Count me in on the Dylan love. The guy can make a bong out of a carrot.

I've seen the Kit Kat whistle-and-crunch Halloween commercial too. "Cos-cos-cos-cos-cause this is thriller, thriller night" in the Party City ads make me so damn stabby.

Yeah, and I don't understand the term "leftover wine" either. If you still have wine in the bottle, you need to up your game. There's a commercial now for some sexual aid for women who suffer from painful sex due to menopause. The drug apparently has every side effect known to man because after its use is briefly discussed by a cross looking lady with a Louise Brooks hairdo, all you hear is what terrible things it does to your body.

I love The Rolling Stones, but this commercial makes no sense: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVNgKgJjiBA First of all, how exactly did the fact that the Stones brought bottles of Jose Cuervo on tour with them in 1972 change rock n' roll? Second, who are all these people? Did the Stones also bring a town of pretty people with them on tour? And last, the song that is used is "Miss You," which wasn't released until 1978.

So now Nick is off to camp where he will probably no longer be dressing like The Golden Girls wearing men's clothes when they were trying to meet Bob Hope in a country club locker room.

And whenever someone smells like cookies, I'm just going to assume they work in a Honey Bunches of Oats factory.

I admit it -- I've been watching the episodes on TVLand. The one where Tootie meets Jermaine Jackson was on last night. I don't remember that episode as being particularly heavy-handed but man, it was. From Tootie's overwrought reaction to being told that she can't go to Jermaine's concert to Mrs. Garrett's horrified reaction to Tootie's hysteria -- it's got "Very Special Episode" written all over it in permanent ink. Then when Tootie manages to get past the world's worst security guard and get into Jermaine's dressing room, she's manhandled by his body guard and gets a lesson in the dark side of celebrity worship. As far as celebrity cameos go, I would rate Jermaine's appearance as a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10. Poor guy couldn't act worth a damn and ... he's Jermaine Jackson. He had a decent solo career (as I'm writing this, "Let's Get Serious" is running through my head) but it's almost like he's playing his much better known brother Michael in this episode.

Kind of like the woman in the Tyson chicken commercials who got tired of trying to please the picky eaters in the family, so now all she ever fixes for dinner is Tyson chicken strips.

How wonderful to see Carol Burnett looking so well and sharp as ever. I watch the reruns of her variety show at 11 on MeTV and that show is as funny now as it was 40 years ago. Spacey's Jimmy Stewart impression was priceless.

That is what Nina Simone is singing, but it just sounds like "Cholera's a beautiful thing." The infernal Party City Halloween commercials are back to haunt us for another six weeks or so. Blech.

It's like he's doing his impression of the ghost with all the hot dogs in his mouth in "Ghostbusters." I just returned from the beach and the hotel where I stayed used Cottonelle bath tissue. But I did not go co-mahn-do. I did, however, really annoy my companion by singing "Cholera's a beautiful thing, I know, I know" after I had a few too many cocktails.

There's a commercial for Toaster Strudel with this woman enjoying the breakfast treat so much that she's got the icing and flecks of the pastry all over her face. You know, they make things called napkins and they're relatively cheap, especially if you shop at a dollar store.

It's like she's saying the word taco for the very first time. Doesn't she also say she's from the South and she knows what a biscuit is supposed to taste like? Or is that one of the other annoying breakfast defectives?

"We'll meet up next to the cactus the Roadrunner is always passing. Not that one, the other one." I thought tonight's episode was an improvement over last week's. Now I can see how LA went to hell so quickly in the ZA. What were perceived as attacks against innocent, unarmed people were attempts by the LAPD to kill the walkers. The protesters helped dismantle society. The female police officer had a Carol look on her face when she had to shoot the female walker with the Boy George hair. She didn't want to do it, but she had to.

The combination of the poor injured dog and Lee Marvin's gravely voice just works. It's genius. :)

I just love this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5Qys2ULU74

Thought it was OK, but I kept thinking in the scene with Nick and Cal that Craterface from "Grease" was going to show up for a drag race. Also, anyone else notice that the doctor on call when the old man coded looked an awfully lot like the doctor at Grady Memorial?

There's an ad for Green Mountain Gringo Salsa. A group of tourists are about to take a tour of the plant where the salsa is supposedly made. The peppy blond tour guide insists that one of the people on the tour remove his hideous toupee because they don't allow anything artificial inside the factory. I feel so sorry for the guy because he seems perfectly nice -- he's just wearing a bad hairpiece. What if he's losing his hair because he's been sick or on chemo? And I'm not so sure that the tour guide's carpet matches the drapes, so maybe SHE should be barred from entering the factory.

Norm MacDonald is the new Colonel Sanders? What, eHarmony granddaddy wasn't available to up the creep factor?

Two things that really really got me: 1.) When Odi said, "You have died, George" and 2.) Max's sweet smile when the policeman shoved a gun in his face.

Thank you so much for this. And here I thought there would be no more laughter in my life after Jon Stewart left Comedy Central...

I really shouldn't have ventured in here while my pinot noir hangover is still hitting me pretty hard. I don't think I've cried so hard watching anything since Mr. Hooper died on "Sesame Street."

I guess Nissan owners don't pass their cars down to their kids like Subaru owners do. Sad, really.

Denny's now has a burger inspired by The Thing from Fantastic Four. What next? A line of picnic ware offered by Target with an "Ant-Man" tie-in?

I watched the "The Seinfeld Chronicles" yesterday on TBS and it's remarkable that this show ever made it past the pilot episode. This is my favorite sitcom of all time, but I try to avoid the first episode because it's so awkward and not especially funny. Even Jerry's stand-up stuff doesn't warrant a giggle. I think some of the funniest episodes aired toward the end of the show's run -- "The Fatigues," "The Merv Griffin Show," "The Strike," and "The Comeback" are among my personal favorites.
