    I'd forgotten that Kristen Bell
    had a small role as a teenage
    prostitute who gets to stab
    Powers Boothe and gets capped
    courtesy of poor Kim Dickens.
    Wu's pigs dined well that night.

    Our Saturday night TV watching is sorted as long as Svengoolie is on the air. Still miss the Ghoul and before that Ghoulardi. But this guy gets it.

    Big fun.

    Now that Star Trek has been removed from Netflix, it's Seinfeld currently.

    If you get the H&I (Heroes & Icons) network, they show 'Star Trek'.

    We spent a good chunk of the weekend tuned to DECADES for THE TIME TUNNEL binge. It seems silly that when one owns a set of Blu-ray discs, and two sets of DVD discs, that one would actively watch a series on a low-bitrate subchannel - but the draw of actual broadcasting is strong. To know that people all over the country could be watching the same show at the same time is somehow important and comforting. I can drag out my discs any time - but there it is - on TV right at that very moment.

    Taxi: The Complete Series.

    A hidden gem of a show, both in writing and acting.

    Still watching Star Trek original series occasionally; just watched a 1964 episode of The Virginian the other night titled "The Brazos Kid" with Skip Homeier.

    I thought this would be the best season (it's where the "back from vacation office limbo party" is) & while it's great to have that, some episodes are good, but some of the rest are hit or miss - also pretty dated, as it would be. When David & Maddie are on-screen = magic! Not on-screen = kinda snoozy. I think by this season they'd already jumped-the-shark (even though the closing the question on the "will they or won't they?" didn't occur until halfway though this season)), yet it went on for 2 more seasons. :eek::confused: TV was a lot more forgiving then. There's still about 1/2 of the episodes left, but I'm thinking I'll pass on them & just pick up the Combo Seasons 1 & 2 DVD (used, in good condition); would just get Season 2, but it's N/A for either of those singular seasons. I'd actually get the recent very similar storyline (not Castle, for whatever reason I don't really care for that) Take Two (aired 2018), but it's N/A on DVD.

    The beginning of the end for M*A*S*H...
    (J/K- There are still some decent episodes sprinkled in there till the end of the show, when you can find them between the multiple 'War is Hell' episodes. :hide:)

    There's not an episode of M*A*S*H that I don't like! Love 'em all, although the "dream" episode is weird. And I never saw a single episode until about 2 years ago. Growing up it was a boring "dad" show. Now that I have reached the status of boring dad I figured it was time to check it out and I am glad I did.

    Moonlighting, the quality of the transfers has a lot to do with the "dated" feel.

    If they were remastered in widescreen HD, that would give a new shine to this fantastic series.

    Like what happens with a lot of these series they start out great but wear out their welcome,they exhaust themselves.
    I might be in the minority but thought Andy Kaufman's character was a distraction :shrug:foreign man wears thin pretty quickly.It might have been better if he was just regular Joe ..the cab driver........man,I gotta get out more:biglaugh:

    I’m still waiting for that “Jump the Shark” moment. Hasn’t happened yet.

    watching Hercules: The Legendary Journeys on Tubi, after that, will try to remember which Six Million Dollar Man episode I stopped at (after all these years) and watch that on another streaming service. Then I guess it's on to The Bionic Woman.
