2017 Fall-Spring TV New/Returning Shows

[skatesindreams]

Anyone else watching the Waco miniseries on Paramount? It’s pretty intriguing so far.

I don't have access.

However, the surviving members, still seem to be "true believers" in the promos I've seen.
I find that to be dangerous, and distressing.

I like the show, but geez. I don't know why this show doesn't make me cry like so many people. It was Jack's fault for not unplugging the crock pot. Who leaves any small appliances plugged in overnight, especially an old faulty one? I unplug the toaster the second I am done using it.

Well, I think at the time this episode was set, that was not necessarily a common practice. They didn't even have smoke detectors, or at least it looks that way.

And why should they all feel guilty afterwards for not staying home to watch the Superbowl with their parents. It's not like it was Christmas. Their own team wasn't playing, was it? They are 17 years old. If there would not have been a fire, would they have felt the least bit bad the next day?

It's pretty common for people to feel this way after they missed what turned out to be the last time they could have been with their father before he died. I think a psych professor could have a field day assigning this family to his classes to write an analysis and propose a treatment plan. [/quote]

I've always unplugged small appliances after use. And my toaster has this blue flowered fabric cover that has a white door and white windows on it that I bought at a craft show in the 90's. I always make sure when I take it off I don't leave it close to the toaster so it doesn't get burned and I don't put it back on till the toaster is completely cold.

The story before that was that he didn't get batteries for the smoke detector.If he was cleaning up the kitchen, did he clean the crock pot without unplugging it? Or did he leave whatever was in the crock pot, supposedly turned off, overnight. Whatever it was, you couldn't eat it the next day.

p.s. we've had smoke detectors since the 80's. When I moved into my first apartment (1988), the first time I went to use the gas stove, it went off because the stove was all greasy. I had to go out in the hall and tell the other three apartments (two up, one next to me) that everything was o.k. I called the landlord and he came and cleaned the oven the next day!

I think all of the "kids" should have been in weekly therapy from that day until the very distant future. They are all a mess.

I guess that's why these shows don't make me cry anymore. People are so dumb. My aunt used to say that we cry over dog food commercials. I will probably cry if the dog dies.

I don't know anyone in real life who unplugs their appliances after use. Unless it's the vacuum cleaner or something and not always even then.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

I unplug my toaster and blender but that's a space issue and I don't use those every day. I have to store them off the counter.

 

[MacMadame]

So it's more like the vacuum cleaner example. You unplug them and put them away. I do know people who do that. But if it's staying on the counter, it's staying plugged in for most people. Heck, I keep my blender plugged in and I only use it about 1x every couple of years.

 

[TanithandBenFan]

I don't keep any of my counter appliances plugged in. I'm paranoid and don't trust the old outlets in my kitchen.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama is going to be on Ellen tomorrow (Thursday). "Check your local listings" for time.

I always make sure when I take it off I don't leave it close to the toaster so it doesn't get burned and I don't put it back on till the toaster is completely cold.

Many years ago I did market research surveys door to door. One of was for a kleenex company and respondents were to look at pictures of different kleenix box designs and say what room they would choose for which design.

Most people had no opinion or interest whatsoever in kleenix box designs. It was such a huge relief to finally find one - and you would have been that person.

ha ha You know me so well! I've always matched my tissue boxes to the room. Even when I had plastic covers that matched my cup and toothbrush holder, I wouldn't put a pink box under the mint, peach or rust covers I had. I only put tan ones in this bathroom. And boxes with purple (the lotion kind) in the bedroom. Aren't people supposed to coordinate things? Towels, rugs, shower curtains, etc.? And then put an orange box in a blue room? Shudder! So why isn't everything just white then - including tissue boxes? However, I only use Puffs. Kleenexes make too much dust. (Remember when they made colored toilet paper and tissues?)

My toaster cover went with my previous kitchen colors. I just had a plain beige quilted one before that. Oh, my mom used to have an Aunt Jemima one in the 60's! With her body and head on top and the skirt covered the toaster. I used to talk to her!

And all of that doesn't have anything to do with appliance safety. I never would have left a curling iron on in the bathroom and left the house. Back in the "old days", my aunt's t.v. antenna got struck by lightning and set fire to the t.v. And it also happened to my boyfriend's modem. Man, at one temp job, the lady I was working for used to start her washer in the morning, go home at lunch and put things in the dryer and go back to work. It's a miracle nothing ever happened (in the three weeks I worked there anyway). The one time I rushed out of my apartment before the toilet was through flushing, it got stuck and ran the whole time I was gone.

There are fires on the local news every single night. Why tempt fate? Back to the show - faulty crock pot, no batteries in the smoke alarm, towel next to a hot appliance..........it'd be news if something didn't happen.

"But in 2018, gathering friends and family, well, it’s not as easy as what it used to be. The country is divided. Sometimes that can make it tough to find common ground, but this year... this year, I think we should all take a deep breath, find the ability to forgive, and remind ourselves there is no difference so great that we can’t overcome it." Ventimiglia then he then (<their typo, not mine!) ladles some chili out of a Crock Pot as the hashtag #CrockPotIsInnocent appears.

Tess!!!!

 

[HeatherC]

Maybe I'm being overdramatic or maybe I'm just still highly emotional but I think that episode of This Is Us was one of the BEST ones I've ever seen. It had everything....love, pain, joy, tears, emotional suffering, laughter, more tears, and SO many other things that made my heart kind of happy even through my heartbreak. It was SOOOOOO good and not at all what I expected. I did ugly cry like four times though overall.

 

[manhn]

This year, he sent me you. I am a MESS!!!

 

[Meredith]

We didn't see it until tonight. You're in good company

 

[made_in_canada]

I did ugly cry like four times though overall.

I ugly cried pretty much the whole way through.

 

[BaileyCatts]

Don't forget new episode of This Is Us tonight. I almost forgot since it was just on. And I better have misunderstood what I thought I heard (teen) Kate say in the preview I just saw, or she will be dead to me.

you say? You'll have to watch to see. If she says what I think she says, you will know it when you see it.

 

[BaileyCatts]

That's it. Kate is dead to me.

 

[TanithandBenFan]

That's it. Kate is dead to me.

I need a clue.

 

[HeatherC]

I need a clue.

Me too. I have no idea what you're talking about here.

I thought the episode was fantastic tonight. I didn't cry as much as I did on Sunday night but I definitely shed quite a few tears (Dr. K!!!!!). I thought it was wonderful to see Jack's influence on each of his family's lives through adventures in the family car and I LOVED his final scene with the dealer salesman. This show is SOOOOOOO good.

 

[BaileyCatts]

about 12 minutes in (if you have it on DVR) ...... When they are in the car and Kate says she forgot to put Louie in his cage and he'll pee on the carpet. Rebecca says it doesn't matter. Kate says, and I quote, "I don't want him anymore anyway. I'm gonna ask around and see if anyone wants to take a dog".

Getting rid of the dog? Really? Unless that is somehow redeemed in future scenes .... dead.to.me.

She sees Louie as the reason Jack died, so I think it's understandable that while in the thick of her grief she wanted to part with him.

 

[BaileyCatts]

Don't care. I would never ever blame my dog, cat, hamster .... or whatever pet, even in the thick of grief. I would never even THINK it. My brain would never even form those words in order for me to speak them. Why she still got that tape? Afterall, that tape is to blame for him dying because he stopped to grab a pillowcase and collect up that photo album, tape, necklace, box, and whatever else we find out was in that pillowcase. He was in that fire collecting all that stuff up longer than he was looking for the dog. THAT'S what killed him.

 

[manhn]

Those teens are fantastic actors. Young Randall sometimes even sounds like Sterling.

Eta: I wonder how many binge watch TIU. After two episodes essentially in a row, I cannot take it. I need that week to decompress.

I don't think she blames the pet. I think she blames herself and the dog would have been a daily reminder of what she thinks she did. She probably couldn't bear that. But I would assume she kept the tape as self-punishment. In case she ever didn't feel guilty anymore, the tape would remind her and she could feel guilty again.

 

[manhn]

We do not know what happens to Louie but to me, Kate is not punishing the dog. She is punishing herself. She feels that she does not deserve love, from humans or animals. She is not deserving of Louie.
