Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Duster. And what's a show set in the '70s without both Watergate and Howard Hughes? Terri's having flashbacks as if she were on Lost. We also discover here that Luna is both subject to TV trope (kid stowing away in trunk of car) and actually kind of a good partner to Jim.
Next Wednesday, we'll continue with episode 8, "'66 Reno Split." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup. This episode was recorded before a live audience ... of dogs.

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. Here, we found out some of the lengths people will go to for love (or passion): They'll marry a cop even though they're a fugitive, for example, or withhold very crucial pieces of information, or purposely nick a patient's kidney with a scalpel.
Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 3, episode 7, "Not in Portland." Tomorrow, we'll continue our discussion of a newer show, Duster. This episode was recorded before a live studio audience ... of dogs.
Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is another nonfiction series about animals for kids. But this time, instead of arguing about which animal would win in a fight, we are arguing about which baby animal is the cutest. Terri's random recommendation is your local small parking-lot carnival. She can't vouch for the safety of the rides, but the people-watching and bad-for-you food are sure to be top-notch. In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2020 on supporting stressed-out kids. Next week's lineup:
Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.
Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Duster. Highly recognizable FBI agent Nina is now undercover, and that goes about as well as you'd expect. Plus, this week's TV trope: A character who's been told that he must avoid alcohol is forced to drink vodka with some scary Russians.
Next Wednesday, we'll continue with episode 7, "K-129." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.
Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. On this Eko-flashback episode, it was another day on the island, another goodbye to a cast member, and another round of mind games. So, about what we've come to expect from Lost.
Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 3, episode 6, "I Do." Tomorrow, we'll continue our discussion of a newer show, Duster.
Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is an introduction to a longstanding, popular series: The Chief Inspector Armand Gamache mysteries by Louise Penny. She checked out the first one, Still Life, and found it to be a good balance of "cozy" and "mystery." Terri's random recommendation is Waffle, a time-wasting daily word game that doesn't waste too much time, making it a nice little mid-day break. In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2020 on whether, as parents, we should have known better. Next week's lineup:
Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.
Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Duster. The tension is ratcheting up as Nina meets with Sax in person, Jim drags his dad (hi, Corbin Bernsen) into the mix, and Nixon shows up (it's 1972, in case you forgot). Plus, the old TV chestnut: Jim makes, and then breaks, a promise to a kid.
Next Wednesday, we'll continue with episode 6, "Meet by the Clothes." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.
Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. In this episode, we return once again to a Sawyer flashback, which tells us that "con men gonna con." What a shock! On the island (or islands!), we get another introduction to Paulo (theoretically here all along) and whaddya know, Desmond can see into the future.
Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 3, episode 5, "The Cost of Living." Tomorrow, we'll continue our discussion of a newer show, Duster. Weekly Roundup: You Wouldn’t Want to… Series, Special Olympics Report, and Anti-Dopamine Parenting6/19/2025
Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is a series of non-fiction books for kids that finds new and clever ways to teach history and science. We agree that You Wouldn't Want to Be an Egyptian Mummy and You Wouldn't Want to Live Without Gravity, but we're living just fine without video games, thank you very much. Terri's random recommendation is a report from her annual trip to the New Jersey State Special Olympics, which featured good times and very good dogs. In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2023 on anti-dopamine parenting. Next week's lineup:
Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.
Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Duster. We're sensing a pattern here: Jim keeps escaping from immediate danger, but the coming consequences are piling up. Please stay away from little Luna until things improve, Jim!!
Next Wednesday, we'll continue with episode 5, "Ravishing Light and Glory." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup. |
