Even for a sitcom, some of Rose's storylines were ridiculous

  1. Feeling horny at weddings

  2. Her belief that Bob Hope is her real father

  3. Her addiction to painkillers

  4. Her HIV scare

  5. The entire Letter to Gorbachev episode

  6. The Cheeseman nonsense

  7. Baby the Pig

I almost always skip these episodes. Are there any overly daft episodes (not just Rose-centered ones) that you avoid?

This guy cracked me up

"It's that chick from the eighties."

He would have been a kid when The Locomotion was a hit in the US. I always forget how strange it must have been for Americans to witness Kylie's return after almost 15 years in the wilderness in the States. It must have been an eye-opener to see the cute Locomotion singer from 1988 suddenly reappear as a 33-year-old woman with a slick, cool pop/dance track in the early 2000s.

I recall Kylie telling an American journalist in 2002 how funny she thought it was that most Americans were unaware she had continued to release music after the 1980s. Imagine hearing Better the Devil You Know and Confide in Me for the first time after rediscovering Kylie during the Fever era.

A young adult book about students finding a body at a boarding school

The book was published either in the 1960s or the 1970s. I think the main characters were two boys. I can't remember much about the cover artwork other than it was the old-school drawing design typical of that period. It isn't "A Body at a Boarding School." Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I'm looking for lesser-known books with a male protagonist from the 1970s and 1980s. No sci-fi or fantasy. I enjoyed Center Line by Joyce Sweeney, The Hard Way Home by Richard Shaw, Mac by John MacLean, and FirstBorn by Steven Phillip Smith.

Thank you
