Only Goldfish in the Toilet

Last night's Only Murders in the Building felt like they were trying really hard to make Steve Martin funny. And he was funny. But it was a little weird how hard they tried. Also, Selena Gomez wore another sexy outfit.

Meanwhile, Martin Short was meeting up with an old friend, another theatre director. He finds Jerry (Peter Bartlett) hiding in "The Phantom of the Opera's dorm room," a chamber located somewhere in the rafters of the theatre. The two played well off each other. It was another scene that made it feel like Martin Short is owning this season. I'm not complaining about Selena Gomez's outfits, though.

That new boyfriend of hers sure seems like he's the killer. Which means he probably isn't. If he isn't, I'm kind of hoping he gets killed off so I can have Mabel to myself. I mean, so that she can be with Martin Short and Steve Martin. As private investigators. Of crime.

By the way, the episode was called "Ghost Light", the title of one of my favourite episodes of Sylvester McCoy era Doctor Who. This after I had a dream linking Sylvester McCoy and Only Murders in the Buildin. Coincidence? Yeah, probably.

Only Murders in the Building is available on Hulu in the US and Disney+ elsewhere.

For noisy phones, the boys were pizza parts.
Assemble down, above the core and sing.
You'll burn to floss and giant candy hearts.
But only then you'll know from Crosby, Bing.
But where's the sandwich sense in mouldy ham?
We haven't swords to cut the pickle deep.
Her lovely leg was just a mighty gam.
A super flower's worth the golden keep.
We know the duck for how he walks and quacks.
The metal sphere with guns is not a moon.
But suns reply with red and blistered backs.
And yet we stumble up another dune.
A pigeon's still a form of flying bird.
There's meaning more than's found in any word.
