2. Andy Stephenson took me to Roslyn WA....

We had such fun. Ate lunch at The Brick, which has an open spittoon running clean water in the floor under the bar. Great food. We had a wonderful time.

9. It was a fun place to visit.

I loved the added 's on the Roslyn Cafe. Still have my souvenir Tee Shirt.

3. Ummm...neither

A decent show that jumped the shark when Rob Morrow left.

But better than 99% of the crap on TV

10. Yep.

miss some of the characters that were unique to TV. Not blowhard sloppy Dads or cutesy know-it-all Moms. Not snarky teenagers or precious kids. I miss Maurice, Leonard, Joel, Maggie, Shelly, Ruth Ann, Ed, and Holling. I miss them all.

6. Have you seen Rob Morrow's new CBS series Numb3rs ?

Saw the first episode. Not bad. He's an FBI special agent, his brother's a mathematician who helps him figure things out (David Krumholtz). Higher mathematics, right there on your TV. No Moose. No Janine Turner. Also stars Sabrina Lloyd, who was a regular character on 'Ed' recently.

8. Haven't seen it yet.

The moose didn't bother me, neither did Janine Turner. John Corbett's DJ bothered me a lot. The wife in the bar talking in rhyme bothered me a lot. I've seen Morrow in other stuff...I'll most likely watch the new show at least once.

we drive through the town every summer on our way to our lake cabin ... of course that was during the "off filming" time, but still kinda cool.

12. Slightly amusing...

but a trendy primetime attempt at a cross between Twin Peaks and General Hospital. Loaded with Zeitgeist.
