The TV thread

Your CBS affiliate is apparently owned by Sinclair. I feel bad for you, but not as bad as I feel for the people working under those shitweasels.

 

We have a Sinclair station which I refuse to watch but no matter how many times I tell my husband that If he's going to watch the news, change it to one of the other channels, he always forgets. Drives me insane.

 

She absofuckinglutely plopped.

 

Larry/Susie fights will never get old.

 

The only things about Jeff/Larry/Susie is that Jeff never seems to say anything during their meetings with anyone else and he lets his wife rip into the client who made them a lot of money.

The scene in the Netflix office with the perfectly representative group on the couch while the white guy from Veep doesn’t listen to them at all and just makes all the decisions was gold.

 

Gwen and I just watched the finale a second time last night to revel in the Steve Martin-Amy Ryan poison scene and to catch a few clues that we missed the first time. We laughed just as hard.

 

Oh, of course it’s Sinclair. Seemed like something the Koch folks thought up in their reptilian brains.

 

My station was rumored to be up for sale for years and I would literally lose sleep over the idea that Sinclair may buy us. (Thankfully, someone else is buying us right now.)

There is no finer actor working today than Michael Keaton. Some are as good. No one is better.

 

That pitch scene may be the most shocking in the history of the show: I was advance- cringing waiting for Larry to insult the overweight legless African-American in the wheelchair and somehow he never did.

 

I think we may see them more.

 

Made it through "Colin in Black and White" on Netflix in one night after the World Series on Saturday. Kaepernick tells his story from junior high days up until his senior year. Powerful ending. His hometown paper, where I once worked, is even displayed a couple of times. One minor complaint: His high school, Pitman, is shown in blue and gold uniforms, which is the colors of crosstown rival Turlock High. Pitman wears green and black.

Powerful, inspiring ending. Have tissues nearby if you're the crying type.
