The TV Thread

So what's going to happen with ABC Spark now? (remember Corus has made some choices I don't agree with, Rebranding Teletoon as Cartoon Network, letting the final two YTV PJ's go, and now Peggy 99.1 is going to be another Country station) they don't really do 31 Nights of Halloween or 25 days of Christmas anymore (thanks alot Disney+) and with the final two freeform shows now cancelled this will leave a big question mark for that channel as most of the stuff they currently air are *runs over to the nearest tv I can to check the guide* reruns of most of their original shows as well as 8 Simple Rules

does this mean Grey's will finally have an end date too? (Station 19 is ending with season 7)

I thought they finally moved out of the projects in the series finale and yet a fourth generation is living there now?

Me and the missus were looking forward to Reacher.

Yessir... Wife and I watched the first 3 eps tonight. It's not high quality TV (won't be winning any Emmys ) but it's entertaining comfort food TV. Good action and I'm into the story.

remember she said SYNDICATED jeopardy as in the one that airs in the daytime, we don't know if she's been let go outright, this saga is not going to end

Just as I thought she was just released from the Daytime job not the primetime job https://tvline.com/news/jeopardy-mayim-bialik-fired-host-explained-reason-statement-1235099862/

Getting into the Godfather of Harlem with Forest Whitaker, Chaz Palmientari, Giamcarlo esposito, Paul Sorvino & other great actors. Two more episodes & I've wrapped up Season 1.

Well essentially she is out as primetime was a series of specials and unlikely to continue en masse post strike.

Nothing against Mayim, but to me Ken seemed more relaxed and personable during the actual gameplay.

[iHeart]

Well, at least they're not going to run it into the ground like they did with Archer and like they've been doing with Always Sunny

MASH is still one of my all time favorite shows. 

I was only old enough to watch the first run of the last couple of seasons but I remember watching the reruns for years on CKND.

Every night at 10:00 pm CKND would show MASH re-runs.

I remember that. Anyone remember this, "Parents, where are your children?"

This is turning out to be a great series, not a bad episode in the bunch, mixing in Malcolm X and Ali makes it all that much more interesting.  Vincent D'Onofrio plays an excellent foil, he's got a bit of Brian Dennehy in him, both in looks and style.

D'Onofrio always plays his characters with an edge. I remember his Law & Order character had emotional issues that sometimes broke thru in certain situations. He does play Vincent Gigamte as a psychopath. Great axtor.

Thoughts on the final season of Letterkenny?

[Fatty Liver]

Watched 6 episodes of The Bookie so far and it's hilarious, stars stand-up comedian Sebastian Maniscalco and has a number of famous guest appearances, Ray Romano, Charlie Sheen, Rob Coddry and Wayne Knight so far.  Each episode is short but sweet  at 22 mins. each, it doesn't take itself at all seriously, best laughs I've had from a TV series in a long time.

Pretty sure I'm already paying them... I love the convenience and the general idea behind streaming services, but I hate the execution and how it's turned into just another version of cable.

If you're showing ads...shouldn't it be cheaper ala NFLX?

And AmaPrime has a ship interface...they should be paying us for being forced to use it.
