"Since shows don't have a buffer of commercials between the end of one program and the start of the next, and don't end exactly on the hour or half-hour, I often find myself watching the last minute or two of any given show I've recorded on the cable…"

"I went to a sister store to the place I visited yesterday (they're part of a local chain of four stores). Like the other one, it had lots of books and placed no limit on how many titles you could have, just one copy from each. So I got:

"I saw Blackboard Jungle a while back. My interest in it is that it's based on the novel of the same name by Evan Hunter, which was inspired by his three-week stint as a substitute teacher in an inner-city New York high school.
That and Evan Hunter…"

ClarkKent_DC replied to Captain Comics's discussion Music Bucket List
"An EP is just an LP with fewer songs on it. Maybe four to six total, not four to six (or more) on each side. 
Your average LP holds about 25 minutes' worth of music, max, on each side. An EP just doesn't use the full capacity of the disc. . "

"Barrelling to the season finale of Grey's Anatomy, there was news a bit ago that two longtime castmembers, Kevin McKidd and Kim Raver, are leaving the show. It was painted as a mutual decision, but reading between the lines it looks like they were…"

"Yes, Crash is the headless guy. He's a counterpart to the headless guy in Ghosts U.K., the British show the American version is based on. In that one, the head is still around; in the American version, I think the head is lost.
