Spring is often brown and muddy.

Well, if the character is better off ignored, maybe she shouldn't be on the show.  Or just waving in the background occasionally.

Movie reviewing was just a job to Siskel.  I don't think he went to the movies other than for his work, he did other things.  Actually made for a better show than if they'd had another movie geek.

I Spy also did a lot of on-location shooting, in foreign lands even.  Though they didn't move around every week on that show.

What would be so bad about being in an infinite cornfield forever?  Corn probably provides the raw materials for food, clothing, and shelter, and could be fashioned into imaginary friends, I would wager.

Maybe Fats sold his soul to be the champ, and this is his punishment.  But then what happened to the guy who really would have been the champ?  Is the devil required to offer right of first refusal?  If Fats sold his soul to be the best, then the guy who really would have been the best can't even sell his soul to be

Euchre blows.  It's sheepshead for dummies.

Can't agree.

I predict a third playbook.

Well at least they'll never have children.

The way Leslie's mom was defined is hard to use with the way Leslie has changed.  It's hard to imagine the current Leslie needing mentoring at any point in her life.

Leslie needs an adversary.  Ron was supposed to be more adversarial (or seemed that way), also Chris, but the show wimps out every time and makes Leslie the perfect person who solves everything.  Newport was a ridiculous opponent, even for a TV show.  It's why people here complain about no stakes.  No real conflict,

Johnny?  Who's Johnny?

That was the one where she wore the really big shoes.

Only if you're a human metronome.  A normal person would always wind up speeding up or slowing down.

Yeah, but everyone has pitiful moments.  At least she worked towards goals, unlike Ann.

Dating Tom was pathetic.  Not for Tom, he was game.  Tom is not pathetic.  He's worked towards a bunch of goals, made a bunch of mistakes maybe, but he's taken his shots.  Why would any sane 30ish woman date Tom for months on end when she clearly had no interest.  Seemingly just to kill time in her much too long life.

The woman is pathetic and has no ambition or life.

The Karen Allen character ruined Scrooged.  Scrooge isn't supposed to have a love interest.
