I plan on hanging around, although I'll probably multi-broadcast on the Avocado, the Tolerability Index Forum and the special What's On Tonight page.

“A River Doesn’t Run Through It”
— The morality of several Cicely residents is examined in this episode, the second in a row written by Jeff Melvoin.
— I could relate to Maggie in this episode. She has mixed emotions about the idea of being Homecoming Queen. I mean, she earned that honor during her actual time in high…

Okay, here's the first two-thirds:
Thoughts on Northern Exposure, episodes 66-68
“Jaws of Life”
— The crown for this episode goes to John Corbett. Chris has always been an interesting character to me. On the one hand, he’s handsome, charismatic and generally has his heart in the right place. On the other hand, it’s not…

On the Town?
No clue.
Kramer vs. Kramer and Rain Man.

Ken's daughter was played by the late Judith Barsi. She's also not really a "before they were stars" case, namely because her Cheers appearance was at the midpoint of her career.

Placeholder, Thoughts On. It is coming, I'm just having a hard time writing tonight.

And part of me wants to believe Trump is trying everything he can to get out of this presidency while protesting to the contrary.

Oh, I've wasted my life.
The AV Club

Franko cosigns.

The first significant competition in 1998 came from The Wedding Singer, which would count as Valentine's counterprogramming (2/13-2/15, says Box Office Mojo). A nearly $19 million opening weekend compared to Titanic's over $28 million gross.

"Meanwhile, NBC's Tom Brokaw at one point contributed a refreshingly different slant to the coverage by interviewing a child psychologist about how to discuss the Challenger tragedy with children."
NBC ended up airing a Punky Brewster episode with that premise.

Mallory no longer a series regular? Hmm, now that would be an interesting can of worms. I guess we can assume Nick would no longer be on the canvas. Considering how many episodes were devoted to Alex and Mallory having steady relationships, I could see a higher-up pushing hard for Jennifer to have a boyfriend.

SNL had a spoof ad for a lower back tattoo remover, because "Pretty Lady" can turn into "Pretty Sad."

The Underwear Expert has a model that would be gorgeous, but is just loaded with ink. Total brick wall.

Damn, not today. Got called into work early.

Looking up these made for TV movies …
— According to IMDB, The Catcher, The Impatient Heart, Lock, Stock and Barrel and Marriage: Year One were unsold pilots.
— How do you like that, Howling was a reunion (so soon?) of Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman.
— NBC must have wanted to get rid of They Call It Murder, as it was…

Once I have a mullet (~2 months).

I was just thrown by Meg playing a well-adjusted, non-quirky (aside from teenage feminism) character.

Placeholder, Thoughts On. Ideally, before 10 a.m. CST.

What I find interesting is that a few years prior to the Wayne's World sketches, Dana Carvey played a very Garth-like character in a sketch about a support group. The costume wasn't there, but the shy and soft-spoken aspect (apparently borrowed from Dana's brother) was.
