Certainly her most fun performance. The video and her singing really have to be matched together for the full effect.

One: Darlene Love is amazing.

Oh, right, in those sketches, Norm played Burt Reynolds, duh on me.

This made me laugh! Alex’s response to inanity (some of the contestant’s personal anectdotes) was a mental “I’m just going to slowly back away from that...” Perhaps that part of Trebek was the essence of Norm Macdonald’s SNL version of Trebek?

More love for you! You’re obviously deranged, incapable of good reading comprehension, and a miserable sod on top of that.

Hmm. Never heard of Doctor Who? I could believe he didn’t know anything about the show but I can’t believe that he doesn’t know of David Tennant’s first big claim to fame. I imagine every actor in the US and UK watched Staged during the COVID pandemic.

Big chain pizza (cheap) < good supermarket frozen pizza brands (Digiorno, and just discovered Wild Mike’s Pizza which may even be better, at least as good).

I agree—Jimmy Stewart could have easily served as an entertainer in the military during WWII and stayed out of harms way just making propaganda films and public appearances for the US war effort. I didn’t realize that he was active military (or reserve?) until he reached age 60, a brigadier general! Sure, maybe his…

1) Not true at all.

How about this: are you an asshole all the time? Why not try to not be an asshole? Why not try not being a troll? Those are questions for you to answer on your own, no need to post your results. Just do better.

1) Thank you for those kind words.

I’m thinking more this:

All of the greats from that generation were also World War II veterans, some of them in combat. It is impressive and humbling that Mr. Lear survived so many air combat missions in service to our country when so many others were lost.

Watching “Sanford And Son” is one of my earliest, non-cartoon show memories. Norman Lear was truly as great as they come in the world of TV and film. His death really makes me sad because he is of the Mel Brooks/Carl Reiner generation of great comedy in all its forms—creating, writing, acting, directing, producing. Mel…

Thanks! The on-screen blocking for that scene just didn’t show their faces together, almost as if there were stunt doubles. I bet that bit of show reunion casting brought smiles to everybody on set.

Counter-point: those second- and third-tier shows are awesome, kids and fans love them, and the vehicles build up plenty of speed to provide good action. And in more rural areas, those are the only shows available.

I worked beer sales at a local county fairgrounds during a second- or perhaps third-tier monster truck rally. It wasn’t the big name trucks but they had maybe six monster trucks doing their thing, a pre-event paid meet-and-greet with drivers and riders, some beater car dirt races plus a pretty decent motocross stunt…

Counter-point: every box of Cheerios is already stale. That’s the real scandal.

Right on the money, Polysyllabic.

Not just “complicated” but as a genuinely loving father, Joe wants to help Hunter have the best life possible. Is having a Raptor the right thing? Well, objectively, no. But helping one’s offspring* obtain presumably reliable transportation? Yes.
