What I love about the writing on the show is that this is used to make Floyd more pitiful; he can't think in anything but cliches. He has a good heart but a soft head.

That's hilarious! Some of the apartments on my block, growing up, had built-in breadboxes in the kitchens, along with drainpipes for literal iceboxes, otherwise I never would have known what one was, despite the cliche.

Still good

Just so you know, it's a bill lawrence joint. i can hear him saying, "no one will understand cyrillic", not thinking his HBO audience is smart enough to figure it out. Guy now has shows on AppleTV and HBO but broadcast is living rent-free in his head.

weird that this week i was thinking that the question, "is it bigger than a breadbox" had very little meaning when i was young and no meaning now and DTF St Louis S1E1 mentions it.

hey folks who wrote rooster, a slavic studies professor who proudly owned a first edition of war and peace would not have an english-language first edition.

Waymo responded with a statement that did not address his specific concerns.

A former Waymo test driver is speaking to WSMV4 Investigates, saying the autonomous vehicles he rode in while on Nashville streets were dangerous. He describes near head-on collisions, sudden accelerations and a final incident involving a tractor trailer that caused him to quit.

How many Waymos is too many Waymos? OPINION: If robotaxi companies like Waymo won’t even share how many of their vehicles are on the road, imagine what else they aren’t telling us?

Loving the unnamed reference in #TheGoodbyeGirl to Stewart Klein, the theater/movie reviewer of WNEW-5 when I was growing up. I still remember his one-word review of the movie Tank: "Tank stank".

#TCMParty

The theme on #TCMParty today seems to be Oscar-winning movies with major characters from Cincinnati. Represent! #TheApartment #TheGoodbyeGirl.

from now on whenever anyone asks if they should light the candles i will reply joyfully, "it's a must!" #TheApartment #TCMParty

I also think it was 60's counterculture that did it. MacMurray's look embodies The Man. #TheApartment #TCMParty

In the intro, it was mentioned that MacMurray was cast against type, but, man, despite knowing him from My Three Sons growing up, this role felt absolutely natural first time I saw it as a teen. #TheApartment #TCMParty

dinner is...uh...served

"One nebbish to another" might have been interesting way to make the doctor more sympathetic. I think it would have been a bigger laugh!

"Good luck, and wipe your nose." #TheApartment #TCMParty

Ah, The Method.

We had updated our light switches in my childhood apartment from those push-button things, but my first house in Dayton and second in Cincinnati had them. They were both built in the very early 1900s. #TheApartment #TCMParty

No; my brother-in-law had to do the reverse from Union for years and he hated it.

Man, Bud, drinking dregs...that's kinda disgusting. #TheApartment #TCMParty

The apartment building I grew up in had that same type of mailbox. One of my childhood jobs was to keep it shiny, after cleaning the halls and vestibules on Saturday mornings, when my dad had to work overtime or, his favorite, triple-time "snow woik" in the winter. #TheApartment #TCMParty
