Hearing about Play-Doh's new line of Play-Doh for Grown-Ups (with scents like "Overpriced Latte" and "Lord of the Lawn") got us obsessing about other toys we loved and want to bring back. But we'll take our Play-Doh original flavor, please.

On Dancing with the Stars, the double elimination turned out to be one elimination (bye, Crishell) and one withdrawal for medical reasons (get well soon, Jeannie). We're still voting for too many of the remaining contestants--while we can. Next week: Icons Night.
As a palate cleanser after two seasons of Veronica Mars, we turned to a much gentler investigation: "On the Rocks," a Sofia Coppola movie streaming on AppleTV+. It starred two of our faves, Bill Murray and Rashida Jones, and was a sweet and wistful portrait of a bygone (that is, pre-pandemic) New York City. Next week: We double down on dancing with Baby Ballroom (https://www.netflix.com/title/80217151) on Netflix (season 1, episodes 1 and 2).

It's not surprising that teachers don't appreciate the uninvited guests.

How much do we, can we, and should we oversee and intervene in the romantic lives of our teens and young adults? We're not sure, but Terri does have a business idea that just might take off.
