        I have to watch two. is your vote for the second one of reagen's? -- nm - all the presdients love mandy lane Feb 15, 12:22 2
        
        I figured I would pick one and Reagen would pick the other. -- nm - David, Drunken Adulterer Feb 15, 12:44 1
        
        ok, that works. cool. thanks. reagen! pick yours! -- nm - all the presdients love mandy lane Feb 15, 12:46

Any word yet how Dollhouse and T:SCC faired ratings-wise this past Friday? -- nm - HdnAgnda Feb 15, 11:39 17
- Terminator drops 27% in ratings and Dollhouse opens soft....that killer Friday night slot killed them.... -- nm - Remlik Feb 15, 11:39 16
  - frig. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 15, 12:10
  - Dollhouse's debut numbers were fine. The problem is that there is an expected drop after the pilot for most shows. That would be disastrous here. -- nm - David, Drunken Adulterer Feb 15, 11:42 7
    - Dollhouse opened to Firefly numbers. If I'm a Fox Exec...the show is done. That's been the M.O, for them. -- nm - Remlik Feb 15, 11:43 6
      - Ratings have eroded a lot since 2002, though. -- nm - David, Drunken Adulterer Feb 15, 11:58 2
        
        true. I'm just wondering if Fox is willing to carry it. -- nm - Remlik Feb 15, 11:59 1
        
        Hopefully they don't have much else on the shelf at this time. -- nm - HdnAgnda Feb 15, 12:00
      - But it has Eliza...dancing...in a very short....negligee-like thing! -- nm - HdnAgnda Feb 15, 11:47 2
        
        oh I liked it. I liked it a lot. And it's got a good cast. -- nm - Remlik Feb 15, 11:48 1
        
        Yup, I am on board. I think, if given a chance, it will prove to be quite intriguing. -- nm - HdnAgnda Feb 15, 11:52
  - link.... -- (link) - Remlik Feb 15, 11:40 6
    - Ugh. I didn't think T:SCC had 27% to give. Arguably, this is another victim of the strike. 9 eps for 1st season, then a long break, then back in Fall - HdnAgnda Feb 15, 11:43 5
      - I really liked this weeks episode. I have to think they're gonna market it hard with the movie. -- nm - Remlik Feb 15, 11:45 4
        
        Yup. I like it too, particularly (spoils) - HdnAgnda Feb 15, 11:48 3
        
        *spoil*..... - Remlik Feb 15, 11:49
        
        they were taunting us with that. -- nm - Reagen Feb 15, 11:49 1
        
        totally. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 15, 12:09
So um, if Obama wasn't planning on signing the bill until Tuesday, was there any real particular reason why Congress had to rush to pass it Friday? -- nm - Qale Feb 15, 11:34 4
- The take the weekend off. Probably Monday, too. And Tues is President's Day. -- nm - TWuG Feb 15, 11:35 1
  - "I came here to lead, not to read." -- nm - Qale Feb 15, 11:37
- Congress is on recess this week (or at least the Senate is). -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 15, 11:35 1
  - Too bad they didn't take the bill home with them and took a listen to what their constituants had to say for the next week or so. -- nm - Qale Feb 15, 11:38

i have a cooking question for st. if you are going to bake something that contains pasta noodles - tRuMaN Feb 15, 11:29 12
- Unless it says otherwise, yes. - kelly Feb 15, 12:12
- yes. -- nm - loosilu Feb 15, 11:32 8
  - ok, that is what I thought, but I had a moment of self doubt. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 15, 11:32 7
    - there are certain lasagna noodles that are specially processed so you don't boil them first. otherwise, you boil first. -- nm - loosilu Feb 15, 11:33 6
      - I made a chicken lasagna last night with the no cook noodles. cream of chicken & mushroom soups for the sauce, not tomato. it worked fine -- nm - peglegpete Feb 15, 11:59 2
        
        those are no-cook; built for that. see? -- nm - all the presdients love mandy lane Feb 15, 12:01 1
        
        then I cut it up & froze 3/4 of it or i'd be eating the lasagna for a week - peglegpete Feb 15, 12:03
      - Even with regular noodles, if you add extra water and cover while you cook, the noodles will cook. -- nm - psilotum Feb 15, 11:41 2
        
        I have heard this but not tried it. You'd had to measure out the water carefully, yes? -- nm - loosilu Feb 15, 11:42 1
        
        yes. My mom had a method with exact ratios, but I don't have it handy. -- nm - psilotum Feb 15, 11:45
- uh, yes -- nm - pigby Feb 15, 11:30 1
  - I think I need a second opinoin. I just dont trust you... -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 15, 11:31
ARGH! I forgot to tivo the amazing race! -- nm - all the presdients love mandy lane Feb 15, 11:27 4

  - my phone's dead. but this is good to know. will it force the connection from the tivo to the tivo service or is that still my issue? - all the presdients love mandy lane Feb 15, 11:56 1
    - if it's dialup, it won't force the connection. -- nm - loosilu Feb 15, 12:04
- isn't it tonight? -- nm - pigby Feb 15, 11:28
the Sun says actually three local boys are claiming to be the dad. -- (link) - loosilu Feb 15, 11:20 14

  - fwiw, based on superficial appearances, I think she's Alfie's. -- nm - loosilu Feb 15, 11:32
- "What is it with this girl, do her nipples taste like beer?" -- nm - Reagen Feb 15, 11:21 7
  - poor Alfie's mum had to explain what a DNA test was. -- nm - loosilu Feb 15, 11:24 6
    - "Alfie's dad Dennis - who dumped wife Nicola, 43, for a teenage friend of her eldest daughter - is clearly pushing for the test. " nm - Dignan Feb 15, 11:36 5
      - have you seen Alfie's mother? -- nm - loosilu Feb 15, 11:40 4
        
        God help me, I'd still do it. I'd wince, but I'd do it. nm - Dignan Feb 15, 11:50 2
        
        she does look like she spent *years* as a profession. -- nm - loosilu Feb 15, 11:56 1
        
        sigh. professional. -- nm - loosilu Feb 15, 11:56
        
        here. she's scary. which does not make Alfie's dad less of a dog... -- (link) - loosilu Feb 15, 11:41
David, so Bourdain is gone for good? That's too bad... he was the best part of the show. -- nm - secretslacker Feb 15, 11:12 1
- He's not gone for good, but his schedule rarely allows for participation. They want someone who will be brutally honest to fill his shoes. -- nm - David, Drunken Adulterer Feb 15, 11:18
