I love this sentence. Of course, you missed the episode of Happy Days when the Fonz did all of these things. Season ten or eleven, sweeps week, you know what I mean…

I’m also glad my thoughts on Flashforward came across as positive — I started out to write a relatively straightforward “thumbs up,” but as usual, thought of lots to complain about as I typed. In any case, I do plan to keep watching (at least the next few episodes), and look forward to discussing the show with you.

Just watched the first episode of FF online based on the recommendation. I enjoyed it and now TiVo’s got the season pass… Thanks!
