I hope compiling these snippets didn't involve heavy lifting. Certainly there is nothing heavy or involving lifting -- of the spirit or the intelligence -- in watching 'we like to watch' with Sarah and Matt wondering what to say and laughing at each other's jokes. It's the lamest piece of pablum on the Globe sight. Does the plush shark toy talk? Can the writers throw their voices so he could say something intelligent? He seems poised to do that -- since they have nothing to add. Matt looks oh so bored. And Sarah is really really full of herself...and other things I can't mention.
