Talk about it….

Succession
Not sure about “favorite” because the dialogue was incredibly contrived, but I keep thinking back to the movie “Tar”. We saw it a few months ago and it pops into my brain occasionally; it’s one of those movies that kind of sticks with you in an unsettling way.
1883. The prequel to Yellowstone, which we are now watching because of. Both through Netflix.
Looking forward to new episodes of Yellowstone, … Beth or Jamie, who gets whacked.
Been watching repeats of Harry Potter movies, … also love the art of outfits & stage craft.
They will probably get rid of Kevin Costner.
If they write Beth off the show everyone will quit watching.
Warning there’s some potty mouth language in the show clips.

A comedian on Netflix last night. Five year old daughter gets on a school bus for her first day of school.
The school calls her father at two thirty in the afternoon.
School — Mr Smith do you know the number of the school bus your daughter got on this morning?
Mr Smith — You have mine and my wifes cell phone numbers and you call the father? Always call the mother she knows all of those things. Don’t ever call the father.
School — We tried to call your wife sir but she didn’t answer.
Mr Smith– OK what’s the name of the school I will pick her up.

12 angry men (1997)
None of them. Whenever I actually like a program it gets cancelled. Also very tired of comic book movies.
“Slow Horses” on AppleTV+ is an excellent spy thriller starring Gary Oldman. There are three seasons so far and the 4th is starting production. Over on Paramount+ “The Offer” is an excellent drama series about the making of “The Godfather”.
Lots of good stuff finally showing up on streaming after they burnt off the mistakes they made during the pandemic. Seems they thought people would want “comfort TV” but the public wanted more of what was available before.
Season 3 of Star Trek Picard. The first two were terrible. The third, and final season, features the entire cast. I wished it had started this way than the “message” being pushed on the first two seasons.
Are we talking about recently made TV series and recently made movies?
Or are we talking about series/movies that we’ve watched recently?
Because I saw a couple of great episodes of The Big Valley the other day…….
Peter Breck, who played Nick Barkley, was in real life a fast draw with a gun.
There was a Big Valley episode where Linda Evans was thrown from a horse into a creek. I still can’t believe the scene of her emerging from the water made it onto 1960’s network television. I was just a kid, but at that point I realized The Big Valley was way better than Bonanza.
Succession and Mandalorian
Tournament of Champions on Food Network, hosted by Guy Fieri, and Spring Baking Championship. I enjoy Battlebots, but only watch that on On Demand, so I can see all the battles in about 8-10 minutes, and (not ) miss the 80 minutes of filler and fluff. The only new movie I have seen in the last maybe decade was the recent Top Gun movie, which was enjoyable, but don’t see me going to see repeated viewings like I do with Good the Bad the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West or Lock, Stock/Snatch/Layer Cake.
Norsemen and Detectorists.
Y’all can tank me later.

Forensic Files II

The movie: Inside Man (2006)
With Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster, Christopher Plummer
2 and a half men
Never watched a single episode while it was running on prime time
Some very funny lines
Not for the kids
Battlebots & NCIS (but I prefer the versions with Gibbs and Ziva in them).
Batt;elbots Rocks!! Always in a good mood while watching the “sophisticated carnage”.

I am indeed! Thanks Cyn!
The Food that Built American on the History channel. Ghosts on CBS is OK but other than that I will watch old shows. They are so much better. I don’t care for the remakes. I don’t understand how the remake of Magnum P.I. lasted as long as it has. I couldn’t watch it for more 10 minutes. The new Night Court doesn’t measure up.
Private SNAFU
Try to find the British version of Ghost on You-Tube. It is so much better than the sanitized American verson. The basement dwellers a featured more and they are more fiendsih and absolute troublemakers
I agree Magnum is horrible. A female Higgins? Uh NO! Most remakes of anything are bad except the remake of Hawaii Five-0 was decent. I guess because they didn’t mess with the two main characters it was watchable, not great, but watchable
@ Well Folks I am going to look for the British version. Thanks for the tip.
Blue Bloods and NCIS

The new Perry Mason on HBO. It actually goes back to the original short stories of the 1930’s
Movie??? Back to the early 2000’s and the movie if Freda. Bio about Freda Kahlo. The story, colors and imagery is fabulous. The movie definitley turned me into a Freda-phile
I’m enjoying Perry Mason on HBO, but then, I was a huge Earl Stanley Gardner fan as a teenager.

I like that Perry has some rough edges and at times his ethics are questionable.
The remake is good, but the original with Raymond Burr (and Barbara Hale, William Talman, William Hopper, and Ray Collins), which I am rewatching, is also pretty good. Perry had a few rough edges, even then. The original show has a nice “film noir” look.
Married with children
The Wire
The Sopranos
Miami Vice
Yellowstone and 1923
The Brady Bunch. How I loved Alice.
