“I’m going to miss playing with sex toys”

May 6, 2008 /

You and me both, babe. Sadly, “Talk Sex” featuring host Sue Johanson will end its run on Oxygen this Sunday. The show has been on for six seasons.

“I have been on television for 32 years,” [Johanson] said. “I think it’s time. I figured if we haven’t got it by now, we’re not going to get it. We’ve got to make room for somebody else.”

“I’m going to miss it terribly,” Johanson told The Associated Press. “It’s been part of my life and I just love it. I’m going to miss writing scripts. I’m going to miss having to read books. I’m going to miss playing with sex toys.”

Yeah, Sue always was good at showing gals of all ages how to play with various thingamajigs in a variety of ways.

Battlestar Galactica: “The Road Less Traveled”

May 3, 2008 /

This week’s episode provided a little bit of movement in the two more compelling ongoing storylines: the fate of the Demetrius and the intra-Cylon war.

While I understand how Starbuck’s crew is getting eager to return to the fleet, what are the odds that they stumble upon Leoben at the site of an intra-Cylon battle? It’s obviously not a coincidence so either Starbuck (skinjob or not) is indeed on the path to Earth or she’s (intentionally or unintentionally) leading the ship into a trap. This is the first good clue the ship has discovered on its mission, and there simply isn’t time to go back and check in with the fleet before following the clue to see where it leads. However, that makes me wonder why Adama and Starbuck wouldn’t arrange for some backup meeting point and time if the circumstances prohibited the Demetrius from returning to the fleet at the 60-day mark.

Maybe the solution is for Starbuck another crewmember to take a raptor or two and follow the clue while the rest of the crew meets up with the fleet. One thing’s for certain – Starbuck needs to talk to the hybrid, and fast. Leoben wants to form an alliance between the humans and the remaining Sixes, Eights and Twos that would allow Cara to fulfill her destiny, which Leoben says is to lead the humans to Earth.

Back on Galactica, Baltar’s tiresome evangelizing intersected with the Tyrol’s semi-dreary mourning/coming-to-grips storyline. The former Chief decided to shave his head and jump rope in his cabin, which are (apparently) common reactions to discovering that you’re a Cylon and losing your wife to suicide. The whole Tyrol/Baltar holding hands thing seems extraneous right now, though I sure hope there is some purpose to it. Watching Baltar preach just makes me squirm, so I hope that he eventually gets what’s coming to him.

And our very special guest stars…Ron Howard and Andy Griffith!

May 2, 2008 /

Show: “Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.”
Episode: “Opie Joins The Marines” (Season 2)

Ron Howard

Role: Opie Taylor. (As if the title of the episode didn’t completely give it away.) You might be surprised to discover that, despite being a spin-off from “The Andy Griffith Show,” there were precious few occasions when Gomer Pyle received visits from his friends and family from Mayberry, NC. In fact, of the 150 episodes of the series that were produced, only three – count ’em – three episodes featured folks from back home stopping by. We saw Goober pop up once (“A Visit from Cousin Goober”), and Aunt Bee found time in her busy schedule to bless Gomer with her presence (“A Visit from Aunt Bee”), but this time we’re giving props to Opie’s unexpected appearance, which came about through one of the all-time classic sitcom plot lines: a kid running away from home.

Why the props for such a predictable premise? Because Opie lives in North Carolina, and “Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.” took place in California. We have to give Opie credit: when he decides to run away, the kid doesn’t take the half-assed way out. In fact, the idea that a 12-year-old boy could’ve managed to make it across country by himself is something that Gomer can’t even wrap his head around. Now, granted, the man’s not Einstein, but, still, we were kind of wondering about how he managed it ourselves.

Opie: I hitched a ride on a plane.
Gomer: (Dumbfounded) Well, how in the world could you do a thing like that?
Opie: Well, I went to the airport in Raleigh, and I told them I was traveling to California with my grandma, but we got separated while we was changing planes.
Gomer: (Aghast) You didn’t!
Opie: And they felt sorry for me and put me on a plane.
Gomer: (In a censuring tone) Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!

You didn’t realize Jim Nabors had that kind of range, did you? Well, he moves back into his dumbfounded expression when Opie explains that he’s traveled cross-country to join the Marines. Why? Because he wasn’t doing so well in school, and to keep from having to deal with a pissed-off Andy Taylor, he figured maybe he’d better go away for awhile…’til, say, adulthood.
