    Pre internet I don't remember a controversy, like a lot of genre shows of that time War of the Worlds had soft reboots after every season so besides the breakout actor the last episode rarely looked like world of the pilot. By the end with Colonel Ironhorse killed off, maybe a black doctor, a show becoming more white would mark it today.

    If memory serves, the violence and them showing the aliens dissolving into goo when they died was a big thing. In last night's ep, for example, a threesome possessed members of a prison hockey team and one of them tore a man's arm off while practicing for a match and threw it across the rink. Funny enough, the producer who changed the show in the second season also produced the Friday the 13th TV series, which also had a lot of gore and violence.

    "Rich Old Stewie"

    Stewie's future life could not be going any better, living as a wealthy, old Mr. Burns-type man, until his retirement is interrupted by Brian, who brings news that Peter is dying.

    Strange ep, but I had it pegged as being a dream or something. TBH, I wasn't expecting it to be very good before they began with the Citizen Kane opening scene.

    The guy who appeared on WWHL with Sandoval last night made a little jab about how ugly her hat was when she was having the breakdown, and Flat Iron was silent, but steaming.  I’m sure this guy, I forgot his name, just doesn’t, like, take hats seriously, like literally at all.  (He likely doesn’t take playing the trumpet seriously enough either).  

    I only caught the beginning of "WWH!". I have no clue who he is, but Satan Andy desribed him as some sort of podcaster who was a fan of this show.

    I don't care very much about the new kids either.  I can't tell the new guys apart, and frankly, the story about the kitchen staff (chefs, sous-chefs, dishwashers, etc.) would be much more interesting to me.

    Heh. That reminds me of when one of the girls (Stassi or Kristen, I think) quit and they showed the dishwashers high fiving each other. 😀

     Reza makes my skin crawl. He's aging badly, there is no way he lost 50 lbs, dude looks chunky to me. 

    That's because it was facial hair.

    "Ex-Best Man, Ex-Best Friend". Jax kicks Sandoval out of his wedding party and may disinvite him from Kentucky altogether.

    I think I'm going to have to watch this one again b/c I am having trouble remembering much, other than the dramatics over whether FI Tom will be a groomsmaid and everyone prattling on about who should apologize to whom.

     

    That girl claiming she never ate pasta before sounded familiar, for some reason.

    Christmas movies I loathe: most of Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Carol.    

    Christmas vacation, I like when he turns on the lights, and the electric company has to turn on more power, and when the lights blast the neighbors across the street.  

    On a similar note, I cannot stand movies with Chevy Chase, even the ones I used to like. Was he always this asshole mugging for the camera?

    IOW, it was somewhat a late 20th century, Latin solo trope that the mid 20th century Sound of Music somewhat epitomized, IMO.

    The latter movie evolved/devolved from an already sanitized, saccharine bio by Maria Von Trapp who made it seem as though she was the sole savior of the late Baron and his children by his first union . The movie depicted it as though that they all LOVED singing from Day One and were eager to become singers solely out of wanting to share their talents with the world. In truth, she was a novice nun who'd been sent to help care for one of the Baron's semi-invalid daughters then married the Baron despite admitting that she only did it due to her Mother Superior's command and only learned to love him after she had learned to love the children. Moreover, the double-whammy of the loss of the Austrian Empire (with the Republic of Austria no longer having any seaports or coastline) resulting in the end of the Baron's naval career  AND the Depression wiping out virtually all of their funds, Maria had her stepchildren sing for their supper rather than just out of the love of singing. Oh, and they were married in 1927 but the NAZIs didn't take over Austria until 1938 (when they had had two children of their own) but not only were the Von Trapps depicted as having to flee after their honeymoon but their own elder two children  having been born was omitted.. It would have been a more interesting movie had they been depicted adding children to an already large family with dwindling resources then  having to make their career due to losing their monies and then becoming refugees in the US while touring the world singing Austrian folk songs- with Maria ruling them with an iron hand but that's not what we got.

          IMO, the best part of the movie was the opening flight through the Austrian Alps & countryside . Moreover, hearing those Alpine winds blowing & bird songs was more satisfying than virtually all the songs thereafter (though I do like the title opening song, "Something Good" and "Edelweiss"). 

    I did not know that!

    One thing I learned during my trip to Germany is that at the end of SoM, the family is fleeing Austria in the wrong direct. I think the tour guide said they were heading towards Adolph Hitler's castle! 😀

    I've never seen a Daniel Craig Bond movie. I stopped being interested in them during the Pierce Brosnan years.

    TBH, I lost all interest in 007 movies once the Cold War ended.

    I generally don't mind the Lil' Sweet ads, but there is one that bugs me.  A woman has finished painting a room when he appears leaving a Lil' Sweet sized blank spot on the wall and then he goes off riding on the roller leaving a paint trail behind him.  So, not only does this woman have to repaint a wall but also has to clean paint off of her (wood) floor.

    How did she not notice him standing there? Does he have a +20 Stealth roll?

    The reason MJ hasn't been on the show is because was on bed rest - but also- she was the only cast member not to sign on for the new season. She felt that she deserved more money. Reza accused MJ of plotting off screen (.i.e. with the Adam drama) as a way to get herself back on the show. But I think he was upset that MJ thought she deserved more money. Something tells me that Reza made the most because he's always referring to the show as his.

    The show was kind of slow without MJ - as we can see - and Bravo gave her more money and she came back. This bruised Reza's ego, as Bravo giving MJ more money confirms that she is a vital part of the show and it isn't just Reza's.

    So, yes, MJ does come back.

    But until she does, Reza's going to badmouth MJ as much as possible.

    Yeah, I always wondered where the Easter Bunny was supposed to have gotten the eggs.  Luckily my parents didn't try to have us believe the Easter Bunny was real so no mental gymnastics were required.

    The motivational speaker one is poorly conceived, in my mind, though I could be overthinking it.  It's not clear to me what they are saying is the reason he's a bad motivational speaker.  His nose is growing because he doesn't believe the things he's saying.  So can't he just change his spiel so that he's saying things he does believe?  Is that what makes him a bad motivational speaker?  The fact that he can't even come up with a pitch he believes?

    Or is it that the people in the audience have no potential, and the "lie" is external to whatever Pinocchio believes, so these people are exposed as failures in life even if Pinocchio doesn't think they are?

    Or are they saying that all motivational speakers are liars and Pinocchio can't do a job that requires lying?

    And also, was this his first time doing it?  If not, why continue this endeavor if your nose keeps growing?

    If memory serves, Pinocchio's nose didn't grow until he told those two losers they could be successful,  embarrassing everyone involved. Up until that point,  things were fine, so I think he made the mistake of selecting losers to point at during his speech instead of people who he believed in.

    So I have to wonder if Justin Guarini could be cringing all the way to the bank re his Lil Sweet gig for Dr. Pepper?

    I'm wondering ob the woman following him into the air duct at the end of one Diet Dr Pepper commercial.

    I don't get the Canada Dry ginger ale commercial. I don't know why he sounds like Antonio Banderas but looks like a Tibetan monk but advertises Canada Dry...I truly would appreciate an explanation. Isn't he also in a shopping mall at one point? WTF?

    I don't like that zen bastard,  but in one commercial,  he claims he got into the house via the cat door, while standing in front of some open sliding glass doors.

    Does anyone know what's in the Geico gecko's biscuits/cookies?  Cinnamon, nutmeg or both?

    Dooh! I just realized the Geicko gecko brought them cookies, not the American meaning of "biscuit "! I wondered who the hell put spices in those? 😃

    The Banana should have spent less time trying to bend at the waist, and more time hiding himself behind the asparagus.  In the most recent commercial, the Banana is missing.  Rest in Peace Banana, you will be missed.🍌😢

    That banana probably ruptured his peel open and died after trying to do situps without a waist.

    The Reese's commercial advertising the chocolate/peanut butter Easter Bunny - what the hell does "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye have to do with chocolate Easter bunnies?  
    I get they were doing something similar around Valentine's Day and kind of got the connection of the chocolate and peanut butter "getting it on" to make a Reeses', but seriously??? 

    I remember when Reese's candy was created by someone holding a chocolate bar bumping into someone holding an open jar of peanut butter!

    The bladder control undergarment commercials make roll my eyes

    First:  The one where a woman wearing a tight, white skirt is is worried about it be visible through her clothes.  It shows her backside in the skirt at the end and....no visibility, which I find hard to believe.  Unless the skirt is lined, I would think even regular patterned underwear would show through white material, let along a puffy, crinkly, flower-bedecked bladder control one.

    Second: the one picturing a sweaty, frizzy-haired overweight woman taking an exercise class juxtaposed with a tall, slim, skinny-jean wearing young mother playing with her toddler.  Maybe I'm nitpicking and I'm not someone whose easily offended, but for some reason the choices they used to portray the two women bother me.  Yeah - I am nitpicking.

    The one that annoys me is the bride and groom doing a "viral dance" b/c I hate when people try to make that shit happen. Also, I am convinced David Tenneson's or Joel McHale is the groom but I can't get a good enough look at him to be sure.

    I can't imagine Brit dealing with not drinking during her pregnancies. I always thought she was borderline alcoholic. When her Dr. told her she had to stop drinking because she was having some sort of stomach issues she refused to do so. That was a couple of season's ago, we haven't heard about it since but she continues to be a sloppy drunk. Maybe Lala should have an intervention with her. 

    Did you mistype "LVP"? :-)

    That seriously looked gross! It literally looked like Sheena was "wiping" herself on his head! It was sick and if I were that guy I would have been like 'bitch, get off me!'

    "I Want You to Be My Muddy Buddy".

    As the gang prepares for a mud run, Destiney tries to apologize to Reza; GG undergoes the implantation process in her IVF journey; Mike faces his dad about a large business venture he's looking to pursue by himself.

    I only watched this ep until Family Guy started, but it's kinda sad that the sick 'possum was the most sympathetic thing I saw. I laughed a little when Reza said something like he likes when they all participate in "team building" activities because it serves as a break from their never-ending feuding. I have no clue how they're going to complete a Mudder Fucker race, tho. GG with a baby scares the crap out of me.

    I thought they said the song was "Still the One", by the Doobie Brothers (I think) but got confused when I barely recognized who they claimed was signing it.

    While I LOVE the Enchanted Forest,  and want to live there some day...Im getting tired of seeing it.  They just played it as an Extra Pulse not long ago,  and now this.  Oh well,  its ok. I like it,  its a fun ep.  I like it more as a Screaming Room ep.

    I got the impression they wanted a free day pass to the park.

    The entire segment at Britney's party and her meltdown ob people saying mean things ob it on social media contributed to my eye injuries last night. 🙄

  18. Bravo was playing the first season yesterday but I only saw the last two, when it was confirmed that Jaxx had cheated on Stassi. I found it funny that Frank was there b/c if memory serves,  it turns out she had been cheating with him! 🤯

    Anyhow,  the "finally" ended with the employees doing a sex photoshoot at successful businesswoman Lisa Vanderbucks's stately mansion but it seemed all sorts of weird. I thought they put the pics in a calendar,  like Hooters does, but apparently they do not. 🤨
