Are they high?! - Most of these were terrible. For example, "Just the 
Ten of Us" was awful, with its only redeeming quality being that it was 
stuffed full of hott chycks!

Still trying to get through grading. So at night, I just put "John Wick 
3" in the background, and did some online grading. The only things I 
actually watched were:

Night Court (2023) (Peacock) - "Chips Ahoy" (ep. #2.10). I have mixed 
feelings about this one. The 'A' storyline had Melissa Fumero (who looks 
middle-aged these days - I remember when she was a young hottie on 
OLTL!!) as a "mean mom" acquaintance of Wyatt's whom Abby convicts in 
the Night Court. Fumero then sticks around to menace Wyatt and annoy 
Abby. In the 'B' storyline, Dan desperately wants to get in to an annual 
'Fleet Week' poker game, so he can fleece the sailors and take their 
money, while Gurgs tries to resist the "charms" of hott(?) sailors. In 
the 'C' story, Flobert insists upon teaching Olivia how to scam people.
    This episode had some amusing bits. But, overall, I also didn't feel 
that it really worked.

On Wheel of Fortune, the youts with grandparents teams were still 
annoying! Also, I embarrassingly couldn't figure out the final puzzle.  :S
