And he was really good at it, too! They just recently showed a week of $100,000 Pyramid reruns with him and Ilene Graf, the mom from Mr. Belvedere. Stellar, cerebral game-play.

Didn't she make it as far as the car with Vivien a couple episodes back?  But now she can't even cross the front threshold without being funneled right to the back door.

Is she as much of a dead-ringer for a young Lauren Ambrose as she looks like in that picture?

In fairness, they were only like a week old when they died, in addition to being strong-willed teenagers. (I love how that statement makes perfect sense in True Blood's universe.)

The deus ex machina-ish lice reveal always bothered me, too.

Fun fact: The actor who plays Sarge is the son of NPR special correspondent (and former anchor) Susan Stamberg.

Enjoyed for various reasons, but "Liked" for "Doonesbury eyes."

He really does look like The Goz. I did a double- and triple-take the first time we saw a shot of him.

Dexter got a beej at his high-school reunion?

Except on her birthday.

Hell, I'd settle for Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.

I'm guessing Jamie discovers the dog, suspects Dexter of child abuse or something, and then Dexter must choose between losing his kid or blowing his cover.

Season 3 is definitely the point in the show where the goings-on in the episodes generally become less centered around the opening deaths. In some cases, they're just jumping-off points for the story, like Bern. In others, like nose-bleed lady, they still allude to the theme of the episode, but in a less heavy-handed…

SPOILER ALERT: He's Bettina's long-lost son!

I never make it past Arthur's "Favorite Things" snarl without pausing the DVD to laugh for a solid 30 seconds.

I agree with you in principle. But in practice, I seriously doubt it would have changed anything this week, as I'll bet Krissi can make six damned fine eclairs.

Hope that's not the case. PDN acquitted himself rather nicely here, and I'd enjoy seeing his perspective on a weekly basis.
