One thing I forgot to mention for Arthur on Saturday is that I watched
"Demolition Man" -

 The Taco Bell or Pizza Hut version?

it's amazing how many people are in this film as
virtual babies!... including Denis Leary!! This is one of my fave 1990s
dystopian action flicks!  :)

Animal Control - What I gather was ep. #3.2.

 Have you watched season one yet?

What made this more
enjoyable than usual was that Lucy Punch was the guest star. Aside from
that this show is OK - it has some amusing bits, and characters, but
also gets tedious in places. And McHale is playing the usual "Joel
McHale" character here, so it's not breaking new ground.

Going Dutch - This one I was actively disappointed by: instead of just
letting Denis Leary be the "Denis Leary-esque" crotchety commander of a
lax base in the Netherlands, they screw this up by adding the fact that
his daughter is one of the officers immediately under him - if I want to
watch that kind of show, I'll watch "Shifting Gears"! I don't want this
show messed up by estranged father-daughter dynamics!
    Anim will love this as Catherine Tate

 NO
 

has a significant role as a
prostitute(?)

 Ewwwww
 who befriends Leary (is it my imagination or do all Leary

series seem to push prostitution?!) - Tate is *much* more subdued here
than she was on "Doctor Who"; Joe Morton also appears as the superior
officer determined to ruin Leary's career.
