Gilmore Girls

Hell, I'll just post the clip. This judge is a goddess.

BOOM.

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).

Great job Minkus!

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.

Why do these sound like they could be summaries from episodes of an actual anthology/pseudo-docu series on Fox in the mid to late 90s called Karma's a Bitch, hosted by Mitch Pileggi?

Why would you blow up a tree instead of just cut it down?

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

[Blergh]

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!

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.

So lion killer really got eaten by a lion at the zoo? That's awesome.

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 ....

[Spartan Girl]

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.

I was glad they ended up together because that way they weren't unleashing their toxicity on other poor potential partners.

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.
