There was a point last season when I thought that those sketches of Elizabeth and Phillip might lead the FBI to think Clark and Martha were the couple they were after. That could still happen, since Stan isn't convinced the woman is dead.

The mail robot.

My husband and I have been disagreeing about that. I'm convinced that it is Nick Offerman; he thinks that it isn't.

The music wasn't so distracting—until one of the clues required you to pay attention to which tune was playing. Then you had to keep listening just in case!

It shows up on Pandora all the time. Every station. I've even heard it on the John Denver and Metallica stations (husband's tastes, not mine). My friend has a theory that it was one of the Pandora founders' wedding song, and that's why it always plays.

Seriously. When my husband showed me the movie, that was my question. His fanwank theory: Prince Valiant was afraid of fire, and she demonstrated that she wasn't.

It's been awhile since I've seen it, but wasn't Brooks's character the one running away ("Dinner.") and the "What the hell?" was a man watching a little girl play with a doll?

I actually didn't think about it because I was laughing at the shot of Elizabeth eating the bacon.

My favorite bit of Jones acting came when [SPOILERS?] Betty reacted to Sally saying, "My father never gave me anything." Her face was a perfect mixture of smug pride (that finally, FINALLY Sally was choosing her over Don!) and concern (realizing that something terrible must have happened to make Sally feel that way).

Slight threadjack: I remember watching that movie once, and the reason it made an impression on me was my mother's reaction to the Land of the Future with all the children waiting to be born. Shirley Temple's character meets her future little sister, but the sister says that she won't be alive long enough to play. My

When FJ came up, I answered Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and my husband confidently said Betty White. I deferred to his answer because I could actually name three series that she'd been in off the top of my head (whereas I'd forgotten about "New Adventures" for JLD). I was vindicated last night, but you just vindicated my

Especially since it meant that the other guy got second place money instead of third (and with $0)! You just maximized the amount Jeopardy! had to pay!

Mrs. Blankenship's death was definitely slapstick/black comedy. And it comes with a great Roger quip, to boot: "She died as she lived—surrounded by the people she answered phones for."

My husband was a contestant. He ran a category, was leading most of the game, and only got two questions wrong the whole game. Problem: One of those questions was Final Jeopardy!

Cesar had a serious case of the yips. It also caused him to botch his wagering. The other contestants were so close in score that they'd be betting heavy against each other, so his best move was to bet nothing and hope at least one missed (because if either got it right, there's nothing he could do to catch them,

I just poked my head in here to see the reaction to her stupid wagering. Why do her opponents keep picking up the idiot ball for FJ?

This was pretty much my thought. You know, this wouldn't even be an issue with polyandry.

I agree that sooner or later they're going to have to substantiate his gayness, which is all the more reason I'm looking forward to having his husband appear on the show at some point. It's just not in Holt's character to be overtly affectionate, much less lustful, in the workplace. If his husband comes for a visit,

Remember a scene with Betty from the first season, when someone asked her about her children? "I have a little girl! …And a boy."

Yellow has actually become Peggy's signature color (Tom and Lorenzo can fill you in on the details and which colors the characters favor:
