A) I don't think any show needs to be rebooted or reimagined or whatever. If Hollywood producers can't come up with fresh ideas, then they should be ashamed of themselves.B) I thought Murder She Wrote was already slated for a re-do, I hadn't realized the Octavia Spencer version had fallen through.B.1) I don't think Jessica Fletcher used a magnifying glass more than a handful of times over the show's run.

Why did the producer specifically calla to see her if he didn't think she'd "ever work in this town"? He must have seen her somewhere (on stage or TV) so why should he bother even meeting her?
-
I don't know about anyone else, but I don't care to see any movie or dramatization of the midterms. I lived through it, and all I want now is for everyone who was elected to DO THEIR JOBS and work on the issues they campaigned on.

The conceit of the show is that the main characters met and got married and are obviously (ahem!) "mature." so perhaps the young people are there for purposes of contrast,and play up the differences between the generations. Otherwise, you're exactly correct, they don't really serve any purpose. Also, the fact that Tea Leoni's character, teacher Jeanie, adopted the boy when he was younger... I'm not sure why that is a thing. Other than proving that Jeanie is compassionate and caring, it really do… MoreThe conceit of the show is that the main characters met and got married and are obviously (ahem!)

Other than proving that Jeanie is compassionate and caring, it really doesn't have any meaning or impact on the characters. (Unless some day the young man and the natural daughter-- raised as brother & sister-- are written to fall in love and/or otherwise hook up.) So yeah, I can only imagine that the age difference between the kids & newlyweds is the reason they're on the show. (Also, to prove that Jeanie is waaaay too attached to the kids and vice versa.)

I haven't been bowled over by Cupertino, not sure where all the enthusiasm comes from that this reviewer loves to give out. And it sounds like the upcoming episode is nothing but "Riding in Cars with Lawyers." Btw, is anyone watching Newlyweds? I think I missed at least one episode, keep forgetting it's on on Fridays.

If those characters were toned down and not so over-the-top, it would be much more watchable.

No, I didn't watch it. I've been immersed in some computer work this week, and sometimes lose track of time. Unless there is a 'must-see' on TV (which there hasn't been since Monday) I've been pretty lax in my viewing.
-
Trumple-thin-skin will never take a lie detector test. Although maybe he would.... I think he actually believes a lot of what he says, so in his mind they're not lies. So maybe he's not a liar, just a deranged nutcase.
-
No tier-1 shows for me tonight. If I remember, and if there's nothing else on, I'll watch Cupertino. I just haven't been 'sucked in' by the show,to the point that I *have* to watch and/or care about the characters.

Was Jeopardy aired in any major markets Tuesday evening? My local station--and I'm sure many others as well-- aired local election coverage instead. I imagine many, many other markets did as well.

She couldn't have actually been 'kicked out' of a political party. But maybe some democrats she knew asked her not to identify as such, or to change her voter registration to Undeclared. But as we all know, declared party membership doesn't really mean anything, since voters can vote for whichever candidate they choose.

Yes, I saw the TCM lineup, and the plot of Sorry Wrong Number does sound intriguing. I've seen TV shows use the same basic concept, but on the big screen it probably was very effective as a 'chiller.'

I know, right? Like there had never been any 'issues' in his past. Almost like the show is whitewashing the controversy about his behavior.

The man knows a cult when he sees one, and he just stated the obvious. No blame to him if the cultists don't want to be reminded that they're in it.And CHEERS TO YOU, Mr. Hoyle!! I'm a kindred spirit, I've had a very negative impression of trumple-thin-skin since the mid-90s myself. He was a horrible, untrustworthy piece of shoe-goo then, and he still is today. Except a thousand times worse now.

That character of Arvid was pretty annoying last week. Of course he's going to follow the professor to the States, so he may be an annoying character for the whole season. We'll see if he can walk the line between being too annoying or just interesting-annoying.

I'll watch Newlyweds. I hope it turns out to be a decent show, although it's usually hard to tell with the first few episodes. There is usually a 'learning curve' for new sitcoms to hit their stride. The question is, when that happens will viewers stick around long enough for the show to actually be a success.

"...he was very upset about the Cheesecake Factory College." Is that supposed to e "Cheesecake Factory comment"?? Or maybe there's a dessert-focused institution of higher learning that I'm not familiar with...?? :-p In any case, Trumple-thin-skin can't take criticism of his tastes and his childish obsession with gold. He doesn't care about criticism about his policies that are bankrupting small businesses or causing middle-class Americans to have to choose between healthy food and a full tank… More"...he was very upset about the Cheesecake Factory College."

‘Abbott’s Halloween Party, ‘Brothers’ Makes News, Martha Plimpton on ‘The Lowdown,’ ‘Fire’ Meets FBI
I'll be watching Expedition Unknown. Last night's NCIS was very blah. I'm already tired of the new director. He's certainly more toned down than the old "very special agent" of former years, but still, his role on the show is extremely unrealistic and getting old quickly.
-
No, Pamela in Connecticut, you're not the only one who was not happy with the return of Tony and Michael Weatherly on NCIS. First of all, there's no way DiNozzo would have gotten the Director job. Second of all, there's no way his even being in the mix for it would have been such a surprise. So far I've managed to endure his presence, although it's beyond unrealistic that he would be able to be so involved in individual cases with the team. Anyway, I'm hoping that at the end of the season Tony will somehow make a decision that this job isn't right for him and go on to somewhere else.

I'm kind of bummed that the writers did this to Isaiah. He could have been an interesting character, interacting with the team in different ways. Now we'll never see him again, certainly not as an agent.

On one hand I agree with you. It was only a matter of a day or two (I'm guessing) since OA has been back in NY, so that seems a little premature for them to just jump into bed together. I would think that Zara would have some reservations about it, as, up until the very last moment, she was under the impression, as everyone else was, that OA had been fired from the FBI and simply dropped off the face of the earth. I know that if I were Zara I would have questions. On the other hand, we only *saw… MoreOn one hand I agree with you.

I know that if I were Zara I would have questions.On the other hand, we only *saw. OA & Zara on one date, but that doesn't mean more didn't happen between then and the time that OA dropped off the grid.In any case, I think the main reason that scene of them in bed was included was to let us know that OA isn't opening up about his undercover experience, and that he blames himself for not saving that guy, and that he's basically having some difficulty reintegrating himself back into normal life. We--and now Maggie-- know that he's just not talking to anyone about the whole thing, and I believe that's the takeaway that we're supposed to have.

Yeah, I saw Tracker, it was a definite ho-hum episode. I didn't catch the phone thing, so kudos to you on that. 😉 I just love how Colter breaks into homes without ever being caught, he has all the info he needs magically sent to his phone before he can finish asking for it, and he always gets the drop on the bad guy. It's just so unrealistic and calls for too much suspension of disbelief. Also, was it ever mentioned how the girl found the boy or where he'd been?

I may have not been paying attention when (if) that was covered. Why can't there be an episode of this show that does not involve kidnapping or some sort of criminal enterprise. Why not a show in which someone simply gets lost in the forest, or has their car accidentally drive off the road in a lonely area, or the person disappears on purpose just to unplug and 'get away from it all'??

FBI is a definite for me. I would try watching that Private Eyes show, but it conflicts with FBI. We'll see if I can watch it at a later time, maybe on demand (although the 'light mystery' genre is something I expect over the summer). We'll see if I even remember to watch it, lolol. (BTW, I realized that the CW channel moved on my local channel listings; maybe that's why I haven't been noticing its shows for the past few months....)

Yeah, I hate the episodes of FBI (or any crime/procedural show) have a 'personal connection' to the crime. When "one of their own" is the victim, that makes sense, but internal corruption... that's one of the things I watch TV to try to get away from. :-p

I do not watch this "Gibbs: Origins" show (as it *should* be called), but I do know it's set in the '70s or '80s or whatever. So... WHY are all the current-day characters appearing in it? Retired Gibbs, Tony, and now Bishop... why are they in the show set 30-40 years ago? I don't really care, of course, but I see this show flogged often enough on this site that I can't help but notice this strange anomaly. The show must be flailing if they have to bring in these other characters...

It's true that trumple-thin-skin "defies historical trends" because, back in the good ol' days (when America was *really* great) citizens and congressmembers would not stand for a shyster fraudulent crook of a president. And since that's what he is (a shyster fraudulent crook of a president) and since most senators and representatives are too afraid to stand up to him lest they pee their pants (or he does something worse in his), he gets away with just about any evil, illegal, slimy thing he wants to do.

Guess I'll be watching The Simpsons and Tracker on Sunday. I'm not really a big fan of the Treehouse of Horror episodes, but any new Simpsons is a good Simpsons.
-
I loved that show!! But I confess that I don't recognize one (or two?) people in that photo and video.

Trumple-thin-skin is always obsessed by what he DOESN'T have-- in this case, good looks and a decent physique.
-
"LeBron James dismissed criticism from former President Donald Trump"I see what you did there. And I approve! 😛 😀

trumple-thin-skin can't help but obsess over what he doesn't have: a handsome face and impressive physique.

Funny.... in Michigan the GOP doesn't want voters to go for Abdul El-Sayed because of his 'funny name' and his religion, which isn't Christian. Yet right next door in Ohio (literally, RIGHT next door) the GOP does want voters to vote for Vivek Ramaswamy, who has a 'funny name' and isn't Christian. Pretty hypocritical, isn't it???

I have a problem with Torres' undercover persona actually killed people. Federal agents are generally prohibited from doing that while undercover.Why can't this show simply stick with what works: Case of the Week.

Wednesday is Expedition Unknown day, so that's usually pretty interesting.

trumple-thin-skin doesn't like questions and comments about himself so he wants to now get rid of the press room. And for a swimming pool?? I don't even want to think of the visual that brings up. X-((Although you know there's NO WAY that man would ever get into a pool.)

Agreed about the small rock. But he did suggest Anna could just 'throw it away, it's just a rock,' which I guess was supposed to give the impression that he didn't care either way. On another article (the one with Jeremy Sisto) I mentioned that about 10 FBI agents & SWAT people swarmed into that building, but nobody heard OA when he fought with Devin (?) in that hallway.

They weren't being quiet, and the agents were in the process of clearing the building, and should have heard or run across the fight. I get that this was OA's moment to square off with Devin so the show wouldn't have anyone else interfere, but Maggie could have been there to back him up and see for herself that OA was okay. That was about my only eyebrow-raising thought.

The powers that be on this site either owe Mark Harmon a ton of money, or he is a major investor/owner of it. Soooo many articles about this misnamed Origins show. And since he's no longer on the original show (thank heavens!) he now feels the need to insert himself into the prequel that nobody asked for.

She really needs to buy him coffee every day for a week after being so mean to him.

These all sound pretty bad and formulaic. Back in the '90s, the Lifetime & Hallmark holiday movies were actually pretty good (most of them, anyway). but that was before the networks started churning them out like fast food french fries.

That IS what happened, but he got all of that from some random bits of glass which could have been there for days or weeks. As for the rest of it, I thought it was obvious that one of the law enforcement guys was involved... it was just a question of whether it was the sheriff or his deputy.I didn't necessarily remember last week's promos, but you're right, it might have been shown in error.By the way, Colter is fixing up his dad's old truck. And he has a big-a$$ pickup that he uses to haul his RV. Was last night's truck the RV puller? It didn't look the same somehow... I thought the color was different..

This is just a ratings stunt. Harmon already runs both shows, doesn't he know how to retire? I was glad when he left NCIS, just like I was glad when Tony left NCIS. The last thing I want is for either of them to return.... and even worse if they appear together.

I thought the Professor T series had ended a few years ago. I guess not. The eccentric professor isn't my favorite entry in the "quirky police consultant" genre by a long shot, but if there's nothing else on, I may watch it. Otherwise I'm stuck with only Tracker.

The very final scene of the main plot brought it home to Jubal that, apparently, Isobel didn't trust him. Although to be honest, I was surprised at the season's premier episode when I discovered that Isobel and Maggie were the only two people 'in' on the secret about OA. I just assumed that Jubal was in on it also. And also I would think there has to be someone higher up the foodchain who's aware of it.

Big surprise.

I could make a comment about Bure and her history of expressing her 'Christian' views..........

That picture is funny. I know that OA is taller than Maggie, but that pic makes him look like he's seven feet tall. 😀

I had never heard of this man before, honestly did not know if he was a singer, and actor, or comedian. (Apparently, he's not much of any of these.) Anyway, I saw a couple minutes of his monologue and thought it was quite painful and embarrassingly bad. Including that comment about women at the gym. In any case, very ironic to hear he's supposed to be some sort of comedian. Go figure!!

Yes, the FBI 'crime' thing wasn't all that compelling (and the NYPD people were made to act totally incorrectly), but I think the point was to lead up to the final scene, when brother turned against brother, and Jubal saw it personified that "people who you think you can trust may not tell you everything." I think I mentioned that back at the end of last season, I thought Jubal was in on the OA-going-undercover thing, so it was jarring to find out that he was in the dark.

I don't blame him for being hurt by it. Two thhings though: 1) Isobel *must* have someone high up who's backing this plan, and 2) based on the previews for next week, it looks like more of the team is going to be in on the secret, and maybe bringing it to a close very soon.

Yes, Jimmy Steward was in the second Thin Man movie (After the Thin Man). And you're right, his character turned out to be a bit surprising. :-pBTW I just looked up on IMDb to see how 'early' of a role this was for him. Turns out that he appeared in *NINE MOVIES* that came out in 1936. Obviously most were minor roles, some even nonspeaking, perhaps, but still, to appear in that many movies that came out in the same year..... I wonder if it's some sort of record.

At least this episode seemed to be a return to how things were in the first (pilot) episode: using actual tracking skills to find someone lost in the woods. I realize they can't do that every week, but that does seem to be the way Colter was introduced: a survivalist and expert tracker in the wild. I didn't see last week's premiere episode, so I don't know why Reenie the Queenie is looking for new offices. Personally I don't care for her and the storylines she gets involved in.

It's like Colter's search doesn't have enough plot to carry an entire episode so the writers have to throw in an unrelated subplot to fill up the hour.

I'm not familiar with the guy who hosted. I caught a few minutes of his opening monologue and figured he was an actor or singer... the monologue was horrible, not funny at all. Now to learn he's a 'comedian'...... that's bad.

If I remember (and can stay awake) I'll watch the SNL cold open. Otherwise the only thing on my list for the weekend is Tracker... although that's only because there's nothing better on. (When the PBS shows come back in 2027, it's a new ball game.)

No, the backdoor pilot didn't occur until into the second season. That's when the ridiculousness struck me: we went for more than an entire season--and all the tragedies I listed--without hearing a peep about Auntie Sheriff.

For years my Friday evenings were all about CBS.... not any more. I'm still beefed about the fact that Fire Country had episodes with car crashes, building collapses, wildfires, illegal drug farms, plane crashes, public protestss, etc. .... all of which involved local sheriffs and law enforcement backup.... And never ONCE was it mentioned that Bode's aunt was the sheriff. So to me the "she's the sheriff" thing seemed forced, shoe-horned or retconned into the storyline. So that's why I chose to skip the sheriff show, and I'd already lost interest in Fire Country.

For the first time in I-don't-know-how-long (years!!) I will not be watching CBS on Thursday nights. When Ghosts and Matlock come back, I will be back also.

Where can we watch the Super Bowl? The game that's *four months* away? My bet is that we can watch it..... on TV. Wow, I better start preparing NOW if I want to see it, heaven knows I won't have another chance to hear anything about it in those four months.
-
Wow, Never thought I'd see the day, but this is ONE THING that someone from that family does that I think is actually GOOD.

Yes, I saw it. It was very good. I didn't guess "whodunnit" so I enjoyed the reveal. It was the black-and-white version from 1945, so yes, it was quite good.(But I did have to wonder... who was feeding the cat? 😀 )

He's the new director? I may have already seen my last episode of this show. Yuck!!! 🙁 😠

My listings don't show Secrets of the Dead to be on PBS this evening-- at least, not the episode described above about the Statue of Liberty.

Tony's return is why I'll be watching TCM tonight, and not NCIS as I usually do.

The first season hasn't even premiered yet, and already this site is bringing up a possible season 2? Take a minute, folks, and let it breathe.

I also thought it was kind of ridiculous that Scola and Eva walked down the NYC streets to talk to this witness or that person of interest (including the girlfriend/suspected spy) noticeably wearing their vests emblazoned with FBI on them. Nothing like trying to be inconspicuous.... not to mention the danger that the witness or person of interest would likely run as soon as they spot the Feds. (It's almost as bad as calling out "FBI, weed to talk to you!" when they're still 25 yards away. *eye-roll emoji*)

I might watch the film "And Then There Were None" on TCM. It's based on an Agatha Christie book that I believe I read back in the dark ages, when I was a teenager, but I only remember the very basic plot. And I'm currently reading another Christie mystery book, so it sounds kind of like I'm meant to watch this.

Yeah, I watched. I think the partner (Isaiah, I believe?) also being on the copter was a surprise. We only saw Maggie in the back seat, no reference to Isaiah at all until he was suddenly taking over flying it. That whole segment was a bit of a stretch, imo. Is Isaiah the nephew of the Big Boss, the black guy who is now in charge? Or just the nephew of some other VIP?Anyway, I do think Maggie was a little cold and unfair to the guy, it's not *his* fault that OA isn't there. Also, I thought Jubal… MoreYeah, I watched.

Also, I thought Jubal was in on the undercover thing, but I guess it's just Maggie and Isobel. (Although I would think that someone else up the food chain would also have to know, for logistical reasons.....)

Okay, I see. When I typed the one above, after I hit 'post' it still looked like the typed type of emoticon, rather than an actual smiley face. Guess I'll have to use my brain to determine how to type out the emoji I want. And using my brain hurts. :-p
-
Thanks, I see the down-vote option. Still no emojis, though. 🙁 At least, not that I see.
-
Looking forward to FBI.

I didn't even realize it was new last night, so I didn't watch it.

A trump rally-- better known as an 'adore-me session.' When you've seen one, you've seen them all.
-
Oh wait, was this show new tonight? Gee, I missed it. Tragic!
-
Who cares about this show? And unless the writers delve into the world of time travel, there's no way the two can appear together onscreen. (Unless Harmon plays Gibbs' grandfather or something ridiculous like that. And yeah, that *would* be ridiculous.)
-
Such a tragedy, that someone so young should even contemplate such a drastic thing. Sincere condolences to the Lowe family.

Pete Kegsbreath is such a caricature, it's really understandable that his speeches sound like a skit from SNL, or an article from The Onion. Just the way he speaks is st00pid-- if we all took a drink each time he said the word "warrior" or "warrior ethos" (whatever *that* is) we'd all be too tipsy to drive1.He's just a GI Joe wannabe, who wants *sooo badly* to be seen as a tough Delta Force guy or Ranger. :-p
-
Who cares. Why doesn't he just retire already instead of pretending that he's still able to be an action star.
-
Looks like trumpty-dumpty's feet wanted to leave and were facing that direction, but he wanted to keep facing the cameras so he could pretend that everyone loves him and wants to see him.
-
That's ;hardly drama.
-
I hope the new villain isn't Nash. In fact, I could do without seeing Nash again at all, in any capacity. I'm glad Oliver FitzRoy will be back though, I always liked him. Won't miss Ivy and Barnabas Potts... I think their story has run its course.However, I do love this show, I'm sad that it's ending.

“DHS is playing lockdown defense at the border,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “We will use every Weapon at our disposal, from A to X, to keep Americans safe.”What an absolutely STUPID statement. First: what does the concept of lockdown have to do with the image of Dawkins charging out of the tunnel? Second: why would this (pointless) video be considered a weapon? Third: What idiot capitalizes the word 'weapon' in that sentence? And also, fourth: what happened to Y and Z? If you're only going from A to X you're not using every weapon.
-
Normally I'd be cheering this... except I'm skeptical since she might just be replaced with someone worse. :-/So.... not holding my breath.
-
Such a young age, how tragic. My heart goes out to the family. :'(

Cupertino doesn't interest me. I've got Matlock to satisfy my "legal show" itch. As for Eternally Yours, I think I'll pass. Even Ghosts (which I generally like) is starting to show wear and tear, and a show that's clearly riding its coattails doesn't inspire confidence.

Wow, so somebody didn't eat the crust. Alert the media and gather the pitchforks!! Some people also don't like spinach or anchovies on their pizza. Big whoop.

I'm glad the email I received, about a reply to my comment, included the title of the article I commented on. In the previous iteration, the email just said "so-and-so replied to your comment on Article." Not very helpful. 🙁 Although the email did repeat my comment, so that was usually a clue as to which article was being referenced. In any case I'm glad to see the title of the article stated in the email.And yes, I do miss my emojis!

Yay, some new stuff!! I'll try to stay awake for SNL, at least the cold open. Weekend Update would be a bonus. And then tomorrow there's The Simpsons.Btw, this 'new' version of comments seems to have dropped some features of the previous one. Not only do we not have emojis ( >:( ) but now we can't even down-vote comments.

"...Don’t come to the greatest country in the world, the most successful country in the world, and say, ‘I wanna change it.’ "What about all the people who were born and raised here to don't like what your so-called 'entrepreneurs' and capitalists have done to ruin the country and the economy? We ain't going nowhere.

Actually I think Sweeney is being picked on for TWO big reasons.(Come on, *somebody* had to say it.)

I'd like to watch the new SWAT show (although I do have questions and/or awareness of eyerolling tropes), but I don't get Starz. Hopefully it will be available on other platforms soon.

"...my general expectation of them is that they should follow all the applicable laws and ethics regulations, and I believe that they are." Well, Mr. Jennings, tell us, explicitly--in detail, and with receipts--how the Drumpf Crime Family followed the laws and ethics regulations. Go ahead, we'll wait.

This is too bad, he always seemed to be a level-headed guy who had his s**t together. I hope this was just a one-time, really-bad-day kind of thing. (I hate to say it but it was his TV brother who was the troublemaker in the family (and real life).)

Hurray for another honest, law-abiding judge.

The orange idiot is confused, as usual. He says Collins has a 'trump addiction,' when in fact she is only doing her job. **HE** is the one who is addicted, not to mention obsessed, and he sounds very pathetic

NOVA sounds good (note the all caps). If anyone hasn't seen the PBS documentary about New York City that ran in two parts on Monday & Tuesday, I suggest you try to catch it or see if your PBS channel is going to re-air it. Very interesting, and even those people who have nothing but disdain for anything related to NYC have to realize the historic and cultural importance of the city and what it has experienced over the last 100 years.

There's also a moment when a reporter asks him about the ban and the orange idiot is confused and doesn't know what she's referencing, and as people tell him what her question is about and he says "you mean banning the free press?" Or something like that... with him admitting there is such a thing as the free press. The man ain't very smart.

I've been wondering about trumpty-dumpty's obsession with the Kennedy Center. I would have said his obsession was with Barack Hussein Obama. :-p But he *better not* come for the Kennedy Center in a serious way.

No mention of the PBS documentary about New York City? I happened to find the first part of it, which aired Monday night... it dealt with various issues that faced New York (good times and bad) from about 1945 until... August of 2001. The second part of the doc will air tonight, Tuesday, starting with September 2001.

Just like every other name-branded business of his (steaks? university? airline?) it's going to be defunct soon.
