Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

"You should never say bad things about the dead, only good… Joan Crawford is dead. Good.” —Bette Davis

I'd never feel sad about skipping Chris Elliot; he's annoyed me mightily ever since his David Letterman days.

Has anyone else been watching Call Me Kat? It's an adaptation of the British comedy Miranda and I thought I would pass based on that, but Mayim Bialik is just delightful as the lead.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

They remade Miranda? I must admit, that is not the first show I would think would translate to the American sensibility.

It might not; I haven't heard any press or ratings news about it. The lead breaks the fourth wall more often than Bugs Bunny, which is something sitcom audiences here probably aren't used to, though perhaps Deadpool has acclimated them.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I've seen a few episodes. It's a little precious for me (and the laugh track is awful), but if they can settle into it a little more, it could be good.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I feel like it started out annoyingly broad, but it seems to be settling in a bit.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

I finished S3 of Schitt's Creek last night, and Moira doesn't annoy me any more. Mostly.

I want to binge-watch my way through the next 3 seasons as fast as possible, but then again I don't, because I don't want it to end.

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

That is the dilemma.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

The end of S3. Man.

That was so damn good.

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.

I heard that someone wants mozzarella sticks for their birthday. I'm pretty sure that I scraped most of the freezer burn off of those.

Twyla makes me smile.
