That line made me pause the show from laughing so much. Both answers are perfect. I love that they left "Taste the Rainbow" merely implied.

"Huzzah science, shrew!"

Since they went down the path of asking for non-real-life Doonesbury characters, they should have gone for characters like Andy who were tied to major issues of their time. Actually, a much more Jeopardy!-esque way of constructing the answers would be to provide the name of the character and expect the contestant to

Just to satisfy my curiosity: If you don't regularly follow Doonesbury (maybe you catch a glimpse occasionally, but you're not really following story lines), can you please list all of the characters you can name? I'm guessing it's not that many. ("Doonesbury" only counts if you can attach a first name.)

Even though I don't follow Doonesbury anymore, I knew enough to run the category. That being said, I don't think it's such a cultural presence anymore that questions about strip-specific, non-real-life characters are viable Jeopardy!-level knowledge. Maybe, maybe non-Doonesbury readers are aware of Uncle Duke as a

I love that bit with Skyler talking to imaginary customers because it's EXACTLY what her character would do. She likes creating fiction, so the playacting satisfies her, while at the same time it's entirely practical in that it helps her figure out how many customers she can plausibly process while following the

A lack of sex was poised to be a trait in three almost-relationships: Gretchen, Wesley, and Steve Martin's character.

I only just now realized that both Dennis and Liz end the show with black sons.

I like when Danny acquired Josh's memories.

At this point, I think Holly's babysitters adopted her.

We in the future laugh at all you "This show is done after four seasons"-ers.

In 2014, The Habit was officially named the best hamburger chain. Lucky for me, the original location is just down the street.

That was the first scene where Marie wasn't completely terrible. It was the first glimpse that her character was more than "sanctimonious bitch." I was caught by surprise, as I'm sure many other viewers were — and that was probably the goal.

Also (she wrote four years later), the dispatcher calls the cop "Bobby" over the radio.

Let's see…TNG, DS9, Voyager, and Enterprise all have intact casts, from what I know. That leaves TOS, with DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, and Majel Barrett. So, Star Trek has 3 dead, and B5 has 4. Ouch.

Another check-in from the far future (just after Cranston and Paul and everyone took the Emmys by storm for the last time for this show). I'm catching up with the Breaking Bad Binge on AMC. We're watching one show per night, and then I come back here to read the review.

Still a dick, says 2014. Though now Q is also Discord.

…And a year after that.

What about the John Adams / Thomas Jefferson hatefucks?

As for people not recognizing JLD — when I was a Starbucks barista in 2006, I served JLD coffee without recognizing her. This was in Carpinteria, California, which is only very, very slightly in the LA sphere of influence (one of the producers of 24 was a regular). It was an opening shift, so the only people working
