The TV thread

I generally enjoy it. His sister and her husband are absolutely hilarious.

 

Black Mirror is back!! (beginning Thurs). I loved this series, so Twilight Zone ish for the 21st Century, dark, thrilling, well acted and produced, then it went dark what 3-4 yrs ago? One episode of Bandersnatch which I couldn't get into, then silence. But here we go again!! I'm psyched. You?

 

I've said it before, but that first episode of Black Mirror was the most disturbing thing I've ever seen on TV. In a good way.

 

No doubt. I felt the same way.

 

Rewatching Ozark. Rule # 1: When Darlene Snell leaves the room, run away! As fast as you can!

 

Wheel! Of! Retirement!

 

Seeing Vanna White naked was a special time.

 

Mike Richards is updating his LinkedIn.

 

Someone needs to give him a ceramic dog as a retirement gift.

 

Just give him a gift certificate. Hopefully, this will spare Wheel the chaos of the Jeopardy host search by having Sajak around to give his blessing. It would be nice if it was a person of color - and why do I think this is the perfect gig for Mario Lopez?

 

I don't think Wheel is going to have that problem, since Sajak is pretty much at the replacement value level when it comes to hosts - just a guy who can stand there, ask some light questions, and keep things moving. The few times she's hosted, Vanna has been a more compelling figure, as damning with faint praise as that might seem. It wouldn't surprise me if that's the move they make, since already, Sajak's daughter Maggie fills in for Vanna. If they don't do that, then I think they do go with a decent name for it. (Not like there's a Ken Jennings-style equivalent for Wheel, the closest thing being Caitlin Burke.)

 

I can't believe that show still exists. It is paired with a show that highlights how simple it is and the only reason it ever gets mentioned is for how stupid its contestants are.
