We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

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

Can you explain how she's a pregnant virgin?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I don't remember what the spoiler policy is in here, so:

She is involved with a mix-up at her ob-gyn's, and is inseminated.

It's very much a telenovela. With a fabulous narrator.

Hmm. Maybe I'll look. Pretty sure if that's aired, that's blackfont.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

It's pretty funny. And perfectly cast.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Ran across some old eps of the Jack Benny show. Comic genius. One sketch in particular, in which Jack crashes a set where Jimmy Stewart is filming his new movie, was beyond priceless.

I am also convinced that Stephen Colbert took at least a little of his persona from Jack.

Is anyone watching blackish? I've watched a few eps, and they just repeated the "nod" episode this week--that concept I really liked, because it's TRUE. There's a nod. I'm the least African American black citizen, and I know there's a nod.

Disabled people do it too, ita. Although I had to learn that from getting one a few times...I didn't have a family example for it.

Is anyone watching blackish?

I am, but I'm behind as I am with most TV. The fourth episode (Crazy Mom) was pretty great, and I think it might be hitting its stride because Crime and Punishment (episode five) made me laugh my head off.

That was good.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I'm watching Blackish. It's cute, but I usually don't find myself laughing out loud. Thought the episode where the mom was trying to convince the youngest daughter to become a doctor was the funniest one to date. It's better than I thought it was going to be after seeing the first episode, so there's that.
