I’m up to “waiting for the next one to come out this month”. 🙂 We’ve burned through them two a night every season the week they come out so far. G&F and Kimmy Schmidt.

Cuz I was gonna say she and Bud are beyond dating. I’m still holding out hope for Bud and Brianna. I know it’s not gonna happen but the shipper in me can’t help it.

Now back to your regularly scheduled The Big Bang Theory thread.

This week’s episode is going to be so full of shit I am sure to throw things at the screen. I wonder if that is covered by my homeowner’s policy?

> Zack’s wife was played by Lindsey Kraft, who was Allison in Grace & Frankie (the walking ball of hypochondria who dated Bud). It took me a second to place her since it’s been a while since the last season of G&F (but I think the new season starts Jan 27 or somewhere around there).

Season 5 of _G&F_ is out today.

Kraft does a really good job at being pathetic but still likable.

As to this episode of _TBBT_: A few funny parts not involving Raj and the show killer\*. So still way too weak overall.

For some reason I keep thinking her name is Cousin Oliver, where does that come from? 😉

Brady Bunch. It has its own [TVTropes](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CousinOliver) page.
