Football pre-empting ABC's schedule foiled Catherine's efforts
to watch Dancing With the
Stars this week, and if you had to pick an episode to be
pre-empted in your viewing area, this would be the one. Terri
gave a recap of the TV-themed episode -- which labored under
the need to 1) pick only TV theme songs they could get rights to
and 2) use the TV show as the theme of the dance -- and recommended
Alek's,
Alexa's,
and Nick's as the
three to watch if you also missed the ep (and previously.tv
forums if you want more commentary). Then Catherine reported on
her latest book-club read,
The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and
Disappeared, a Swedish novel
that's described on its cover as "a mordantly funny and loopily
freewheeling novel about aging disgracefully." (Despite what Terri
says, she hasn't read a Swedish novel --Smilla's
Sense of Snow
was Danish, and not loopily
freewheeling at all.) Finally, we looked forward to
watching Grandfathered and The
Grinder on Fox tonight and discussing it next week, along
with hopefully un-pre-empted star dancing. Join us, won't you?
