Just found this documentary 

 

This is the one about Frances Glessner Lee's nutshell studies of unexplained death.  She was a fascinating woman, and her work was fascinating,  too (and still used today).  We liked what she did so much, we made our own diorama of death for our Thanksgiving murder mystery dinner last year.

I want to go to your house for Thanksgiving!! Is the food to die for? ;)

Sounds fun!

You're welcome!

It was just coincidence that I saw the episode last night.

I just downloaded episodes 13 thru 18 of Season 6. I'm watching about 6 episodes a day (nothing else to do in this heat wave).

I have three episodes left of Season 8 to watch, hopefully today.

Not sure, are those all GL houses, I recognize the Pierce and Arthur (?) I think...is the one behind her a GL? 

Maybe 80s going by the hair style and popularity of the hobby in that decade.

I'd  have to look up the plantation style one, but I think the white one with blue trim behind the Arthur is a Batrie model called The Sparrow or Sparrow Lane or something like that. For some reason it never was as popular as the Newbury or the New Orleans. There was an even earlier model on eBay with a different name recently.

I don't recognize the one across from the Arthur in front, though.

I don't think so. The Tomy roof slants left to right, not back to front.

Pretty sure it is. Yes if you were looking at it from open back, it would be the 1 roofed vaulted living room  view..,but this the bedroom wing viewed from the front. Ha-cha!

OK, I'll bite. That's the Tomy dollhouse. But then, what the heck was I looking at? It wasn't a Lundby house and it wasn't Caroline's house. It looked a lot like the Highland, but it was a children's plastic house. And of course, now I can't find it.

But speaking of movie dollhouses, we have another CSI episode a dollhouse. This one was a twofer - the kid in one house kept a dollhouse and her secret stalker kept the same dollhouse in his room, too.

Was it a chalet house (the house you were looking at that you thought was the Tomy)?

Kelly I stopped watching CSI when Ted Danson joined the cast, except for the very last episode, when Bill Peterson returned.  Which season is that from?

 

 Holly, it's been a while since I was here, obviously. LOL

But I don't remember what season it was from and I don't remember the episode. I probably didn't remember it when I watched it, either.

 

This isn't from TV, but the puzzle site I'm on had this as a puzzle to do:
