Whenever I watch Jane the Virgin on the CW app, which is how I usually end up watching it, they advertise CEG "Fridays on the CW!" as if it's still airing. The first couple of times they did it I got hopeful maybe I was wrong and there were more episode left this season. They're such teases.

I'm sorry. I have to.

I enjoy Mr. Robot as it currently exists. But if they sometimes just wanted to put this video on loop for an hour and call it Mr. Robot, I would not complain:

Oh yeah—duh doy!

Montreal bagels are starting to be a thing I've seen in other cities. Nashville Hot Chicken, which is apparently a thing, though I grew up there and had never heard of it. Maaaaybe seafood chowders being San Francisco or Boston-style? Otherwise I can't think of examples where it's really getting exported.

Good point re: seafood. I'm not a big soul food or BBQ fan, so that can be gross to me if you get into the really over-the-top touristy versions.

Are there any cities where the food they're supposedly known for is not gross? I won't argue in favor of NYC for many things, but I think it's one of the few places where I can make that argument, at least insofar as bagels and halal cart food. And maybe pizza in comparison to the travesty that is deep dish.

Where's the taco salad?!?

I always manage to forget she was on Community. How bizarre.

What's not to love about Cool Runnings?!?

There's a law about giving me chocolate and puppies?!?

One of the headlines on my Facebook sidebar is "Trump threatens to leave ObamaCare in place if repeal bill fails."

I don't know where you got that description of The Chew, but it is spot-on. It is neither a good cooking show nor a good talk show. Just some weird Frankenstein some network exec cooked up because 'muricans like food, I guess.

When I was pregnant with Kickpuncher, I had to go for some extra ultrasounds towards the end, and all that waiting room had on was The Chew….like, somehow anytime of day was time for The Chew. It is truly the most inane show I've ever seen.

It is. I don't know how much of it is SONY's competence and understanding of the show versus just having more footage to choose from, but it's so much better than NBC's promos.

Oh yeah, it's definitely a great pseudo-Mad Men trailer. And, admittedly, season 5 made the least impression on me of any of the seasons, but wow…what was the robot thing, even?!?

Oh ok….well that's less jerkish. But if she's really surprised meeting people is harder than creating and sustaining friendships, then it's no less stupid.

That Mad Men promo was for Season 5? Why don't I remember any of those clips?

Did she ignore the "dating" half of the term?

It IS surprisingly difficult to find a sitcom without a dumb guy. I was even thinking of You're the Worst, which barely qualifies as a sitcom, but even in that Lindsay fulfills the dumb function, I think.
