The TV thread

Holy shit - I watch the music channels on Pluto all the time but somehow completely missed the Iron Chef Channel. Thank you for this. Watching it now. It’s the Guinea Fowl Battle.

 

The first episode was very disappointing and way too bloated with characters

 

Ah, but the ferris-wheel scene was award-worthy.

 

I couldn’t disagree more. Felt so forced and strained.

 

I want to like Space Force. Everyone connected to it has proven they can do this sort of thing brilliantly, but it always just misses the mark.

Pluto works fine on Roku for those who don't mind the clunkiness.. Crackle can do little wrong since they gave the world "Comedians in Cars etc..."

Is Slow TV on Pluto? The platform made me run screaming, and this is after dealing with the Commodore64 level tech wonderment that is PBS/PBS Passport. BTW, Iron Chef on IMDB starts with the introduction of Morimoto and may have been redubbed. I miss Scott Morris calling ingredients "maters," "taters," and "nanners" on Dr. Hattori's behalf.

For some reason, my mother would hear the theme to Get Smart and have to go to the kitchen and burn something to get the raginess at it out of her system. I still get the giggles when lawyers talk about "the cone of silence."

PS. I still love Balki and Coozin Lawrrreee.

 

I had a Get Smart lunchbox.

I can't recall why.

 

You’re really questioning that decision? Was it Maxwell Smart on the shoe phone? Please tell me it was him on the shoe phone…

 

Well, of course it was.

 

Re-watching Low Winter Sun on Pluto. Characters pulled from everywhere: Mark Strong (Kingsmen series), David Constable (The Wire, Billions), Sprague Grayden (6 Feet Under),Athena Karkanis (Mainfest), James Ransone (The Wire), Lennie james (Walking Dead), Ruben Santiago-Hudson (Castle). It's dated a bit, but very good.

 

Big Odd Couple fan and they have those on Hulu as well. But, as with Taxi and I'm sure others, not every episode due to copyright issues (i.e. music).

 

Anyone still watching Billions? Still solid but losing Axe (i.e. Damien Lewis) has really hurt. Mike Prince is simply not the antagonist Axe was. And Wags hasn’t had much to do so far this season. Chuck has been gallivanting around on stupid crusades.

Hopefully the shakeup last episode invigorates the second half of the season. Surprised it was renewed for a seventh season. Maybe They can get Lewis back.
