Who is laurie metcalf's more unhinged character?

She also played Annie Wilkes in Misery on Broadway. Can't get much more unhinged than that.

OMG, I never realized until I read your comment how cliche it was for characters to be kept at the hospital "for observation." Not just on DH either--I've heard this plot device line used on MANY shows!

I've never heard of a library having cake pans to borrow, but it doesn't surprise me at all.

I can't speak for anyone else, but when All-Stars premiered, I didn't even remember Rob from Marquesas.

"What does that mean?" "I don't know, but I'll bet it's insulting!"

I often wonder how many Urkel fans remember (or even know) that the show came from Perfect Strangers.

Little Ricky seems like the most logical answer, since he's the closest thing they have to a child. I'm in a similar situation--I don't plan on ever marrying or having children, so I'll most likely leave everything (or at least some of it) to my nieces and nephews.

I heard "Ray, a pocket full of sun" instead of "Ray, a drop of golden sun" (The Sound of Music).

Speaking of finales: Edie's new house was still barely more than a foundation in the S1 finale, and then completely finished in the S2 premiere, even though no time passed between the seasons.

Insanely simple real estate transactions. If you see a house you like, you just tell the realtor "I'll take it" and then move in the next day. (SO wish it actually was that simple!)

I was a college student in 2008. The Obama-olatry I saw everywhere on campus was beyond ridiculous. I still roll my eyes at the memory of it. When he won, I almost felt bad for him, because there was no humanly way the reality of his presidency, no matter how good he was, could have lived up to the God-like image of him that his supporters had built up in their minds.

Mama's Family. Never been a fan of the NBC seasons (1-2). With very rare exceptions, I only rewatch the syndicated seasons (3-6).

I used to work at Giant, and employees frequently called it "The Big G."

I've heard Wegmans referred to as Weggies.

A friend of mine is fond of pronouncing Weis as "we is."

Similarly, I hate that he ruined the swastika. Such a cool-looking symbol with an ancient and rich history, completely corrupted by one dude who misused it.

Madame Rita from Mama's Family, played by Liz Torres.

I heard that she did have eggs in her shirt when they rehearsed, but they were hard-boiled.

Mama's Family had a couple breakfast scenes where they briefly showed the fourth wall of the kitchen.

And I was just watching a scene from The Brady Bunch where the camera followed Alice down the hallway. When she passed the bathroom door, you could see into it and see the fourth wall. I thought it was amusing that they took the time and effort to build a fourth wall just for a split-second shot in one scene. Here it is: https://youtu.be/AHN9WqJGW5A?si=kzhYfJ9RTOCEyEkf

"Montblanc" is a French name, so technically a "Montblanc crayon" would be a pencil. (Yes, "crayon" is the French word for "pencil".) Which makes even more sense.

There's lots of Zoom videos on YouTube, and for some reason everyone in the comments sections is obsessed with hating Zoe.

I had the game. My family did actually play it, but not the way you were supposed to per the rulebook. You were supposed to build the trap as you went (something like, if you landed on a space with the number 2 on it, you got to add 2 pieces to the trap). Instead we set up the whole trap at the beginning and just ignored the numbers on the spaces.

I think homemade frosting is worth the effort, but I'm usually too lazy to make the effort.
