I always thought the purpose of the Off Topic Lounge was to discuss any & all things off-topic...such as phones, weather, etc. If we didn't discuss such things, what would we talk about?

And Sylph, I have a hard time believing we're not meant to partake in such mindless babbling, when you yourself were just talking about Britney Spears with Jack a few posts back. So what makes this thread ideal for talk of pop divas that we love, but not how weather has been affecting our region or what cartoon characters we grew up with......?

And it probably was. But no one wants to hear about it. I recall that before it wasn't like that - it was a place for witty banter and that sort of thing, then people came and posted the negative stuff and some tried to save the thread by talking about weather, phones, iTunes etc. And then there were those mysterious posts, the double-entendres, which people hated because they were on purpose mean and secretive and because no one could figure out who was the person or thing in question.

The cartoon characters talk was amazing! I loved that one.

You can talk about anything you want, Actor87, I'm not the post police here. This is a free and democratic board and if you obey the rules, you can write about anything you want. :)

So my friend just called to inform me we are going to the gym tomorrow night. I was like "Really? Wait.. We dont have membership!" And he told me he just bought us two months each at 24 hour fitness.

I was still like "Really? The gym?" And then he told me why - they have a suana and steam room. as well as free 15 minute massages. hell yeah. thats my kinda gym. and its located down the street from In N Out!

    • The cynical (i.e., the dominant) me has the very same thoughts.
    • Oh wow that’s pretty awesome! I wish I had  approached him but there was so many people 
    • In the current environment, while it's small, there is a crumb of good news: Apparently, San Antonio voted for a DEMOCRATIC mayor, Gina Ortiz, beating the "right-hand man" of Gov. Greg Abbott, former Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5337199-gina-ortiz-jones-wins-san-antonio/
    • Love this! You are both adorable. Wow
    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.

    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
