Nope, you're not the only one. Literally the first thing I thought when I saw the headline was: "It's been done" - Bill Bixby.

The trailers make this look like an anthology film based on the premise for Marley & Me.

Even without the possible animal abuse, who would willingly subject themselves to something like that?

I thought I missed Ted Danson before. But that smile and laugh was amazing. I really hope this gets a second season, because now that we know what Michael is all about, it's going to take some very heavy lifting on Danson's part to make the character interesting.

The best part is that after the finale, I'm completely

The Medium Place did seem legitimately to be somewhere of which many of the Architects were unaware. And there was a lot of space there.

As we now know, everything this show does, it does for a reason.

Bortles!

"I suppose if it were Christmas, you'd hang ornaments on it."

A friend of mine bought Monopoly for the Nintendo. We all laughed, until we played it and realized that once you've automated all the tedious minutiae, like counting money, auctions, etc., the game goes by very quickly. We were knocking them out in about 90 minutes.

Conversely, I often hoard the Hot Mustard sauce for use with other nuggets.

McD's briefly stopped carrying the Hot Mustard sauce in our market. Those were dark days, indeed.

Indeed. That's why I loath siding with Roth. But my hatred of "Jump" is absolute.

"Yeah, that's what I thought, too."

So much for this show being its own thing. Christopher Pike can't be far behind.

Oddly enough (and I think we've discussed this in a comment section before), I've had Vindaloo in an Indian restaurant in North London. But what I had didn't have a significant vinegar taste and more resembled Tikka Masala. I ordered it because the waiter said it was the spiciest dish they made.

I don't mind synth when it's used as an instrument, like an organ or a piano. But when it's used to create a "wall of sound," filling in all the silences between the notes, I despise it. ZZ Top's Eliminator is especially guilty in this regard.

Not long after DLR left Van Halen (the first time), I heard an interview with Eddie about their argument over "Jump." DLR argued that Eddie was a "guitar god," while Eddie shot back, "I'm a MUSICIAN!" I hate taking the side of David Lee Roth on anything, but can't fault him on this one.

Not to mention the fact that certain recorded versions of a song are preferable, even by the same band. When an oldies station plays a song by the Coasters or the Platters, I can tell almost instantly whether it was the original singles version, or something that's been recorded and remixed. This was a real problem

"I just saw the new Ben Affleck movie."

"Who?"

"Ben Affleck. The guy who plays Batman."

"Oh, yeah. To tell you the truth, I'd forgotten all about that guy until he played Batman."

I've browsed a lot of the comments and haven't seen this. Did anyone else notice that Sherlock's repressed childhood memory was almost identical to Hawkeye Pierce's repressed memory in the final episode of M*A*S*H? Like they say, steal from the best.

Eventually, they're going to have to address the fact that Lucifer is immortal, while Chloe (apparently) isn't. We know Luci's proximity to Chloe makes him capable of injury, but I doubt they're going for something as simple as "Chloe marries Luci, he turns mortal, and they live happily ever after." At least I hope

The ancient Greek gods were all petty, immature jackwagons. So this kind of thing goes back thousands of years. It's probably a human compulsion to project "the gods, they're just like us!"
