William Hughes only pawn in game of life.

Who?! Who doesn’t like Jason Schwartzman?!

By the power of Greyskull, I had no idea that Courtney Cox was in Masters of the Universe.

Yeah, DJ Qualls was an odd choice.

Could be, Jheri curl doesn’t grow on trees, y’know.

She’s terrible at everything she does, except righteous indignation. That, she’s merely okay at.

Someone pays Dennis Perkins to write.  The mind boggles.

I can’t say I recognized his voice, but being honest, it sounded like black male (ha! blackmail!), and the only ones I could recall being introduced so far were the police chief, the rookie cop, and Freddie. Working under the assumption that they’re not going to introduce a new character for this subplot, we can…

“...plant-obsessed botanist...”

That’s a fair point. I think she just felt sorry for Freddie and didn’t want to bring any more sorrow into her friend’s life, but on the other hand, if she doesn’t say something, Freddie doesn’t get the help he needs, and his presence remains a strain on his sister’s marriage.  Maybe she will confide in Mare and get…

She has her reasons, obviously, but it’s still irritating. My guess is that there was always some bad blood or acrimony between her and Mare, or they were friends and had a falling out. Dawn seems closer to Freddie’s sister (sorry, can’t remember her name right now) and her family, and she is obviously more willing…

If he literally knew Katie was alive, don’t you think he would be angling for the actual reward money, which is considerably more than what he was trying to extort from Dawn?  Unless he knows who the kidnapper is and is too afraid of him to turn him in, but that seems unlikely.  

Did anybody call Freddie as the extortionist from the moment you heard his voice on the other end of the line? They threw in some misdirection by having him come into his sister’s house practically coughing up a lung while Dawn was there. In that second phone call I was expecting to hear some coughing on the other…

I remember one really good joke from that night, Letterman quipped that Eat Drink Man Woman was how Arnold Schwarzenegger asked Maria Shriver out on a date.

Is your name Frank?  If so, then yes.

When you assume it makes an ass out of Uma Thurman.  I think that was a Stuart Smalley joke.  That reminds me:  “Uma...Oprah...Uma...Oprah...”

You, sir, have the boorish manners of a Yalie!

Sort of like like the falling scene from Hot Rod? I’m down with that.

Here’s hoping it’s done in Dr. Katz squigglevision. Just please not some Waking Life rotoscope bullshit.
