As someone who just finished a run in Arsenic and Old Lace last night (I played Aunt Abby), I heartily endorse this comment. The Taft line was my signal to get into place for my final entrance.

Just back (at 3.35 a.m. PST) from the wrap party for our local theatre production of Arsenic and Old Lace (the party was held at the home of John Kidder, who played murderous nephew Jonathan; John is the brother of Margot Kidder of Superman fame).

The truly terrifying thing is that if he has a stroke anytime in the next four years, look who takes over.

Yes, Rick Steves lives near Seattle, and I think it's KCTS that produces his show. He gives a substantial amount of the money he makes back to the community, I understand.

I'm a gal, if that clarifies anything.And yes, I do watch NOVA and American Experience.

Yes, I see a lot of that on NOVA and American Experience.

I don't watch PBS past 11 at night (if I'm watching TV at that time it's local news; CFJC Kamloops). My point is that PBS has, by and large, stayed true to its reputation of showing important, entertaining, and educational shows during the time when most people are watching; unlike A&E, the History Channel, MTV, TLC,…

Not on KCTS9 Seattle, which is the 'local' PBS affiliate I watch and support (I live in the interior of British Columbia). That said, maybe they show this stuff in the wee small hours, when I'm in bed. During afternoon/evening hours it's proper PBS programming (and during the day it's kids' stuff, which I haven't paid…

Anyone else remember when A&E stood for Arts & Entertainment, and they used to show lots of great British and American scripted series, as well as filmed theatrical/music events?

I did that this morning; woke up and thought, apropos of nothing, "Holy crap, a man with an ego the size of Mt. Everest and absolutely no clue about politics is about to become president of the United States."

'You mean the staff don't stay? That's not the way it works with hotels and casinos.'

So: one bullet (or Lucille) to the head of Negan stops this shit, right? Because his hold on his followers seems tenuous at best, forged more by willpower and terror than because he's preaching something his followers get behind in a deeply personal way beyond staying alive.(I haven't read the graphic novels, so have…

I hope next week there's a mention of Polari, an argot used originally in the theatre world but later adopted by the gay subculture in England. I first came to it (as I suspect many did) through the 'Julian and Sandy' sketches in the 1960s BBC radio comedy series Round the Horne. Julian and Sandy - or Jules and Sand…

Just back from opening night of our local arts group's production of Arsenic and Old Lace (I play Aunt Abby Brewster). Spent the day alternating between nervous excitement and outright terror, convinced I was going to be dropping lines left, right, and centre and blanking at key moments (Abby has a ton of lines, more…

That is wonderful. Thank you!

Me too. I had to watch again to make sure there wasn't a cut that enabled him to change like that.

Federal, provincial, and municipal elections are all held independently of each other here, and can be years apart.

How long does it take to actually vote in an American election? I get that the line-ups can be really long and people can be in them for hours; but how long does it take once you're in the voting booth? How many races are there for you to cast a vote on?

The contrast between this week's episode and last week's was huge. Can we just keep seeing Carol and Morgan and the Kingdom, please? The show would be so much better.

That's cool about the Journal! What do you do for the paper?
