Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

Half hour sitcom review time.

Blackish is sometimes brilliant and achingly on point, and sometimes a total snooze. Yesterday was a total snooze. Your mileage may vary, but as a Canadian, nothing in the first ten minutes resonated with me, so I fast forwarded to ....

The Mayor. I was busy texting with a friend, and Mike had just come home from work, and nobody had eaten yet, and I really didn’t give this a fair shake. I sort of watched it, but only sort of. “Sort of” ... to the extent that I didn’t even recognize Lea Michele. At first blush, it struck me as a regional version of another regional mayor-centric Canadian show called Dan for Mayor. (Fred Ewanuick played the hapless dolt who decides to run for mayor six plus years ago.)

Now, reading the reviews, it sounds like I might have missed the best “new” show debuting this week. I may have to on-demand watch it and give it another shot.

Fresh off the Boat season primiere was entertaining enough, as was BBT.

Bible study tonight, so the most I hope to accomplish is Survivor.

Yesterday . . . saw my first Christmas commercial on TV. No, not Toys R Us, no not Macy's. It was about spending Christmas at WDW with your family. The kids in the commercial's family looked all excited. I was thinking about kids watching this commercial, 4 months prior to Christmas, and begging their parents to take them. No pressure there . . .

I guess with a vacation it makes sense to advertise this far out. You can't wait until after Thanksgiving and expect people to book and plan in less than a month.

From a business/vacation planning point of view, yes. (Guess my heart went out to those families who couldn't afford a vacation for Christmas, and would feel bad if their kids were disappointed.). Glad I don't have any kids!

And I never hear any parents yelling at their kids for being cranky after 7 hours walking around in 100 degree weather!

Yes, my grandmother called it that, so my mom and I also did.
