   I caught that one a couple of years ago. I thought the cop story was   
   more interesting. I liked how they handled the prince story, though,   
   particularly that it wasn't about romance.   
      
   Over the past few days, I watched Roofman, a movie available on   
   Paramount Plus. A guy escapes from prison and hides in the ceiling of a   
   Toys R Us (it's a new movie, but it's set a bit in the past). There's a   
   pretty and nice store clerk for him to fall in love with, and also a   
   crabby store manager who might reform. It wasn't as amusing as I'd   
   hoped. There was a lot of filler, and it was rather predictable overall,   
   but it was decent and watchable. I didn't realize until the closing   
   credits that it was based on a true story.   
      
   I watched a Bob's Burgers rerun, "The Secret Ceramics Room of Secrets."   
   I like this one. Louise goes nuts, which is usually a good plot impetus.   
   I followed it with "Sleeping with the Frenemy," a Tina episode, which is   
   okay. I went on to watch a few others from season 8, which is a solid   
   season in general.   
      
   I also went back into Krapopolis and watched "Nike (the Goddess)." This   
   was pretty good. I did think it was lame that none of them could think   
   of a sincere compliment. "Stupendous, you're one of the bravest people I   
   know. Hippocampus, you're truly brilliant. Ty, you have the biggest   
   heart in Greece." Done. Still, if I can believe that all three of them   
   had brain freeze, the rest of the episode was good.   
      
   What did everyone else watch?
