I really felt awful during the Burt Reynolds interview. He looked so very old and frail, it's kind of a shock to see him now. I think it was probably a very difficult interview for Stephen under the circumstances, and that was why they had all those stills ready from Burt's career. I'm not saying it's a mental issue, but I think Reynolds may be having a lot of issues just getting around, they didn't even show him walking to the desk. What a contrast from John Cleese, who's only a few years younger but was so full of cheer and energy on Friday. I was very moved by Stephen's segments in tribute to France, both on Friday at the end and starting off on Monday. They did a great job paying tribute in Monday's opening. Commenting on a tragedy has to be one of the toughest things any nightly host has to deal with and I thought he did an admirable job. On a lighter note, I thought the aristocats segment was hilarious also.

The Thanksgiving night repeat is a really entertaining show.

That last one they might save for the season finale maybe! Since we are already in sweeps correct? I sometimes don't give this show enough credit I think, I kind of was dissatisfied last week about the way they glossed over Sherlock not being prosecuted and the why of it....well we know now. I even forgot all about the dead rat, of course it turned out to be important. I like the way Sherlock asked Joan how she felt about dissecting it!! I was kind of hoping for some sort of Gregson and Bell cameo this week but I imagine they will make up for it next week.

Thanks much Eln5, I should be able to get that over TW Cable. Of course my Tivo didn't tell me that either when I checked just now. If CBS is going to preempt a new show like this, they at least should run it late at night or over the weekend on that station so people can record it.

I just meant I don't think it's snowed as much here compared to maybe five or ten years ago, that's all. It does seem to me sometimes that the outer boroughs get more snow than Manhattan does.

Looks like CBS is pre-empting this for a Jets/Bills football game in New York? Are other people seeing it on the schedule? I wish they would set a time to rerun it.

There was a guy (adult) going to a Halloween party in my apartment building and he had a cute costume, a suit with a fedora and a big sign saying "PRESS" in the hatband and under his jacket - a Superman shirt peeking out.

I just saw that! Good for Stephen. They are also having a special Sunday episode of Corden to follow.

thanks nowandlater, I didn't realize that CBS had free episodes online. That does make it even stranger that they won't bother to put clips up, I agree.

Does this have anything to do with CBS' very possessive attitude about CBS All Access? I wouldn't sign up for it even for a free tryout because they demand your name and date of birth (no thank you, I already had to take out a credit freeze due to my health insurance company's data being hacked). I wonder if CBS doesn't want to give away clips. I agree it's a very bad attitude. I tried once to go on Youtube to find the opening of Stephen's show that I missed one night, and they didn't put it up. I also very much enjoyed the segment with Aziz and his dad, too bad it's not online...for whatever reason.

I agree that Stephen's open window looked scary. I worked on the 27th floor of a newer building until last year and there was no way those windows would open. Hope the windows will stay closed. However, I do feel the show is getting more spontaneous over all, and while the interviews are sometimes short, they are entertaining. Bruce Campbell attempting to imitate Stephen at his desk was funny maybe because it was kind of awkward, but apparently it was a spur of the moment thing as far as I could tell.

The story was a good one, it kept me involved. I felt so awful for the victims in the very beginning. The Tony/Jeanne followup was well played. I did wonder where they were going with Gibbs, at one point where he's looking at the screen I was hoping his lack of concentration wasn't indicating some sort of memory loss. I also wonder why if Gibbs needs to talk out his problems, why he can't do it with Ducky, who has psychological training and knows Gibbs as well as anyone apparently.

Sorry if this has come up before but where in the city is the brownstone supposed to be located? I started wondering while watching some more early episodes and noticing some snow scenes. It hasn't snowed much in Manhattan in the last few years so I wondered if they film the show elsewhere? Also, I liked the episode "Details" featuring Bell, from Season One. Has his brother made another appearance?

Great news, thanks. It's sad that most of Carson's black and white New York shows are lost. In some ways I think they were funnier, what with Ed's "How cold is it" to Johnny, for instance.

Oh, that's interesting Rinaldo, never heard that story before. Thanks

Has there been any indication whether they will show all of the Carson shows as filmed? There always seems to be a tendency to cut musical numbers due to copyright reasons.

Thanks very much JTMac99. I almost never post as "myself" (I belong to a small art organization and post their Facebook page for them, but I deliberately keep my name out of it). However I'm always taken aback by constant posters and it does make it hard to see what you are looking for. I still don't know what to do about the Flickr admin guy. If he had insulted me that way on this board, he would have been disciplined, but whom do you go to when it's the admin who is so blatantly insulting over something you never asked about? I'm just afraid of other photographers whom I respect seeing me leave. I don't want to look petty, but I'm really offended.

I'm never sure about ignore/block/unlike on the internet. I'm really cautious about who I friend on Facebook, because once I friend them it can turn out that they post constantly and drive me crazy, and then I get the idea that if I "unfriend" them they will see it. It's especially bad with a relative. Speaking of Pet Peeves, there's a guy over at Flickr who was incredibly rude to me about a week ago. He actually insulted my intelligence on a subject I know something about (photography related). He was also answering a question I didn't ask and while I didn't say that to him, just that I had tried what he suggested already, thanks anyway, he wouldn't let it drop, he just insulted me. Yes, this guy doesn't really know me, but he's the admin for his group, so if I leave it, he'll see it and I don't want to get into a flame war that other people can see. Not sure what to do. At this point I just didn't respond, so people are going to see his rudeness for itself, but it doesn't make me feel very good.

That's a major pet peeve of mine when I'm reading any kind of story online. Sometimes I am on the web late at night and the last thing I want is some loud video starting up. It's easy enough for them to just put a start button if they want to.

I think there was also some confusion as to Laura's maiden name, I remember hearing it as Meeker in some episodes and Meehan in others? I think it mainly came up when the in-laws would visit so not very often. I think they settled on Meehan but I could be wrong about that.

There used to be storage lockers in Grand Central Station *many* years ago, I can barely remember seeing them, I was probably a teenager, but I think they cost about a quarter to use at the time - I am sure they were eliminated for reasons of security - you have to wonder if that issue would also come up with this idea. If I needed a storage locker I'd want my own, not one that was randomly used by someone else as they made it seem. I also can see the doormen's union in New York protesting this.

Maybe it's the show itself that needs a shakeup. I'm no entrepreneur, and figuring out the math on these deals is not my strong point, but I would like to see a lot more of the sharks explaining what it is that makes each one of them suitable for the business in question. I know they try to do this sometimes, but most of the time they get interrupted by some other shark saying "Make a decision now or I'm off the table" or "I'll lower the offer by x amount, but you have to tell me now" (a Lori specialty). If the show was changed so the entrepreneurs got to hear all the offers with no ultimatums, we might not have so many deals going to the lowest bidder. I do feel bad for Robert, I can't remember the last time he got a deal on his own. He just seems to let himself get undercut. Maybe he and Kevin don't care enough to lower their offers, but it makes the show dull when you can predict how each segment is going to end up.

It certainly seemed to me that the New Orleans segment was filmed over the summer, when it is very hot and humid there (notice Stephen's light colored suit). I've seen the clip of Stephen's interview with Jon when they first met on TCR and they seemed quite at ease with each other for having just met, so maybe it's true that these bits they are doing currently are something they are still working out and are scripted rather than improvised. I'd be willing to give it a little more time to get sorted out, along with other segments they're experimenting with. It's still only been two months. The Harry Potter segment did give me a lot of laughs, flubs and all, and I've never read the books either.

Thanks ABay, now I will have to go looking for those objects you mention!

Totally agree, I loved the way they played the scene in which Sherlock tries to provide for Watson, but she tells him she is going where he's going, and his look of surprise that she won't be a police consultant without him. Their relationship is the best part of the show for me as well.
