The big sister from That 70s Show

I don’t think she was written out as if she never existed. They would refer to her and IIRC, she would even come back for an episode now and then.

The first three or four episodes of season 3 of Lost are more disappointing than I remember, other than Juliet.

Is the point of Lost that most people are insufferable?

It’s still Dick Clark’s Rocking New Year even though he’s been dead since 2012?

It's 'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest'. And when Seacrest dies, it'll be 'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest starring Finn Wolfhard'.

I rarely watch late night talk shows anymore other than YouTube clips. If I had to pick a favorite I’d say Kimmel at the moment.

Re: Post Random T.V.-Related Thoughts You Have
If you were wondering Jeff Garlin’s character isn’t being written out of The Goldbergs. With only 6-8 shows left to shoot this season he’s being written around by using unused footage or sound clips or stand ins. His absence will be addressed next season, if there is a next season for the series.
I don’t watch the show either but was curious.
