There a little of everything. Basically, it was St. Louis trying for years to get their own version of the revelry of Mardi Gras [even though they have a huge Mardi Gras as well]. There’s the cotillion/ball/society aspect. But there was also street food vending, and public drunkenness, and fireworks under The Arch.…

Spike Lee just doxxed Ellie Mae Clampett.

Farts in Todd Padre.

So after all that, Mare ascended the attic steps and hung herself?  That’s what the fade to black portended. . . right?

Corden totally whiffed on the ‘where do you see your character now?’

I can KICK, . . . strreeettch, AND KICK!!!

That’s why being fooled by a photograph is plausible, as opposed to video or in-person. Wear the right clothes, catch the right angle, and even a mom might gloss over the differences and make the mistake, once. Much more difficult to pull off beyond that.

Thursdays on Fox, 6:30, 7:30 Central.

Is that star the button you press to call your mother to drive you home?

Weird quirk of fate, I actually just caught up on Rebel due to lack of backlog just last night. Watched the pilot when aired and was, . . . OK, but not impressed.

In case you didn’t hear, they have the meats!!

Bit of pop culture detritus that popped up in a weird place. In the 8th episode, a character used the phrase ‘streets ahead’ unironically [as in the way the British do all the time, as opposed to Pierce on Community] but in Urdu.

Culver’s secret weapon is the bleu cheese crumble substitution.  And the best honey mustard for fries in the business.

“who thinks Val is up to anything good??”

Man, in that ‘painful exposition’ scene with the school counselor, Kate’s forehead vein was its own character. . . Has she had that for a long time?

Song has never been far out of mind, never got old, never got tired out.

The movie aka ‘oh yeah, Amy Madigan was young once.’

I’d place him about on par with Diane Warren.
