Apparently it has gone on for like a dozen years. I’ve not seen acting this
atrocious since daytime soap operas. I swear the actors must be reading the
words off cue-cards having never read them before. Their intonation and
type of emotion will change mid-sentence, as if they are just discovering
at that moment whether it’s supposed to be sad or sweet. And the reaction
shots seem to be delayed from the action supposedly taking place, which is
just sloppy editing. The horses all have the same look of despair, as if
they know it is either this or the glue factory.

The gang from Letterkenny needs to pay them a visit and kick their asses.

Heck, the gang from Degrassi needs to pay them a visit and kick their
asses.

Is Sinclair repositioning for ATSC 3.0?

In Buffalo, Sinclair's WNYO is suppose to be lighting up on their 
current RF channel with ATSC 3.0 sometime this Spring.


I assume they'll move MyTV to a WUTV/Fox sub-channel.

2021-02-06 Thread 'Dave Sikula' via TVorNotTV
In my last show in New York, I worked with the actress who had played 
Miranda to his Prospero at Stratford. She became very close to him (not 
that way), and told me that he lied about his age, so I assume he was 
actually around 93. At a certain point, it doesn't seem like it would 
matter, but that's showbiz.
