I saw it pikachulover! It was a fun episode. I wasn't sure what I was going to think of this show at first, but I have really enjoyed it.

Thanks for mentioning that the roller rink was in Glendale too. My brother used to live there and I need to ask him if he ever went there. I feel like he has mentioned it before.

And by the by, I totally made up having a boyfriend a few times in the 90's. I was beyond socially awkward and I wanted my friends to think I was cool. It didn't work.

Oh yeah a lot of my friends had a "boyfriend in Mexico". What they used to say was so outrageous I purposely made one up too. But the claims I made were so outrageous. My "boyfriend" and I made out in a closet.

Ok so I don't even know why I am going to say this because it is going to be so sad. I lied and said I had a boyfriend and that he had mysteriously left town to go clean oil spills in Alaska because he was an environmentalist. His name was Richard. It was beyond pathetic, but I was so tired of my friends all having relationships and I just wanted to seem cool.

And Vaporman, I hope you still have those "Radio" shows, because that just sounds like something that would be fun to revisit and hear all the years later.

Actually, I've listened to them so many times, I can almost quote many of them verbatim. Not so much lately, as I have kids and not all of them are "kid friendly". They're not vulgar, but there's just a lot of "potty humor" that I don't really want them repeating in public (at least for several years, ).

But prior the that, I listened to one of them on almost a nightly basis, falling asleep to them. That is, in itself, pretty pathetic. So you're not alone there.

In tonight's episode, a new family moves into the neighborhood, and Beverly throws a barbeque in their honor and insists that they attend.

Saw "The Kremps" episode... it was pretty funny. I liked the Tron references. And I'm a big fan of Tom Cavanagh (who played Mr. Kremp) from his days as the star of "Ed". Loved that show.

The bits with the dirty phone numbers were funny.

Yup. And Adam's grandpa talking about Tron as though he is a robot who lives in a "juice world" cracked me up.

I thought it was cool how his Tron suit lit up in his dark bedroom.

In this week's show, Adam comes close to completing The Legend of Zelda, but someone else beats it before he did.

I stuck with the show for the first five or so episodes, but I just couldn't get into it. Did it get funnier at all? I appreciate the premise, but for whatever reason, the show just didn't click with me.

I didn't think I would be all that satisfied with the show at first, but it grew on me.
