Supposed to be 13, but you can have it anytime after that. Or not at all. It's just a ceremony and a party that does nothing.

The Middle. Thanks to this episode I stand by my previous comment urging Brick's institutionalization. I just can't see him functioning in society. I loved Frankie's comment - "Soon you'll be going to High School." Really?

The Goldbergs. First observation, Rush really should record a second song. At least that's the impression this episode gave me. I really did like Erica's reaction to Tom
Sawyer. It reminded me of the end of Freaks and Geeks where Linda Cardinali discovered The Grateful Dead. Music can really change your life.

Squeamish? Maybe then, but not now. Attorney TV commercials here in Georgia are shameless.

It also tied it to Mike's action which led to the death of an innocent bystander. Both had it all worked out but life doesn't always obey and you have to live with the consequences.

Which is not what happened. He "took off" shortly after that. Maybe they should have either killed him off immediately or flew him off to a hospital, but them we would not have had that great speech.

Well, I'm not a doctor, but I've seen a lot of movies, so broken neck usually means death soon. In movies at least.

You really couldn't expect bounce back from a broken neck. They respected his wishes and, as the rest of the movie showed, dying is what men do. You're supposed to do it bravely and with dignity, and he did.

One of my favorites and I'm glad to see it's getting the attention it deserves. This movie is from an era when certain genres were all about men and their responsibilities - war, prison and flying the mail. You were shown that a man did what he had to do and if he died doing it, well so what? Just so no one thinks…

His future - "I have important news about your fetus (whispers) fetus." That will inspire confidence.

During a recent hospital visit I flirted with a nurse and she threatened to order a Foley. But then I'm not a TV heart throb.
It's a joke, lighten up.

Oh, I get confused. The Goldbergs is in the 80's, Fresh Off The Boat are in the 90's. When is The Middle again? Trust me, Cindy's parents have bodies stacked up like cordwood. Wait until the new tenants move in to their old house.

Yes, I'm sure Axel will step in when their parents die.

It could be cute - me snuggling with Bernadette.

I can't see him functioning in society and his parents can't live forever. The breaking point for me - which might be what you referred to above was Brick telling some parents that meeting their teen daughter in the park was his father's plan. He wound up facing them like he was a pedophile and Brick admitted to him…

I wish I was the bear.

Not by much, and if they get married and have children it's the back story to The Hills Have Eyes.

The real question is why Cindy and her parents have not been institutionalized (as should Brick).

IF they were "placebo gummies", why were there only two in the bag? My supermarket sells them in bags of 50.

And he can talk to himself, but we can't?
