Hell, I can relate to that. New knee & all for me.  Thankfully, the pain is now gone BUT I STILL MOVE SLOW. Lol! Apparently, some days it's so bad Tom Selleck needs a stunt double to show Frank Reagan getting out of his limo. Selleck is a pro. he's never missed a day of shooting. 

Well, he does portray a cop, so missing a shooting would be a no-no.

I'll give them this though, this gave the franchise a chance to have a real series finale considering the cancellation of the original series was so abrupt and sudden (like just before they shot the finale for season 8)

That's not unusual though. If you've been on a while(and this was a bad show that was successful) you better have a season finale with some type of ending even if you might get renewed. No show should go past 7 season IMHO.

well from what I understand Jeff Franklin gave up on trying to get them to return, besides I read somewhere that one of them didn't want to return anyway (which is kind of ridiculous even when Roseanne made her short lived return they found a way to work in both Lecey Goranson and Sarah Chalke)

With Head of the Class being on HBO is it too much to hope for that it's a hard R rated sitcom?? lol

I just realized something....if Whose Line is going to be on HBO Max as well does this mean it'll be uncensored?

 

all of a sudden it would make more sense that the Friends reunion would be on HBO Max

I assume HBO Max will have G rated content too.  I was being somewhat facetious but an unrated Head of the Class revival would be fun.

Watch Middleditch and Schwartz on Netflix. Do it now. My face hurts from laughing so hard.

man this could screw up so much....but then again I'm not old enough to remember when a tv season would stretch into August

also Transplant has found a US  home, but know what has gone on with the Listener and that other Canadian medical drama that aired on CTV (it had hope in the title I think it's been a very long time) I just remembered what it was called Saving Hope

The Blacklist, one of my favourite  TV shows, had the filming of its season finale interrupted by the Coronavirus lockdown in /new York, but managed to complete the storyline in a very ingenious fashion.

Watched it. They used animation and split screen green screen and stitched things together- odd but got the job done.

"Should you be terrified or exhilarated at the prospect of a gene-editing tool fueling a modern-day scientific revolution? “Human Nature,” a new film on the technology, braids the tool’s promise and potential perils into a riveting double helix.

The Dan Rather-produced doc, which was directed by Adam Bolt, focuses on CRISPR-Cas9, a technique that “programs” an enzyme to seek and find a specific position on DNA, then cut the molecule at the preferred location. Scientists can then add, delete or edit the DNA.

“I can cut any gene I want,” says Jennifer Doudna, the biochemist who helped develop the technology, in the film. She seems barely able to contain her excitement."

Now on Crave (an excellent and well-balanced documentary)
