Apparently I missed this piece of news Bravo will be back in Canada (after being rebranded as CTV Drama) they're finally doing something with the dormant rerun central channel that was once called Outdoor Life Network (so does this mean SLICE won't be airing Real Housewives anymore? I'm not hearing any other major rebrands that are coming)

Watched Bad Monkey the other day with Vince Vaugh , very enjoyable and can't think of a actor more perfectly cast. 😊😄

This one is on my list 

[Noeller]

I've been wondering if that's any good... I generally don't really trust streaming movies. Good to hear it might be worthwhile...

[bustamente]

Watched the Instigators and while there was some good parts overall I found it lacking. With that cast I expected better, the shrink was the best part of  the movie.

Come September First OWN will no longer be available in Canada...that channel stopped being watchable when they  stopped doing Oprah Where Are They Now

 

I don't have a link I looked at my PVR

 

Furthermore HGTV and the Food Network might be rebranded as well (well it's not like it had lost it's purposed like OLN did)

 

one of the APTN channels will be rebranded as APTN Languages (like from what I'm reading it's going to be Indigenous language programming

Still nothing on Ted himself

I was reading that Jason Sudekis was open to the iidea of a season 4. The only one who wouldn't return would be the actor who played Jamie Tart as he has moved on to another tv series. Living in England where the series was filmed & away from his family for months at a time is the main reason Sudekis ended Ted Lasso after 3 seasons.

oh well I'm sure we'll be seeing her on The Masked Singer soon enough (she already did Dancing with the Stars way back in season 1....and she "won" (her win was controversial) and that was almost 20 years ago)

I was referring to Kelly Monaco being let go from General Hospital

It's not a bad lineup but I wish they'd stop relying on bachelor nation 

 

Well Baby Bop and BJ look the same (I refuse to call him Billy) but does this mean that Baby Bop is going to sound like C******? It's censored because I don't speak his name.....and I bring it up because Baby Bop's voice actress was C******'s first voice actress)

 

Odd they're normally renewed after the first episode drops https://deadline.com/2024/09/only-murders-in-the-building-renewal-season-5-1236077686/

My question is, who are the people making the decisions to cast someone like that... it makes no sense to me.

the same people that probably cast Carole Baskin and Tonya Harding when they did the Sports edition years ago (yeah that was a real thing and she made it to the finals....I think it was a really long time ago like back when they were doing two installments a year) or the politicians they booked that essentially drove Bergeron off (yeah he made it clear he detested that they cast Spicer) 

yeah I haven't been pleased with their choices either they've been too reliant on the Bachelor Franchise castings (hell Trista Rehn the first bachelorette was in the very first season....she was kicked off first....alot of firsts with her)

 

I don't remember the last time they cast someone I really wanted to see on the show (the last time I was excited for a win was when Amber Riley did the show over a decade ago) and I've seen a bunch of DWTS also rans do the Masked Singer and vice versa

Just finished binge watching Fall Out, it was weird but interesting

So much fun. Lots of holes but exactly what it should be.

I guess those reunions at the 75th ceremony went over that well
