and Lucky, plus the time jump is for the best (Principal Moss's voice actor died too)

I can do impressions. It’s really not that difficult to replace one voice actor with another.

yeah but perhaps maybe they want to respect the voice actors like how the Simpsons people didn't want to recast Troy McClure or Lionel Hutz  (though granted they could have, Billy West's Zapp Branagain on Futurama is eerily close to Phil Hartman's voice)

Yes. That I can understand for sure.

I would think so since it counts as canuckvision.

Halfway through re-watching Breaking Bad. I forgot how many laugh out loud moments there were. Also after having watched Better Call Saul, they did an amazing job on continuity...so many little touches..."Hey! Its Mike's granddaughter!".

What a great pair of shows.

Currently in the midst of Shrinking S2.... So many actors that I love from other things. We'd watched S1 when it came out and 2 has taken it even higher. Absolutely worthy of the 97% it has on Rotten Tomatoes.

Going to binge watch that one after I'm done with Silo, Landman and the reboot S2 of Frazier

100%, I love those shows.  I just finished re-watching Breaking Bad with my wife, who hadn't watched before, so I'm looking forward to watching BCS again

I thought it was terrible (the whole second half of season 5 really, since Costner left).  It felt very rushed and a lot of it didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

Haven't seen it since they took it off Prime (main) and put it on the separate Paramount network. The one thing I am tell you for fact is that the show is basically porn for rural Albertans.... Man do people love that show out here.

I'm addicted ,even with Costner gone ,still one of the best shows ever made. Can't wait for the continuation of 1923.

100% and Costner could have done it too. I think he was done with Horizon 1 AND 2 when they started filming the second half of 5.

Currently binge watching It’s Always Sunny. It’s keeping me alive. My kind of funny.

No one brought up Blue Bloods ending yet? Happy? Sad?

That's a shame. I haven't seen S2 yet but really enjoyed S1. Bridges and Lithgow are incredible.

Maybe some one pick it up for a season 3 but like they said 16 eps in 5 years its tough to keep the fans interested and even if renewed now, wont see light of day until 2026.

I really liked season one but season two was a disappointment. I'll echo the previous comment on how good Bridges and Lithgow were.

All these series on streaming tv channels like Paramount + or Hulu, Netflix whatever are just throwaways with just 10 episodes. None of them last & are cancelled at the whim of the executives on these channels. You can't even get really invested in them because their seasons are too short. Then you wait a year or more for the next season. Quality or quantity  with 10 episodes, you say? Well ****, quality doesn't matter. They cancel them anyway. Hard to really care for any of them than other than just a few shows.

I am hoping for another strike so I can catch up on all the TV series that I want to watch. 

I plan to get back to shows like Yellowstone, The Diplomat,  Tulsa King and Oldman but then I start bingeing others like Bookie, Colin from Accounts, and A Man on the Inside. 

There's just no end to it all.

Do you guys generally go through a rotation of shows or try to bang one off before starting another?
