Midway through I began to flirt with the waiter as my date was creepy and 20 years my senior.

Neil Young basically had a protest album, with Let's Impeach the President (now a Republican anthem) - when he released it he criticized younger musicians for not writing meaningful songs. But when you take a position, you risk the people on the other side not buying your music, so it's better to be milquetoast about…

Actors and athletes are the only times it seems people root against humans and for corporations - it's not like the companies are going to give it to people on the street if they didn't pay it out. It's actually one of the few times a human can negotiate against a giant company and be on a level field.

David Axelrod interviewed Katie Couric on his podcast, and she discussed how 10 years was the max anyone should work on a morning show - the drudgery of doing the same fluff holiday stories every year.

If I may put on my pedant's hat…

In any event, I certainly wouldn't harm the child…

I always give Archer the benefit of the doubt when they want to do something different - sometimes it works - like this season's PI, sometimes it don't - like Vice. But I enjoy when showrunners decide to take things different ways rather than always just playing it safe.

I always enjoyed the show - Wanda Sykes is always fun, plus Julia really sold Christine's crazy

I have seen the show over a dozen times (London twice, but never New York, the rest on tour), and have named my cat Elphaba, but I'm not really interested in a movie version of a musical.

She was arrested for showing her calves in the 20's or 30's (the episode where she and Abe date this is referenced)

Steve Martin on three

At an old job, someone signed his name on a form, and we couldn't decipher it, although we were quite sure we didn't have an employee named "Brodus Wallaby" - we decided that was an Australian Country Music superstar's name

It would be great if they just joined random Canadian bands - The Guess Who featuring the Property Brothers sing Running Back to Saskatoon.

I'm not surprised, but am a bit sad that they both got the axe. I preferred Grinder, actually prefer Grindr, but didn't care for the serialized arc about professional liability (that's what insurance is for).

Lack of Parker Young on tv always stings!

Point of order, the Simpsons visited Paris and lived there after escaping from Alcatraz detention center for hating America. They were eating in the Eiffel Tower. They later returned as the Simps.

New sketches will feature Blue Apron, Squarespace, Casper Mattresses and that shifty bank in Utah where people lend each other money

Morning win!

Car Talk is the reason I won't give money to NPR - it's radio, literally the worst medium for car problems, plus they're reruns - I was wondering why so many people were trying to keep their 1990 camry's on the road

I was doing some work with someone high up at Prairie Public (North Dak. and Southern Manitoba - a multi-country PBS affiliate) - and I asked her why they still played Lawrence Welk shows from 30 years ago - she responded that it was one of the highest rated shows, as Sunday nights, all the nursing homes in both…
