Bonus Quiz - I have listed the characters as identified in the picture. Name the actors.
In other news, The US Government will not shutdown today. For that I am grateful, as I am sure are those people to whom I pay bills. The Congress passed another Continuing Resolution (CR) to fund the government for two more weeks, so they can keep talking about finding the money to fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year.
Bonus Quiz #2 - Why is this date significant in American History? Why is it of some significance to Franklin Roosevelt, though he likely feels the same way about January 20?
Finally, if anyone is in the market for a car - I might be willing to give you mine. It would appear that another model of Mazdas (the Mazda6) may have spiders in the engine venting that may cause a fire. But a fire would be preferable to having SPIDERS in one's car! You can read the article about the recall here.

Was reality TV the death knell for the sit com? I think only 3 or 4 of these were on in the last decade.
C - unfortunately, I think that is the direction we are going. Although given the limited attention span of most people, I'm surprised the sitcom is not still successful.
