    Hey, was Randall insinuating that "What's Happenin'!!" was a bad sitcom? Because he's wrong! #norogernorerunnorent

    This wasn't bad at all. I like the characters and the writing was good. I will probably tune in next week to see how things develop.

    "In A World....." Movie and TV Show Trailers

    in Commercials

    Ugh! I enjoy watching reruns of "Reba" (don't judge!) on TVLand on the weekends, but it's an almost painful experience because of TVLand's relentless promotion of its "original" programming. You could not force me at gunpoint to watch "Younger" or "Impastor." (Well, actually, you probably could, but that would be a stupid thing to force someone to do at gunpoint.)

    Commercials That Annoy, Irritate or Outright Enrage

    I was watching the In the Heat of The Night block of shows on WGN and this one for Tresiba came on a few times. The freeze frame shots and the looks on their faces and just about all of it was annoying to no end. Commercials like this make me wish we had laws like other countries that have banned direct advertising of pharmaceuticals.

    I am beginning to wonder if there's some law on the books that says commercials for diabetes drugs must be uniformly awful. Because they certainly are. This one is a complete crapfest. The waitress who says "I work around the clock" really bugs. Around the clock? Is she striving for some Guiness World Record or something? Maybe in addition to waiting tables she's earning her degree in VCR repair from the Sally Struthers University. All of these people need to go away.

    Seriously! She could make one of those Ree Drummond inspired wedge salads. They're so easy to make! You just chop a head of lettuce into fourths, add cayenne pepper, some thousand island dressing, a can of creamed corn, Worcestershire sauce, some fried onions, a handful of bacon bits, some jalapeno peppers, two ounces of Miracle Whip salad dressing, and a dash of paprika. Bon Appetite!

    The Domino's ads about their new salads are so damn dumb. I'm not sure what they're charging for what they call salads, but I'm sure it's too much. And the lady who is ruining everyone's dinner plans because she wants a salad while they want pizza is eating mostly radishes. So why doesn't someone just say, "OK, eat your radish. We're getting pizza."

    Commercials That Annoy, Irritate or Outright Enrage

    There was a back-to-school ad than ran a bunch before Labor Day. One mother tells us that her daughter spent the summer binge-watching and now she'll be binge studying. Next a dad says his daughter writes mostly in emojis, but soon she'll be writing prize-winning essays. Then a woman says the only Spanish word her son knows is burrito, but soon he'll practically be qualified to be a translator at the UN (not the exact wording but close.) Hate to tell you, mom with the daughter holding the gynormous soda as she binge watches TV, but your daughter is basically a zombie now. And dad, your daughter's reliance on using emojis has made her forget how to write the English language so she probably won't be winning any prizes for her essays. And burrito boy mom, how can you expect great things from your almost grown son when he doesn't even know how to use a fucking napkin to wipe his stupid face?

    Or just spray a bunch of Febreze around and no one will know that you even have a cat! I saw pillows at a discount store that were Febreze scented. Is this what the world is coming to? In the future will skyscrapers be build with Febreze-infused bricks? After a while we're going to forget how stuff really smells. Maybe that's a good thing.

    Regarding Jennifer Aniston, I'm sure Dr. Boring Eyes (TM a brilliant mind at TWoP) is mighty mad she's got competition now.

    Small Talk: We'll Be Right Back

    The people who maintain your town's water lines will thank you for not flushing.  That's all I hear from water people -- the stuff might be "flushable" but that doesn't mean it won't cause problems in the city's water systems.  Same goes for tampons, Kleenex, and premium bathroom tissue.  If they had their way, we'd all be using that one-ply stuff that you can see through. 

    When I was in sixth grade, our science class went on a field trip to the wastewater treatment plant (how fun!) and what I remember most is this vat of plastic tampon applicators that had been sorted out from the sewers.

    I have a septic tank now and it scares me. Actually, the Rid-X commercials with the guy getting a $6,000 bill for a backed up septic tank scare me. But someone told me I just need to have it pumped out every five years or so and I should have no problems. Also, I bought the Rid-X.

    Regarding the cat litter/cat waste disposal conversation: I live in a house with seven cats because insanity runs in my family. Well, actually, I had two but then my girlfriend moved in with her five cats and that's the way we became the Crazy Cat Lady Bunch. We bought a house recently and we are determined for our guests not to make stank face when they walk in. There's a small screened-in porch on the back of the house that we're using for all the kitty needs. Litter pans are there, as well as their food bowls. We bought one of those giant plastic pans that are made for concrete mixing and let me tell you, they make excellent litter pans. Unlike other boxes, the clumps do not stick to the sides or to the bottom. And the cats seems happy with it. I haven't noticed any accidents outside the box yet.

    Earworms: Music in Commercials

    I would like to thank the powers that be for including the song "Ballroom Blitz" in the marketing for the movie "Suicide Squad." Oh, wait, did I say thank? I mean run over with a tank. I used to like that song! But now that I hear it 50 times a day, not so much.

    Flip Or Flop - General Discussion

    in Flip Or Flop

    I was thinking with those concrete floors, that house would be hard to sell to families with very young children.

    The breaking of the counter top was so obviously staged it was laughable. Almost as bad as the tree top landing on the roof a season ago. ("Oh no, the roof!")

    One thing I really, really liked was the backyard waterfall and fireplace combination. I bet that would look amazing at night.
