I've been informed by multiple people that it's realistic for the mental ward to not know she was pregnant. I still find it a stretch, but I'm going to go with it for now.

We're doing full headlines for tonight to smooth the transition to the new design.

I give this joke an Earvin "Magic" Johnson plus.

I tried like hell to get our grading system for TV Club switched to the members of the 1987 Los Angeles Lakers, but no dice.
