This was mentioned in the Figure Skating thread:

I like his character on "Mom"; I hope he can continue to appear occasionally.

Sales people for essential industries are considered essential. Believe it or not, my niece represents a liquor company and her job required that she still make the rounds of liquor stores (there's no liquor sales in grocery stores where she lives). And yes, liquor stores are considered "essential"; I talked to one owner and she said her sales were up 50%.

"Leave the kids at home"? Hey, they ARE at home. Since you don't normally watch this show, maybe you don't know, but we have seen several band member's kids at various times, not to mention Seth's kids as well, and the guests'... also pets.

I don't remember the scene, but maybe she said "Dr. Zhivago"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Zhivago_(film) They were Russians and wore a lot of fur.

Here's a short article about her career: https://metv.com/stories/rip-mary-pat-gleason-comedic-talent-in-everything-from-mama-s-family-to-mom

For any of you who get COZY TV, I just saw an ad that they're playing season 10 of "Roseanne" (the season before "The Conners") next week. According to my schedule, it's 4 episodes every night from 8pm-10pm Monday-Friday.

About the cocktails: I've noticed it too, but maybe it's just that we rarely see talk show hosts drink anyway. I think he's professional enough to know when he's overdoing it. (I hope!) Some hosts seem to do better than others. Maybe it's the delivery, or the pausing between jokes. I don't think Stephen has done a lot of standup, which is probably better preparation for a non-responsive audience. Trevor Noah on The Daily Show seems to be better at delivering the jokes without an audience.

Different strokes, I guess; I was just thinking that was an interesting and enjoyable interview.

I would like the chance to see Bruce Campbell once more in "The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr" to see if it was as funny as I remember it.

Here is an account by his wife of John Prine's last days - at the bottom of the article is a link where you can hear the story from BBC Radio: https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/2020/0514/1138366-john-prines-wife-remembers-magic-last-gig-in-paris/

I don't see it on the schedule in the next week (as far ahead as my cable schedule guide shows), and the last episode on IMDB.COM is "Cause Of Death". https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10327412/episodes?season=1&ref_=tt_eps_sn_1

I didn't know Anna-Kat could sing like that! Maybe in a future episode we'll see her and Taylor sing together.

Here's a list of the status of broadcast shows - it looks like they're keeping it up to date: https://tvline.com/gallery/renewal-scorecard-renewed-cancelled-tv-shows-2020/

Absolutely! Who the hell does she think she is?

I think Darlene does have some responsibility for helping Dan. She's... what, 40? Something like that. And she has been living in her father's house as an adult for several years. If it were MY dad, I'd want to do whatever it takes to keep him in his house.

I like this series a lot more than I thought I would after the first couple episodes. I really liked the scene in the barbershop where he explained about the Dukes of Hazard and everyone accepted it; that surprised me. Dave is a veteran; they should bring that up during the campaign.

And yet I don't think I would want to watch Young Sheldon if George was an drunken abusive jerk. I know people who watch YS and didn't watch TBBT; the writers are writing for the current viewers.

Ok, at the end - what was that white thing on Louise's face?

Wow, Stephen's hair looked AWFUL. Who would have thought simply changing the part would have such an effect?

I'm one of the few (apparently) that loved the original finale. And I liked this one too, for the most part. - I liked that we didn't see the baby(s). This show is about Will and Grace, and I like that they ended it with them (and of course Karen and Jack). - I liked all the callbacks and winks to Jack's past jobs. - I didn't like the return of McCoy; didn't see any chemistry there. Plus he was a jerk for not calling Will when he must have known Will would hear he was back in town. - I liked the "turning out the lights" moment; that's just classic.

I wish this would have been longer. A show of this length and cultural importance deserved more than 30 minutes.

I had set up my DVR to record it, but they changed the name and on my DVR that cancelled the recording. But I saw a few minutes of it at someone else's house and it looked like routines you can probably find on youtube.

That was "Shallow" from "A Star is Born" (2018). It won the Oscar for Best Original Song.

Off topic: My favorite The Learning Channel story - when the channel first started, I was flipping channels and came across what I thought was someone cutting up a chicken. Then the voice-over said "vas deferens" and I realized I was watching an extreme closeup of a vasectomy!
