Speed Round: Do You Keep Your Children’s Old Toys?

11/15/2017

0 Comments

 

There's a nostalgic tug that keeps us from throwing away those toys our kids outgrew ... and also a sharp memory of how much money we paid for that stuff. Let's just go with the sentimental angle, shall we?

Round 2: Dancing with the Stars, The West Wing, and Beauty and the Beast

11/14/2017

0 Comments

 

Your road map to this week's entertainment-themed episode:

00:44 Dancing with the Stars: "Iconic Dances" night with a side of injuries meant even more pressure on the remaining stars. Good luck in the finals, everybody!

13:32 The West Wing: The gang heads off to "Debate Camp" in season 4, episode 5, and of course we are #TeamToby all the way. Mentioned: The West Wing Weekly podcast with guest Ron Klain, debate prepper extraordinaire.

22:11 Challenge Round: Beauty and the Beast: Catherine challenged Terri to watch the live-action Beauty, which came out earlier this year. There's lots of magic within, but the CGI could not work its magic on Terri.

For next week: Terri challenged Catherine to watch two Thanksgiving-themed episodes of TV: WKRP's classic "Turkeys Away" and How I Met Your Mother's “Slapsgiving” (season 3, episode 9). Plus, The West Wing's "Game On" and a new champion on DWTS. Look for our commentary on Wednesday, November 22.

Speed Round: Do You Ever Read Your Horoscope?

11/14/2017

0 Comments

 

When it comes to horoscopes, we've read them and we've even written them. The believing part, though? Depends what they've got to say.

00:32 Winter Weather: Not only is snow in the forecast for Catherine, her daughter has to learn to drive in it.

25:22 Friday Speed Round: Awards for Parents: We've suggested both serious and funny awards for students, and now we do the same for parents. We think the Killjoy Award could catch on!

34:51 Interview of the Week: Catherine talks with pediatric occupational therapist Meghan Corridan about how kids can practice handwriting without using any paper.

45:23 Shameless Self-Promotion: 6 Types of Books Your Baby Needs Now; Special Needs News tweets; Nicole's book, with cover and available for pre-order!

Speed Round: How Organized Is Your Refrigerator?

11/9/2017

0 Comments

 

Organized? We're just happy if people know generally which quadrant to look for stuff in, and to keep stuff out of the corner where everything freezes. (Mentioned: Tupperware edition.)

Speed Round: Baths or Showers?

11/8/2017

0 Comments

 

Is the relaxation of soaking in a tub worth the hassle of cleaning a tub? We're not so sure.

Round 2: Dancing in the West Wing with All of Me

11/7/2017

0 Comments

 

Your road map to this week's entertainment-themed episode:

00:43 Dancing with the Stars: The remaining stars danced in couples and in trios, with varying degrees of success, but we enjoyed seeing some of the past contestants come back. (Aww, Laurie!)

12:03 The West Wing: In "The Red Mass," the Bartlet team celebrates a victory (in a slightly unseemly way) and tries to avert a potential electoral defeat.

21:01 Challenge Round: All of Me: We throw back all the way to 1984 for this week's dose of Lily Tomlin, since she didn't appear in The West Wing episode. She's funny and Steve Martin is even funnier (since he's playing one-and-a-half parts) in the movie All of Me. Terri enjoyed the rewatch and Catherine enjoyed her first-time viewing.

For next week, Catherine challenged Terri to check out the 2017 live-action version of Beauty and the Beast. Mentioned: The Lion King casting (2019 edition) and The Little Mermaid theatrical production. For next week, we'll also watch the DWTS semi-finals and The West Wing's "Debate Camp."
