Jim Garner, one of the greats. Tom Selleck co-starred in 3 episodes of the Rockford Files in the late 70's and he was so impressed with the way Jim ran the set and treated his co-stars and crew at the time he said to himself, if I ever have the opportunity to have my own series I will run it the exact same way Jim is running his. A year later he landed Magnum P.I. and Tom did just that.

Started watching BoB again.... looked up the schwimmer character, turns out he really was a serious tool.

The episode with Mariette Hartley was pretty funny as well.

I've been waiting for season 2 of The Old Man. It's been 2 years. It looks like the 2 episode premier comes out Sept 12th, with it streaming on Hulu the next day. After that, one episode per week (which I hate).

I have the complete sets plus the movies that came out years after the original series ended.

The original series is great for car-spotting as well… if you don’t mind seeing classics wrecked. ;-)

There was one episode where he went to a Indy Porsche shop looking for someone. I also liked his fathers pick up truck.

Don't bother with Peacock's "Those About To Die". Holy moly it is bad. How they Hopkins to play a part is...well...they must have dropped a truck load of Benjamins.

It was a best selling novel, and I'd read the show was quite high in production values, with an excellent performance by Brie Lawson as a young chemist working in a 1950's lab as the only female, trying to prove she can do as well as everyone else.



Eventually, she rises about it all and becomes a popular host of a TV cooking show later. As expected, lots of sexism, given the time period, and had a Mad Men level of detail/vibe/production values , so highly accurate to say the least.

That said, both the first two episodes had flashback to when she was (potentially) sexually assaulted and a couple more similar situations in the real-time segments. Really bummed to see that, and I'm sure they won't be the last. I might give it a few more tires, and Brie does a great job acting, but if the violence (even implied) continues, I'm out.

I think you saw all the assault portions of the series, which to me were there for character developmnet. I just finished the first (and according to Brie and the producer) and only season. I very much enjoyed the show and the cast, especially Brie Larson and Lewis Pullman (Bill Pullman's son- "Bob" in Top Gun: Maverick). The dog was cool. It centers on misogyny in the '50s, but delivers a lot more, including a nice look at the '50s. I want to get a '49-'50 Ford like Brie was driving in it.

Fool me once. Suspense, whodunit. One season series. Just OK. Not terrible, not great.

Watched EVIL on Paramount... That show doesn't know if it tries to be scary, funny, or horny... Nothing really bad ever happens to the main protagonists and they always return, so "nah"...

Lioness was pretty good (special ops), might rewatch that before I cancel paramount. Starting to feel like I've reached the end of the internet, show wise..

Catching up on "the bear" (Hulu) - it's super stressful but it's clever and different.

I heard Acolyte (disney, star wars) was cancelled, thank goodness. I felt obligated to watch since I pay for disney, it was the worst show ever.

The old Man is back soon, that'll be good...

[Steve Carlton]

I think Evil was a CBS show (or at least produced by them). Seemed a bit cheesy to me. There's tons of good stuff available. Shrinking, The Devil's Hour, The Outsider, 1923, Bosch, Bosch Legacy, Fleabag for example.

Right now on Bravo, "My Cousin Vinny" is on. I watched it from about the middle to the end, and it came on again, so,yep, watching again. Marisa Tomei is so freaking gorgeous!!!

residents. Check it out.
