    "Police Squad" is actually funnier than the movies.

    Yes, it is. I remember renting the VHS tapes in the 80s and thinking "Police Squad" was the funniest TV show I'd ever seen. I loved how the title of the episode never matched what the announcer said at the beginning. I need to go back and watch that show again to see if it still holds up.

  2. There's a Clorox ad that has me a little befuddled. A man is mopping his bathroom floor, presumably with bleach. Then later a woman and a child are exiting the bathroom. A toilet flushing can be heard in the background. The woman says to the mopping man, "He almost made it." Is the implication that the child threw up or did he do something else? 

  3. I was watching one of the color episodes before work the other morning. The addition of color only illuminated how cheap the sets were. The stone fireplace in Andy's house looks like painted Styrofoam. The tone totally changed in the later seasons. The show became more of a "dramedy." And making Emmett Clark and Howard Sprague main characters really didn't work.

  4. Those clips of Tucker Carlson's starry-eyed interview with Putin really tested by gag reflex. Carlson looks more and more like Marcia Brady's drawing of George Washington/Mrs. Denton every day.

    And yes, I don't think Trapper ever said where he was from in the series.  

    Doesn't Trapper tell the soldier with hysterical paralysis that he's from Boston? 

  6. Ugh! I swear the commercial for Fage yogurt that features the famous aria "Un Bel Di, Vedremo" from "Madame Butterfly" aired at least 1400 times while I was watching reruns of "Modern Family" on the E! Channel last night. That is an absolutely beautiful piece, but hearing it so many times was overkill!

  7. I enjoyed the special last night, especially the segments showcasing each character. I had seen most of the interviews before. One point that the special really drove home was that we will never see a show like M*A*S*H ever again with its unique blend of humor and heart ache. It's also apparent that the actors really loved each other and that affection bled through their on screen characters. I feel very privileged that I grew up watching this show. It still makes me laugh and cry today.

    I was watching as well!  The early episodes do a great job of allowing the relationships to grow naturally.  Ritchie discovers that Fonzie will be spending Christmas alone.  Howard doesn't want to get involved and is honest about that.  It's only after some back and forth that Howard invites Fonz to the Cunningham's house.  

    This one actually made me a little teary-eyed. But that was one creepy-ass Santa the Cunninghams had in their yard!

    I'm a horrible horrible person for this but I can't watch the shriners christmas commercial asking for donations. Cozy tv they shos it at least once every half hour. I have to turn down the volume. And it goes on forever.  

    And that blanket you get for giving $19 a month is not that adorable.

  10. After Margaret returns from Tokyo and she's gushing on and on about Lt. Col. Donald Penobscott, she says that he calls her his "Little Plebe." We never actually heard him call her that.
