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.

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.

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.

Definitely. I think placing the grand-dad at one end of the judgement, and the way each parent reacts is well-designed. I do not really like the kids, though, except as object lesson of the week's themes. Youngest daughter is too on the nose.

They kind of...aren't quite characters, are they?

Colbert just tweeted that his show is running about 10 minutes long tonight.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine flashbacks to Holt with hair are the funniest thing ever.
