  1. That's like the computers that always have flashing lights. Even if it's a robot which has its insides suddenly exposed, there are those little lights flashing under the skin. At least they don't have the spinning tape drives any more, but that took them about 20 years.
  2. I'm kinda surprised Lifetime hasn't done a movie on the life of Tim Gunn. I just heard a radio interview (on NPR's "Fresh Air"), and he's had a pretty interesting life.
  3. Not exactly a grammar thing (I think) - but every now and then I hear a person mispronounce a place name and they're supposedly FROM that place! I know it's quibbling, but no one from Louisville KY pronounces it "loo-ee-ville" - they say "loo-ville". And it's "App-ah-LAT-cha", not "App-ah-LAY-cha", thank you very much.
  4. They should just say "(wife)'s daughter" or son. There's no need to mention Kody, so I wonder why they even do that? (No, I really don't wonder; I'm sure Kody insists on it.)
  5. I enjoyed seeing Chris Colfer playing this little twist on a "coming out" episode. He's not a skinny little kid any more, is he? I didn't particularly care for how far the show went with the joke. Letting Victoria think he was getting married just pushed it over the edge. Can't wait for the "animated" episode next week!
  6. Hop Sing goes off to pan for gold on his week off, and a white woman (Kelly Jean Peters) shows up. She seems shy and dumb - maybe even simple, but Hop Sing befriends her. Bang, they decide to get married, but find out that due to the laws it wouldn't be allowed. So she goes back to her home, "somewhere over the mountain." What I dislike about the episode is that Hop Sing is way too good for the dopey "Missy". But love is blind, I guess. BTW, I met Brent Young, Victor's son, in 2009. He's a really nice guy who is very proud of his father's legacy of film and television work.
  7. Only on TV does the bad guy waste time explaining his wicked evil plans to the good guy, giving the good guy and his friends time to rescue him.
  8. Victor Sen Yung was in 100(!) Bonanza episodes, out of 430 total. But he was only "featured" - with guest star billing - in 2: Season 10, episode 316 - Mark of Guilt - Hop Sing saves Little Joe from the hangman's noose with his knowledge of fingerprints Season 13, episode 404 - The Lonely Man - Hop Sing gets a girlfriend
  9. There are still a ton of Bonanza fans (and I am one). There are several active fan forums and fan gatherings in England, Germany, and recently Carson City NV. For SEVEN years blogger Rich Labonte ran a vote program where fans could vote hourly for their favorite shows; Bonanza ended up in 3rd place with over half a million votes - beating every show but "Firefly" and "Xena" http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/
  10. Only on TV - When someone is being questioned by the police, it seems like everyone already has a lawyer they can call, and they know the phone number by heart. Only on TV - there's always a parking place right in front of where they're going.
  11. I'm glad Mitch and Joy are getting together, because that means more Tim Daly! He looks sooo good.... BTW, I enjoyed the "Welcome Back LeBron" during the opening!
  12. I've been avoiding "The Goldbergs", but about a month ago my cousins and sisters got into a conversation about how cute it was, so I've been catching up. I'm glad it got renewed.
  13. Sister Wives. I hate the adults - grifters all. Amazingly, most of the kids seem normal.
  14. I think the lack of publicly displayed affection between Cam and Mitchell is in part to make them more palatable to the audience. If they were constantly cuddling or kissing, maybe some people would get squeegy about it. But occasionally you see sweetness between them. Those are lovely moments.
  15. I hope Mayim gets the Emmy - she's an amazing actress.
  16. Poor Morgan Fairchild has had too much plastic surgery; her face was so pumped up it looked like she was having an allergic reaction. Do women in Hollywood even see what they look like?
  17. Apparently not many people watched "Outsourced", since it was only on for a short time. But it was must watch TV for me and several of my coworkers, because the boss on the show was just like our boss (also from India). Anyway, I loved this scene, where Madhuri shows her singing ability: And the "Bollywood" dream:
  18. No, I just messed up. As soon as I posted, I looked for a way to delete it but I didn't see one. My bad.
  19. I was watching an old "Law And Order" and realized: when giving the police information to confirm an alibi, everyone always knows off the top of their heads their friends' phone number and addresses - to the house number. (Actually, this should be in the "Only On TV" thread, I guess. Oops.)
  20. I just re-watched the finale of "Will And Grace". It had some wonderful moments.
  21. Sometimes I run the opening song in slo-mo on my DVR. I always seem to notice a picture that I've never noticed before, especially towards the end.
  22. I loved this episode - crazy until the end, then sweet. I'm so glad Cam's parents decided to be nice (but wonder what will happen with them next season?) The ongoing bit with Manny and Luke was hilarious!
  23. They all talk so fast, often I have to rerun a scene with CC on.
  24. A bonk on the head causes amnesia. (The kind where you forget your past.) Another bonk on the head cures you.
  25. A question for everyone geeking out about Patton Oswalt: does he have a Marvel connection besides this show, or does everyone just love his character? I understand the character love, but I'm new to this fandom so just wondering...
