Teri Garr will always be John Denver's wife in Oh God! Loved that movie and I can't fathom anyone else in that role. She always spoke highly of John Denver when asked. Mad respect and love.

I liked this one and having a Vance heavy episode more than makes up for the Torres episodes.

I found myself openly mocking the shooting scenes. The whole series seems to have lost that magic. I think the writing is on the wall when Tracker is the lead in to this. I think I'm out. I love the Queen but a love triangle and Vi being reduced to kitchen scenes is sad.

The biggest laugh for me was the conversation about how dull the summer break seemed with a random line about drunk driving in Sag Harbor. Great episode, great fun

I watched the highlights of the Packers, Vikings and Lions games and was wonderfully surprised at how fun they were all to watch. I can never root for the Falcons due to them beating the Vikings in an NFC championship all those years ago. I must say, I've wonderfully avoided hearing Tom Brady call a game yet. Also, it's been a huge pleasure to NOT hear the hideous noise of Buck/Aikman on any game I have watched. I also must admit that watching the highlight reels of whatever game I want to watch really works for me now. Investing three hours into a game just seems draining now. Yeah, the Vikings look hot now but we all know what has a great chance of happening but I'll enjoy the watchable football for now.

The larynx conversation reminds me that I saw a video on FB from last year of ME ranting against Jeopardy for calling those of us that are particular about "anxious/eager"usage as "language fussbudgets". I rarely rant in my FB videos so for me to do that, the show must have pissed me off...LOL... I did okay on yesterday's show but I was yelling "Desolation!!!" several times. Dylan's relevance faded a bit I guess.

Good, I can enjoy my show again...till someone else annoys...LOL!

I find myself zoning out for much of Jeopardy lately. I really don't like the current champ. I'm sure he's smart but the vibe of him being some amazing trivia warrior doing battle just irks me. A smile and a simple head shake are all you need to acknowledge you won. His theatrics and self applause turn me off.

As someone who has known a couple of people killed by drunk drivers, I have no sympathy. I also don't think in this day and age, people can shrug it off as "ahh..everyone has one, no big deal". Uber, Lyft, cabs, and all the messaging about drinking and behaving responsibly aren't new. Justin should have known better. One of his friends should have grabbed the keys even. It's not that hard to formulate a plan. I think aside from the act is his complete disregard for the impact this will have on his wife and kids. His first thought wasn't his kids being without a dad or his wife being a widow, it was about the tour. I do wonder if Justin and Jimmy Fallon are a bad influence on each other in their partying ways but that's just speculation on my part.

It's not just the black patriarchy but there's some weird Hollywood thought that if an actor of some caliber is brought down by misdeeds, we still must respect the art and the legacy of that art. It has value and we SHOULD seperate the artist from the such cases. I have never understood that. If a plumber goes on a shooting rampage, do we get interviews with people saying "He must be forgiven because we can't forget the awesome kitchen island he helped install."? No other industry places performance over the person and by doing that they give the artists a level of protection, those out of the spotlight aren't afforded. Then Hollywood has the gall to lecture the rest of us on proper attitudes on so many issues when they protect their own at all costs.

I'm sorta sad that Brandi Carlilse was a triple stumper. She's a talented musician who seems to make all the tribute shows I see.

I do wonder if the whole ME TOO movement has opened the eyes of aspiring talent. There's the magic of Hollywood and the reality. I wonder if the number of actors and other below the line personalities has shrunk in recent years. As much as the fight against AI rages, it may be needed as people realize what a cesspool the industry is.

I had my Jeopardy got pre-empted because of news. I did catch the YT video and I about died laughing when someone guess Third Day as a response to "Semi-Charmed Life". I loved Third Day. In the 90's ,they were a hot Christian Rock Band who meshed a sound of Black Crowes with Hootie and The Blowfish. They turned more to Hard Rock woworship music in the 2000's and called it quits a few years ago. Now, I need to hear Mac Powell's overly earnest voice attempt Semi Charmed Life. Sigh....

I thought this was a good episode but I have ONE nitpick. I got hooked on this show because of the rescues. Sometimes intense, sometimes sad, sometimes hilarious or over the top. Tonight, had two rescues. I found myself looking at the clock a lot and wondering where the rescues had really gone. Maybe two and even those scenes were cut short. Oh yeah, I am so over Eddie drama. He's just not that interesting to focus so much.

Aunt Vi's big plot of the night was peach cobbler???? I laughed way too hard when the dad said "You have a brother!". Seriously, this show is supposed to be about helping the little guy, not random family angst. Oh yeah, letting that kid go after he steals money from his own neighbors and then points a loaded gun while telling a sob story that no one can verify? How dumb do they want these people? Then, the promos show Fisk and I already will tune out. The cast is basically phoning it in at this point. They are a good talent pool with great chemistry saddled with bad writing and repetitive non-productive violence. It's not as cheesy as Walker Texas Ranger was in it's heyday but it's close.... Yep, I'm out...and this got renewed while So Help Me Todd got cancelled. Yep, I'm bitter.
