IIRC from the trade rags at the time, the story was that Waterston’s ‘elevation’ was a planned cost saving strategy - it was even hinted at during the end of Season 17 - since moving him to a supporting role meant his salary was a lot more tenable for a show with ratings nowhere close to its glory days.

Staff are also required to confirm all projectors and sound systems are turned off at night, to save on power bills and bulb life.

That’s from the phone call as she’s walking into the high school and juggling the conversation with the nurse with the police radio.

“And in 10 minutes, [a new emergency exit] probably there [too]!”

Many, including this writer, consider Killers the better film

In the naughts, Ambien was generally prescribed for everyone at 10 mg strength; in retrospect this was way too much for me (and plenty of others; you generally start at 5 mg now, and I can count on one hand how many times I’ve needed to go up to 10 mg in the last 5 years or so.)
