sempervivum

The only thing I enjoyed was Chloe's elegant wardrobe- that brown velvet pantsuit...

The Weather Tec commercial with a carful of rowdy grannies is pretty funny, although I draw the line at the boob-flashing at the bingo parlor.

Well, at least the upcoming episode with 2 chefs (I never heard of either one) might be better. Since they aren't really celebrities, we may be spared the breathless biographies.

Am I the only one baffled by the ad for 'Fanapt', some kind of drug for bipolar symptoms? This is the one featuring an animated story about a girl with enormous fly-like eyes who ?owns a shop? something to do with some keys? For some reason it's voice-over is in a heavy, possibly Scandinavian accent, which necessitates subtitling. Maybe you have to be bipolar to understand this? Fanapt Ad

I guess it was lucky Chrissy had some ancestors who were persecuted by the Nazis, since she was disappointed not to be Jewish. Really, her family thought they were Jewish because they were 'funny' and had a grandparent with the last name of Schaefer? Yeah, it was odd that tidbit was glossed over. There was a previous guest (long time ago) they also had connected to Charlemagne, and I seem to recall reading a poster here saying that there are millions of people in the world who could claim Charlemagne as an ancestor. So pfft.

Hm, I found this episode quite boring. I miss the part where they DNA-connect them to somebody else famous. Can't stand the woman, but Joy Behar absolutely didn't look 82 here.

Again, way too short-only 4 episodes after waiting for almost 2 years for this season. I'm saving the last episode as a treat during Christmas week.

I had mixed feelings, too. The plot at the end seemed as cluttered as Judith's (her aunt's) house. The 'Strangers on a Train' solution seems quite unbelievable when it involves more than 2 killers/victims. And I also switched impressions on the characters: started out liking Judith and despising Becks, but ended up thinking Judith was kind of nuts and that Becks had taken charge of her life at last. A nitpick, but I also couldn't figure out how or why Judith was living in that immense bric-a-brac stuffed house apparently completely alone. Surely she'd have to have a cleaning person and a gardener at the very least. The dusting! However, I'd definitely watch the next season just for the scenery and ambiance.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the 'Particle'/men's skincare ads. I'm soooo sick of hearing 'most men over 40 look in their mirror and see this'. The before pics make them all look hungover/much older, and the after pics show them with styled hair and great suits. Their skin looks the same in both. Learn from us ladies, guys- there are no miracles in jars.

It's not that he's a terrible singer, he's just completely mediocre. I wonder if he wrote that song; he was really hamming it up with his performance.

I can't even remember what the plot was for the latest episode, as I was traumatized by that horrific song Ridley sang at the end. Good Lord. So now he's back with Annie and they're going to buy out the sleazy partner 'somehow', even though he just handed 5K over to *schlubby cop* (can't remember his name)?

Very enjoyable- fabulous scenery and interior design, and I love Judith's outfits. I have to wonder, though, how a dog walker affords that nice stone house, and a retired archeologist came by that HUGE riverside mansion. Also kind of hoping Beck's horrid husband is the next victim.

So will the cancer cure that 'Freddy Klink' bought and squirrelled away end up somehow saving Hendrik, or will it just push him into finally getting treatment? These tough, high-powered detectives sure are lousy shots.

I'm having the same problem with this one as I did with 'Magpie'- I keep losing track of who's who/reality or fiction, and trying to remember each story line. I admit I'm usually doing dinner cleanup during this show, though. I do love watching for the fashion/clothing, interiors and scenery.

I was fairly entertained by the 2 parter, and no singing! I felt like Adrian Dunbar was actually using some of his acting chops for this one. However, I eyerolled at the police woman (don't recall her name) wearing leather pants, although I suppose they could be useful if she wiped out while in pursuit of a criminal. Also annoyed at the conversation with her partner about how getting married was a big deal that they had to think about-apparently HAVING A BABY TOGETHER was not so much??
