jima November 13, 2016 Share November 13, 2016 Favorite sketch: "Next Week In Review" from the Steve Martin/Blues Brothers show in 1978. Not only does Steve Martin get an epic punch line to set up, but his character's name is "Cocuwa", which he claims is Hawaiian for "To help without compensation", actually a description for the word "kokua". So he gets a laugh for an accurate Hawaiian word definition! Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/92469-extra-hot-great/page/89/#findComment-2742596

Flamingo November 17, 2016 Share November 17, 2016 I'm really late in coming back to say thank you to everyone for helping fill us in on the whole Sorkin/forum thing. I had heard it referenced on other podcasts and in comments in other places. I'm pretty sure it was actually Kevin T. Porter on his Gilmore Girls podcast. The West Wing isn't quite as bad as some of his other shows which I think the actresses, particularly Allison Janney, deserve credit for pushing their characters more out of the look-at-me-I'm-a-girl-and-great-at-my-job-but-absolutely-everything-else-in-my-life-I'm-a-disaster-at box he likes to use to box in female characters. I think The Newsroom is actually the worst. The ego it takes to get so upset to fight with people in the forums is mind boggling.

Flamingo November 18, 2016 Share November 18, 2016 Thanks for the information about Peter Thomas. I'm not much into true crime shows; but, I find Forensic Files weirdly soothing which I greatly attribute to Mr. Thomas. We always get a little tickled in our house when he conveys so much drama in the theory of the crime. LaCroix is gross. I'm always drinking club soda, seltzer water, Perrier, or San Pelligrino. One of my coworkers excitedly brought me a can of the mango. It had a wretched chemical flavor. Just get non flavored and add a piece of fruit.
