Recently bought the Boston Legal box set, five seasons. Not sure why because I hate television and I hate sitting for long periods of time but I spent the weekend on season one and I'm hooked. James Spader and William Shatner are perfect as egomaniacal self absorbed mouthpiece attorneys.

Mad Men is excellent. I have watched it three times through now and it never gets old. Have you watched Breaking Bad? Ozark is amazing as well.
-
Mostly binge watching British murder mysteries. Foyle's War was really good.

@ponyboysunset
I have yet to watch one episode of;
Breaking Bad
Game of thrones
Walking dead
Sons of anarchy and many, many more. I mean like zilch!
Speaking of madmen, from what I know those guys really knew how to treat a lady :P I have the box set and it also came with two scotch glasses like the ones you see them drinking from as well as coasters and a cigar cutter. Bought it for my wife a few years back so I might check it out, in a binge sorta way.

Breaking Bad was pretty good. It’s spinoff Better Call Saul seems pretty good too.
Orange Is The New Black was a surprise series I found myself binge watching.

I had no idea that Better Call Saul was a TV series let alone a spinoff of one. Hmm, this could all get rather time consuming.

The Sopranos, forgot to add that one to my list of eventual binges. I see you mention The Killing, my wife really liked that one. Not to mention The Handmades Tale.

The Killing was very good. The 4th season was just ok though as it was a departure from the previous 3 seasons.
I liked The Handmaid's Tale. The acting and atmosphere of most scenes are incredible.
But I did not like how the 2nd season ended.
-

Agreed. Have you watched "Murder in Paradise" yet? More of a comedic murder mystery from the BBC, but well written.
The cast has been very fluid, they are on their third lead actor so far. The second lead was better than 1 or 3, maybe because he was there for enough seasons to develop the character.

Just binged season 3 of Travelers on Netflix. Intelligent sci fi. Well worth a look if you haven’t!
Finished Travelers S3 up earlier today.
I was blown away by S1 when it came out and couldn't wait to see S2.
But I was strongly disappointed in S2 and even much more with S3.
I like a continuing story arc where each episode builds off the previous. Travelers started to intersperse some irrelevant episodes in S2 and more so in S3 (Naomi as an example).
What they did with Hall's character I thought would have been better way to deal with David.
Travelers begun as a serialized show but then slowly metastasized into a hybrid of serial/procedural.
The last two seasons of Travelers really felt like a regular cable tv show. Despite the allowance of vulgarity, which I appreciate :P
The last time I watched X-Files I followed along a guide that only included episodes that were important to the X-Files mythology and it was great.
I really enjoyed watching X-Files that way and it saved some time. http://x-files.wikia.com/wiki/Mythology
Next time I go to rewatch the Travelers series I hope there will be a list of mythology episodes so I can skip the fluff and the useless sprinkles on a donut type episodes ;D
It is such a great concept for a sci-fi show, really fucking great, and I even enjoy most of the actors but I thought season 1 was the best of them all.
Of course, with all that said, I will watch season 4 if it comes out because anything with sci-fi gets my attention. But I would not be surprised if it got cancelled.
I disliked Jeff's character the whole series hehe.
Now I have to decide what to watch next. 'Nightflyers' which is a sci-fi but has sub par ratings and also George R.R. Martin has writing credits for all 10 episodes or 'The Haunting of Hill House'.
Also waiting patiently for season 4 of 'The Expanse'.
By the way, Origin, is the best new sci-fi show I've seen in 2018. Character backgrounds are so well done.
The show 'Counterpart''s first season started in Dec 2017 or I probably would have said that one.
Origin's first 2 episodes can be watched on Youtube for free. Since it was Youtube/GOOGLE production.

If you've watched Lost, don't binge-rewatch it w/o preparation c/o me. If you've never watched it, watch it once, then have me prep you to watch it again. Unless you're brilliant at solving fiction mysteries and have a lot of background in them, or knew Damon Lindelof and had bugged the room at his father's place when we had certain conversations around the turn of the century, your understanding of the show will be completely, and hilariously, different the 2nd time. Prepare for a lot of homework, though.

Never watch one episode of Lost, all I know is that everybody felt ripped off by the way it ended. Also that each season progressively got worse.. that. is what I've heard

@paladin1991 Quirky would be the word. That series is a great binge when you're down with a monster cold for a few days. My wife bought me the box set a few years ago just before I got sick so I know what I'm talkin' about ;D

It was an audience-solvable mystery, except the audience was never told it was a mystery. Things were presented as sci-fi or fantasy, but if you figure out what was going on you realize that was all hocus-pocus.
Suppose someone put on Hamlet leaving out the dialog between Hamlet and his father's ghost. All you'd see is Hamlet behaving strangely for a reason never made explicit. Would you be able to infer, from the clues, that Claudius had murdered Hamlet's father? The clues on Lost were with that aim iin mind. There was no denouement, which everyone had expected, at the end; the end was of no special importance in solving Lost. In fact the entire final season had relatively few clues in it.
I'm overdue for another entry in this series, but you can get a very good idea of it from this. (http://users.bestweb.net/~robgood/teach)

Grace and Frankie ...
Don’t know how I missed this ... just got turned on to it Sunday .... watched Season 1 on Monday evening and Season 2 on Tuesday evening when I got home ... I’m on Season 3 ....
a brand new Season 5 starting in January!
For as long as they can recall, Grace and Frankie have been rivals. Their one-upmanship comes crashing to a halt, however, when they learn that their husbands have fallen in love with each other and want to get married. As everything around the ladies is coming apart, the only thing they can really rely on is each other. This Netflix original re-teams Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin ("9 to 5") as Grace and Frankie, respectively, bringing their chemistry to the small screen. It's a casting reunion on a grand scale, as Tomlin is reunited with her co-star from "The West Wing," Martin Sheen, who plays Grace's husband, Robert. And Fonda is back with Sam Waterston, her co-star from "The Newsroom," who plays Frankie's husband, Sol.

Anybody who liked Fargo the movie must do themselves a favor and check out season one of Fargo, the TV series. This short trailer does not do it justice, to say the least ;)

In January HBO ran, and I recorded, every Game of Thrones and The Sopranos.
I gave up on Thrones after 2 seasons, too many families and characters to follow, besides, I needed to make room in the DVR for Sopranos.
Marone! Sopranos is the best thing I've ever seen on TV. I wish it could go on forever. (Thanks James Gandofini). I'm near the end of Season 3, ( Jackie Jr. is stepping up).
I encourage everyone who enjoyed Goodfellas or Godfather to get the HBO Go app and begin.

Anybody else catch "What We Do in the Shadows"? A vampire comedy by Jemaine Clement from "Flight of the Conchords" . Ridiculously hilarious. I planned on binging it but have to recover after each episode from laughing so much. Very clever. Very stupid.
10 half hour episodes from the first season (second season confirmed) available on Netflix, Amazon and probably others. At least watch "The Trial". Funnier after you watch the previous episodes but you gotta see the vampire cameos

Just blazed through both seasons of 'Bad Blood.' Hehehehehe. I really enjoyed it. Can't wait for season 3. Netflix.

I'm binging Orphan Black. I watched it first time around. I'm surprised how much I forgot. I'm enjoying it even more this time. Makes more sense. Sarah/Beth/Alison/Cosima/Rachel/and my favorite Helena, et al are amazing

Not so much binge watching, but I look at an episode while eating lunch. Jeopardy! And on Netflix of all places. Of course, there would be untold thousands of episodes to watch if they were all available. Whoever runs things over there at Netflix is showing the first episode of each year that Jeopardy was on the air. I believe the Alex Trebek version started back in 1984 and there he was, on 1984's first show, looking quite young and thin. A big, 1980's mustache planted on his face. Fast forward six years, or episodes, and Alex was wearing specs. Two more episodes and his hair was starting to turn gray. The overall set changes every so often as do the prizes given to the losers. (They didn't get to keep their money back then.) They offered a lot of passenger jet trips to various places and the jets get bigger and more powerful as the episodes roll by. I'm in the mid nineties so far, and third place players are being given Nintendo game sets to play "On those computers," as I heard Alex say in one episode. The game is still played the same way from 1984 to the present. I'm pleased to announce that I myself would still be a most successful player at the game. You see, when the board shows a particular 'answer' I hit the pause button on my remote and think about it for awhile. Then, if I have a correct 'question' I hit the play button and beat those other players to the punch. It works every time.

@juan A few months ago you made mention of a breaking bad movie. It's out now - El Camino A Breaking Bad Movie
It's worth the watch. Think its a Netflix film.. I think.

A while back, I gave "What We Do In The Shadows", a TigerLily Totally Recommended ®. Very clever and laugh out loud funny
Now you don't have to just take my word for it:
"Critics love the "What We Do in the Shadows" TV show just as much as they loved the original movie.
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 94% [Why only 94 and not 100? Some critics just don't get Vampire Humor - TL]
Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, who made the original "What We Do in the Shadows" film together, returned for the TV series adaptation, so it's probably no wonder critics are just as smitten with the horror comedy in its new incarnation.
"The four leads are great, the jokes crisp and fast and funny, and the visual effects are employed just as effectively as in the movie, folded seamlessly into the handheld-camera aesthetic so they seem all the more uncanny,"

Really?? I'm the only geek that watched all 15 seasons of Supernatural? We watched the last two episodes last night and both were like stand alone finales. Both were perfect endings and I admit. I cried at the end of the last one. So excellent
For those who may not know, a quick look. The show is a mix of dark apocalypse, smart comedy, surprisingly complex story arcs, interesting characters which include angels, demons, vampires, witches, for starters (and the good guys are not necessarily who you would expect) and a boatload of plaid wearing, beer drinking, truck driving, monster hunters and a great rock soundtrack. Really. Just a great show. Definitely binge-worthy. Even the weak seasons. But pace yourself. 15 seasons, y'know
Thanks for the ride guys. Carry on

Yep... He left Gilmore Girls for Supernatural.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Padalecki
While wrought with annoying-as-fuck characters, the Gilmore Girls did have some minor redeeming qualities... Hiring Leslie Phillips for the incidental music, giving Carole King an acting job and they would play a lot of allusionary jokes up... Including jabs previous acting gigs. (Including Ed Hermann's Herman Munster...)
Side character development was excellent on some. Some wore themselves out quickly and were "I wish he'd get hit by a truck" types.
Wanting to impregnate Lauren Graham via her throat was just an added bonus.🙄🙄🙄

Wasn't that the program written in verse, or some kind of poetry? That's the way it seemed to me, and the actors had to speak a mile a minute just to get their lines in. I never watched a whole episode, but it impressed me as close to Shakespearean. I'd change channels and compare it to Everybody Loves Raymond, which I also never watched a whole show of, but it seemed like they'd milk a line for an entire scene.
So, was Gilmore a family name, a school, a town, or a business they worked at or patronized?

I watched all four parts of a documentary on the Yorkshire Ripper. (On Netflix for a limited time.) I remember reading about the London serial killer back in the late seventies. Peter Sutcliffe was his name. He was kind of an odd looking chap, but appeared rather normal in many other respects. He was a lorry driver for the Clark Co. (I myself once drove a Clark Co. hyster.) Anyway, he killed thirteen women over a number of years until he was caught, quite by accident. Notice I didn't say thirteen prostitutes. If you watch the series you will see why the London police were bewitched, bewildered, and beguiled for all those years because they took it into their heads from day one that only prostitutes were being murdered. After having watched the documentary, I looked Sutcliffe up to see what ever became of him. Plus One for the coronavirus:

It's the family name... Blue bloods... The daughter rejected their ways and their society and went off on her own at a young age. The whole series is sprinkled with her reconciling those two parts of her life.
The writing is very Woody Allen-esque.
The vomitous lines were to convey the character's intelligence beyond societal placement. Witty intelligence was her fighting the system... Smartassing.
Lorelei and Rory (and Kirk and everybody else) were dysfunctional.
Useless trivia:
Sally Strouthers and the dance teacher Patty are real life friends going back to 1970.
That band Lane started in the show still plays together at fan events but Sebastian Bach doesn't go to the events.
There was a phone number on the show that was really a working line that the guy who played Luke set up to publicize his real life brother who was a doctor. I think it was a charity thing.
Chinese spies named Stars Hollow as a potential location to detonate a nuclear dirty bomb. I concur. 🙄

Great timing, I see he just died recently. Hope it was like three weeks of perpetual drowning. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

WTF? :o
Right? Fucking @sean92008 ::) says the weirdest shit!
-
I have a real problem with today's TV shows because it seems like all of them are a continuous series. I grew up watching TV pre-2000 a sure some have some character development within a season, but most shows I watched had episodes have a story in it, that I can miss a couple of episodes and drop back in and not be totally lost.
IT might be me with commitment issues lol, but it's really difficult to commit to a show. The last one I really did that was Bates Motel. I have done that with American Horror Story, but at least every season they switch it up. I did watch the first full season of Locke and Key on Netflix

New series, Your Honor. Stars Brian Cranston is proving to be quite good :)
This is a drama to say the least and has some circumstantial similarities to Breaking Bad. Episode 5 airs next Sunday night as this is as I said a new series so binging is not really happening with me. But you could binge on all four episodes tonight!

I am watching Superstore now. It is frustrating at how stupid some of the characters are. It is written similarly to The Office and Parks and Recreation, a real formula... but it works.

@sean92008 Is the humor more slapstick with that show? Never heard of it.
If you haven't already watched the Queens Gambit I would highly recommend it. Only 7 episodes but they're a full hour and then some.

I have heard of that, don't know where, possibly a radio show. Who knows, maybe it was Coast to Coast AM...
Yes, that looks good. I have seen quite a few ads for it.
Superstore is so formulaic I don't know if I could recommend it. There is some physical comedy along with annoying characters who do outrageous things that would get them punched in the face most of the time. I do like the relationship dynamics and some of the inside jokes. It gets old and most of the characters should be strangled and left for the ants to devour... It's kind of like a weakened version of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Parks and Recreation and The Office.
Superstore is streaming on Hulu. I'm using one of my kids free student accounts, there are commercials.

I recommend a BBC series on Netflix called "W1A," it's literally the BBC making fun of itself. Anyone who's even sit in high level staff meeting will recognize the stereotypical characters and their ridiculous, self-important titles depicted in the series. I favorite in the show was the lady who was the "Director of Better."

WA1 will get my eyespace.
I'm currently binging X-Files (although I've skipped 2 or 3 episodes so far as I approach finishing season 4...)
If I haven't mentioned it yet, William and Mary was an okay series. Three seasons from ITV in England. I think I saw it on Netflix or Amazon Prime. Possibly the Roku Channel or Hulu too.

@whoozit What's it about

About a doomed expedition to find the Northwest Passage. The book was speculative horror about the real expedition that disappeared. I believe they located the ships, The Erebus and The Terror, a few years ago. I am always disappointed by adaptions of books by movies or tv. I watched the first two installments last night. @KSM

It is a miniseries, I believe it is ten episodes. They did a second season but I think those are each unconnected stories. There is he scene in the book about a winter carnival held by the ships while trapped in the ice that I wish Stanley Kubrick had filmed. @KSM. Dan Simmons is a very good author that writes in many genres. He is best known for horror and science fiction, but always leans towards horror. Imagine the story telling of Stephen King, without all the verbal diarrhea, combined with better writing.

I binged the first season on your recommendation @whoozit . I really enjoyed it. :) My husband refused to watch it because he had polar bear PTSD from watching Lost.

Strangely, I have been laughing out loud a lot more than I have for any other show. Completely unexpected... Community.
Honestly, I've avoided it for ages because of Chevy Chase's presence. Everything he's done after Saturday Night Live has pretty much sucked.

If anybody is interested in Community (Netflix) and liked Glee... Watch S3E10
I'm still watching Barney Miller as well (Roku). I'm only up into season 3 when Fish is starting his spin-off. It is interesting that the staff board erased Fish's name quickly while keeping Linda Lavin's Detective Wentworth and Detective Batista's name on the board even though they were not associated with the show anymore and they even referenced Chano whose actor, Gregory Sierra, left the show two years earlier for an ill-fated show that didn't even make it a whole season.

Just finished Community. Season 6 was tough, but overall a great show.
I just started a made for Netflix Show featuring Rupert Grint called Sick Note.

I recently purchased a number of 70's television series. (I like the clothes) Born in 73 I was not able to enjoy gems like the Rockford Files, MASH, and the SIX Million Dollar Man! FUCKIN SIX MILLION, FOLKS! We just sold our house last September for about 1 and 1/4 bionic leg! So Steve Austin was really something..
Amongst the box sets I purchased was Quincy M.E. with Jack Klugman. I like it, a-lot, but as the seasons roll by I'm seeing no shortage of what we now call virtue signaling and white shaming. Even back then - of course the white nurse gave a second injection into an original injection site thus killing the patient ON PURPOSE and letting the black Dr. take the fall for it. :o :o :o It almost worked but the ever the Pitbull Quincy just wouldn't let it go and he eventually nailed the bitch!

@KSM - Just based on the opening credits, isn't there a bit of misogyny and chauvinism in that show? 😁😁😁
I love this on my Roku:
https://railstream.net/live-cameras
It's also fun that a couple of the live feeds are at places where people like to tape pennies to the tracks. I also enjoy the birds singing on camera.
Love trains. When I lived in the Vegas Valley, trains would come through on occasion in the middle of the night, I loved it. While neighbors bitched, I rejoiced.
When I mentioned that I love trains to an old friend of mine he mentioned that it's not so fun when you live yards away from the tracks as opposed to a mile. Oops.

Yeah I guess you're right about the opening credits. But we're MEN, and it is out God given right to be chauvinistic.
I'll admit that I could watch that RE your link for quite some time.

Sobhraj's story is stranger than fiction. Charlie Sobhraj? His story is not unlike Charlie Mason. Both men form a family of killers. After a point the grift and murders cease to shock. Belief it or not conman Charles Sobhra is still alive.

The series follows the cat and mouse chase.

As it turns out, almost the entirety of the eight episodes was filmed in and around Bangkok, with the rest recreated back in the UK, after the enforced shutdown of the March pandemic.

Jim Rockford:
But I will need a diversion so I can get back to Bloomberg's room and try to talk to him.
Angel Martin:
Ohh. Now we're getting to the nitty-gritty. Now it's beginning to make sense. 'Come on over to Rocky's, Angel.' Serve my favorite food. First time I been invited over here for so much as a glass of water.
Joseph 'Rocky' Rockford:
I could use a little help in the kitchen with the coffee and dessert.

Forget about the dessert, you don't buy Angel Martin with a couple of drumsticks and some redeye gravy.

Stuart Margolin was on the X-Files reboot. He played Dr. They. Only in brief moments could I recognize his voice. The name was familiar during the credits, I Googled it while I was watching to find out who he played... I was shocked that he wasn't recognizable.

Harry O played opposite The Rockford Files for a couple of seasons. It was a truly great detective show but I was the only one that watched it, so it was cancelled after the second season.

I began netlix's THE SERPENT last night. Ugh - one of those bouncing around story lines from "three months earlier" to "Two months later" as well as other time variations. I'm fine with a few to help the story along in any way it can but 10 times in the 58 minute pilot alone?
Nope. Not doing it. Looking extremely predictable as well :-\

Thanks for the warning.

Ok, fair enough @KSM. So you are not a flash back type of person.
Not sure if this TV series is available to your area. "YELLOWSTONE." Kevin Costner as John Dutton. The Dutton family, led by patriarch John Dutton, controls the largest contiguous cattle ranch in the U.S.A.
It is a great series. 97% of the time, no flashbacks.

I don't mind a few call backs but when the entire storyline is constantly relying on it I do something else. Not a big TV guy anyway.

Sorry @Zetaspeak the whole idea is you can binge a series but not a movie. Wait. I take that back. You can binge the Dark Knight movies back to back. The X-Men; even the different re-boots of Star Trek and Star Wars. Those would have been excellent pastimes during the COVID lockdown. Binge away, Z. Binge away

I'm watching St. Elsewhere (s1e4 with a heavy One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest reference). God, what a great show. I can't wait for Mrs. Hufnagel!
Just started Shadow and Bone. Really awkward first episode, poorly set-up, no backstory. Looks like it could be good, maybe great Plus, they show Asian-mix ass

This week of BINGE watching? I need to escape from 2021.
One Step Beyond
Like The Twilight Zone, One Step Beyond is a hosted anthology series about other-wordly phenomena. But it actually debuted nine months before The Twilight Zone.
The TWILIGHT ZONE has stood the test of time. However, I enjoy watching ONE STEP BEYOND on YouTube.
One Step Beyond": The Visitor. May 10 1960.
A bitter wife (Joan Fontaine) is visited by a younger version of her husband (Warren Beatty), who wants to rekindle their failing marriage.

Just finished St. Elsewhere... Starting Hill Street Blues.
40 years on... Most of the surviving stars are in their 70s.

It is sad that my mindspace is cluttered with hot memories that really don't pertain to myself.
I remember, distinctly might I add, that detective Washington on Hill Street Blues once said "statue-tory rape" to LaRue. I am binging the show right now and I'm up to Series 3 episode 17, I believe I'm now I'm watching the episode that he will say that. Why in the hell am I remembering that?
I am really loving watching Hill Street Blues. Not the greatest show of all time, but enthralling.

I finally got to the episode where he said that.. the girl in question was Ally Sheedy.
Shay, Hill Street Blues was definitely a groundbreaking show. I really appreciate it now so much more than I did when it was originally on, probably because of age but also because I can binge it like this and really get the impact of how intense the show is.

In the fifth year of Hill Street blues, a regular extra, Robert Hirschfield who played desk clerk Leo, started to get an opening credit... That is instead of getting an end of show "also starring" mention... I noticed, on maybe episode 15 or 16 that he was getting credit at the end of the show as well as at the beginning. An oversight, obviously. He had been relegated to the end of the show credits for so long, likely over 90 episodes, I found it funny.
-
I am just a few episodes away from finishing Hill Street Blues. I don't know how many TV shows have changed their opening sequence so often in one single season. They have a different opening sequence depending on who is being featured. They also had a lot of cast changes that last season.
It was a real groundbreaking show and wasn't just limited to its script.
I am going to mourn the end of this binge. I am running out of connections to my past. I didn't watch a whole hell of a lot of television.
Star Trek The Next Generation
X-Files
St. Elsewhere
Hill Street Blues
Twilight Zone

Netflix is often a WOKE disappointment for me.
However, I really like the Stranger Things series. The show is set in the 80's-a mix of investigative drama alongside supernatural elements portrayed with horror, science fiction and childlike sensibilities.

Mourning the end of a binge. Why does this happen? What does that say about someone? It is odd, you must admit. I was bummed when I finished the Ray Donavan binge.
Hill Street must have been a long one.. seemed like it went on forever. You could binge on Law & Order. Like 88 seasons? No need to mourn as you can just restart it and watch like you've never seen it. @sean92008

@THRUST MEATNOZZLE - L&O, NCIS and that other procedural seem impossible! I thought about Breaking Bad but I've watched the final episode a bunch of times. I don't know if I could plod through it now. I like Chris Carter for his taste in music though ;D
Other than the acknowledgement that those days (the 80s) are over, it was an enthralling roller coaster for both St. E & HSB. My fix is gone. Kind of like when a company stops making your favorite addictive substance. There's a withdrawal.
Some shows don't binge well. Continuity, inconsistent backstories or histories, weak writing all can get over-emphasized in the binge. Jack Webb's regular cast of characters showing up in a quarter of the Dragnet/Adam-12/Emergency! shows seems like every day in a binge.
Hill Street and St. Elsewhere, to their credit, kept the history consistent. Something that happened in season one gets referred to in dozens of shows throughout the entire run.
To me, those shows, along with Twilight Zone, X-Files, ST: TNG all can be watched multiple times as they are timeless.
Tougher to binge, but still entertaining is ST: DS9, Barney Miller and Rockford Files. Superstore was nice at times. Because of that, I just saw the pilot for Ugly Betty. America Ferrera is intriguing, but I hate her politics and some of the shit she's done to make USC a less friendly place.
I don't know what my next binge is. If I had a hobby that wasn't painful or depressing, maybe I'd stop the TV for a while.

Ah, good point on L&O. Admittingly I've yet to watch one episode let alone a season or two so I'm not sure why but I figured that it was history consistent. It looks very dark to me. Literally, dark, like the are saving power with low wattage bulbs. I hate that.
Long ago I posted that I followed Y&R (the young and the restless) for many years. I would watch it daily in my hotel room and eventually half the band and sometimes even crew got hooked ;D As screwed up as it sounds I would love to have the dvd series running from 1986 thru 2013 (years I followed) for Seattle binging as I will not be permitted to work for the first year.
"Join us again, for the Young - and the Restless" Ahhh the days :'(

Started watching Superstore again. This time, on the Peacock app. Apparently, I qualify for a free subscription due to previous business relationships.
A show I've tried to start a couple of times and couldn't last past an episode was a BBC production called Miranda. The Roku channel has it and I was able to binge from episode 1. Big draw on this show is the fact that they used a few of the old Absolutely Fabulous sets. Five episodes into it and I'm starting to wear thin.
-
BBC's Miranda:
A mix of Mr. Bean, AbFab, Seinfeld. Falling short of all.
A total of 20 episodes. No way she could have sustained it in America. Government and compelled public support for that network allows for that, I guess.

Saw John Cleese at the Mondavi Center a few years ago. He is SO funny. He asked how many people in the audience had seen Fawty Towers. Not many at all, I was surprised.
Also saw him in the 70s for Monty Python Live at the City Center. He came in the back, was dressed up like the venders at baseball games. After having to SHUSH us, he headed down the aisle hollaring "ALBATROSS".

Sounds like a rather brief encounter. Perhaps he was on a tight schedule and ran out of THYME.

If it were some sort of vortex portal, instead of a big fucking hole, I could see where people could transport to it. Falling down a big hole could kill you.

There's not much I watch on TV unless it's an older show and just a few current ones. I'm still mad that Prodigal Son was canceled. Anyway...
There have been attempts to remake Brit TV shows here and most fell flat. Coupling, Men Behaving Badly, Amanda (based on Fawlty Towers), and more. Ugh.
I think the only ones that were better than the British versions were All in the Family and Sanford and Son. There's a new one called Ghosts and it's a fun show. Admittedly I have not seen the Brit version, so I can't compare but I like it.
By the way, @TigerLily have you ever watched Lovejoy?
-

I was curious about that show but as soon as I saw the trailer and it was a big sinkhole I thought it was dumb. Just go down a waterfall like in Land of the Lost. ;D

I would have to say that I like the American version of The Office better as well. It was livelier. Ricky's version was funny but at a 4-level. The American version had all sorts of ensemble stuff going on simultaneously on many occasions.
Michael Scott is still more infuriating though.

Writing 6 episodes a year, I'd expect they'd have non-stop zingers. 20+ episodes in America and so much more is accomplished. I think Ricky Gervais has even addressed that critique... 🙄

No. I haven't watched Lovejoy. Hadn't even heard of it. I'm assuming it's British? I will look for it. Ghosts is much better than I thought it would be. Pretty fun
And @ShayP I also really liked Prodigal Son. The third season would have been so awesome with the psycho killer doctor on the loose. I couldn't believe they cancelled that! Seems to happen to all the good ones that don't follow the typical formula

@TigerLily Prodigal Son could've gone in so many directions with each main cast member. Their own story arc. I was thinking maybe the daughter had the serial killer mentality like her father. The characters were so good. Oh well.
Lovejoy is a British comedy-drama focused on the antiques trade. Each episode had a mystery to be solved. As well as some sort of swindle or con. The characters were great, as were the storylines. Ian McShane played Lovejoy. If you are familiar with Deadwood he also played Al Swearengen.

Took wife to airport for early as fuck flight to WA. Ridiculous flight time and no mood to deal with Asian Air Canada folk after a long line of other weary passengers. Some with screaming kids.

There are so many series that had been put on hold... I wonder if they will ever come back.
Stranger Things, Space Force and Derry Girls to name three.
After seeing what happened with Brooklyn Nine-Nine on their return, that whole woke attitude crap could really spoil their returns. The first return episode of b99 was so horrendously unfunny, I I have no plans to watch the rest of the season.

A buddy of mine pressured me into watching Stranger Things. I resisted but he wouldn't let go. So I got a free Netflix trial and binged season 1 and a couple episodes of season 2. I simply could not get into it at all. Never had an interest in Brooklyn Nine-Nine and I never heard of the other two you mentioned.
I'm so fixated on older shows right now. I mix in Ghosts, the FBI shows, and NCIS here and there. I like the guy who replaced Gibbs on NCIS better. It's the guy that played Lumbergh on Office Space. Oh, and I gave the new Magnum P.I. a chance after poo pooing it. It's pretty good.
After I'm done with The Rockford Files I think I'll watch Space:1999.

I sporadically watched In The Heat of the Night while it was airing on Me-TV. The video quality was awful and it was the earlier episodes before some of the cast changed. Very enthralling television. Enjoyable.

Tubi is one of those free movie/tv services that you can get for free on your computer or tablet. Overall I'm satisfied with it because they have lots of content and many categories. I recently watched Richard Chamberlain in the movie The Count of Monte Cristo. A great movie but it hadn't been on cable or dvd since the 1970s. The only drawback is the commercials which are exasperating to watch.

@ItsOver Browsing tubi a few days ago I noticed a few documentaries that I had not noticed before. One of them is/was called FART The title is not misleading for it is accurate with regards to the films content.
As far as the Roku movie channel goes the commercials are at least four times louder than the movies themselves. It is absolutely ridiculous how LOUD they are. All the other free movie channels have the normal volumes.

I think you can count on one hand the hard Sci Fi tv series that have been on tv. And I'm watching probably one of the best. Surprisingly, Expanse started it's run on the SciFi Channel but after 3 years was taken over by Amazon. It finished it's 6th and final season earlier this December. I'm currently about 3 episodes into the 5th season.
A quick synopsis with no spoilers. Set in the not too near not too far future. Humanity has moved out into our solar system. Complex bases on the Moon. Bases on Mars' moons as well as significant terraforming on Mars itself. And significant mining on the Belt and on all the rocks between Mars and Jupiter with Ceres being the nominal headquarters for the Belters. A Cold War is brewing between Mars and Earth. The Belters are also chafing under Earth and Mars domination but hardly looked at as more than Labor and Pirates.
Straightforward SciFi, right? Then things start to get weird. And weirder. A huge cast of well-drawn characters and and some are definitely characters. Complex storylines that weave together into a curious unknown fabric. That's as far as I'm going to go. A great show. TigerLily highly recommended
All 6 seasons are on Amazon Prime but I believe the first 5 are on Netflix with the 6th soon to follow

I have yet to see a minute of Supernatural even though it always seemed like something that would interest me, and every person I know who's seen it raves about the show. Why have I not taken the plunge? I think it's time.

I watched the remake of All Creatures Great and Small. As there was nothing wrong with the first adaptation, I was skeptical. I figured I would hate it but I didn't. Even though it strayed far afield from the storyline of the books regarding the prominence of Mrs. Hall I still liked it. I have no idea where they dug up the dude that plays Siegfried Farnon but wow - he looks just like I pictured him the books - "The most English looking man I have ever met".

Just finished season one of Wheel of Time on Amazon Prime. Hey! That's a rhyme! And one more time!
Anyway, based on the series of Sword and Sorcery books by Robert Jordan. Very well done. Intelligent. Plenty of action. Interesting characters. I'm on pins and needles until season 2 comes out in November. WARNING to all you chauvinist pigs: The women may all be beautiful and scantily dressed but they are totally in charge. And btw nice male eye candy. Just how I like my fantasies. TigerLily thumbs up

Yay @ShayP ! I'm glad you are enjoying it! Would Lily ever steer you wrong? If you are a slow watcher just think. Eleven or was it 13 seasons to savor. At some time I probably will watch them all over again. On my deathbed or with the Covid-85. I know. Baby is a sweet ride

@TigerLily I'm laughing at "Covid-85' I've been getting DVDs through Netflix. I don't do the streaming thing. I'm almost done with season 2. This is my favorite thing to watch. There are only 3 or 4 episodes on each DVD. If there were more I'd be further along. Oh well.
I know you wouldn't steer me wrong. ;)
Oh, I think it's actually 14 seasons. Lots of watching to do!

Funny, I was just contemplating asking everyone on my account if they're still watching anything. Other than season 4 of Stranger Things, and the hope that Derry Girls comes back on for another season, I think I'm done with them. I haven't opened the account for a few weeks, it seems.

I have been watching the final season of Mr Mayor.
Season 2 has not been very good after a short season 1 showed a lot of promise. I stopped mid-episode 8 and tried to resume after a few days of rest, just can't do it.
I must say Holly Hunter has really impressed me with her comedy chops. I would not mind seeing her in many other shows what she has lost and looks with all the wrinkles and stuff, she has added in just a lovable antagonist.

For those who like the true crime - cold case files, Netflix has the docuseries Where Are You DB Cooper
Originally in movie format they have it broken down into four parts. An easy one-day binge. The movie is close to three hours long, but I liked having it in segments just as well. IMO they could have condensed the thing down to a great 90-minute movie or three-part series because they really try to get a lot of unnecessary mileage out of some parts.
If you have not seen it, but plan to watch it, you not want to scroll down. It IS worth the watch though. However, one time is enough.
Episode 1. Great! Well done, and it sucks you right in.
Episode 2. Great as well. They have a definite candidate, and the guy is alive and well at the time this investigation took place. 2013
Episode 3. More of episode two. This is bloat. Not needed but it's, ok.
Episode 4. Very good! However, they seem to be off about the main suspect and begin focusing on a Canadian fighter pilot who also fit the profile very well.
....................and then..............
SPOILER
What's the takeaway? NOTHING! Nobody agrees and nothing is 100% nailed down. If anything, things are narrowed down to just the possible two suspects covered in episodes 2,3,and 4 where the fighter pilot comes in.
In short: No real answers and nobody is happy, you may feel a tad ripped off as you want you day back.

I ditched Netflix a few months back, so I haven't seen this new series. I am a student of the Cooper skyjack, however, and have been active in the "citizen slueth" community seeking to solve the case.
Your mention of the RCAF fighter pilot is a bit confusing. Are you talking about an actual suspect or about the fictional RCAF fighter pilot "Dan Cooper" from the French/Belgium comic book of the same name? Many suspect the skyjacker took his name from the comic book character, especially since a couple of the comic story lines included elements used in the crime. I don't feel strongly either way as to whether the comic played a part in the skyjacking, but must admit there are a number of synchronizes that are different to ignore.
If you are interested in the Cooper case, I recommend you listen to the "Cooper Vortex" podcast. It's hosted by a young guy named Darren Schaefer, and last I checked was up to over 60 episodes. Everybody who's anybody in the "Vortex" has been on the show, including recently retired FBI case agent Larry Carr. A few of the guests are off their nuts, but overall they are really knowledge.

I enjoyed the show...bitch slapped ideologues, but informed on facts not commonly known. I'd recommend a watch!

The problem I have with the various documentaries/books on the Cooper case is so many of them are produced to champion a specific suspect as the hijacker. They work long and hard to build a case to support their guy, but conveniently ignore evidence that would eliminate that guy almost immediately.
There is a YouTuber (and pilot/parachutist) by the name of Gryder who recently did a two parter where he identifies his guy as Cooper, except he completely ignores documented evidence and first person testimony of the NWO stew who sat next to Cooper for most of the ordeal. Gryder's videos are entertaining, but total unconvincing to anyone with a working knowledge of the case.

You can say this about almost every single "unsolved mystery" or conspiracy theory that anyone is producing a movie, tv show, or book about. It isn't about trying to solve the matter. It's about making money and dick-measuring about having "solved" the case.

Your mention of the RCAF fighter pilot is a bit confusing. Are you talking about an actual suspect or about the fictional RCAF fighter pilot "Dan Cooper" from the French/Belgium comic book of the same name?
Both. The suspect, or candidate, in this case went with the inspired identity of Dan Cooper the comic book character. And being that he had all the necessary training to pull off such a heist, he fit the bill quite well. He was also said to have requested that the 200K be in "American currency" This would perhaps suggest that his native currency was not American. Who knows? They sure as hell don't.

Are you SURE that it wasn't Falkie? He was much thinner back then, says he.
Dan Cooper the comic book character.
The BELGIAN comic book character. @PB is Belgian. After fifty years, it is all coming together.

And yet as far as I have been able to tell, no Cooper researchers have bothered to seek case documents from either the RCMP or Interpol. Also worth noting the stew who sat next to and talked to him for the majority of the hijacking told the FBI Cooper had no discernible accent. If he was a fan of the Dan Cooper comic book, he'd have needed to be able to read French, however.
I personally think the guy was a then current or then recently former member of one of the FFL parachute regiment.

That narrows it down to Alex Trebek and a few million other people that can read French and speak English with no discernible accent.

Probably, but as I said earlier I'm not convinced the comic book is part of the Cooper equation. I know the FBI gave the comic almost no relevance. So that means Trebek is joined in the suspect pool by the likes of Wink Martindale, Chuck Woolery, and Jack Narz.

Huge Martin Short fan so was super happy to see him. It was a fun murder mystery show with a good top 3 main cast.

‘Yellowstone’ season 4. “Yellowstone” returned last Sunday night with a special two hour premiere, and it was incredible. ‘Yellowstone’ ends Season 3 with one of the greatest cliffhangers In TV History.
https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1459755724309889026
The Dutton family is expanding with the addition of James Badge Dale (Hightown, 24), Darren Mann (Animal Kingdom, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), and Marley Shelton (Never Been Kissed, Rise) to the Paramount+ Yellowstone spinoff 1923.
Additional newly added cast members include Michelle Randolph (The Resort), Brian Geraghty(Big Sky, Chicago P.D.), Aminah Nieves (Blueberry, V/H/S/99), and Julia Schlaepfer (The Politician).
They join previously announced leads Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren who will portray the Dutton family’s patriarch and matriarch, Jacob and Cara, respectively. As well as Sebastian Roché whose casting was exclusively announced by Deadline earlier this month.
Character descriptions from Paramount+ can be found below.
Ford will play Jacob Dutton, the patriarch of the Yellowstone ranch, husband to Cara Dutton, and brother of James Dutton; Mirren will play Cara Dutton, the wife to Jacob Dutton and family matriarch.
Dale will play John Dutton Sr., the oldest nephew and right-hand man of Jacob Dutton; Mann will play Jack Dutton, John Dutton Sr.’s son and great-nephew to Jacob Dutton. He is a dedicated rancher who is deeply loyal to his family; Shelton will play Emma Dutton, the dutiful wife of John Dutton Sr. and the mother of Jack Dutton.
Randolph will play Elizabeth Strafford, a feisty and capable young woman set to marry into the Dutton family.
Geraghty will play Zane, a fiercely loyal ranch foreman; Nieves will play Teonna Rainwater, a young woman at a government residential boarding school; Schlaepfer will play Alexandra, a British woman who meets one of the Duttons abroad.
The new installment from Taylor Sheridan will introduce a new generation of the Dutton family and explore the early 20th century when pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition, and the Great Depression all plague the Mountain West, and the Duttons who call it home.
The Dutton family’s saga began with Yellowstone, led by Kevin Costner in the role of John Dutton, returning with its fifth season on November 13. The series follows the drama involving the family and local residents of their Montana ranch, Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, which borders the Broken Rock Indian Reservation. Gil Birmingham, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Danny Huston, and Cole Hauser also star.

20 years ago, I watched the late, great and occasionally goofy Suzanne Whang host and narrate House Hunters. Three homes toured with a purchase at the end. A local real estate agent is there.
Then, as I am searching the Roku Channel lineup, I find this show. Three homes, suggestions, no house purchase at the end. How completely Irish of them! What's worse, many of the houses don't have indoor plumbing. Occasionally, they'll say something about hoping the house has electricity. I guess Ireland has a long way to go to get out of the 1800s.
Maggie and Kieran are more like the know-it-all neighbors who don't know much, still very charming. They speak English and have outhouses in 2020.

I have been watching Deep Space 9 on Pluto TV. Binging through the first maybe 40 episodes was a bit difficult. Man, oh man, it really got good later on. I really need to binge them properly, with no commercials, but I'm enjoying this a lot.
So, in the episode I'm watching right now and actor has this really wonderful delivery on his role, great voice with a tinge of cowboy and the episode is a reference to the Magnificent Seven. I'm really enjoying the episode, I had to Google the actor playing the role who really nailed it...
Iggy Pop!

Been watching The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch. Like any of these reality shows, probably lots of the stuff is staged but its been decently entertaining. Strange light beams shooting into the sky, weird helicopters hovering around, pile of bones found in a secret chamber in a basement, etc. After hearing so much about the ranch its been interesting to at least see what it looks like [which is like any western ranch really]. As there has been some cattle mutilations in the past, the team at the ranch brings in 40+ head and keeps them under observation. To spice things up they bring in a couple of Alpaca to see what happens. Some sort of dog thing attacks the Alpaca and you can hear them screaming. Alpaca screams are pretty unsettling. They call a vet who has to sew up the mauled Alpaca. Next a cow croaks. Call a vet again, who then does an autopsy out in the field and finds that the poor thing had pneumonia. They inform the guy that bought the place from Bigelow and he's like "Whoa Whoa. I'll be right out with an expert"
Turns out to be Linda Moulton Howe of course. So now you've got 80 year old Linda out in a field looking at a pneumoniad dead cow. :P

Turns out that the Roku Channel has a series being promoted as brand new... Trailer Park Boys: The Swearenet Show...
Turns out it's a combination of rehash, archive footage and new stuff. It has the late John Densmore both with live action and voice.
It's not overly laugh-inducing but it is mildly pleasant to watch.
They are beating a dead horse though. It's been 15 years since the main show went off the air and it seems to be their one trick pony. They tried another pony and it wasn't horrible, just didn't stick very well. I think they called that the Happy Funtime Show.

I was trolling through some new channels the LBTV service. One of them is called Winnie's World. It's obviously done by somebody from their home computer, crap quality and weirdness with something like Google ads running as commercials...
There was an intriguing show on, possibly 240 resolution. It was a starship with some genius kid in it and a captain who looked almost like Will Riker from Star Trek.
Well, one of the so-called commercial breaks had this weird supposedly comedy thing as read by this 7 year old kid named Winnie. It is awful, but I guess that passes as entertainment nowadays with the fucking retard demographic...
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
The spaceship show was probably Canadian. Dark uniforms a kid with a sky high IQ and a gym that looked like it was filmed at a family fitness center. There's an Asian chick with short hair being exploited for her hot body, a guy that's totally a GQ model who couldn't act much but really looked good on camera, it's got to be Canadian!

If you are any of a Star Trek TNG fan, DS9 gets better after the first season.
Ricky Gervais has a few easy to watch series.

Well, actually, no. Heard of it. On the surface it sounds like a homeless, parentless black kid. So now I'll look it up..
Ok. After searching it I see that it is/was a Canadian series. No wonder it sounded familiar. Won some awards.. Hmm.

In 2018 I was pretty sick for awhile and was looking for entertainment. I stumbled on it. One season gets really weird but I thought the woman that starred in it did a terrific job playing a bunch of different roles.
The 100 is another Canadian series I binged watched back then. In fact I think the last season I still need to watch sometime.
Falling Skies was decent. Dark Matter was ok but it got canceled. Mr Robot held my attention.

Or if you do want something rather elderly, The Bob Newhart Show is available on Amazon Prime. Great chance to sharpen your drinking skills with a game of Hi Bob (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi,_Bob) while watching. Big gulp of cheap beer for every "Bob" and you shotgun a can for every "Hi Bob!". To mix things up, you can blow up your buddy on occasion too.

Steven Moffat is a familiar name. I think I remember him because he worked with Dawn French. Googling it, he worked on Murder Most Horrid (a series I really enjoyed).
He's also got a ton of Doctor Who credits.
That pedigree alone will be worth a look-see.

I was just a wee wee lad when some dude killed the hippo at the Detroit Zoo. I remember that but wasn't aware of the other hell raining down on the beasts at the time. Jesus......
The Nation: Animal Farm
Monday, June 28, 1971
The director of the Detroit zoo hired four new security guards last week, not to contain the wildness within the cages, but to protect the animals from the inhumanity of man. In the past two years, the zoo population has been victimized by deliberate acts of brutality. A baby Australian wallaby left the protection of its mother's pouch and was stoned to death; a duck died with a steel-tipped hunting arrow in its breast. A pregnant reindeer miscarried after firecracker-hurling youths bombed the frantic animal into convulsions. Visitors have been observed dropping lighted cigar butts on the backs of alligators, watching the ashes burn through the reptiles' skin, then breaking into laughter when the alligators reacted to the severe burn. Finally, the zoo's male hippopotamus choked to death last week after someone responded to the hippo's open-mouthed begging for peanuts by rolling a tennis ball down its throat. The zookeepers were left to wonder whether it was their charges or their visitors that really should be caged.

And they're very nasty.
Causing an estimated 500 deaths annually (as compared to only 22 for lions), hippos are deadly land mammals. This is because they are very aggressive and territorial, and have a habit of charging at boats and capsizing them.

This hit a nerve for me. I will never forget seeing Guy the Gorilla in the London Zoo about 1977. He was in such a small enclosure there was no privacy whatever from the mobs of children screaming at the glass on both sides. He sat as far away as possible in the middle with his head down. There was a moment he turned for some reason and looked directly at me. Our minds met and I swear he said, exactly and sadly, "What did I ever do to deserve this?"

EC came right after the end of BB and just before the end of BCS, but BCS is not linear. I’d say watch it before the last season of BCS.

My unsolicited advice is to junk all of that and rotate over to MonsterQuest on FreeVee. What a hoot. Watched a group of dudes greasing around Ohio because they somehow think that a 9 foot Primate lives there. Another episode they captured a wild pig down in Texas and mounted a Hog Cam on it and released it. So got to see some pig cam action as it hauled ass thru the bush but no Super Hog was found. Then they moved onto NYC where they caught a rat and tried to mount Rat Cam onto it. Sadly it was too heavy and the rat just sat there in a funk so no Super Rat was found. Then some poor bastard went to take a crap and found a big ass rat in his bowl so he routed it with a Louisville Slugger. Good times. ;D

Should I do El Camino before, during or after BCS?
I hope EC is on Netflix or Prime...
Does Brock grow up to be a gun-toting 11-year old too?
I know Mike goes dark, but I like Mike so far too. Great character development.
El Camino is on Netflix too. If I had to do it again, I’d wait until I finished BCS to watch.
Mike gets even better in BCS
-
EC came right after the end of BB and just before the end of BCS, but BCS is not linear. I’d say watch it before the last season of BCS.
This would work well too.
-
I've been thinking this all along, but Junior and Marie should have be box-cutted in season 1. Those two make everybody's business their own. Asshole characters.
Damn you, Vince Gilligan!

Lessons learned up through to the last two episodes of Breaking Bad...
People with cerebral palsy don't just sound slow*. That character, Walt Jr, is a fucking idiot. Doesn't know when to shut up and gets in other people's business way too much.
Sister bitch was even nosier than the cerebral palsy tard. There are times when family should die.
Lots of FAFO examples. If you keep picking, you're going to earn a scab.
Illicit drugs make beaucoup bucks.
The Pontiac Aztek was a sturdy car.
*I know, I know, CP doesn't really make people stupid. They're only held back with their physical limitations.

Half Measures/Full Measure are probably my favorite episodes of the series.

Yeah, intense stuff.
Worst episode IMO was FLY. It was like a bad Twilight Zone episode.

Never got the hate for that one. But I also really like bottle episodes.
"I never told you..." Walt says, as he's zonked out on the sleeping pills. Almost tells Jesse he let Jane die.
-
Right now, it's too fresh. There was a couple of annoying sequences that I thought "that took too long." Maybe I'll formulate more opinions as it ages in my head.
On BCS now.

Vince Gilligan didn't know if AMC was picking up the show past the Gus blowie uppy episode, so he made it a series finale, if AMC decided that season would be the end of the line. Since they renewed it for season 5, they needed new villains. Enter the neo-Nazis, and Jesse in a slave pit. Meh.

I thought it was just SJWs pissed that all the bad characters were Latin Americans. You know there's a gazillion Nazis in America

You also need to watch this alternate ending.

You also need to watch this alternate ending.
Having seen the final BB episode without any context, not seeing any other episodes, it was a nice wrap-up. I then saw the video with the alternate ending. Loved it.
If you haven't seen it in the Celebrity Deaths thread, the person that thought of the cross show dream ending was Bob Newhart's wife, she recently died.
I'm up to episode 8 of Better Call Saul's first season. It's finally in full gear with the old folks home class action episode.

My most endearing character vote goes to Mike Ehrmantraut. Sherry is fun too
Humm... Sopranos might work in the future.
Humm...

Done with BB, El Camino, BCS...
Better Call Saul's ending was weak compared to my expectations.
El Camino kind of went nowhere for me. This was obviously an episode of Breaking Bad, a long one without closure.
Neither had that emotional connection that Walter (or even Mike's) death had.
Still, incredible characters, many non-Hollywood people. Remarkable.

I figure Jesse Brings Meth to Canada is next.
I had thought that Kim and Lalo would hook up, and the next series would be Kim Rums the Cartel.

They could have at least had a scene of Francesca having a retirement party at the MVD or cerebral palsy boy getting shot after berating a drug dealer, or Jesse. Skyler being a girlfriend in prison or a druggie.
Vince Gilligan has done some good comedy (the Brady Bunch episode on X-Files is a classic). Something, anything could have helped set the final mood sad or happy. Surely, there's another something coming up...
I liked the flashbacks.
Wendy's casting was perfect! A 30-something meth head prostitute played by a 60-year old triathlete. Fucking great casting.
-
Jailhouse Lawyer?
-
Jailhouse Lawyer?
I thought of that when I saw him in the prison kitchen, I thought that was a natural progression to show him helping wrongly convicted people get out or something. You know, real redemption.
Maybe a juxtaposition, Kim turns into the sleaze ball and he's the one with the golden heart who's helping from the inside. Just something more than where we were left at.

After Life
I heard Ricky Gervais joke about his 'show about a suicidal man... Spoiler alert, it was renewed for a second season.' I think it was during his alcohol-drinking Oscars host job where he told them to shut up about politics.
I finally saw the third and final season. Highly recommended, especially if you're facing mortality either directly or vicariously through your friends.

Bateman is right. You killed all that in very timely fashion.
Have you ever watched Ray Donovan? @sean92008 If you have another ride in mind, I strongly recommend you dive into that one. I watched it in 2020 during covid and holy moly it was great. Like BB it also ends with a full-length movie.

Funny, I hadn't watched Netflix in what seems like ages. If family didn't insist on keeping it, I wouldn't have seen any of it.
Speaking of which, my kids are still watching from different cities and we've received no warnings that we are being cut off... As soon as that happens, we are pulling the plug on it.

Hadn't considered it. It might be more contemporary than Sopranos, right?
Whenever I hear "Ray Donovan," I think of the old football player that was on Letterman a lot, Art Donovan.

Far more contemporary than the Sopranos. I watched it because I had just finished breaking bad for the first time and wasn't ready to stop binging. I took a chance, and three episodes in I was hooked. Some say that it should have ended with the fourth season. There are reasons for this thinking..
-
The first season of Ray Donovan is available for free on Roku. Everything else after that is subscription...
Humm. Sopranos search next.
That too, all subscription...

Ray Donovan...
I'm taking this with a grain of Star Trek: The Next Generation. So far, three episodes in (you mentioned it started to work for you after three episodes, right @KSM?) where the character development was clumsy.
So far, Elliott Gould is showing himself to be a bad actor. Poor script writing aside, he's stiff. Community theater stiff.
I saw the first episode on Amazon prime, now I have to go over to Roku Channel with bad commercials.
I just thought of this analogy...
It's like a band of young kids playing the blues and they never heard Sonny Boy Williamson or John Lee Hooker or BB King. Kind of an empty vibe.
Something else, the prop master made a lot of errors. License plates were out of sequence; much older plates on much newer cars. Plus, on post production, impossible definition on a zoomed in photo, etc...

I knew a guy that appeared on Lost. His family had money (they owned a Toyota dealership near Los Angeles), so he could afford to go to Hawaii with remedial acting skills at best. They hired a lot of locals! Kind of like Breaking Bad😁
I didn't see Lost, but I did see the same production team's ABC series called Once Upon a Time... I watched it with my kids and it was bearable for the first few seasons, then it got absurd. A mother of one of my kids' friends said that it was going south like Lost went... Enough said.

I try! What's worse, I was going on to episode 4 and my free trial that I just started is not working. Same device, I was using my smart tv, it may just be a cookie issue.
I did watch a couple of episodes of something I've seen before, Ricky Gervais and his show "Derek." Gervais seems like a really loyal dude or maybe he's just extremely paranoid and doesn't trust outsiders. He uses a lot of the same people between different shows.

Not a whole lot of white actors in it but I don't think there are any black or hispanic actors in it at all. You might get a kick out of the incompetence of the contractor character if nothing else.

As for license plates, it kills me to see movies in which cars are supposed to be licensed in a state that only has rear tags, such as Florida, but it has both front and rear mock ups.

If they are filming in Vancouver or California, maybe they cover up the plates to which the cars are really registered... You know, easier than taking the plates all the way off.

Ray Donovan is not dead it's just the balance of the first season is behind a free trial wall.
I am slowly watching Christina Applegate's last series, Dead to Me. It, just like Santa Clarita Diet has a certain amount of curiosity with a former star kind of making a comeback. Nothing groundbreaking just eating time up.

Guidance needed:
For someone not yet familiar with Breaking Bad & Better Call Saul... Is it OK to recommend watching the prequel first?
I did enjoy discovering origins, but the character development seemed strong on its own.

Some may disagree with me but I wish that choice was available back when I watched. Just not how it worked out.
For me, BCS is ruined because I watched BB first. So I say YES it is OK to direct a person in such a manner. Prequel fist! @sean92008

Is it better @sean92008 ? I of course, watched Breaking Bad first. Because Better Call Saul wasn't even available. So I had no choice. But the thing about having seen BB was the future. You know what's going to happen to Jimmy so it layers a darkness over BCS as Jimmy literally fights against his own inevitability. Seeing BCS first is probably fine but it might lose some of its pathos
Thanks for asking for my opinion. I'm never without one

Yeah, I struggle with that whole discovery thing. It's nice to see those things that you go "ah, yeah..." Especially for the Salamanca storyline.
I don't watch many prequels, but I think they did a great job on BCS. The only time I really felt amiss was Hank. Hank had aged so much.

In the last episode they had to keep Jesse under the hoodie and in the dark.
I’m glad they never told us exactly what Gretchen did to Walt.

Thumbs down on Ray Donovan. Can't get completely into it. I like the premise and I'll probably look at it later.
Weird discovery... Pecan TV on the Mansa app/Roku TV.
I did not download it, but it was on my set suddenly. Pecan TV appears to take movies and filter them to look animated. Very disturbing but probably getting around some sort of a copyright thing...
The picture is from the Jackie Robinson Story.

I mildly like Three Stooges and Laurel and Hardy stuff. Some are great, some aren't, and if I watch too much it gets boring because a lot of the gags are repetitive. A week or a month apart doesn't seem so bad like in the old days.
Something I have discovered in the last few months is a series of Hal Roach Studios shorts by Thelma Todd and ZaSu Pitts. Thelma Todd is best known for her suicide under strange circumstances. She was not only a successful actress, and successful in business, she was dating some mob guy. Ageless beauty too.

Paramount Plus has a series called Fatal Attraction that is based on the movie of course.
I gave it a shot, made it 5 episodes in and it just doesn't grab like it should. The chick who is playing Glenn Close's character just doesn't cut it. There are other problems, she's just one of them. And the new thing that series are doing by bouncing from past to present in every episode is fucking annoying. Who suddenly thought this is a good idea? @TigerLily I gave Yellowjackets a shot but that too bounces around from past to present. Hate it. Doesn't need to be that way.
And if you want to argue about it we will.

You just want to argue because you think it will end up in wrestling. Yellowjackets jumps back and forth between two decades but it is good despite that. I had to watch the whole first season over again and there are very few shows I would be willing to do that with. But it is well written, mysterious, spooky and great acting even if the two decade old actors don't often look like themselves. It's good to watch it with someone so you can go, "Wait. What just happened?"

Sexy sassy Hot Toddy. I know her from her Marx Brothers movies and other comedies. She was connected (so to speak) with gangster Lucky Luciano and died a mysterious death. I bet @Rikki Gins would know the scoop (which I missed points on) about Thelma Todd

@TigerLily, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm sorely lacking when it comes to actresses from the 1930s. Except for one, Fay Wray, and I don't know anything about her except that she's in two of my favorite 1930s classic movies, Doctor X and The Mystery of the Wax Museum. I found her to be highly attractive and I would have fallen in love with her, had I been alive back in those days.

FreeVee has the greatest TV show there ever was, is or ever will be available: The original Hawaii Five-O.
I'm going in! Starting with the pilot Cocoon:
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
In the pilot, some stiff plays the Dan Williams character as Jim MacArthur was not yet cast. Unbelievably the stiff has a scene where he is smoking in Mcgarrett's office! Something that would be totally unimaginable as the series goes on.
James Gregory, Andrew Duggan, Leslie Nielsen and Nancy Kwan guest star with McGarrett even going out on a dinner date with Kwan's character! Again something that would rarely happen later in the series. The Chin Ho Kelly character is kind of a goofball in the pilot -
he enters McGarrett's office with "Chin Ho Kelly strikes again!" a couple of times. Kono Kalakaua takes a huge bite off a sandwich while reporting to McGarrett. So the main characters really haven't settled into their roles yet.
It is a two parter and over all a solid start to the series. Wo Fat the Chinese commie is taking down U.S. intelligence agents and McGarrett has got to stop him while battling both the US intelligence community and the Chinese.
The intro to the pilot differs from the one shown through out the rest of Season 1. No zooming in on McGarrett as he stands atop of the Illikai but the viewer does get to see the hulu dancers face at the 36 second mark - for the only time in the series. All the other intro's
just show her hips:
By the way the hula dancer was Helen Kuoha-Torco. She has said that it took 14 hours of filming to get that scene right and she thought her hips were going to fall off. A hard way to make $150! She ended up obtaining a Phd and became a professor in Business Technology.

They obviously didn't think much beyond the first season because the last one was a farrago of balls. It's a classic honeytrap for the mentally-less-able (no offence) who get taken in by all these teases that try to fool the poor dears that there's actually an overarching story. In fact they just pump this stuff out without any idea of how to end it and then hurriedly try to tie up all the loose ends when the cocaine runs out in the writers room. If that business with the condom didn't alert you to the fact this show is just mind-bendingly stupid then I don't know what to tell you.

Until I saw a news article with a building wrapped with a Yellowjackets promotional image in an article discussing San Diego's famed Comic-Con, I didn't know it was a show. For some reason I think about some new car when I hear the name.
Having not even known of its existence as a show until this last few days, @Peter Wyngarde's review of it is perfect... Those very same words could be used in any review of pretty much every show on every streaming service in current day media.

You are very odd. But in a somewhat interesting way. I don't think I would ever take your show recommendations seriously, though

FreeVee has the greatest TV show there ever was, is or ever will be available: The original Hawaii Five-O...
Also one of favorites, and one of the few that isn't so badly dated as to be unwatchable - just the opposite!
Do you know why these networks rerun nearly all the shows for the early and middle years, but skip so many of the last few years?
... The intro to the pilot differs from the one shown through out the rest of Season 1. No zooming in on McGarrett as he stands atop of the Illikai but the viewer does get to see the hulu dancers face at the 36 second mark - for the only time in the series. All the other intro's
just show her hips:
The kid in the intro was just riding his bike by that day, and got $5 for his part.

Television's not for watching anyway, it's for being on.

My favorite streaming show of the last couple of years is WandaVision on Disney Plus, I am not even a big Marvel follower, but I am a fan of classic TV and the concept of her going decade by decade going into different TV sitcom eras was a lot of fun, especially the first half of the series where they didn't have much "Cap stuff". Not sure if I had a chance to mention it yet but I liked it a lot and it's only one season.
-
Has anyone been watching 'Only Murders in the Building'? I just finished the first season and I'm not sure whether the second season is worth bothering with or not. The murderer was ridiculously obvious as soon as they showed up, and there was a pointless sub-plot that was only there to flesh out the narrative. It was good to see Steve Martin and Martin Short but the whole thing felt a bit half-arsed to me. And what the hell's going on with Selena Gomez's voice is baffling, she sounds like a 60 year old woman.

When I saw it, I felt that the writers tried to do something interesting for the first few episodes, and then they got a knock on the door from the Marvel execs who told them they had to dumb it down and make it like all the other stuff they do.

Don't have Hulu. Too many of these damn services out there. Still haven't seen their Catch-22 rendition. :'(

I tried. I don't know if I made it through two complete episodes or maybe a third. Very flat. The writing was very "autopilot" with typical characters in New York filler. As for Selena Gomez's voice, she probably got AIDS, hepatitis or something from her ex-boyfriend, that Justin Bieber punk.

Neither do I, I just got a torrent off Pirate Bay. If you never see it I can't say that you will be missing out on anything amazing. I'd forgotten all about that Catch-22 thing. It wasn't that well-received so I didn't bother getting round to it.

Yes, I agree with you about the 'autopilot'. I found myself watching to the end of the season because the episodes were only half an hour, if they were an hour long I would probably have stopped watching some time before then.
There was another show I watched early this year called 'Severance' and although I watched the whole season I still couldn't decide whether I liked it or not. You feel intrigued and keep on watching, even though deep down you feel that the writers don't have a clue what they are doing, and although it seems like it is heading in an interesting direction, it probably isn't.

Severance is one that tempts me but my fears are exactly what you seem to be suspicious of. Might be a long way to go to get not very far at all..
WAN, HULU and all those streaming sites are crap. Shiny turds.

It's a nice idea (a person has had an operation so that he has no memory of what he does at work) but after shows like Lost and Game of Thrones I think we are all a bit wary of things that look too good to be true. There was one part where two people are wandering around a corridor and open a door where there is a man surrounded by baby goats and he says 'they're not ready yet!'. To me that's just an obvious attempt to intrigue people but there is probably no real pay off.

On November 30, 2022, Paramount+ renewed the Tulsa King series for a second season.[19] In February 2023, Winter was announced to have stepped down as showrunner, due to creative differences, with search underway for a new showrunner.[20] At this time it was also reported that the second season would not film in Oklahoma due to financial costs and complaints from the cast and crew who did not like the extreme Oklahoma temperatures.[21] (Wiki)
Tulsa IS extreme in the temperature Dept. !! :D
I don't have P+, but I did enjoy watching this Movies Outpost recap on YouTube !!!

Purchased a few seasons of THE OFFICE (US)
I can't get into it. Heard all these great things, but Steve Carrel is just nauseating IMO. Overacting. Cannot a fucking director realize that the content is strong enough without things going into animated and unrealistic character mode? It tries too hard.
That said, I'm only two episodes into season 1. Not sure I'll see episode..............4. Tell me that there is some character refinement as the seasons roll on.

I agree that his character had no redeeming qualities. To be honest, there were more dogs in the first 2 years or 3 years. Maybe do one of us Google searches and find out the best episodes from the seasons you have and just pick through them.
Something to keep in mind, characters like Creed developed without a plan. He was an extra who decided to talk one day, at least that's the story they said.

Isn't the idea of the show built around David Brent / Michael Scott doing exactly what you are complaining about?

Although they stopped making it about a decade ago. I just started watching Community a few months ago. Surprisingly (for a show written by and for Americans) it's actually very clever and amusing. They put so many Easter eggs in it that you have to watch each episode several times before you work out what's happening.
I find The Office US much funnier when I watch the clips on YT. I don't particularly enjoy watching whole episodes. Creed Bratton is hilarious.

Roku also has Leave it to Beaver - good stuff. You can watch Wally get smitten with the "wrong" kind of girl.

I haven't had a TV for decades, I watch everything on a torrent or a streaming service. I don't even know if they showed it over here on a terrestrial channel. I know what you mean, with Chang blacking up. They probably show it.

Does anyone watch Rick and Morty? I watched the first season and it was OK, but they are still making them and I wondered if it gets any better over the next five seasons.

I used a "best episodes" list. On this side of the pond, quantity over quality... Just look at Ford, Chevrolet and General Motors...
Eh, maybe not a good choice... Jagwire and Land Rover suck in low quantities.
How about Budweiser v. Guinness?

I don't know why anyone drinks Budweiser. Guinness is fine if you get the export stuff in the small bottles, otherwise it's too watery.

Budweiser, the self-proclaimed "King Of Beers" ::)
I have always said that Guinness is the true King. No doubt about it.
You mention the bottles, I prefer the tall black can with the 'floating widget' that is featured in the Guinness documentary. I did not find the bottled stuff to be as authentic to the stuff you get on tap at the pub. The can with the widget was identical the pub experience. This was in Canada.
Down here I find the canned stuff to be as you say, watery. I don't know why that would be, but I will try the bottles down here. Perhaps the good stuff is in the bottle when enjoyed in America.
Love me some black gold.

Agreed. Massive improvement.
I was introduced to the cartridge in Watneys Red Barrel. I later found a cartridge-free can (it was piss mixed with shit). Uh, it's been 30+ years since I had a WRB...

This is the one I'm talking about:
https://hogsback.co.uk/products/copy-of-augustiner-edelstoff-1
It's a much more intense flavour, much better than the stuff you get usually. And it's 8%. The bottles are quite small, that's the only thing against them.

Vince Gilligan announced he is about to begin writing his new series. He didn't say anything about it other than it will be set in Albuquerque and will star Rhea Seahorn.

I haven't seen it over here for a while either so maybe it's been discontinued. Guinness brought out a beer a few years ago, but it must not have been very popular because I haven't seen it sold for a couple of years.

Kim Wexler (Saul Goodman's wife). She was straightlaced with a willingness to cross the line for sport. She got dragged in to Saul's antics.

It's not what I remember, because it definitely had Guinness on the label, but maybe it's the same thing but marketed in a different way over there. It wasn't around very long and I didn't get a chance to try it.

I really liked it. Full-bodied blonde type. Very little marketing, if you didn't wander into a pub that carried it, you might never know it existed. Alas..

Back to TV.
I've tried. I've searched and been patient, but to no avail.
All I have to look forward to with binging on series are the ones I already have in my library.

I like them both equally. The final episode of Newhart where he wakes up in his bed in Chicago with Suzanne is classic. I have the original series as well, so there's no reason not to dive into it next. Good call, WAN. (Big Brother) ::) :P

I've been watching Slow Horses. I generally find these sorts of 'hot' shows a big disappointment, as anyone who was watched The Shite Lotus (just mainstream gay porn basically) will know. I also find Gary Oldman a bit overrated. Do his American accents sound convincing? They don't to me. Anyway, he plays a drunk, smelly old man - so I was naturally interested, having some knowledge in this area. It's all very well made and has a bit of a Bourne vibe to it, but I'm three episodes in and still not sure if I like it or not.

Amazon has started a second season of Reacher. Not bad but certainly not great. At least the lead guy looks like Reacher, not a puny midget like Tom Cruise.

I'm guessing most of you saw this when it first aired, but thanks to the internet even sexy TikTok influencers like myself can catch up with Jack Benny and Mel Blanc.

Ian Punnett recommended this on air once upon a time. Heeding his advice, I've enjoyed it all and look forward to the 4th season. But then again, the Shite Lotus was still a hoot, for me at least.

3 is the marker for me. Got to be hooked by the end of episode three, or I'm out.
You are almost, passively, inferring that you are a "drunk, smelly old man" is that the case? @Peter Wyngarde It's ok if it is. Just asking. That's what I want to be when I grow up.

Both are quality. Coach was pretty darn good when he was coaching College and kinda fell when he went Pro and 80s Newhart was fun as well
I got a bit of a dilemma, I don't like rejecting gifts but somebody gifted me a Box Set of one of my favorite series BUT that series is in full on one of my regular streaming services. So I am not sure if I should tell them, I have been kinda getting out of DVD's because streaming is such a better option without the clutter of the boxes. They said they did keep the recipt if needed

If music plays any role in the show you may want to keep the box set, many shows have to replace the music originally in an episode because streaming did not exist so was not part of the deal.

@Zetaspeak Yeah you're in a bit of a pickle with a physical box-set. Can you put it in a closet, in the back, way in the back? I don't know how sensitive the gifter is. If it helps, I have the complete box sets of;
ER
CSI (original)
Mad Men
Friday Night Lights
Newhart
Mom
Corner Gas
The Hills
Seinfeld
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Survivor
Quincy ME
Breaking Bad
Ray Donavan
Boston Legal
Cheers

And about 9 others that I am forgetting without going to look.
These are full mint condition box sets stacked nicely in a large huge (wardrobe) box in my walk-in closet. I see the fucker every day.

REAL SMART ADVICE everyone, the streaming service the very next month removed it from their library of shows.
Concluded Ted Lasso Season 1 and that turned out very good and I definitely understand the hype & lived up to it and Hannah Waddingham might be my favorite woman in entertainment and that's a whole lot of woman, so much so that I gathered everyone around to watch her apple tv Christmas special

Anyone got Apple TV? I've just got a three months free subscription but I can't think of anything to watch. I've seen Slow Horses and Severance but is there anything else worth looking at? There's something called 'Masters of Air' but I don't know anything about it.

If I had Apple TV, I'd definitely check out the movie "Greyhound". Destroyers on convoy duty in the North Atlantic - my Old Man spent most of his war doing exactly that. Tom Hanks is the DD skipper - probably way too old for the role but what the heck.
Masters is another series about the war. In the vein of Band of Brothers and The Pacific but the subject is the US 8th Air Force based in the U.K. I've not seen it but have heard mixed things about it.
I think Apple also has the Catch 22 mini-series - again haven't seen it but the casting looks odd. Plus like all these film adaptations seem to do, they drop Chief Halfoat. Which sucks. He's one of my faves.

Oh, yes, I remember seeing that on the site. I'll definitely have a look at that, thanks. When I saw what they were planning to do to Catch-22 I lost interest. The odds were highly against them making anything good anyway, but taking out some of the characters isn't going to help much. I suppose it was for political reasons they elbowed him. Because he's Red.

He's Red but he's awesome. Turns Flume from an extrovert into an introvert and eventually drives him into the woods.

I always liked Major De - Coverley, whose only duties were pitching horseshoes, kidnapping Italian labourers and renting apartments for the soldiers on leave.

I always think that book has one of the best endings ever. Bringing back a character you'd kind of forgotten about just to end it with a bang. 'Jump!'.

IF you are into Classic Coast you might be interested in something called "Calls" I watched/listened to the first two episodes it seems like it's a portrayal of phone calls between people during a supernatural event. It's only voice of "private conversations" with sound wave graphics on screen, the episodes are about 15 minutes long.
he first episode was some sort of mix of the rapture event and shapeshifters, the second episode is about a guy having missing time as he's going for a drive and he thinks it's the same day but when calling his family/friends they think he abandoned them for years. It can be cheesy at times but being such short episodes that it's not much of an investment to test out if it grabs your interest

Hey! The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes [1984-85] is available on the Roku Channel. Jeremy Brett and David Burke are the best Holmes/Watson duo I think. The episodes follow the stories closely and my gosh the details that went into this production. Look at the intro - even gobs of horse scat in the streets.

Been trying to watch The Rings of Power which is supposed to be based on Tolkein's The Silmarillion. I keep laughing though as every time I see the actor the cast as Elrond Half-Elven, mighty Lord of the elves all I can see is Eddie Haskell.

Watching This Old House on Roku this morning... Before the producer, Russell Morash, died, he sold the rights to the show over to Roku.
First thing I see is a tile guy not putting mortar down properly on a fancy tile mosaic installation...
The tile guys were a family business and the main guy was originally Joe Ferrante. I saw the last episode that he died later that day. Before learning of his death on the show, I had thought to myself he sucked. At the end of the episode, I thought that he was just having a bad day before dying.
I was wrong.
This guy sucked all the time apparently. He just wasn't doing a good job and I bet the installation failed within a couple of years.

I'm a pretty big fan of the old cop shows. Hawaii Five-O is my all time fave but shows like Dragnet, Columbo, Streets of San Francisco, etc are fun to watch as well. I've never watched Ironside before and just came across it and thought I would give it a watch. Man, Ironside is such a grouchy dick. LoL! Hard to believe that his minions haven't pushed his wheelchair down Lombard Street.

I like a really old cop show, Gunsmoke. I've been watching it on Pluto TV on demand.
I have googled many of the guests who have made appearances on the show, so far, I have found two who have been buried a few miles north of me.
I watched Adam 12 and Dragnet a ton, in the last decade. I loved how many of those businesses and apartment buildings were still in existence a decade ago.
-
Peter Gunn, still worth watching. The series represents for me an interesting transition from post WWII film noir to the more stylish Bond era.

I would like to add that whoever has restored the gunsmoke library has done one hell of a job. Watching it in 4k has been a pleasure.

M Squad, another good one with often interesting casting in retrospect.

Gunsmoke. I've always sworn that the half hour episodes were always the best. Minus two episodes, one because the streaming service got them messed up and the other I fell asleep during, I've watched the first five seasons. I'm starting season 6 this morning.
Streaming on Pluto TV, the picture quality. It's great. Sometimes it's a little grainy, but it's film being upscaled to 2K or 4K. The graininess is more noticeable in the studio shots, the outdoor ones are fine.
Although there's a few commercials featured in two different breaks, I find that the Pluto on demand is actually a better quality than watching it on one of their channels.
-
...I made it to the beginning of Gunsmoke's episode 15 of season 7. The one-hour episodes just drag and the repetition gets harder to get through...

I'm probably posting this in the wrong place because this is not a television show, but I've been binge watching
this guy's videos on YouTube. I wanted to share this one because I found it to be excellent. It presented to me some things
I didn't already know and I didn't think even one minute of this was boring.
At one point he shows a clip of a woman in her own
apartment having to feed quarters into a machine the landlord hooked up to her washing machine...
but this is not in the apartment complex's laundry room, this is actually inside her own apartment unit.
So right inside her own unit, she has to put in some quarters just to be able to do a load of laundry.
Also if I understood right, somebody was saying that those fancy heated seats that come in some vehicles are not something
you just pay for once and then you can use "forever" anymore...now companies are actually making you pay an ongoing
subscription rate / fee for the heating feature in the seats. Again, if I heard correctly, that is.
Then also he said something about buy now, pay later entities like Pay In Four and Klarna teaming up with Doordash or some such,
to allow people to buy food on credit because that's how very costly food has gotten.
He touches on and shows clips and comments on the subject of how maddeningly high and ridiculous prices have gotten on all sorts of different things,
which we all already know about, but he shows things you may not already be aware of. I highly
recommend watching this video. And you may want to check out the enormous gouge going on in Connecticut where apparently they are making
people pay for the electricity bills of other people...I think somebody in comments said that's a lie, they say on the bill you're paying
for the electricity bills of poorer people or something, but the money's really going into the bank accounts of the high-ups in the company.

Reminds me of pay toilets back in the day. One day for want of a dime, I wound up making a solid deposit in the sink of a bar's men's room. The worst part was wiping with the paper towels.

Well I guess they should have known better than to make it a pay toilet.
If they wanted to keep homeless people from slamming in there, they could have instead made it token accessible.
Many years ago a friend of mine said at the university in which he was living and attending, he'd go into the restroom
and see that somebody had pooped in the shower and the maids / housekeepers would leave notes saying they don't want to clean it up.

I have the complete 1st season of House Of Guinness.
I had no idea that it was in existence but it is brilliantly done as it focuses in on the Guinness heirs after the death of their father.
I have purchased a 24 pack of black gold to consume for the day that I binge on all 10 episodes. Life is good. Life is tasty.

Am I the only Ell'Gabba' watching LANDMAN? Into season 2 now and it's a very well done production. Great actors, great story, not much if anything to complain about. If you liked Tellowstone you'll be right on board with LANDMAN. Same crew, same production, same quality, and maybe the same creator.

YW @Smokin Hot Bob I do find the one drawback if there is one to be the mother n' daughter hijinx. The show could carry itself without all their silliness, but it's hardly a deal breaker for me.

ZOINKS!

They are the same person. There is a paranormal aspect that you seem to have missed. You have to suspend disbelief until episode 7 of season 1.

@Smokin Hot Bob Have you noticed that season 2 of Landman is a tad lacking compared to season1?
Agreed, not a total cringefest, but if they continue with too much comic relief the show will lose its edge. So the second season wraps up this weekend, next season starts shooting in the spring. The Tommy Norris character is up in the air though and if they lose Billy Bob Thornton there won't be any point. I thought Jon Hamm left the scene too early. Not even a flashback.
Meanwhile, back to The Pitt, my latest binge.

Originally it was only meant to be one season from what I read many months ago so it almost seems like S2 was written on the fly, so-to-speak. Episodes 4-8 have been on the slide downwards. 9 wasn't too bad so we shall see.
The Pitt. I've heard of it. Hmm. I allow myself one show at a time so with Landman being done until S3 begins I'll look into this.. Pitt. Sounds scary so I'm hoping for a horror/Thriller sort of ride...

Nope. Just the brutal fast paced reality of an overloaded emergency department in real time. There is no dumbing down of the technical terminology. Not for the squeamish if you faint at the sight of blood or medical procedures. Still plenty of emotional interaction between characters. Every episode just seems to whip by.

Ahh. OK so like ER but with a spin. THE PITT means Pittsburgh I assume.
Worth checking out. thanks.

@Smokin Hot Bob Did you like the way they ended season 2? I was good with it even though there were several other directions they could have went in, almost all of them much darker paths but they went with the "today we win" setting the table for S3 with cautious optimism.

A satisfying wrap for several problematic plotlines. Season cliffhangers can be over the top irritating. We are still left with the feeling things can go south very fast. Garcia the mob boss tycoon made a menacing remark that might foreshadow the dread to come.

I’m two episodes in and it’s really good! The main actors are adorable and they have this kinda fun, hot awkward thing going on between them. There’s a big undercurrent of family drama and expectations and disfunction. It’s a lot more well rounded than i expected. So far, I like!

Okay, I’m not sure how I feel about this one. It was a bit of a weak start. There’s a lot of important characters introduced in the first two episodes. It’s been forever since I read A Song of Fire and Ice series or watched GOT. I have slight memories of Egg being the brother to the Maester on the Wall and Dunk being related to Breann of Tarth. And there’s definitely stories/myths about Duncan the Tall but I can’t remember. I LOVE meeting Lionel Beratheon - his character is literally perfect!
And that old knight, Pennytree, was swinging a pretty serious hose!! ;D
I can’t believe I can’t binge these all at once. WTH! I demand instant gratification!

Not everyone is storied in the history of Westeros, nor do they have to be. The pacing and development of characters is just right for me.
