    Boink got a reaction from + BlueSky in What's your favorite fast food?   
    Living in SoCal, I have long been fascinated by the almost universal obsession with In N Out Burger. I know I am in the extreme minority - and I actually have kept my silence on this topic with friends, but from my earliest sampling of them I thought there is absolutely nothing about their product to warrant the cult-like status they enjoy. I have never seen one without lines around the block (cars) and traffic jams. I heard of one new store going up and they had to install a traffic light to accommodate it. To me, their burgers are 'OK', but certainly not worth the hassle. And their fries out-and-out SUCK. They remind me of Wise potato sticks that used to be sold in tiny bags when I was a kid.
     
    Far superior burgers, IMHO, are to be had at Tommy's, and, especially, 5 Guys Burgers (who make the best fries hands down).

    Enter Dannyboy in the search box. He's been discussed multiple times.
     
    He has one positive review on Daddy's.

    Boink got a reaction from Chidude in "Will and Grace" is back   
    Since W & G went off the air, Network sitcoms have been given over almost completely to 'quirky' families with 'offbeat' characters and annoying children (THE MIDDLE, MODERN FAMILY, BLACK-ISH, THE GOLDBERGS, RAISING HOPE, the new YOUNG SHELDON, and many others, I'm sure.) Or else self consciously clever work place comedies with quirky characters (30 ROCK, PARKS & REC, COMMUNITY, the new Tina Fey comedy and others.) Many of these use the tired 'talking to the documentary film-maker' gimmick. Or a narrator. And most of them use the 'whimsical musical cue' to tell you when to laugh instead of a laugh track.
     
    The return of W & G in this climate strikes me as a breath of fresh air (laugh track and all). I thought the premiere was funny and I will probably watch it regularly. As someone else here said, even a bad episode of W & G is better than most of the other stuff on the networks.

    For me, nothing announces one's curmudgeonliness to the world like one who gripes about the young 'uns who say 'no problem' instead of 'you're welcome'.
