Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm not surprised by Highlander, since they started off with his epic romance with Tessa, which definitely wasn't for male viewers. And ST:TNG looked like they took the opportunity to acknowledge the female viewers they'd actually had all along, what with the Crusher and Yar. Troi, on the other hand, was not for us.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I like Romano. His stand-up is really good. Many episodes of his show were mediocre, but the best were hilarious.

I can't stand the big guy who was on his show--once I've hated someone's standup persona it's hard for me to watch them in sitcoms, and I really dislike his comedy stylings.

Yeah, him. Funny, I just went to google him, and "brad garrett racist" is one of the suggestions that pops up. I may like him even less now. Before it was just based on the faux-victimhood of his standup act.

I'd never seen it. I think they make believable brothers, though.

They both appeared at Montreal Comedy Festivals I attended. As well as being generally funny, Ray was nice to a mutual friend, which will win me over about every time. Brad had an oh-sorry-for-me-I'm-Jewish act, which I just didn't get the premise of. Jewish? In comedy? And he wants my sympathy?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Did it work, or did they go with the awful ads, or did they go with the decent ones but it still sounds "meh"?

The ads I've seen have been of the first variety, I'm glad to hear there were other possibilities (even if I haven't seen them). I wish I could remember what I was watching that the ads were in, I suspect that makes a difference as to which model was shown.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Finally saw the season finale of SoA. I mostly found it unsatisfying, but liked the scene with Tara demanding her respect from the hospital administrator.
