"1997" - I thought this took place in 1995 (and 1996 as of January). 20 years from the airdate is the way to go, right? Otherwise the kids would be playing N64 instead of their 16-bit Shaq Fu consoles.

I exclaimed "CARLA!" at the TV.

I was sort of hoping this year would have a different Halloween themed plot where the 99 is tasked on investigating the disappearance of Stonehenge, we all hate it, next year's episode is back to classic Halloween antics but isn't as good as the first two and in 20 years everyone realizes the 3rd in the series was a…

And here I thought this was going to be about a talking, perverted, anthropomorphic pig being killed.

Lisa's fear issue resonated with me - not to such an insane degree, but when I was about 8 my father took me to a local haunted house (a group of attached mobile homes - it was the 80s, before radio ads talking about 3 story terror houses and better special effects) where instead of silly ghosts and skeletons, it was…

At least Dave Kim was recognized as one of the school's top golfers in a sports blurb underneath the headline story of the Caddyshacking.

Yeah I thought he mentioned Johnny by name but then couldn't remember. Thanks for confirming.

When The Weather Network launched in Canada with it's classical music, extended forecasts, and yes, the TICKER, I spent downtime between other shows watching it a lot. Loved those 80s computer graphics. And I was just a young child! Anyway, moving on:

Unfortunately I caught ABC promoting Shaq's appearance on the show during The Muppets.

I know we're only two episodes in, but I feel like The Grinder might be able to fill the hole in my heart left by Parks and Rec. In your face, doctors who recommended surgery!

"What's your profile name?"
"I'm a 46 year old woman".

Scully's wife is leaving him! But is his wife named Kelly, or is that his dog? I hope the poor guy's dog isn't leaving him too.

In Virginia, anyone who passes the bar can be a lawyer.

"The Vulture was definitely at his most Dennis Duffy in this episode’s tag, dummies."

Hands down the best joke was Jessica buying Eddie the "shirts with black men on them" that he likes, only to receive a Levar Burton Reading Rainbow shirt.

I'm not sure if I need to dust more often or if getting older has caused some sort of short circuiting of my emotional governors (or good writing + 80s music just really hits me) but the last run of Goldbergs episodes leaves my eyes watery. Every week it's been something.

George's delivery on the line "but I was an outspoken critic!" (of Mussolini) really sold the joke. Such a talent.
