I agree. They also need to run The Dick van Dyke Show on a daily basis instead of one day a week.

I didn't tell him to do it, though I did once give him a piece of chocolate that was actually Exlax.

When I was a kid, a friend of mine wondered if Nair worked, so he put it on one of his eyebrows. Funny how long it takes a kid's eyebrow to grow back.

Unfortunately it's streaming and I'm boycotting all streaming (not that those companies care). As a kid I really liked the original "Zorro" series. I can still remember the words to the theme song.

Emily in Paris: Paris, J'Adore!: The Official Authorized Companion to Emily's Secret Paris ISBN: 9780316520522 "Paris, J'Adore!" is Emily Cooper's diary about her life in France so far. From leaving her boyfriend in Chicago to starting at marketing firm Savoir in Paris, it reveals all the thrill, fear and confusion Emily experiences as she embarks on her new life. She becomes acquainted not only with French workplace etiquette - the long lunches, the arguments, the determined reluctance to use social media - but also with Gabriel, the hottest chef in town. Some things, though, are beyond comprehension: like why the first floor in a Parisian apartment building is the second floor and the first floor is the ground floor. As the months go by, Emily learns how it's perfectly normal to have a glass of Sancerre for breakfast and how you should never turn up early at work. But more than anything, she learns about love, female friendships, and how exciting it is to step out of your comfort zone in this beautiful and intriguing city. Paris, J'Adore! is also a guidebook to how to be a Parisian, with tips on fashion, romance, and where to capture the perfect selfie in the City of Lights. Written in Emily's voice, it will contain the following sections: Emily's Fashion Paris - all about Emily's favourite outfits and designers - from Cadault to Chanel - as well as tips on what to wear to the beach, where to find the best boutiques, and how to dress like a Parisian; Emily's Romantic Paris - the best bridges to kiss and break up on, where you can find the most breathtaking views and the most perfect backstreets, why the magic of the Eiffel Tower twinkling at night is the most intoxicating backdrop to falling in love, and a selection of the most evocative French songs to sing along to; Emily's Secret Paris - where Parisians show Emily the real Paris, from the hamman in the Mosquée de Paris to the Atelier des Lumières, and from small independent French cinemas to delightful neighbourhood restaurants; Emily's Workplace Paris - how to navigate tensions and emotions in a French boardroom, lunch and coffee break rituals, Sylvie's own version of Savoir's Employee Handbook, and how to teach the French about social media; Emily's Escapades from Paris - including the delights of the Champagne region, the sheer glamour of Saint-Tropez and the opulence of the Château de Versailles. Packed with four-colour photographs, exquisite illustrations and beautiful shots of Paris, Paris, J'Adore! is a hugely desirable gift book for all the fans of the show.

This coming Sunday's MeTV's "Summer of Me" binge is "I Love Lucy."

Might be an esthetic issue, as. generally, a "greasy" face is not considered desirable.

The music continues. If they do more "Top Hits" shows, this could go on for a while.

I actually watched the new "Parker" ad for State Farm (which isn't in high rotation). It's not even the actual Parker but a Parker impersonator!

I think you're confusing two commercials, unless the Walgreens lady got a cat we don't know about. 😃

I think she's kind of cute, unlike the ZocDoc lady who it hurts when she pees. I really don't want to know about her plumbing.

Directed by James Burrows: Five Decades of Stories from the Legendary Director of Taxi, Cheers, Frasier, Friends, Will & Grace, and More James Burrows ISBN: 9780593358245 From the director of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Taxi, Cheers, Frasier, Friends, and Will & Grace comes an insightful and nostalgic memoir that offers a bounty of behind-the-scenes moments from our favorite shows, peeling away the layers behind how a successful sitcom comes together—and stays that way. Legendary sitcom director James Burrows has spent five decades making America laugh. Here readers will find never-revealed stories behind the casting of the dozens of great sitcoms he directed, as well as details as to how these memorable shows were created, how they got on the air, and how the cast and crew continued to develop and grow. Burrows also examines his own challenges, career victories, and defeats, and provides advice for aspiring directors, writers, and actors. All this from the man who helped launch the careers of Ted Danson, Kelsey Grammer, Woody Harrelson, Jennifer Aniston, Debra Messing, and Melissa McCarthy, to name a few. Burrows talks fondly about the inspiration he found during his childhood and young adult years, including his father, legendary playwright and Broadway director Abe Burrows. From there he goes on to explain his rigorous work ethic, forged in his early years in theater, where he did everything from stage managing to building sets to, finally, directing. Transitioning to television, Burrows locked into a coveted job with The Mary Tyler Moore Show, where he first observed and then started to apply his craft. Directing most of the episodes of Taxi came next, where he worked closely with writers/producers Glen and Les Charles. The three formed a remarkable creative partnership that helped Burrows achieve his much sought-after goal of ownership and agency over a project, which came with the creating and directing of the seminal and beloved hit Cheers. Burrows has directed more than seventy-five pilots that have gone to series and over a thousand episodes, more than any other director in history.

My AT&T cable added COZI (and Grit to the line up). So I get to watch "Quincy", "Banacek" and "Murdoch Mysteries" among other shows.

Quentin Tarantino Book 'Cinema Speculation' to Land Oct. 25 "Harper is calling “Cinema Speculation” a combination of “film criticism, film theory, a feat of reporting, and wonderful personal history.” Tarantino, 59, is also known for such movies as “Pulp Fiction,” “Reservoir Dogs” and “Django Unchained." He has previously cited such '70s films as “Jaws,” “Apocalypse Now" and “Carrie” as among his favorites." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-27/quentin-tarantino-book-cinema-speculation-to-land-oct-25

As I mentioned elsewhere, as a kid I often put milk in root beer for an ersatz black cow, creamer in a coke would be an ersatz brown cow (though why not just use milk?).
