  1. It's a comedy. About ghosts.
  2. Just an offbeat connection that I made while watching the show: Delaware is Biden's adopted home state and Wharton is Trump's alma mater (and, like Trevor, he was fond of reminding people of it).
  3. I just assumed it was a nod to the actress' heritage.
  4. Will Gregory soon start feeling left out now that Jacob and Melissa are pals and have so much in common? He would have a hard time admitting that he missed Jacob. Guess he'll gravitate to the other odd man out, Mr. Johnson.
  5. This particular episode, to me, seemed to be written for a different audience. That schtick of overhearing and then misinterpreting a conversation is incredibly stale. Are they trying to appeal to people who are so young they haven't haven't seen much of it in their lifetime or to people who pine for the good old days of "I Love Lucy"? I hope this show can sustain its humor and avoid the pitfalls of other network shows that overstay their entertainment value. What I appreciate about some of the shows I've seen coming from the UK, AU, and NZ is that they're fairly quick--sometimes too quick--to pull their shows after a couple of seasons. Leave them wanting more, not asking, "Why is this show still on?" I like the twist of Pete's wife showing up. She's nearly 40 years older than he is; she could start try bossing him around like he's her son, not her ex, which would really throw him off.
  6. I give Barbara and Melissa's cynicism a pass. We've only known Janine and the gang a few years. These two women have known Abbott for at least 7 times that many years.
  7. I was thinking about Isaac and Nigel's wedding vows: "Till sucking off do us part"??
  8. Of COURSE Mr. Johnson is a Mormon.
  9. What I find distracting is Jake's haircut.
  10. Hetty's portrait, painted on the wall, is behind the mirror. Isacc telling an anecdote about James Madison's hunting print being too high to stare at for the "entire burn of a tallow candle". Pete: Ah, you guys did not have a lot do to back then, huh? Isaac: Other than invent democracy? Sass clears his throat. Isaac: Amongst Europeans.
  11. It's feasible that there could be a tunnel between two houses. Maybe it was used in the Underground Railroad. Maybe the speakeasy created the tunnel, as some speakeasies did. Maybe the light was an alien spaceship that took Flower away to study a human, not realizing she was a ghost. They would soon realize that she was not a good sample, and return her. No one would believe her story and she would wonder if her memory was merely a drug flashback. Absurd, but this is a TV show about ghosts.
  12. I waited for the entire two episodes for the details of Janine's marriage. It never came. It's not like me to catch things like this.
  13. Did you learn the Palmer Method? You had to write moving your entire arm, not just with your fingers as normal people do. Such a stupid waste of time.
  14. There's a whole lot of rotten and shallow going on with the characters on this show. Except for those under age 30, some of the staff, and Peggy, I have little respect for most of these people and find myself regretting that most will be dead before they can see World War I, the crash of '29, and the Great Depression whittle away so mch of their fortunes, not to mention the north-creeping urban population and retail businesses that will take over their neighborhoods. This show provides a good look at just how fleeting power, acquisitions, fortunes, relationships, etc., are. The elite of the Gilded Age, if able to look back at their lives over 140 years ago, would probably shake their heads at just how small and petty their lives were, as I do watching this show. For this reason, the putting life into perspective and the history, I enjoy watching this show. Now, to the episode. When Agnes made the comment about friendships being heriditary, I got a chuckle out of Marian's very subtle near-eyeroll. She just sort of deadpanned a "Kill me now" look across the table. Marian's gotten pretty feisty. I was surprised to hear her talking to the servants about looking for other jobs and also at her standing up to Agnes so much. Of course, considering her financial situation, I think much credit has to go to Agatha for allowing Marian a streak of independence, much as Agnes doesn't like it. I have had a problem throughout this series with two of the characters. Charles, Aurora Fane's husband, looks like he should be playing her son, not her husband, and Oscar looks like he should be Agnes and Ada's brother, not son. Every time I see each character, my mind has to do a reset and either add or subtract years to or from them.
  15. I would think that vessel sinks might not be a good thing if you're short.
  16. https://www.techradar247.com/2023/07/26/my-life-is-murder-season-4-release-date/ The article has some confusing sentences, I think, like seemingly talking about a main Season 1 character as not returning in Season 4. I'd like to see the Harry character return. I liked the way he and Alexa fake-flirted with each other.
  17. Hanoi Billy was supposedly a wildlife photographer in Thailand, but he'd been working at an elephant sanctuary when they first met. He doesn't want to move out to the "sticks", which I would think would bring him a lot closer to wildlife than the city would. And now he's a "teacher". I think the boy is shiftless.
  18. Yikes. Hopefully, she didn't get into too much debt.
  19. Lately, I've been barely watching HH or HHI. From time-to-time in the past, I have quit watching for months at a time. So sick of hearing the same descriptors and phrases: "I'm not a fan of" [you're not allowed to say "I don't like"], "deal breaker", "wow factor", "modern farmhouse" [vertical, wide, and almost always white board and batten siding and 2 stories seem to do the trick], "outdated" [not the latest soon-to-be-outdated trend]. What people want is frequently what they've apparently seen on TV, or, in other words, tomorrow's "cookie cutter" requiring a "complete gut". Often I have wondered how many other people listen to house hunters declare their need for more room for their shoes and clothes and think that this does not reflect well on their values. Yeah, sometimes I'm too serious. I would love to see a House Hunters series, at least for a few weeks, of non-North American people purchasing homes in the US. I'd like to hear their comments about our homes, and what they'd do to make the home more to their liking.
  20. I had to rerun the show when I heard that was a 2004 home. It looked like something built decades earlier and wasn't at all taken care of. When was the last time a woman looked at a typical bedroom closet and declare it a "good size"? That was different. I thought I'd gone through an entire episode about someone buying her first home for her and her kids without hearing the phrase "generational wealth". But, nope, it didn't happen. Out of curiosity, I wanted to see what kind of home $520K would get you in my region. This is nearly 2700 sq ft, 4-2-2, $515K. Built in 2003. [Builder grade interior, but clean and well-maintained. No ocean for hundreds of miles, only scenery is sky and tops of trees, back yard not much more than a large covered patio.] I wonder what this house would sell for in southern CA?
  21. San Diego to Madrid I thought the couple was fine. He was still coming to terms with the new lifestyle in Madrid, adjusting his mind to living in a smaller place, even living in the city. He was clearly the homebody and stated that they ate at home a lot. She was all on board and was more interested in living in Spain (and eating out), and not having Spanish charm inside the place that they got. They were pleasant and pleasant with each other. They had some pretty decent places to choose from.
  22. It was dilapidated and dangerous, but it also housed the book. It no longer served a purpose as others will know of the stories it contains. Now they need to digitize the damned thing. I don't normally pay much attention to actors' talents; I've never been one to recognize anything but incredibly bad acting. But Leah Purcell's performance was so convincing. She's the director of "My Life is Murder" as well.
  23. They showed a picture from when they first met. She definitely aged differently than he did.
  24. Raleigh I was impressed when they looked at the loft and designated it as a room for Camden. They also talked about a room off the kitchen where he could play and they could hear him. Grandmother/mother showed no tendency to be a helicoptering parent! (Yeah, I know she's parented before, but this kid's circumstances were special and I could see even a seasoned parent becoming a major worrywart.) So kudos to her.
  25. Kitchen-wise, this lady wanted whatever was considered "the latest" on HGTV, and neighborhood-wise, I think she wanted something from an early 1960s TV show.
