There's one more episode.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
There were at least two or three episodes of The Waltons where the father and grandfather wanted to include one of the boys in some "manly" activity (hunting, having a shoot-out with the government, etc.) and the boy ended up wanting to do it, but ultimately not being able to (either because he couldn't or because he couldn't get past some ethical objection) and then he finally found some way to get the desired result by his own means (Ben, who couldn't shoot a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner, went to a turkey farm and bargained a really good price for one; John-Boy negotiated with the government people).
Also, lots of times there were conflicts between the people who lived way back in the mountains and were stereotypical hillbillies, and the people from the town, and the Waltons were kind of somewhere in the middle.

Our wings are not tired.
I just figured out that my earworm is the theme from The Waltons. Not awful, but not great either.
I'm going to have to get the DVDs now. During the summer we live next door to my parents and are always in search of family friendly entertainment. I know the boys will moan and groan at first, but they will end up enjoying it.

Raines online here: [link]
Ah, thanks for the link, Vortex. I have an unassailable and sort of mysterious-to-me attraction to Jeff G. I am enjoying the show so far.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Ditto thanks for the Raines link, Vortex. I missed the second episode.
A 7-episode season? WTH? Even Dresden Files got 11 episodes, and that was over way too quick.

A Martinez (in Raines) killed me dead, as he often does. Well, not often, because he's not on my TV enough. And the guy who played the victim in the ep? Rrrawwrrr.
I really like this show. Dammit.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
Not awful, but not great either.
I love this theme. When I first got the DVDs, I would play the theme while working on the computer. I may be just a tad touched in the head.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Oh before I forget again, on House did we ever learn why he got shot and who did it? Or has it been dropped completely?
For all I know, I missed the one episode where this was explained.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
As far as I can remember, we never learned who it was. I think it was mentioned offhand that the guy was in jail, but that's it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I don't recall finding out who or why. I also have no memory of the guy being sent to jail. I thought he was still out there somewhere.
