Has anyone started watching The Audacity on AMC? I saw the first ep this past week and ep 2 dropped last night.

I’ll put it this way: I’ll give it one more episode to show me why I should care even a little about any of those characters.

such an awesome show. We started watching a few months ago.  We haven't binged it.  We save it for when we have nothing heavier or longer to watch.  It always leaves you with an uplifting feeling when you finish watching.

A stand alone episode of The Bear was released. It takes place “before” the show and follows Richie and Mike on a work related trip to Gary, Indiana

Just watched it.

Wow. 
 

I think I may have experienced every emotion I own during that hour.

Given that I already had Apple TV up and had stopped watching the game at Comerica against the Blue Jays, I was re-watching E-7 of Plur1bus, and noticed at the end of the credits - past which I always fast forward - that they were playing a Muzak elevator music version of the 5th Dimension’s 1969 hit Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In. It was the first thing today that truly made me laugh. You’re welcome…

Today is the 40 year anniversary of the Dallas episode where Bobby Ewing “came back” from the dead by appearing in the shower to close out the season. (He died the previous season in their cliff hanger. It all ended up being a dream).  Patrick Duffy’s in town at comic con and someone shared these photos where he’s having fun with it

Californacation was like that for me.  I watched the first 2 episodes and absolutely hated every single character.   I know the point was to not like them, that they were sex-obsessed creeps, but you have to have SOMETHING in a character to latch onto.

Sounds like they didn't even have a chance to give him a meaningful death at the end of season 2.  He'll end up being killed off screen between seasons or something.

The end of Colbert’s show was great. Goose bump inducing 
 

then this last night.  He did joke about it during his last monologue.

Jack White is a very dry wit.  I think Eminem's bolt on appearance was meh.  Jeff Daniels was pretty good.  Shout out to the two ladies whose show that is normally.  They were good.  The lady who was serving as his assistant at the show is a cutie.  She captured Michigan-chick-stressed-out-by-situation very well.   If we are going to have Jeff Daniels, Eminem and Jack White as the go to celebrities, Jack is my favorite.

Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson were absent unfortunately.

Just discovered the 2006 BBC-1 TV series LIFE ON MARS where a Manchester, England police detective in 2006 wakes up after a car accident to discover that he has time-travelled to 1973, where he works the same job in the same location but he is no longer the Detective Chief Inspector but second in command. It won a lot of awards in Britain in its two-year run of sixteen 51-minute episodes.

He now has all the experience and insight of a detective 33 years in the future that he can bring the bear on cases in 1973 and he splits his time between being in a coma in 2006 and being absolutely present in 1973. It’s so good. I don’t want to binge it.

It’s available on Prime without having to subscribe to one of those cringe, phony “special movie channels” Prime keeps producing faster than rabbits in a pet store.

I love all the accents, and between two visits I spent totaling about 10 days in Manchester many years ago, it reminds me of when I was young.IMG_5813.thumb.jpeg.b19fab9e23b04726022757eefaa4de7e.jpeg

It’s really fascinating. And it is gritty as all heck without being facile. And yeah, there’s some predictable character drama going on because it’s TV. What are you gonna do, eh? But I’m just digging it early on especially the really cute 1973 “birds.” The show punches all the tickets.

I saw that there US version. I really like the gritty nature of Manchester in the 1970s.

My son and I started the first episode.  He's not a very charismatic lead but the premise is enough for me.  I'm gonna keep watching.

If you mean Season 1...its the best stuff those two have ever done.

yeah season 1.  It's been on my radar since the beginning.    My wife and I have different tastes in shows and movies.  It's hard to get her over the hump into "serious" stuff.    But she also loves Mathew.
