they haven't been cancelled yet. I won't give up on the Neighbors until I absolutely have to.

I didn't recognize the pun while watching (shame) but it delights me.

work it

Medium fan club…I couldn't come up with a reason for the blond page boy wigs and it bugged me. Thank you.

Not only acceptable, mandatory. Jangly guitars for all!

punch the programmer, not the baby.
