First still from the wedding shower:

Honestly, one of my low-key amusements when watching this show is how often they try to make Chyler look taller than Melissa (when she's definitely shorter in real life), I guess because Alex is "the big sister" and "the intimidating DEO agent." It amuses me because hello, her sister is Supergirl. It's ok for Supergirl to be the taller one.

Maybe she's stepping on some platform in the kitchen while cooking something.

Agree. There are lots of younger siblings who are taller than their older siblings. It shouldn't be unreasonable for Kara to be taller than Chyler. Yes, Chyler is the older sibling, but they are only step sisters anyway. Kara is from Krypton. It's perfectly normal for Chyler to be shorter.

 

[Primal Slayer]

That is funny, I never really noticed it. I think Iris is the only one with a younger sibling who is taller then her.

OMG, do you do that too? GET OUT OF MY HEAD.......LMAO

The rest of the week would be a good time to show preview clips of this episode. The network can't do it at the last minute like they did the first two episodes of this season.

 

[Kelly]

They are doing exactly what they did last season....

1 on Friday, 3 on Monday along with a BTS. The other shows do the same thing. It is just on a JUGGERNAUT NIGHT....TBBT moving back to its usual Thursday may help some...but it is just on a HUGE, HUGE night of competition.

Well Kel, once Thursday Night Football on CBS/NFL Network wraps up, then that part is in. Don't forget baseball is still in post season, and a certain New York team is still alive taking on your hometown Astros, in two of the top ten TV markets. Granted the ALCS is on Fox Sports 1 on cable not the Fox network, which will air the World Series.

I must say last year's fall classic WAS a classic with the Cubs becoming the story and breaking their 108-year World Series hex in 7 games and an instant classic in game 7.

And yes indeed, with DWTS, The Voice CBS' comedies and Monday Night Football which is also suffering in the ratings, this is a pretty competitive night.

Looking at MLB.com, I find game 1 of the World Series starts next Tuesday. And no games are expected to air on Monday. If it goes 7 games like last year, we're playing baseball in November. And that will also include Halloween, should it go to a game 6. Of course, weather can be a factor as well. But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

MNF is hurting because people go to other places to watch their games now, bars, computer, phones while they are doing other things....etc. They are watching just in different ways. All that the ratings show is a group of people that have the box attached to their TV's. The NFL is still far above all other shows, sports events etc. in ratings...People want to blame it on this or that, but as is with most of TV, it is the wide range of viewing opportunities that we have that is growing each season. You have very few scripted 1 hour shows getting 2.0+ HOWEVER, you have what I call "stupid TV" as in "Reality TV" that is still doing very well, and getting 2 hour time slots. Why? because they are cheap as hell, and easy to do on a weekly basis, and more than 1 a year. So, sorry, but to me.....the TV audience is getting more stupid, not more educated in the world around them.

 

[flickchick85]

I still have to agree it's dumb to do the sneak peaks on the same day as the episode. Most people are working during the day so many don't even get to see it 'til it's pretty much time for the actual episode to air.

 

[Kelly]

Yeah, this is true.....but they all do it.

 

[Kelly]

CBS would do 1 on Wednesday or Thursday....then 2 to 3 on Friday...sometimes 1 on Monday.

Yep, it's all in the shoes.

Sneak Peek #1

 

[BH/HHH]

I have a feeling I’ll enjoy all the Mars stuff but hate the Alex/Maggie stuff. Which I always do hate that so that’s a given really. I honestly can’t wait for Maggie to leave this show.

 

[flickchick85]

I have a feeling this will be one of those rare times I agree with you this season, lol.

That was a real snoozer of a sneak peek. Bring on the Mars stuff.

Haha, well so far this season I've been pretty underwhelmed across the board. I think for me there are deep lying problems with this show that go back to Season 2. Maggie is one of those issues and I'm looking forward to her leaving.

Who is he meant to be?

Was he not J'onn J'onzz in the Justice League cartoon?
