However, they rely on electricity to ignite the heating system." Maybe that's what it is.
Still electricity through a transformer (AA battery strength). Gas and electric don’t play well together.
Too great a risk for catastrophic explosion.

It's a minor nitpick but I'm not sure how Jay and Sam could be shocked by the water heater. It's clearly a gas heater, I'm not sure why electricity would be hooked up to it. It's older than dirt, it can't possibly be an electric water heater.
I said that the episode was so good, I forgave the writers for that (above). I actually caught it just as Jay was thrown across the basement. It doesn’t even need transformed electricity (like your LP gas grill-AA battery, or doorbell) because it has a pilot light. They needn’t have had the issue at all if they didn’t have Nancy’s line reference to a gas-related part-because I loved her quip about having to dumb down her instructions.

It Jay could see the ghosts all the time the show would be cancelled since the whole point would be gone and the main cornerstone to most of the comedy. And THAT would make Utkarsh very VERY sad.
It was fine the character of Jay got a brief glimpse to put faces to names but that is more than enough. Anything else in that regard completely ruins the show. And a big time hit show that every actor dreams of so please do no make Utkarsh sad by having the show cancelled because Jay can suddenly see ghosts all the time.
But wait, consider the possibilities. It would still be only Jay and Sam vs. the rest of the population- think of how the ghosts would “work” the situation, playing Sam against Jay, vice versa.

But it was really great while it lasted, wasn’t it?

Judge Crawford is played like he's the Devil. It's way over the top. Nobody acts that creepy IRL.
ME is very proficient at projecting an evil persona. He’s also expert at masking one behind benevolence as well.

They call her character Olivia.Something wrong here. My edit isn’t working. It’s supposed to say Olivia.
Oh no the system is deleting a word. Possibly a forbidden word?
But that makes no sense as that term is used on the SVU board.
This site doesn’t like iPad keyboard functions. I have a hard time even reading a thread as it reloads due to error every 30 seconds or so. Near to impossible to complete a post, and most recently, I have been getting dumped off with message-site crashed.

This was such a satisfying, heartwarming, funny episode that by the end of it I forgave the writers for their big initial mistake of making it a gas water heater.

That was the first movie I ever saw Kristoffer Polaha in and I was like “who is THIS?” I liked him immediately and he is an absolute favorite of mine now.
Just wanted to let you know, A Veteran’s Christmas is scheduled for Sunday 12/22 at 6pm on HMM. It’s one of my faves, and I usually watch it every year. Guaranteed: tears at the end.

Yup. Harmon became producer by season 5, and David North, who is the creator of this show, has been on the mothership since the first season. And if they can't remember, just go to Paramount + or Hulu and pull up the episodes that explored Gibbs' past.
So, how much turnover in writers occurred for OG NCIS? I can’t imagine even one lasted 20 plus years. O

It kind of annoyed me, too, that we were having to rehash, again. Pretty quickly though, it started answering questions we’ve been puzzling over. This was a really heartfelt episode. Glad Lala changed her mind. Loved the reveal that he didn’t fail the psych eval, or was that Franks lying to him? For anyone who needs the content of the two shredder strips:
”operation Sundown a catastrophic mishandling of”
and
”Bugs” Boyd had worked closely with a second sniper

This was an emotional episode. I’m glad that no one was to blame for the lack of communication in the end, and that everyone involved mustered up some forgiveness. Laughed at the lit agent’s thought he could order martinis in a diner. Also found it unusual for an intervention in the same diner.
Glad Nick has found some love on the show, as there’s none to be had here.

I watched it on Prime with subtitles, because I couldn't figure out what word Santa yelled out to the reindeer. It's apparently Kavalame, a made up word.
This website theorizes that it's something to do with a town Kavala in Greece. I guess it's near Myra where St. Nick is from? Weird for them not to explain it in the movie.
I just figured that the super tech/genetic reindeer had been well-trained, and that was their “Dash Away” equivalent. Sadly, I expected them NOT to respond to the witch, and was disappointed when they raced off.

This was enjoyable from start to finish. They seemed to incorporate every bit of “Santa Lore” out there in a very logical way, and by the end of the movie, they pretty much answered every question the nay-sayers pose for the belief in the big guy. Simmons nailed the part and I really enjoy watching DJ’s movies because of the dry wit and sarcasm written into his lines. I can see this becoming a classic must watch, for the humor mostly. It’s not going to give you warm fuzzies like the first viewing of The Santa Clause, but it’s creative and humorous.

Just saw an ad for Friday airing of AN EXTENDED VERSION of the Chief’s movie. This sort of indicates the network viewed this movie as the “hit” of the season. Truthfully, I never could identify any additional scenes in the 3 Wise Men extended version.

Same here, knowing I wouldn’t see the finale, and the contest tasks were lame.

Everything was great about The Santa Class. This and Hanukah on the Rocks are my top two this year.
I’m also really into Mistletoe Murders
Just finished ranting about not buying streaming on the other thread. I’m hoping that after the initial bait value wears off it will appear on HMM. Maybe next year to tease a second season on the streaming. I can wait-seems like time flies with age.

Debut a new show on a streamer if you want,
They are actually doing plenty of this, too. I am glad they’ll continue The Way Home where it began. I already pay for Hallmark content (3channels) through my satellite provider, so I don’t feel like I should pay them more.

chicken out with their remarriage news.
Yeah, Baez should have been there, but I get delaying Erin and Jack’s news. With the addition of the high chair, it was a “big reveal”, and Erin didn’t want to “bomb” the moment. (Like when someone proposes at a wedding.)

I actually had one disappointment. When I saw the title, I knew some character wouldn’t survive. I expected to see the “end of duty” broadcast. It would have been up to Jamie and Eddie’s boss to do that.

Yeah, I wondered about that as well. I think she was shot in the shoulder or arm, but I guess she fully recovered in what, an hour or so?
The episode was fairly meh. Even with killing off Eddie's partner, and shooting the Mayor, the stakes felt very low, and everything was resolved way too easily.
On the positive side, I did like seeing the one last family dinner, even if that felt rushed as well.
Well, she did say the bullet just grazed her arm, but even if she was treated in outpatient, she’s not getting discharged that quickly.

It did appear on Hallmark channel in the past few weeks, but not repeated.

That was a good ending to bring everyone together into one story for the finale.
So sad for Eddie's partner dying.
Family dinner having everyone was nice.
Yes, but the camera work around the table was too fleeting. They could have paused a bit on the rarely seen faces while proceeding with voices of the characters we always see.
It took halfway through the hour to make all the character connections and figure out what was going on. Also, one minute Eddie is a patient, the next, she’s fully outfitted, in the middle of an ambush?

Within corporate/parental/societal/medical culpability, there’s no one entity solely to blame. When lawyers get involved, the finger pointing begins. The drug companies would prefer the blame falls somewhere other than on them.

I was so upset by that! What depraved person would handle vinyl in that way?!?
This must be a generational thing.
Of course it is. If you never had to care for vinyl, and only handled discs, how could you possibly know?

S04.E08-E09: A Very Arondekar Christmas Parts 1&2
in Ghosts (US)
We’ve all agreed this is nitpick writer error. The only thing you need to turn off to service a gas water heater is…the gas supply.
