The TV thread

Hargitay was at her hottest in her 90 seconds or so on Seinfeld

So this thread took me down a Mariska Hargitay IMDB wormhole. I wanted to remember the roles she had before she became a constantly aggrieved, 2020s version of Quincy on SVU.

That took me to her cast list and I saw that one of her first credits was Ronnie Milsap's "She Loves My Car" video.

That took me to Youtube because I'd never seen it/didn't remember it.

It was definitely a gift that gave a lot. We MTV viewers in the 1980s we blissfully unaware of the other genres (country in Milsap's case, though this is hardly country) that also hoped on the video bandwagon.

So if you ever wanted to see a video featuring the two main members of the lauded punk band X, Tattoo from Fantasy Island, the motherforker from "Secret Admirer", Hargitay, incongruent obligatory breakdancing in a video, an inclusion that breaks the previous tie between Robert Plant's "In The Mood" and Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl" ... as well as a chorus that sounds conspicuously like "she loves my cork" ... dig in!

I don't want to seem like a little kid screaming "I was first! I was first!", but I have a post from six years ago buried in the "I didn't realize he/she was in that" on this very video.

At least give me credit for an epic D_B.

Early Law & Order:SVU was peak Hargitay.

This looks like it's going to be fun.

I hope they found their way with this one again. Season 2 was disappointing.

Black Doves on Netflix is pretty cool. Never been the biggest Keira Knightley fan but she does a nice job here.

Forget it, after a taut 2.5 episodes, I'm at 4.2 episodes now and it got ridiculous.

Having watched the first 2 episodes of Landman, I'm surprised that it wasn't a night of programming at the RNC

Finished it, it was kind of ridiculous but saved itself a bit at the end rather than continue on the ridiculous arc.

I'm really enjoying "Based on a True Story" on Peacock. Kaley Cuoco and her husband stumble upon the identity of a serial killer and instead of turning him in, they start a podcast about him.
It's funny and suspenseful at the same time.

Just finished Based on a True Story season 2. It starts a bit slow but there are a lot of plot twists in later episodes that make it a fun watch.
