I know it's dippy, but I enjoyed it. Tonight is the series finale. It has gone as far as it could I suppose, but it would be fun to see what happens to them outside the dome. What is left out there?

They're riveting! You just can't tear your eyes away! How any of these women remain friends is beyond me.

I think people who get on shows like that will do anything to stay on. Catfights, hysteria, raging attacks, screaming, anything the guys on the other side of the camera want. And it's insane how they'll let the cameras into their most intimate moments.

All you have to do is drop trou.
Been there, done that.
But that's a whole 'nuther story.


I can make a fire with a couple of small sticks.
As long as they're wooden kitchen matches.

Of course you didn't.
Damn.
I wished we'd served at the same base.
We had no AirWomen, just men, except for the nurses.
And that is a 'nuther whole 'nuther story.

The general had his own 'special' nurse.
Look up George Reid Doster.
And 'Bay of Pigs'.
He was my CO.

I was just thinking about it (Blair Brown has a recurring part on "Orange is the New Black&quot and I was looking at it on the computing machine. What a great cast they had. And what a great show it was!

I would watch the show, and then dream-create an episode where I was Molly Dodd's new next-door neighbor...

Any idea where I could find episodes on-line?

My wife doesn't understand.

But she has her own favorites that are odd to me.

We collect DVDs like we collect books. I'm finding a lot of them in thrift stores now.

Alas those physical items are both being replaced by more advanced technologies.

I also like "Flipping Out" and "Below Deck," but mainly for the house porn and tropical scenery.

Laughable writing, mechanical acting with actors you recognize but remain nameless even after you look up their names. They deliver zero emotional impact before & after they get bit/devoured by the dead. Good amount of gore + fast zombies makes it great binge watching.

It's like TWD if you don't really care. When you get up to go pee/popcorn/walk the dog, you don't really have to pause it. After you get back you'll figure out what you missed in 2 minutes.

but it does have the great Craig Ferguson as host and it happens to be on the same time as the nightly "news" so it has two points going for it.

Any show with John DeLancie as a semi-regular and Weird Al doing a guest spot is simply great.

They're my fall-back when there's nothing good on elsewhere. I mostly watch PBS, but I also love the retro channels (MeTV, Antenna TV).
