I've just started seeing a longer version of the Dominos pothole ad, showing somebody driving home with a pizza box on the passenger's seat. Why would you do that, rather than put it on the floor? Even if the roads are smooth, it'll go flying if you have to stop fast. Also, Dominos doesn't use those round disks that some pizza places put under the pizza, so you'll be greasing up the upholstery and the car will smell like pizza for days.

Since they refer to themselves as "Liberty Mutual" in their ads, why should I think of them when I hear just the word "Liberty"? I'm more likely to think of the tax prep company.

I suspect it was also from a few weeks ago; that's when someone here commented on Sam gaining weight. The HG's have an interest in staying in shape for physical comps and plenty of time to work it off, so JC's plan was doomed to fail (esp against Angela and Hayleigh).

Does it have to be an "ending" episode? Too often that translates into a parting-of-the-ways, which isn't too happy, regardless of how much good news they throw at the characters. I'd rather see something that says that these friends are in a good place, getting better for some, and things will go on, even if we won't see it; maybe fade out on them starting in on some Chinese food.

Where it goes depends on the vehicle. There's usually a diagram somewhere, but where they put that varies too.

Are they trying to say that you can't get cheap insurance at LM? There's a competitor that brags about being able to buy the minimum coverage required by law. I didn't know you couldn't do that everywhere, but maybe LM only sells policies with all the bells and whistles they mention in their ads. I still remember when NBC traded in their peacock logo for the letter "N" (and got sued for infringement of somebody else's "N").

Isn't it more typical to do a movie or two? Some, like The Simpsons, didn't even wait until they were done on TV.

Very early on, she called him a genius and he admitted having googled how to do that. Based on Penny's later comments, he didn't stick with what worked, with mixed results, but she gave him credit for his success(s). Is he still googling, or reading Sheldon's issues of Cosmo?

Neither Leslie nor Amy has respected Leonard, but Penny has said he "really tries" in the bedroom and, unlike her, they're not likely to hold back on giving him direction out of concern for his feelings, so I could see something developing anyway.

Leonard is with both Leslie Winkle and Amy?

That analogy won't work as long as they're still selling chunky. And what do they think people do to their peanut butter that it has to be a fresh jar?

In many cases they can't, because the current characters aren't the same as they used to be, and they've opened doors to new plot-lines. You know that Sheldon & Amy will be different parents than Howie & Bernie, and Leonard & Penny different from them. I'm sure a lot of inspiration can be found in classic sitcoms with married couples. I don't think we've seen anybody throw an anniversary party yet.

Schwab has been running an ad where they say their cost is 3 or 4 times less than a couple of their competitors. So if the latter is charging $100, they're charging a negative $300? You'd think a financial company would understand math well enough not to make such an annoying error.

It seems like we're waiting longer and longer for a lamer payoff. The pauses have gotten long enough to be really annoying. When it was revealed, one the the HG's claimed to have checked that pillow. I think the key was in how well Brett hid his piece inside the pillow. It seems like most HG's will just shove their piece in and figure that as long as they face that side of the pillow down and throw a few things on top, that's good enough. I think you'd have had to open up the pillow and poke inside or tried to flex it to catch what Brett did.

You could put them in the audience when Sheldon & Amy get that Nobel Prize you mentioned. And they get thanked by Sheldon because it's for a String Theory development coming from his discussion with Penny last season, and Leonard, in his role as experimental physicist, was key to proving it out. Unlikely, since the guys blew it up.

The writers sometimes confused not being educated with not being smart, and I was happy to see when they totally got it right. One of my favorite episodes is from this past season, when they flipped the script and had Sheldon talking shop with Penny while Leonard was off doing something a "dumbed down" Penny might.

Not really. It's boilerplate. It's exactly what you might hear at a wedding reception when the father of the groom toasts his son. Similarly from an older brother if dad isn't around, or at a party for a major event, like graduating from college. Basically, the letter contains all of the banalities that Chuck couldn't bring himself to say, even pro forma. Something had to trigger Chuck to write the letter. It was probably when Jimmy got his law degree or passed the bar, but somehow distinguishing himself in the mail room works too in a pinch.

If you get TV38 in Boston, they do multiple run-throughs simultaneously at different times of the week. Currently, they're in seasons 2 and 8 on weekdays and 9 on the weekend. They're juggling enough characters now that I probably wouldn't miss him, especially if Young Sheldon was still running afterwards. Maybe they'd have room to give Raj a decent story line and do something with Stuart.

Good decision. A later character/actress was worse.

Wouldn't a letter like that be handwritten or have a signature, making other authorship unlikely?

Todd was using Walt's nifty new process, foolproof unless the story called for otherwise.

I've found that turning on CC can help. The producers won't caption what they can't figure out well enough to write something coherent, but the captioning service is OK with writing gibberish and there are usually enough correct syllables that you can get the gist of what's being whispered.

A boy scout? I noticed that the imposter said some things in a way to suggest he was repeating details he had been given (e.g. his "a knife was used") rather than answering a question like you'd expect from the real person. They need to do a better job of matching up the "before you go" duo with someone else. Otter Girl was easy to spot, as have others been in that round of prior episodes.

Maybe it's Nev that needs to take on Max' role.

The Enterprise guy needs to suck it up and take Kristen's chair. It's technically a vehicle, even though the farthest it may have gone at one time is the finish line of a chair race. There used to be ads by car companies saying that anything with wheels was good for $500. They just built that much into the price and dealt with whatever some wise guys might bring in, probably making some extra sales.
