main story. Is he just going to be playing a different instrument every week?

The Seal as a seal ad is horrifying. I wonder how many kids aren't going to be able to fall asleep after seeing that.

And celebs selling reverse mortgages.
