For the most part this is a good episodes of Young Sheldon. The story line involving the adults is really good. However the show's creator, Chuck Lorre, feels the need to throw in atheism willy nilly without rhyme or reason. For example, Sheldon is supposedly firmly convinced that there is no God. True Blue in his conviction. But on the ride home from Sunday School, he says to his Mother "God allowed all the young Egyptian boys to be killed in the Nile". Tell me something Sheldon, if, as you believe, there is no God, how could he have allowed anyone to be killed in the Nile? You need to pick a side Sheldon, is there a God or is there no God? It has come to the point in this show where any time Sheldon is on the screen is wasted time.

Of all of the episodes of Young Sheldon thus far, this one is by far the worst. In most episodes Sheldon is just annoying, but in this one he is super annoying. In the first place, why would a super intelligent student take a philosophy class to begin with? It is not like he needs the extra credit or an Easy A. Makes absolutely no sense. Second, how can someone who supposedly can easily debunk religion not see through the mumbo jumbo of philosophy? All of this screen time for whiney Sheldon takes away from what could be good lines for the other cast members. I hate to say it, but this show would be greatly improved if Sheldon would move to Cal Tech already and never be shown again. The rest of the cast is super good.

Allen Ludden must be turning over in his grave. I have never seen such a load of dreck. I suffered through one episode of this rubbish, and believe me I did suffer. Where did they get those so called college students? They cannot even answer 8th grade questions. And speaking of questions, here is one example. "Which rapper's son portrayed him in the movie Straight Outta Compton"? You know I went to college a long time and this type of question did not seem to come up. Better watch this drivel while you can, cause it is not coming back.

Caught this movie on Turner Classic Movies the other day, and I was floored by how relevant the subject is today. Frank Morgan plays a University Professor. His class is attended by many members of the Nazi Party. When the Professor attempts to teach that there is no difference between Ayran blood and Jewish blood, (a scientifictly proveable fact) he is shouted down and ultimately loses his job. Fast forward to the 21st century. Any University Professor that would dare to teach today that there are only 2 genders (a scientifictly proveable fact), would experience the same fate at the Frank Morgan character. While I was watching this movie I was struck by how little difference there is between the Nazis in this movie and the #MeToo and other related movements today. It is either you toe the line, or you lose your job, and more than likely soon will be imprisoned like the Frank Morgan character. Wake up America!!

The character of Veronica was introduced in this episode. She is a much different person in this episode than she is in later episodes. Veronica begins this episode being a loose woman. Which just happens to be the kind of woman Georgie Jr. Is looking for. Just about the time he is on his way to her house (with the parents absent), he makes the mistake of stopping by the Halloween Church Carnival. End of all of Georgie's plans.

I remember this being a really good episode even though I only remember seeing it one time when it was originally broadcast. For some reason it has not been included in the Nick At Nite reruns of YS. Maybe it will pop up some time in the future. If it does be sure to see it.

This episode is one of the best so far in this series. Probably because most of the episode concentrates on the role of Missy. I really enjoy this show, but I find the character of Sheldon to be super annoying. The less time he is on the screen, the better I like the show. All of the rest of the characters, George, Georgie, Mary, Missy, and Connie are really good people that normal everyday people can relate to. The less we see of Sheldon, the better we like the show. Even the supporting players like Dr. Sturgis, Dale Ballard, Pastor Jeff, the Sparks family, all are more entertaining that Sheldon.

One more point about this episode. The soundtrack listing does not mention that the song "More Than Words" by Extreme is sung in the show when Missy is dreaming of Marcus.

In today's episode, Jennifer put on some sort of Hazmat suit, entered Jack's apartment, and began to spray some sort of chemical everywhere. I do not know if Jennifer has been alive since 9/11, but the Department of Homeland Security takes a dim view of spraying chemicals in someone's apartment building. Matter of fact it is now a federal crime. So when ICE shows up at Tripp's wedding to arrest Haley, they can also pick up Jennifer at the same time.

Life will never be as good again as it was in the middle 70's watching television on Saturday night. On CBS, Saturday night, 1973-1974 season you could plop down on the sofa and enjoy, in order, All In The Family, M*A*S*H, Bob Newhart Show, Mary Tyler Moore Show, and Carol Burnett. My favorite of the 5 had to be The Bob Newhart Show. Dry, sophisticated humor, with every part perfectly casted. Even the supporting cast was perfect. If you were alive in 1973 you know what I mean. If you did not live through this period, I feel sorry for you.

This episode of I've Got A Secret is available for viewing on YouTube. I watched it recently, and was not really impressed. Joan Bennett was still a panelist at this time, and later she would be replaced. The first contestant was a young college student who claimed to have had a dinner date with Marylyn Monroe and that she picked up the tab. The man offered no proof, and frankly I am skeptical. The second contestant was a World War I flying ace who shot down 12 German planes. Finally, Patti Page came on stage to sing "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window" (a popular song in 1953), as a duet with a dog howling while she sang the song. Pretty Weak. All in all not too bad, an above average show.

First show of the last season. Can't believe that 8 years have passed so quickly. I thought they might keep going until Brick graduates from high school, but alas, it is not meant to be. There will be a big void in my life after the Hecks no longer visit my home on Tuesdays. But at least there is always reruns. But back to this particular episode. The meat of the show is the conflict between Axl and his dad over Axl getting a job. He has a degree, he has taken the summer off, and now it is time to go to work. But apparently Axl does not share that thought. We will see how it plays out over this final season what type of job Axl finally procures. The writers are casting hints about Sue's love life, that I think will be wrapped up before the end comes. Do yourself a favor and check out the final season.

This is one of the greatest movies I have ever experienced. Every thing about this movie works, the players, the music, the scenery. New York has never appeared lovelier, just beautiful shots of Times Square supposedly in the 1940's. There isn't much of a plot, just loosely joined vignettes, but that is enough. When the end of the movie comes, it makes you wish it would go on and on. Do yourself a favor and catch this movie if it ever comes on TV.

Sky King and Penny are on routine flight patrol when Penny sees a car go over the ledge of a steep roadway. After finally finding a place to land, Sky and Penny make their way to the crash site along with a tow truck driver. The car is a long ways down from the roadway, but the driver, Charlie, is caught on a tree right below the road. Using the tow line, Sky King lowers himself to Charlie and rescues the injured man. Charlie tells Sky that a person known locally as "The Wild Man" fired a rifle at him causing the wreck. He says the large payroll is still in his automobile below. But a search does not turn up the payroll. What happened to the payroll, and who shot at Charlie? Stay tuned to the rest of the episode for these answers. Good, solid, adventure show.

I (unfortunately) stumbled on this crapola while I was watching "The History Channel" this morning. My first thought was "What the h%!! is a show about 100 years in the future doing on "The History Channel" in the first place? After I got past that I just sat there amazed at the stuff in the show that passed for facts. The show purported to be following this one person "Lucy" who was born in 2009 for 100 years. But in fact the whole show was just an excuse to try to shove green/liberal propaganda down America's throat. I will give you a couple of examples. In their liberal scenario, Lake Mead has completely dried up. Well I guess there goes Las Vegas. Further the whole northern part of Arizona is covered with solar panels. Was there not even one sane person around that said "Hey, you know what, we could produce much more electricity, at a lower cost, and use less land if we built a nuclear reactor"? To continue my story, this family motors from San Diego to New York City. While passing through Texas and Oklahoma, they notice thousands of people streaming away from Texas and Oklahoma due to water and food shortages. Has anyone noticed people streaming away from the Southwest lately? California, yes, Detroit, yes, any city in New Jersey, yes, but Texas, not so much. So the family arrives in New York City where the father finds work. My first thought was "If the people of Texas and Oklahoma (where there are millions of acres of rich farm land) are suffering a food shortage, who exactly is feeding the 12,000,000 people piled on top of each other in New York City. In fact, since there is now no gasoline, what is propelling the farm tractors in the first place? I mean can you envision a Chevy Volt pulling a plow? In conclusion, this show did not make me mad because it is 100% liberal propaganda, it made me mad because it is poorly done liberal propaganda. Anyone with an education above the 6th grade can see right through this crap.
