  • A 29-yr-old and his sister, 30, get jealous of their brother, 13, who has become an instant internet star.  Created by 2 former SNL writers.
  • A positive critic calls it "so smart and so funny".  Another calls it "delightfully weird".  Another said it's "across-the-board excellent."  TV Guide said, "the cast is phenomenal".
  • I'm not impressed.  If it didn't have such good reviews, I would drop it, but I suppose I'll record it.

VT: I noticed that the current Suwanee City Hall (opened in 2009) looked unusual but
I couldn't put my finger on what it resembled.  My first guess was that it looked
like a certain type of sports stadium.   A google search revealed that a lot of people
think it looks like the Super Friends Hall of Justice.  But it turns out that both
the cartoon building and the city hall were modeled after a Union Station
art deco style train terminal.

When I walked in the door, it sounded like my phone rang once.My phone answering machine had a message from a politician regarding the weather.
But then 5 mins later, I heard a single ring again, but it didn't seem like myland line.  I looked at my cellphone and there was no notification, but I swipedand their was a notice from the Alert Me app.  I'm not sure what it was saying.It seemed to be showing a number, but not enough digits for a phone number.In any case, the app is NOT behaving they way I want it to behave.
But then I went to my texting app and saw the number.  Apparently, the numberis meaningless to me, but it was a txt message from Xfinity and maybe it was a message identifier, and I *HAD* seen the text as a notification, but I didn't see that the 2 things were connected.

They reported that the live version of "Rent" (which I recorded last night) was NOT live
because one of the actors broke his leg, so they showed a tape of the dress rehearsal
and it seems like they weren't trying very hard because they never expected anyone to
see that version.  It was the lowest-rated "live broadcast" musical ever.

The mobile weather van was showing an example of an unplowed side street in North Park and it appears to be going past the former home of Temple Beth Israel.  It says Elim Romanian Pentecostal Church, and I had passed a church with that name near Lawrenceville, GA, earlier today.  The one in Chicago shows an "Available" sign as of this past July.  There is also a mosque a block west that probably used to be a church
An articles says the congregation got authorization to build a new church on the site that was occupied by Monastero's on Devon.  I hadn't realized that the restaurant closed over a year ago.

I searched for a recap and Google asked if I was satisfied with the results. I wish they had asked yesterday when on my virtual trip and looking for info about a neighborhood and all the results seemed to assume that I wanted to buy a house there.

Barry's report card was shown on the show and gave an address.  It turns out that it is the actual address where they had lived.  It's a MUCH nicer house than the one they use for exteriors on the show.  It turns out that Adam's father was a doctor -- not the owner of a furniture store.  His paternal grandfather DID own such a store,

Their ad had 2 coupons with small print including an expiration date. There was a 3rd item surrounded by dashed lines -- like the other coupons-- except there was no small print and no expiration date.  So, I didn't know if it was an announcement that sushi was half-priced on Mon & Tue, or it it was a coupon.  They told me it was a coupon but it wasn't clear if we were actually communicating.  
When I asked for the check, I gave them the coupon and the waitress seemed confused about how to calculate it.  But she worked it out and she had stapled the coupon to the check/receipt.  I wasn't sure how to interpret that, but it implied that  they'd be holding onto the receipt.  Usually, I can just take it.  So, I asked for a copy and she seemed a little put out by that, but she complied.  Again, I have to wonder if there was confusion on my part.

I watched the first season of "You" on Lifetime, but it's moving to Netflix :<

>>>   7:55p  "Roswell, NM" (Metacritic: 58, 25-(40-80), #13)
Continues the series that had ended in 2002.  The characters have aged only 10 years.
  • The lead female had left town and is now just returning.   But her backstory has changed.  She's now the daughter of illegal aliens.  On her way back into town to see her father, she conveniently bumps into her HS boyfriend -- who is an extra-terrestrial -- but she doesn't know that.  He happens to be a cop now.    But is he also an illegal alien?  The sheriff has the same last name, but is now a woman.
  • The best part of the original series was the theme song, but this one, like most new shows, has no theme song.
  • The original show was based on a series of books and I didn't realize that the lead female had been "whitewashed".  She was Hispanic in the books, but I don't know how that was reflected in the plots.
  • Critics says that the older characters are still stuck acting like they're are in high school.
  • I'm not sold on this, but I'll probably keep watching.

  • A secret government-funded medical facility creates a new virus that could end all diseases but could also end mankind.
  • One critic, who only gave it a 70, still said it's better than 95 percent of the other broadcast dramas that have hit the airwaves in the past 18 months.  But the harshest critic say, "It's not that great."
  • Within 2 mins, it got very stupid and I probably would have stopped watching if the reviews had been worse.  Basically, someone is released from quarantine for no clear reason -- except they wanted to have immediate drama.

Also, researching error on Google Maps.  There is a restaurant identified but there is no reference to it on Google -- except the map.  The location is the Doraville Civic Center but it seems like that's only because the address is only the town, not a street address.
I called the Library, which is on the next block (figuring they're not as busy as City Hall) and they told me the restaurant is in a shopping center, but Google shows the shopping center as closed.  
Street View seems to show a new shopping center there, but maybe it's like we still call it the Sears Tower.  It seems to be the same shopping center but they have have had a new name since 2012.  It seems to be mostly vacant.  There is no evidence that the restaurant is there.

>>> 10:59p  "Fam" (Metacritic: 54, 40-75 ,#7)
  • It's a sit-com about a homicide detective and his family.  Critics seem to like the cast but consider the show to be predictable.
  • Now that I've seen it, it's more about a newly-engaged couple reconnecting with her estranged father and half-sister -- a teen who dropped out.
  • Not great, but I expect to keep watching.
