They had the first two episodes up on Hulu for a while, and I found it painfully, painfully bad. If it is a stealth show about Hell, that would make more sense. Also, I was astounded to see there was a female writer/producer involved because the character interaction, and behavior of the female characters, suggested

Weirdly, this really was sort of a plotline on The Big Bang Theory very recently. But they didn't think you'd wind up in jail because they do not know the law.

And also that the vegan "sandwich" shop chose to display it directly behind the order counter.

Then we have to add Kurt Russell as Balloon Boy.

The one with the Mosquitos, the one with Shakespeare and,… the one where they tried to get off the island? (Oh, wait, the one with the body switching.)

Lucky you, you must have very pleasant Thanksgivings.

Fun fact to share with loved ones who watch NCIS to make them think you are an expert without watching an episode: McGee is played by Sean Murray, who is producer Don Bellasario's step-son. McGee's sister is played by Troian Bellisario, Sean's step-sister and Don's daughter. (drop mike, walk away)

It was written by the same great mind that gave us 7th Heaven, which also never made sense.

I'm the only one who loved the Vampires sketch? Fine by me.

The "disability" thing is tricky because the reason it is the "leading cause of disability" in the US is because, when applying for Social Security Disability, applicants get bonus points (30%) by saying that they are depressed in addition to any physical malady they suffer from. Since there is, currently, no

I think it was a series of tv movies, starring one of the Bottoms brothers, who had a dead wife and small daughter. I have a vague memory of a dancing poodle being a major plot point in the first movie. But they definitely existed.

It's awkward, what with Brian being his stepfather.

Oh, dear, might they have to drop one of the dozens of generic interchangeable white men?

While pap smears, obviously, weren't routine yet, they had been around since just after WWII, and colposcopy (the way they take a biopsy) since the mid-1920s, so some women were getting diagnosed. And treatment rates were moderately effective even back then, and only got better (my own mother was diagnosed and treated

Patrick Breen.

If it makes you feel better, it was the same truck every time in the first season. They only started changing the truck name each episode from Season Two on.

I assumed they will be bringing her back in the future, and this was just a soft intro.

I don't know if they still do it, but when I was in school in Green Bay in the 70s and 80s, we had the whole week off because of hunting. (We also had Hunter Safety taught in Health class.) They did it because the absentee rate, for students and teachers, would sometimes exceed 75%.

I found myself cringing in embarrassment for the actors through much of this episode. C- is generous.

It was parents' weekend at Princeton (which is much closer to AC).
