I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

Sly? Tony Wicks? Sharky's?

T'was a childhood staple of mine. Enough of one, anyways, for it's last line to be floating on the surface of my memory.

HIMYM renewed.

Great news! I originally was only watching because of AH, but it really has become a very good show.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Yep, I'm definitely old. I'm so old I've never watched a single episode of "Saved By The Bell," not even ironically.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

The last time I went to a gig the guy who played Screech from Saved By The Bell was there.

HIMYM renewed.

Yay! All three of my must-see shows, and Supernatural (which is on its way to becoming a fourth), survived the bubble. Now it's down to second-tier watching like The Dresden Files for the network axe suspense.

Though I am sad The Class got cancelled.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Now it's down to second-tier watching like The Dresden Files for the network axe suspense.

Seriously! Would they just *tell* us already? I mean, we know about BSG, and considering TDF got better Nielson than BSG airing on the same night, this should be a no-brainer. But I am more concerned about TDF than I was about SPN.

What is even happening?

Oh my poor Jenna Fischer.

Extremely sad news for one of our TV faves.

I've just spoken with Jenna Fischer's representative who confirmed to me that the Office star slipped and fell down a marble staircase on Monday and fractured her lower back in four places.

Jenna was hospitalized Monday night and is now resting in her hotel room until she can regain enough strength to fly home to Los Angeles. She is expected to recover in about four to six weeks.

I'm told Jenna's close friend and costar Angela Kinsey (who plays Angela on The Office) did not leave her side Monday and Tuesday and that Jenna's husband, James Gunn, dropped everything and flew out here to New York to be with her.

I've actually seen the very stairwell where the accident happened (though I was not there at the time) and can tell you it is incredibly steep, especially for someone wearing high heels. It could have been any of us who walked those very same steps, and honestly, my heart just goes out to her. Jenna, best wishes for a quick and thorough recovery.
