Today I've been watching the 1982 Canadian documentary series, War. Historian Gwynne Dyer takes an almost James Burke/Connections-type overview of various aspects of human conflict and their impact on modern society. Very interesting.
PBS - Austin City Limits 7th Annual Hall Of Fame Honors !!! Happened to come across it about 2 minutes before it began... Inductees: Lucinda Williams, Alejandro Escovedo, Wilco. Special guests/ performances, including duets: Rosanne Cash, Jason Isbell, Margo Price, Japanese Breakfast What a fantastic, phenominal show!!! * Margo & Lucinda "Changed The Locks" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPmnrivfJWk - Wilco & guest-stars on stage for finale of "California Stars". - I never knew Sheila E. was Alejandro Escovedo's niece! * Spoiler Jason Isbell inducted Lucinda. I knew something was not quite right w/Lucinda; she sounded good, but I could see that Rosanne was sort of encouraging & supporting through her body languange when they did a duet (apparently she'd suffered a stroke ). I'd caught a livestream & interview w/Cheryl Waters/ KEXP in '20, don't recall exact month, maybe around Sept., so it occurred sometime after that.
Succession. Just binged all three seasons. I thought the first season was great (I think Jesse Armstrong only contributed to the writing on the first season?). I was a bit bored by the end of season three. Maybe I watched it all too close together, but it's starting to seem formulaic to me - people at parties or in aeroplanes and helicopters telling each other to **** off spreads pretty thin. Plus, every character in it is revolting! I'm looking forward to the next season but hope they round it all up and then put a bullet through it
Thanks for sharing this. I was a bit curious about this show, as my girlfriend and I just finished binging a show and now need to find a new one. Based on what you shared, I think I should look elsewhere.
Frontline PBS TV episode, "The Warning", from 2009. An episode about a canary in the coalmine moment that went unheeded. About a brilliant woman named Brooksley Born that understood before anyone else, what was going to happen in 2007/2008, 10 years before it happened. FRONTLINE | The Warning | Season 2009 | Episode 14
Emergency! (have all-in-one DVD of this 1972-77 NBC action series; started on second go, and enjoying it so far)
I remember watching that as a boy....with the "Gauge" character. Always loved the opening when we see the doors open for the fire trucks to roll... Unless I'm thinking of something else?
I think the opening was far different than what you said-- just a shot of an ambulance approaching, as I understand it.
I decided to give the Sex & the City reboot a chance. Ugh. And Just Like That... is bad. The "wokeness" is suffocating and I didn't think the Carrie character could get any more selfish and, there she is. Good on Kim Cattrall skipping this pile of shiznit.
Hmmmm...I'll have to look it up now..... I think I was referring to one of the seasons, which opened with: Emergency! Season 4-6 Intro with Season 1-3 Theme - YouTube
Probably Gilmore Girls, i find it soothing and the banter is great. Plus Grant Lee Phillips is awesome but new to me last show i saw was Cobra Kai season 4
The Twilight Zone - Mr. Denton On Doomsday, starring Dan Duryea. With Martin Landau. One of my top ten favorite episodes of the show. Magnificent. A great episode of The Twilight Zone is like a great movie - or certainly as good as one. Spoiler What I love so much about The Twilight Zone at its best, was how Serling was for the underdog, always; he was for SECOND CHANCES. I sure wish things could be as great as the things Rod Serling's mind could dream up for who need the help...... I wish.
L.A. To Vegas Comedy Dylan McDermott, Peter Stormare, Olivia McCacklin, Ed Weeks & rest of ensemble cast... Episodes 3-4. Jackpot Airlines is a budget carrier whose junket flight from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and back is filled with dreamers hoping to finally make that big score. Very funny! Ran on FOX 2018; watched it @ that time, too. Colin: "In Britain we try to die quietly in a corner without bothering anyone."
I just started watching "Young Wallender" on Netflix. After having watched the first couple episodes, I think I like it.
