I'm not sure about the meaning of Joe's reaction to hearing his HIV test results. He seems, at times to have a death wish, so the laugh could have been relief that he is going to live, or amusement that he is going to die.

The fries made in beef fat were w-a-y better than the ones they make today. Crisper and much more flavorful.

Very happy to see the reviews. Really enjoyed reading them.

I also enjoyed them. So sorry to see them end.

Blacklist is no longer reviewed - very sad about that one.

I am not ashamed to say I cried.

Well, gee, I am sad to see the reviews end. I rarely comment but I always read them. I enjoy the show and am quite sad that it will no longer be reviewed here. Best wishes to you with whatever show you write about next.
