Tough choice at 6:30, but going Lost in Space, French Chef because nothing else looks good, then Danny Thomas (hat tip to the Golden Girls joke about his being Lebanese) and wow does it sound like those courtship rituals on Danny Kaye probably aged badly

I was saying that AgrOP and AgrSP were like magic eye posters and hypercolor shirts. Seemed like a good idea in the 90s, now maybe you’ll stumble on one in the back of a closet somewhere

A magic eye (stereographic) image that does resolve on my phone screen

50/50 on references today:

Landed a tossed-off comment about not obeying the laws of thermodynamics in this house, but nobody could figure out a Magic Eye image when I used it as an example of something that was really big in the 90s, but not anymore

I mean, I could add some spice to the opening of the film by sharing the speculation about what goes on between Sybok and J’onn that is developed in a podcast I listen to

Stephen Yan on set of his cooking show. Today’s apron pun is “wok on the wild side”

Probably either two hours of Mad TV or Married with Children reruns followed by my perennial disappointment that Martin Yan is not Stephen Yan

Can we say something about season 3 TOS has one episode where Kirk is kidnapped to help repopulate a species, and there is literally a cut to him putting his boots on afterwards, alongside another where he is kidnapped to transmit an STI?

This article immediately labels @emilymbender.bsky.social and I as "curmudgeons" because we don't think that the spicy auto complete has a concept of the self.
