"Oh HELL No!": TV Moments That Make You Irate
Bruinsfan replied to magicdog's topic in Everything Else TV
Joss Whedon flipped his lid over Charisma Carpenter getting pregnant without his "permission," and she was a married woman in her early 30s who'd already had two demonic pregnancy storylines on his show that were accepted just fine by the audience. Convicted serial sexual assailant Bill Cosby gets no benefit of the doubt from me in any conflict with any woman.- 874 replies

Likely when he saw how many failures were racking up compared to the one timeline he came across with a win condition, he stopped looking when he hit 14 million +.

Dr. Strange put up a damn good solo fight against him when he had the Infinity Gauntlet and 4 of the stones. If he'd had a moment or two to clear his head and plan, they could have won once they got the gauntlet off.

Yes. Having a 14 lb. wet cat swinging from the inside of your elbow by one claw is not fun. Now I own two self-cleaning models who take care of the spots their sibling can't reach.

Shame. That might be my favorite relationship between any of the Avengers.

Three of the four people at that table are black, which changes a lot of things about how much patience businesses have with customers.

She's used to being near teenage boys? The one year I had PE in high school it killed me that I didn't have time to shower after Gym and had to go through the rest of the day all funky, but most of my classmates seemed to think nothing of it.

I don't even think it was so much he was truly biased, as he was afraid of angering Tommy. Which, understandable, but grow a spine, Preacher Man! I do think Judd ratting Tommy out was petty, and due to bruised ego/hurt fee fees rather than truly necessary. Since when does he believe in following all rules to the letter? If Owen were that stringent about everyone following protocol the whole 126 would have been fired by now. Maybe it's not the first time Judd has chopped off body parts with an axe? Gotta save some plots for Season 5! Wow, it really doesn't pay to be a loved one of any of the main characters. Wyatt's in an accident that injures his spine, Grace's dad has had multiple life-threatening hospitalizations, Mateo's identical cousin died in a car crash, Tommy's husband died young, Owen's father and ex-wife have died, his half brother has a grisly lethal condition that he's responding to with assisted suicide, one girlfriend was the target of a massive bomb threat, and another was poisoned by her husband. All in the last 4 years. Be careful, Mr. and Mrs. Reyes!

I don't think she wants to remind anyone about her old show, in case there are any war crimes tribunals that might develop an interest.

Commercials That Annoy, Irritate or Outright Enrage
Bruinsfan replied to Maverick's topic in Commercials
Aw, I thought that commercial was refreshingly entertaining. -
It's on the Hallmark Channel, so I'm pretty sure that eventual romance is supposed to be the core premise of the show despite its utter lack of appeal. According to the Bible, aren't men supposed to marry their dead brothers' widows?

I've definitely seen a dog food commercial where the mix of salmon, rice, and spinach looked appetizing to me until I realized what was being advertised. I buy Hills prescription dry chow for my cats, so while it looks about like any other dry food it costs more per pound than the groceries I buy for myself! -
If Kendra were age-appropriate for Owen it probably would have taken her a lot longer to recover from her near-fatal poisoning...
-
I hope they make Brigitte and Zooey regulars, as I've always liked the former and the latter is by far the best character they've introduced since Oscar.

Say What?: Commercials That Made Us Scratch Our Heads
Bruinsfan replied to Lola16's topic in Commercials
This Visit California commercial makes me think the top attraction being advertised is California's crop of hallucinogenic mushrooms! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VHUHMTpkr0 -
My guess is yes based on how many shows have done just that over the years. (Including tons of series on the Sci-Fi Network and Hallmark).

It's probably TK's turn as the origin for whatever ridiculous drama unfolds, but we can be fairly sure he won't have any heretofore unknown wives or ex girlfriends crashing the wedding with a machine gun for the objections part of the ceremony. Or ex boyfriends for that matter—I don't recall ever seeing any of his exes. Probably any that escaped with their lives are happy to never cross paths with him again. Maybe Lou I will return to rampage through the wedding guests?
-
Amen! If I were Tommy I'd have had no problem with the wagging tongues, but a HUGE problem with someone I was dating breaking up with me once he found out that uninvolved third parties disapproved. The one moment I cheered for was her "Oh, and you never will again" reply when he said he'd never met anyone like her before.
-
That reads as very realistic to me, though. I've lost count of how many times I've heard of things like abuse victims being shamed by the family for speaking up and "making trouble." As if it's the family's perfect image being stained that's the problem, not the person abusing his relatives.
-
That's my recollection. Though Owen probably should have stepped back and let one of the first responders who WASN'T banging the corpsicle's wife attempt resuscitation/defrosting just to avoid any accusations of not doing the job competently for ulterior motives.
-
That CPR scene was incredibly gross, but my best friend had something sort of similar happen to him early in his paramedic career.
-
I can see the division in her mind between peers/work friends that she thinks of as family and eligible men she's actually trying out for romantic dating. If anything I think it's developing a crush on her physical therapist that kind of muddies the waters (though who knows, she might well switch to another PT now that she's expressed an interest in him).

Orville Redenbacher's postmortem commercial still takes the cake for me. If the popcorn wasn't better than all the other brands I've tried I would have dropped it like a rock after seeing his heirs approve that shit. -

I remember having SPAM® as a kid. My mom would pan-fry slices until crispy, then serve them with ketchup to dip in. It tasted pretty good, though as an adult I'd rather just buy ham steaks to fry or grill. -
Hey, if you bring the circus to town, you can't complain when people comment about all the flyers posted everywhere.
