Grateful Dead, 50…maybe closer to 60-ish times. Up to 5 times for Dead & Co. and hoping to add to that next summer!
Also the Stones 8 times.
And Steve Miller Band, at least 10 times. Not really a fan, but in the late 80's-early 90's it seemed like they played everywhere, all the time. And people kept asking me to go. It

I think Elliot knows he's in an institution, but he's not admitting that to us, because he doesn't trust us yet.

"Wise’s suggestion to a reporter that one chimp’s captor should move into the seven-room cage himself, if he thinks it’s such a wonderful place to live, is also pretty dopey—humans preferring not to inhabit underground tunnels doesn’t mean that naked mole rats aren’t perfectly happy there. " … Underground tunnels are

I'm all in. Funny, charming, and so desperately, wonderfully flawed and human. And Funny!

"Oh look, its the dog! [hugs dog] Thanks for alerting us to danger, dog, we're all going to run away and you can just…. stay here doin whatever it is you're doin" [run through weird wooden maze garden thing ensues; firearm retrieved] "oh is that guy eating our family dog? hmm. whatever. [walker casually shot] So,

I dunno. I LOVED this book. But I have a feeling as a movie it will just be a run-of-the-mill "omg race against time!" meets Castaway offering. What I loved about the book was the descriptive problem-solving. Even though the solutions were sometimes a stretch scientifically, getting to root for the simple act of

I thought "Your Hair is Getting Thinner and Your Stomach is Getting Fatter" was the best song title.

I think Bryson is one of the most entertaining, engaging authors alive today, I adore him and his work (didn't care for the autobiography, but then, I'm not a nostalgic boomer). I did not think for one second this movie would do anything other than taint my perception of AWitW so I was never going to see it. Some

I really liked Godzilla. I also think he was the most developed character.

OK whiners who lobbied for the subtraction of the addition sign, come forth and justify yourselves!

Went to a bunch of shows in the 80's and 90's, I'm not a hippie, and those were good times. Streamed the 3 Chicago shows and had a blast spending a weekend in the glory days. I did what a lot of us did - had friends over and shared the cost.

I agree with the A+, and think this series was perfect summer fare. I'm happy to hear it left a lot out from the book, because I'm going to start reading it right away! And consider me part of the MOAR CHILDERMASS choir.

As a hospital lab tech turned hospital Lab-IS analyst, I agree about these details. Until very recently (thanks government mandate for EMR!), the IT dept was an afterthought, especially at the budgetary level. And, the Urine Drug Screen he altered did in fact look exactly like (our) lab-facing UDS report.

YAY finally Mr. Robot reviews! This is my favorite show this summer. And it doesn't even need the "… for a summer show" disclaimer/qualifier. This would be in my top 5 during the regular season, too. I was hooked in the 1st scene of eps1.01 and related to Elliot immediately (not his skills, but his intent and his

Yeah, especially since we've had at least 2 who belong in one.

I like this show, but this episode was sloppy. The performances all seemed phoned in to me, and the curveball was entirely predictable. I'm hoping its just a weak spot in an otherwise really entertaining story.

I agree Martha was poorly defined, but I liked her very much anyway, because I found Rose so damn annoying.

The A.V. Club
…"cheesy, awkward and yet oddly endearing."

Agreed. I like what they bring out in each other - he becomes charming, and she becomes daring - traits neither one can really have in their native environs.
