Everything's eligible. Whatever actually makes the fall schedule is worth the most points.

I seem to recall The Facts of Life did a better, more grounded job when Natalie discovered she was adopted.

To be fair, Fallon vs. Krystle was a big component of Dynasty's first season.

You always have such diverse story topics. Lately, my beta stories tend to be "kids on field trips."

Speaking of which, I am so pissed I couldn't track down Porky's. That's most likely going on the "Ones That Got Away" week.

Right from the start, I was certain it was a conflict of interest. Seriously, I'm going to hire City Hall a p.r. person.

Motel Hell was fondly mentioned in Roger's review as something Raoul should have emulated.

I don't watch Lucifer, so I have no idea if a 25 episode season would be stretching the show's talent, plotting, etc. I wonder if they'll dare do a September-May order, or slip in this "winter finale" nonsense.

I never watched it, but used to love looking at photos of Ryan Kwanten.

Yeah, they've been dead/crossed off for months now.

Eating Raoul
“People are pigs. How do they get away with it? Why should they live so well when good people like us get shafted?
“I don't know. The next person who puts his hands on me is gonna get shafted right back.”

The Week in Journalism:
Remember last week, when I mentioned the emerging sense of pride and genuine love for my town? Those feelings ended up on a collision course with my integrity.

Well, now I'm embarrassed.

Personally, I hope it's a period piece. Wouldn't it be fun to have, say, Richard Gere as a wacky but affectionate parody of Howard Hughes?

"You're going to out me, aren't you?"

I always like to think that Bea went over and demanded to know what the fuck he was doing while "dancing."

Oh no, I just didn't comment on that since I've been treating it as dead for ages now.

Also not helping matters: Young Sheldon getting a straight to series order.
