"I wrote a review of the novel, movie, and song back in 2007. Sorry about the ads interrupting it.
One of the things that changes between the novel/memoir is the historical context. The written Sir teaches in the post-war world. The neighbourhood…"
"I know why they do it, but I spent a significant part of my life working with young people and it looks stupid!
Also, Degrassi always used real teens. I was amused when one of the later-generation Degrassi girls, Shanae Grimes, went through high…"
"I enjoyed the episodes that I saw of Room 222 in its original run. The timing was bad. It started while I was in Vietnam and continued into the early part of my career in County elections (many days working late). Wikipedia tells me that VHS…"
"I caught a handful of old Room 222 episodes. I don't really remember the show from my childhood, other than its existence and the theme song. It really was ahead of its time, for series television, breaking ground that subsequent shows would be more…"
"We're on a post-first-season hiatus from Gilmore Girls, which we both enjoyed, but found it overused the comedy trope of "this entire problem would be resolved if character x and character y just communicated for two seconds." Light years from…"

"I was surprised by what Omni-Man did. I won't be reading the Invincible comics because I can't keep up with everything. I looked at the Wikipedia page for the Invincible comics and it seems consistent with the show. I finished watching season 1 and…"
"INVINCIBLE: Last night we watched the first episode of the Amazon Prime cartoon based on the Robert Kirkman comic book. I liked it, but Tracy said she liked it "right up until the end." I don't know whether or not we'll watch any more, but I…"
"TWILIGHT ZONE, SEASON FOUR: I decided to take Richard's suggestion of watching the entire season on Paramount+ rather than waiting to them to be broadcast at random.
Good stuff."
"Well, not knowing how the character develops, that could have been serious. She's already realizing that she doesn't really know her daughter and granddaughter."
"Not so certain about that one, personally, but we're only about seven episodes in. Characters grow. I know that Rory and Paris eventually become friends, for example, and Paris right now can barely act like a human being, much less a likeable one."

Hope it's a good one.
I'd have got you another cake, but I haven't earned any credits since your last birthday...
