Magical Urine: Television in 2023

[metirish]

I watched Air ( Nike , Jordan) on Prime over the weekend, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, it was ok , certainly interesting to see now the sneaker industry was back then

Hey, that's film review forum content!

After watching NCIS Los Angeles for 14 years (don't judge), I watched the first part of their two part series finale Sunday night. It showed that they're trying to tie up all the story line loose ends. The editing was choppy, and the script didn't flow.
I chalk it up to the show being canceled late in the filming for this season and they had to scramble to put the closing together. A sad ending to one of my favorite shows. I had hoped for better.

Does anybody here ever watch TVLand? I have a question

Sometimes. What's the question?

Well I was going to ask the younger set if all the ads are for older people and how they knew!
Unless
it’s just a case of that’s who they figure would be watching Gunsmoke and Andy Griffith etc

Some cable stations are running Murder She Wrote for the same target audience.

Season 2 of Yellowjackets was a mess ,and the season finale was absolutely awful , so disappointing

Tom selleck and jimmy walker hawking reverse mortgages…I just wondered if it was just for me or all audiences

I told my mom don’t you dare…

Ironically, in Good Times, one of the banes cursing J.J.'s family, according to the theme song, was "easy credit ripoffs."

[whippoorwill]

Back then I got more of an idea of six months no interest, then watch out. ( not that I knew at my age; I just figured these poor saps couldn’t get a break)

And wasn’t Thelma the prettiest thing?

Yeah...this is show is more ambitious than it can pull off.

The series finale of Succession was pretty much perfect, though.

[metirish]

I was just a tad disappointed with the Succession finale , but overall a great show and I'll miss it.

An interesting baseball theory about Succession and Tom's name

We’ve been watching a bunch of British gardening shows since early spring; Monty Don is a favorite

[Frayed Knot]

I wanted to be more of a fan of SUCCESSION than I was. I didn't hate it and it was certainly well done in spots.
But it would have gone down a lot easier with me if ANYONE on the show was even remotely likable and, worse than that, some just weren't believable.
Does anyone buy Tom as a guy Shiv would give the time of day to much less marry? Or a guy someone would tap to run their multi-zillion $$ acquisition?
And is it even possible to be as clueless as brother Conner?
I also had trouble following some of the business stuff: who is this guy with again?; who's turned on who this week?, etc.
The character they needed more of was Logan's brother (James Cromwell)

[metirish]

I agree with that, even though I really liked the show 4 seasons felt enough ,and yes, could have used more of a storyline for Ewan

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

I thought the finale of Ted Lasso was wonderful.

[metirish]

This is really worth watching

I just saw this advertised yesterday; I’d like to see it

[metirish]

You can watch it from the link

[whippoorwill]

Definitely will. Thanks metirish!

We signed up for Britbox last night…can hardly wait to explore it! I heard hubby watching Mr Bean while I was doing the dishes but of course there’s so much more :)

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

My wife knows I like Ted Lasso, and recommended a show that has some of the same people involved. "Shrinking" on Apple TV was fun. I binged watched it last weekend.

[Frayed Knot]

Is it on regular TV also?
Starting when?

[metirish]

I haven't seen it on regular TV here , PBS online and maybe Prime Video
