From Boy Meets World:

 

Moral of the story: don’t mess with someone’s food.

I'd hardly call a cafeteria hockey puck 'food' [ since I can't recall consuming a single edible 'hamburger' in any pre-college cafeteria- which usually ranked with Denny's if not lower in quality].

 

However, I agree in principle AND it was awesome seeing Minkus not only outsmart Shawn but derail Shawn from making future attempts at bullying despite Shawn (at that time) being somewhat bigger and taller than him [though the tables would definitely turn in adulthood]. I liked how there were signs that they had the potential to have become genuine friends later on (alas, between BMW firing Lee Norris after Season One and GMW being too unimaginative to have considered that for a character arc, it never got depicted).

Flashpoint the Good Citizen-I know we're not suppose to route for vigilantism but in the episode Bobby has enough with drug dealers in the neighborhood. They burned down his store in retaliation for standing up to them and his brother who he kept trying to get off drugs died of an overdose that morning. He beats up two drug dealers who came in to bust up the bar he was sitting in because the bar owner threw them out for trying to sell drugs in the bar the night before. Then decides to go after the brothers Grady and Dru who are selling drugs. Rich brothers who went into selling drugs. Bobby decides to make them pay by forcing Dru to do lines of coke. The entire stash. Grady points out that it'll kill his brother. Bobby points out if it was good enough for his brother then it's good enough for Grady's brother.  Not to mention everyone they sold to making millions?

Is it wrong that I like this plan too much? Forcing drug dealers to snort their own stuff?

It sounds like it perpetuates the cycle of violence and probably doesn’t really eliminate the drug problem in the area. Other than that, no.

It was both a funny and a “hell yeah!” moment for me but the flight attendant in the episode “Breaking Point” from S4 of 9-1-1 who lost her mind on her passengers and quit by going down the plane’s escape slide (based on a real life story) has to be one of my favorite opens of a show. If only because she fulfilled my dream of getting to rage on entitled customers. I’ve had similar thoughts at work all too often.

I love that one.

My favorite is Karma's a Bitch episode

A woman tries to shoot her abusive husband but misses and the bullet gets stuck in a tree. The woman then hangs herself from that tree and her husband doesn't even care that he drove her to do it. He tries to blow up the tree later on...and the explosion causes the bullet to fly out and hit him in the chest.

An arrogant fitness club owner left his dog inside a hot car and fired an assistant for breaking her out. The next day, that assistant comes in to pick up her last paycheck and finds the guy almost charred alive when his tanning bed broke.

A woman steals packages from the doors of people right after they've been delivered. She ends up falling and breaking her femur trying to carry one large package away and is arrested by Athena while lying in pain.

A dentist becomes hated for killing a lion during a safari trip. He ends up being mauled by a tiger at a zoo. The tiger he was throwing rocks at because the kids with him couldn't see the tiger.

Not the biggest fan in the world.

However, I couldn't help but be moved by the French-Canadian iconic singer Celine Dion's powerful and triumphant performance in Friday night's Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics!

Even if I had had no knowledge of how she's had very limited public appearances and performances in recent months due to her having to battle a neurological condition, it would have been quite a cathartic performance but since her recent health challenges ARE known, that makes it all the more vindicating!

I can't imagine how she managed to appear SO healthy and invigorated last night after so many months of battling that condition but somehow, somehow she did it and even if she has more issues in the future from that condition NOTHING can take away from how she DID shine on the literal world stage- not even the constant rain that poured down and that's something she and her loved ones can draw strength from in the future!

The answer to this is Ryan Murphy. One cannot apply logic to any project produced by Ryan Murphy. 

Ryan has gone on record stating that all of the crazy stuff on the two 9-1-1 shows are things that happened in real life. They deliberately researched the craziest calls they could find.

I don't think everything has but there is a lot of things that happen on the show that don't feel real but did happen.  Or close to it.

Yeah, there is always going to be dramatic license when ripping stories from the headlines or in this case trawling through thousands of 911 calls. I can buy Ryan Murphy and his team using real calls but padding them out to fit the narrative of the episode. Many of these calls are not going to have publicly available police reports or supporting local journalism to flesh out the story. And for the ones where there is reporting or criminal charges were brought and the case went through the courts, the show will change things to get the network's legal department to approve.

The early Fresh Prince of Bel Air episode where Will and Carlton get arrested while driving Phil's business partner's car to Palm Springs. Will immediately knows what's going to happen when they get pulled over. Carlton sadly doesn't even after they get arrested for stealing the car. The cops are clearly racists. Uncle Phil shows up and 

Vivian Banks: Who is in charge here?

Sergeant: I am.

Vivian Banks: Let those kids out.

Sergeant: These kids are car thieves.

Vivian Banks: And you have made a big mistake. Now, I don't know how you got that bogus confession out of them, but those two boys haven't stolen a thing from anyone. This has got to be the biggest amateur operation I have seen since Mayberry R.F.D.!

Policeman: Could you ask your wife to calm down?

Vivian Banks: Calm yourself, Barney Fife.

Phillip Banks: Vivian, please. Now officers, I'm sure we can clear this whole matter up quite easily.

Sergeant: Could you please sit down? We're busy now.

Vivian Banks: [removing earrings] Oh, honey, we're about to get very busy up in here.

Sergeant: [Threateningly] Sit down!

Phillip Banks: Hey! You don't talk to my wife like that.

Sergeant: Now, wait a minute, buddy, who the hell do you think you're talking to?

Phillip Banks: Who the hell do *you* think you're talking to?

Henry Furth: [walking in] What's going on here?

Sergeant: Can I help you, sir?

Henry Furth: I'm Henry Furth.

Sergeant: Good news, Mr. Furth. Your car is safe and sound, and we've got the perpetrators.

Henry Furth: Those aren't the perpetrators. Those are my partner's son and nephew.

Sergeant: [turns to Uncle Phil] Partner?

Phillip Banks: *Legal* partner. I've got a few questions for you. When you got this alleged confession from these two young men, did they have a lawyer present? No. Because I'm their lawyer. Did you notify their parents? No. Because we're their parents. So, officer, don't tell us to wait, and don't tell us to sit down. Just open that damn cell and let those two boys out of there, or I'm going to tie this place up in so much litigation that your grandchildren are gonna need lawyers!

Way to go Uncle Phil!

Back in the old days, every single episode of Emergency was based on an actual call found somewhere in a fire department's log.   So the lady who had to be cut out of her girdle?   True.    The kid who got his finger stuck in the gumball machine?   True.    Just as much as the big stories - Johnny gets bit by a rattlesnake, a plane crash, Johnny gets a concussion, lady trapped in a car with a downed live wire, Johnny gets ....

Friends: Ross is dating a beautiful coworker, and Rachel, being a jealous little pill, snipes that his new girlfriend is probably only competing with her friends on who can snag the biggest geek.

Ross just smiles and says “Fine by me, I hope she wins!”

I never thought I’d utter these words, but good for Ross! Ignoring for a moment that things do predictably tank later in the episode, this was a real good moment for him! He gave Rachel’s dog-in-the-manger crap the comeback it deserved, and he didn’t take the bait. Man, if we had more of this confident Ross instead of the one that kept getting sucked back into the toxic orbit of him and Rachel, things could have been so different.

Seems to be always overlooked just how horrible Rachel was to Ross's girlfriends. Julie included. She didn't seem to want him most of the time, but didn't want him with anyone else. Her character was so unlikable when she acted like this.

I hated Rachel when she was like that. She always came off like the bitter ex who didn't want him back and didn't want him to be with anyone else either. She wanted him to be alone and miserable. That was so crappy. And she was a main character.

That's how I felt about Doug and Carol on ER -- they were this supercouple viewers went gaga over, swooning when she gave up everything to be with him in Seattle after he ruined everything in Chicago, and I just thought, "Well, at least if they're together they're not being shitty partners to other people."  Because they both sucked as romantic partners.

That's how I feel about Carrie and Big. I wasn't excited to see them end up together as much as I felt they deserved each other for how terrible people they are and are to who ever they dated.

Gilmore Girls: We all agree that Rory sucks, but there were some moments when she got it right, and telling off Christopher was one of them.

 

A great moment for Rory. She was exactly right. Christopher of course continues to be an asshole and blames Lorelai for Rory telling him off. As if Rory couldn't possibly have any reason to be mad at him herself. Love Rory in this scene. Hate Christopher.

Never liked Christopher. Gotta add love for Emily in this scene. I'm sure she was sitting there taking it all in but once Lorelai said she couldn't do it and it was painful talking to him, Emily stepped in and took no prisoners. Christopher finally took the hint. Loved the Gilmore women telling that jerk off.

Too bad it didn’t last.

And it still infuriates me to this day that Christopher not only  assumed he had to just stick it out with Sherry just to be involved with the new baby’s life, but that he could still keep Lorelai as a side piece. Then again, what can we expect from the guy who was hooking up with Lorelai behind Sherry’s back? And he still wonders why Rory wasn’t so forgiving this time!

I can’t even be mad at Sherry for dumping Christopher’s ass two years later, even though she left poor Gigi high and dry. She at least did a better job atoning for her crappy behavior when Gigi was still a kid.

That's one of the things I hate most about Emily and Richard. Their constant fawning over Christopher who did nothing to support and/or raise the granddaughter they love so much while treating Lorelai who actually did all the work of supporting and raising Rory like shit. There's no excuse of that. Christopher was never there for Rory. There was nothing to keep him from doing anything for Rory and he didn't. Richard's not surprised that Christopher decided to stay and help Sherry raise their baby. Even though he did absolutely nothing for Rory and will continue to do absolutely nothing for Rory.

Buffy: Dawn reading Ben for filth after he sells her out to save his own ass, then has the nerve to lament that he wishes he had another way: “And I wish you’d fall flat on your face and drown in your own barf, so I guess we’re both disappointed.” Then telling him to fuck off and turn back into Glory because at least she’s more upfront about being a monster.

RIP Michelle Trachtenberg

And while we’re at it, let’s add Giles suffocating Ben after Buffy does the stupid hero thing of Sparing the Villain. All that whining and waffling the Scoobies did about “not wanting to kill a human” just made me roll my eyes, because Ben didn’t hesitate to summon a demon and kill Glory’s brain sucked victims and act like it was some big Mercy Kill—never mind the fact that it would cause their families even MORE pain, and more innocent people would get caught in the crossfire.

I’m sure Whedon wanted us to view Ben as some big tragic Nice Guy caught up in a bad situation, but actions speak louder than words. Dawn was right: all his wangsting didn’t mean a lick of spit when he ultimately sided with Glory. Giles did the right thing, and watching him kill Ben without so much as a blink was very, very satisfying.

Gilmore Girls: Another rare moment when Rory and Lorelei both got spectacularly told off:

It annoyed me that Lorelei had the condescending audacity to claim that Rory didn’t break up a marriage. Yes, Dean was equally guilty—and I like to think Lindsay’s mom gave him a verbal smack down too—but that doesn’t absolve Rory by a long shot. So yeah, good for Lindsay’s mom for being the one Stars Hollow resident not to mindlessly worship the Gilmore Girls and call them out on their crap.

Same!

I can't stand characters (and, if I'm being honest, people in IRL) like Rory: everything is a damned breeze, everyone readily blows smoke up their asses, the very concept of struggling is foreign to them, so when they do experience valid criticism, they are SHOCKED that someone could deign to dislike them!

Parents, praise your kids, but don't put them on too high a pedestal. The higher the fall, the bigger the hurt.

The same applies to Lorelei. Sure, she had to work a little harder than Rory, but she had the same entitled immature attitude. The whole world revolves around her and Rory, and she couldn’t be bothered to think about anyone else for more than five minutes at a time—bless you, Max Medina.

I was thinking of that while watching this (**** Jozsef Barsi)

Judith was asked to pro forma audition for Hider in the House, but she was always the first and intended choice for Holly. It's that audition which is the one that she didn't turn up for and when her agent called the Barsi home asking why, unusually it was Jozsef answering and he said to her that "a big car had taken Judith and Maria to San Diego" (they were both dead).

As seen here, Judith's TLBT co-star Candy Hutson played Holly instead.

Amen! I didn’t watch the show until years later and started to get annoyed right away with how Rory acted and was treated. Seriously? The whole town has to treat her like rainbows fly out of her ass? I guess I was supposed to see how charming and nice it was that the two of them had so much support, but I thought both were spoiled brats and that Rory was being set up for a fall. She wanted to be an international investigative journalist? As someone who spent years in journalism, I sort of shook my head at that.

It did give me some sort of relief when, no, Rory didn’t end up as the new queen of CNN or some sort of prodigy. No, just a very intelligent (but coddled) girl who ran into reality and had to adjust.

I felt the writers of GG missed a lot of opportunities with Rory: maybe she could have learned from her screw-ups, gotten over herself, picked herself up, and carved a new path for herself.

Or maybe become like, I dunno, Dee from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (but we all know that never would have happened).

And I don't care if this does me a snob or whatever: you couldn't pay me to live in Stars Hollow.

That immediately would have made Rory much better. I loved her in high school. But it got infuriating watching her go through life with nothing effecting her. She cheated with Dean while he was married. Except for Lindsay's mother calling her out. Lorelai also called her out for it went it first happened Rory dared to be mad at her mother and not speak to her all summer and go off to Europe with Emily. Rory learned nothing from it. She dated Dean and despite wanting Logan. A repeat of her dating Dean while wanting Jess. She learned nothing from any of that. She quits school because one person tells her she doesn't happen. That would have been a great time for her to explore whether or not she wanted to be journalist, explore other career paths and maybe pick a different career or learn to be better at the one she wanted. None of that happen. She enjoyed the rich life until Emily started to lay down the law and went back to school. Nothing came from it.

Aaaand here’s another moment from Gilmore Girls where Little Miss Rory got what she deserved:

If this had been Dean’s final moment in the whole show, it would have been perfect. Unfortunate the awesomeness of this moment is negated by everything that happened after, but he still gets credit for uttering the sentence neither of the Gilmore Girls heard as often as they should: “Somebody doesn’t like you for once!”
