The TV thread

Lethal Weapon is still fun. MacGyver is not good. Not even bad. Just another mediocre CBS procedural.

 

Whatever the advertisers say it is.

 

It really is a great show. Although I keep forgetting it's not supposed to be in real time, so I've found myself nitpicking the time element a few times.

 

I thought Pitch made a big jump in quality from pilot to Episode 2, though I'm afraid that's at least partially because they didn't show her pitching. For all the talk of the realism of the baseball scenes, something didn't look right when she was throwing in the pilot. And it was easy to tell when it was and when it was her double.

 

Cable stations have no FCC restrictions. They can show what they want, but generally adhere to broadcast standards.

 

There's been an occasional F bomb on FX shows in the past, but this year, Atlanta has really let it fly.

 

Caught up on Fear the Walking Dead. Wound up enjoying it. And tonight's season finale was well worth it.

 

Just read where Carlos Bernard is reprising his role of Tony in the newest 24 reboot, Legacy.

Wasn't sure how to feel about Live Another Day, but I wound up liking it. Hopefully it's the same with Legacy.

 

Even more pissed off about MacGyver now that I realized the show "Limitless— which, though a spinoff of The movie, was pretty damned original and funny — was canceled to get that shit heap on the air"

 

In an effort to cut household expenses, we were on the phone with DirecTv again.
Now we've lowered that bill significantly and have HBO again.

I've about to get caught up on 'Westworld' before the third episode, but wasn't there a new crime show recently? I couldn't find a title that looked familiar on the website.

 

It's not a crime show, per se, but guessing you are taking about The Night Of which is worth watching IMO.

 

I was watching something else on FX recently, can't remember what, and I heard an F bomb, too. Definitely caught me off guard. It might have been that show, actually. Can't think of anything else I've watched on FX recently.
