The TV thread

Is there a newer version? I've been watching the celebrity editions with Ahmad Rashad and wishing the first two seasons with Cooper were available. "Anderson's Playhouse" was demented fun.

 

Yes, brand new. First five episodes released last week, three new tomorrow and the last two Oct.21.

 

I’ve enjoyed the new Quantum Leap so far, but I have a nitpick about the fourth episode. Ben leaps into a woman for the first time, and other than a brief joke or two from Addison in the opening scene, he basically adjusts to being a woman pretty quickly.

The old Quantum Leap at least the first few times had Sam struggling to learn to be a woman. This episode pretty much missed that.

 

Just finished binge-watching "Welcome to Wrexham." Most episodes, especially those dealing with the team, the community and the actual games, were enjoyable. Several of the others got way off target, tried too hard to be funny, etc., and I just blew through them.

Not quite "Sunderlin 'till I die" quality, but a solid 6 or 7. Also made me happy I'll never have to learn to speak Welsh.

Wrexham are having a pretty solid season this year too, thus far.

 

Favorite line from the recent batch of "Reboot"

"We need to fill this audience with people who will laugh - not nod their head in amusement."

 

Finished Bad Sisters on Apple TV. Great show which got zero buzz.

 

I agree. Loved the finale, it wrapped up the story really well.

 

From watching postseason baseball, I've learned a new season of Mythic Quest is coming Nov. 11. Love that show.

 

Paul Reiser is doing work in Reboot. And the joke by Selma about the 1983 Sixers was fantastic

 

The Reboot writers room needs a spin-off.

 

That was the problem with S2 of The Morning Show. EVERY character had to have a storyline. It was too much and wrecked the flow.

 

"Knight Rider."

Yes, the show that made Hasselhoff a star 40 years ago, now on Netflix. My wife and I watched the two-part pilot last night, and there were plenty of "that's so bad it's funny" laughs.

Props to the theme song, though. Still cool.
