It was live audience / laugh track nonsense... but outside! Eh? Eh?

And she cheated on freakin’ Bronson Pinchot with Kattan.

Although having read enough Lorne interviews, that is a pretty good approximation of his personal sense of humor.

Kattan was addicted to opioids for a good chunk of the last decade, and if you hear the audio where he makes those Norm allegations, he was definitely high. Not saying that excuses him, or that these allegations are definitely true, but...

She dropped an F-bomb in her first episode, and just never got out of the doghouse...

It was, but my first reaction was “they got Jennifer Hudson just to do that?!?” No acting, just sing the theme song. Jennifer Hudson needs a new agent, because I feel like I only see her singing random songs at awards shows now.

So, uh... how close to a 90s Cinemax movie does it get? Asking for a friend.

I wondered if a) they were thinking about Pete or b) Strong and Bryant are both leaving the show at the end of the season and it hit them this was one of their last goodbyes.

I heard somewhere that seasons 4 and 5 sold very poorly. You can still find them in Big Lots-type stores sometimes. So I assume they just decided the demand wasn’t there for the 80s or 90s.

It took me four episodes to realize she’s the sheriff on Bless this Mess. The character is so timid that I couldn’t process it as Pam Grier.

What, no Black Lightning?

Dave Grohl regularly chews gum when he performs; he says he does it because otherwise his mouth gets really dry while singing.

What I hate most about the Last Jedi / fanboy kerfuffle is that it doesn’t allow anyone to have a nuanced opinion about the movie. It was a great movie and at the same time not a great installment in an ongoing franchise... for me, the two “oh, shit! Are they really going to do that?” moments (Snoke getting cut in…

Dan Aykroyd famously never came back to host until the mid-’90s. And when he did, it was... OK.

In David Spade’s memoir, he talks about two things that kept Black Sheep from being an all-timer like Tommy Boy: 1) Farley didn’t want to be there; he had a two-movie contract so he had to be, but was offered the Jim Carrey part in Cable Guy, and 2) Spheeris didn’t let Farley and Spade improv until they came up with so…

Wait, does this mean he also didn’t die twice? I am shocked, SHOCKED, to learn not everything in that book is accurate.

One thing I’ve noticed in the last couple of episodes: it seems like they’re using fewer sets. I imagine that’s part of the budget-cutting that’s happened this season.

Yes. Several scenes seemed taken from “a very special Brooklyn 9-9.”
