Nope, completely real - even down to the name! I commented on it in another post. I know because I live near where it happened!

OOO, you know that Hands on a Hardbody contest did not end well, right? I mean the real one. The Sue Heck version was perfect. But the real one was discontinued because one of the contestants lost his mind and went to the K-Mart across the street from the dealership and got a gun and killed some people. The dealership…

Maybe because I live with someone with Asperger's who is the very TWIN of Sheldon, I see this show as exactly right. The person with Asperger's wants to change, tries to change, even knows he needs to change, but in the end, his weird brain wiring trumps it all. This show gets it right in that regard, which actually…

I agree that the review is a bit "off". It was the wicked English cousin who was responsible for the entire plot. The Indian girlfriend went along with him, reluctantly, and was clearly shown to be abused at his hands. She is the one who ended up saving Emily! Yes, the ayah was a bit of a stereotype, but more in…

In this case, the review was way more entertaining than the show. Thanks, Phil!

CBS just found out that Melissa McCarthy is funny.

Gotta disagree with the reviewer on this one. This was BAD. If the lead actor had been someone with the charisma of, say, Tom Mison, it might have worked. I did not find any charm in Rhys Meyers' portrayal, and I thought the production values were glaringly bad. The fashion was not in period. The score was overwrought…

How does she those luscious curls of hers in the van? I want THOSE rollers!

Germinal is one of my favorite books. Kinda grim though…

Eyes, definitely. And the upper lip doesn't move as much. I noticed this last week. She really needs to lay off the plastic surgery.

This week was much better than last. And wow, Eden Sher is too pretty to be playing a dork anymore. She should be allowed to blossom, at least a bit.

This is one of my family's favorite shows - we love all the little details like the duct-taped mirror on the car or the comforter in the oven or the tape that has to keep the washer shut. This show gets so much right. But tonight's show just did not hit that "sweet spot" for us. It seemed too Frankie-centric or…

I don't understand you, but I want to.

ProjectRunwayAway?

Can you please write a review every week? Please? Hoot…

Yes, yes, and YES! It needs to be reimagined for our times and I think you got it right!!

On his own planet, Kal-el would just be a regular guy. He knows he is stronger than everyone on Earth. Superman doesn't need big muscles or a swagger. He has nothing at all to prove here. Gentleness is essential to establishing him. He could crush your hand while shaking it. He could throw aside people in his way. He…

This was my take as well. His narcissism is at the root of his problems. The lying is only a symptom of that. He truly does not see how his actions affect other people, yet he is in the business of affecting people through the finesse of his advertising "lies". Maybe the look that passed between him and Sally will be…

Wish the cat had shown up when Ted and Peggy are in her apartment. Missed opportunity, that one. The cat curled up between them in their post-coital afterglow….

My addled brain interpreted this as "Morgan Freeman"… and I had to wonder if you were ok.
