  1. 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.

  2. I love The Rolling Stones, but this commercial makes no sense:

    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.

  3. 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.

    I always thought the song in the commercial was, "Color is a beautiful thing," I think Nina Simone is singing.

    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.

    When was the last time you saw a grown-ass man put all the fingers of both hands in his mouth?!  Seriously looks like a cartoon!

    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.

    I cannot stand how the one woman says taco -  Taaaah-Ko.  She makes me stabby.  And her too damn hip outfit makes her body look out of proportion.

    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?

    I laughed every time Travis told Madison to go to the desert without him - he'd meet her there. You know - in the parking lot. Ha! Could we be just a little more specific about a meeting place in the freaking desert? Maybe: the third prairie dog village past that ant hill that looks like a volcano. Or something.

    "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.

  8. 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?

  9. 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.

    I saw a new ad last night for Dole frozen fruit dipped in chocolate...it features two cartoon-y female monkeys in lounge chairs talking about snacks.

    My first thought - "Wow I need those now"

    2nd thought -"Yeesh, those are creepy looking monkeys!"

    3rd thought- "Hey one of those monkeys looks just like Barbara Corcoran from Shark Tank!"

    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...

  11. 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?

  12. 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.
