I want to say it was a photo of a child who was shot.

Ah, Broadway in the late summer. When the transplants from Hollywood pack up and nobody wants to open a play just yet.

Don't forget Kathie Lee. Before she descended into self-parody (1995?), you could understand why she was so personable/likable as the Everymom type.

Thanks to Overnight, I can't listen to "Just One of Those Things" without hearing Ella Fitzgerald and an extra chorus.

I have nearly all of his albums. Thank you.

I'll stick up for Irreconcilable Differences, even if it has plenty of uncomfortable moments. What does Drew Barrymore think now about the sight gag of her character freely drinking at Ryan and Sharon Stone's party?

It's based on the idea that the previous 8:30 occupants did worse in the ratings than Superstore.

Thank you. I've always said it will make a great book. By Monday afternoon, I'm sure I'll feel just fine.

That's right. I forgot that moment in Best in Show. I guess the idea was that Higgins was trying to be transgressive with the square dog show crowd. Levy, of course, is just feigning hipness.

Agreed. Hurt is pretty much the reason to watch Partners, although he never quite develops as a three-dimensional character.

Something I forgot to note — Michael McGuire, who played the "old queen" motel manager, next worked with Burrows on Cheers. Viva character actors!

Continuing to bitch about the Clintons is the national equivalent of proverbially (I hope) jerking off over how great you had it in high school. It doesn't solve a damn thing, but it takes your mind away for a while.

But, her e-mails. …
*kicks myself hard in the testicles for even joking about that stupidity*

I have fond memories of watching "The Puppy Episode" and not at all knowing yet why it mattered to me.

Don't forget, Tracy spanks Hepburn in Adam's Rib. That was the first of their films I'd seen, and it's still my favorite.

Partners
(For the record, I watched this and decided my feelings on it prior to my week from hell.)
“I didn’t spend 10 years in Homicide to be mauled by some old queen!”

The Week in Journalism
In an ideal world, things are easier after nearly 19 months on the job.

Oh, I don't disagree. It's just want, naivete, gullibility and stupidity, with a swirl of childlike expectations, go hand in hand.

At some point — once I'm not buried in work — I am planning to tackle the show for Thoughts On. I was also going to do side projects, like as many of Roseanne's made-for-TV movies as I can find, or the time the cast appeared on Family Feud.
