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.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

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.

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

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.

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine flashbacks to Holt with hair are the funniest thing ever.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Much as I love the entire gang, if Jake, Rosa, and Doug Judy went off to have a spinoff show by themselves, I'd totally watch. Those three are made of magic, seriously.

Mention of Tom Cruise and the Edge of Tomorrow in Natter reminded me - the unaired episodes of Selfie that have been coming out weekly On Demand and on Hulu (and probably other places) have gotten pretty good.

I love it, and it has been getting great reviews online. I wish it would get picked up somewhere else. I also wish Selfie and A to Z had been on the same network and paired together on the same night. Both were paired with clunkers, which probably didn't help them.
