I think I read somewhere that the series (and it is a kids series) is about the narrator deciding that since he liked green eggs and ham, he should try other new experiences with Sam I Am. It sounds like it could work as a premise of a kids seriesm

Cynthia Watros, that name should be known to soap fans for turning one of the dullest characters on daytime TV and embracing it with a vengeance when the character turned crazy, faked a pregnancy to keep her husband interested and then set up her romantic rival Riva to look like Riva pushed her down the stairs,…

I didn’t realize these games had so little replay value.

There was Boy Meets Boy, which did make you wonder (aside from the competition) what made the guy so special the suitors weren’t hooking up with each other. Especially since the winner had the personality/looks combination.

Oh. God. Tila Tequila. That show was awful with the constant, “I need to make up my mind, do I want a man? do I want a woman?”

That could be hilarious when they still end up falling on the typical Bachelor twu wuv trope. “Oh, sure I hooked up with every guy on the show. Sure, he did to. But that’s how we know we’re meant for each other forever and ever!”

Ah, the more you learn. I thought Mandyville was a reference to how Mandy Patinkin has a tendency to get tired of shows and suddenly quit.

I mean, I really enjoy The Good Wife and... I’m sure there’s another watchable CBS show but I just can’t see paying a subscription for CBS shows.

I get the feeling CBS’ player tries to get you to watch all the ads you would have “seen” (or gone to the bathroom through) if you watched the broadcast. I remember trying to watch Y&R once (I can’t remember why because I avoid that show) and they included the bit of titles they put on in the middle of long ad breaks.…

Oh god, just about every channel’s web media player is awful except for Hulu. Comcast annoys me the most because they have commercials on a timer, so if I skip back 15 seconds because I missed what a character said, the commericals all come in 15 second before the show’s planned commercial break. It’s like comcast…

I just think that the muckrakers on the political right would have dug it up somehow (possibly illegally) and been talking about it for years at this point.

You shouldn’t water in the middle of the day, though. Otherwise most of the water evaporates instead of going to your lawn.

Ugh. No. Gravel is terrible. It only makes the heat island effect worse. Plant a tree... and if the drought ever ends (or heck if you’re watering a lawn anyway) plant a drought-resistant lawn. In SoCal, that’s probably best a succulent groundcover. You have to water them at first but once established they use a lot…

The first time I needed to change a tire I was lucky that a co-worker saw me on the side of the road and stopped to help. It turned out I put the jack in the wrong place and, according to him, I was going to set the car up for an easy flip. He thought it was obvious where to place it. I was surprised there was a…

At one point I thought pinterest would be useful as a way of bookmarking recipes I tried and liked but getting to the link became a big pain.

Yeah, unfortunately I took it as a “You got out of the friendzone!” scene.

...and found Fox’s “Rougish antihero teams up with cop, solves crime brilliantly forcing everyone to bear his assholishness show #34,827” interesting.

Last year, I made my first visit to a dermatologist for a skin cancer check and he gave me this long lecture about how little scrutiny suncreens get since they managed to get regulators to be classified as cosmetics, so any heath claims don’t have to be backed up. Among the pamphlets he gave me was one on suncreens…

My husband has a friend he tries to avoid these discussions (they have other reasons to be friends) but once she did let things slip and said “There’s got to be consequences!”

I just remember the time anti-abortion activists came to speak to my health class (for equal time purposes, Planned Parenthood came the next week). For the most part their case was “Here’s an x week fetus, it looks like a tiny baby!” “Here’s a fetus at a different date it, too, looks like a tiny baby!” That’s pretty…
