Just wait. It gets soapier.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Of COURSE he had a twin! (I don't know if I'd go so far as "evil", but certainly creeper).
Intrigued by Josh v. Charles. (As much as I know Charles would be a much wiser choice for her, I just LOVE Josh SO MUCH).
Overall, wish she would tell.
So, impressions after a bit of time to digest: I enjoyed the eps well enough as I was watching them, but after a bit of time, I agree that I wish it wasn't going so ridiculous and soap-y. This isn't the show I signed up for. The basic premise was ridiculous enough without blackmail, freak accidents, and
evil
creeper twins.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Being in sick all weekend had its silver lining: I spent much of it binge-watching The Flip Wilson Show. Flip himself was a comic genius. Familiar guests as you're not used to seeing them, leading to comedy. (Flip tries to direct temperamental Method Actress Barbara Feldon and her actor husband Phil Silvers in a soup commercial. Oh, and the Feldon and Silvers characters can't stand each other.) A range of musical guests from Dionne Warwicke and the Fifth Dimension to Taj Mahal to the Clara Ward Gospel Singers. Unexpected surprise appearances (Dean Martin shows up for a drink -- of water.)
Side note: Flip may have originated the phrase, "What you see is what you get."
So check it out. If anyone asks you why, tell them the devil made you do it.

I'm catching up on Crazy Ex-girlfriend. I want to make a compilation of Angry Dances.

I lucked across the debut of Vicious on one of the local PBS stations tonight. It's awful and hilarious!

The second season is more hilarious than awful, but I love it.

I've got to say, Richard Madden relating the tale of his jockstrap fitting for Cinderella and then peering over Joan Collins' shoulder as she read an excerpt from her spicy new novel on The Graham Norton Show was the best thing on television this week.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Jim Rash makes for a surprisingly convincing Pink.
McHale's attempt at Bjork was a total Watch from the Hall though. I nope'd out of there after 10 seconds.
