Re: [TV orNotTV] What Tom Selleck did in the final season of Magnum TOS

[Doug Eastick]

i just realised that I don't think I watched the last 1-2 seasons of Magnum
PI, as I was out of town in University and doing other important things.

On a related note, I have 5 seasons of new Magnum PI on my plex server that
I don't think I've watched much of either.I seem to recall reading that
around season 4 or 5 that Magnum and Higgins get it on.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Ex-RNC chair sacked from NBC News

[Doug Eastick]

Maddow and joy Reid spent significant air time ripping the {MS}NBC
announcement last week.  On Monday Maddow spent her whole A-block on
specific fascists, fascist-enablers (a fav topic of hers) and wrapping with
the ultimate MSNBC decision on the weekend to Not have Ronna on MSNBC.

I was kinda impressed that the shows were allowed to speak against the
top.  But maybe that only happens at Fox.

Re: [TV orNotTV] NBC's Paris Olympics opening ceremony coverage...

[Doug Eastick]

It's not that often I go to a theatre, but watching the Taylor Swift Eras
concert on an IMAX screen (and associated sound system) was way better than
watching it on my tablet or cable TV.

Re: [TV orNotTV] NoTV: BBC Podcasts Exclusively on Amazon

[Doug Eastick]

Adam,
Your mention of BBC Sounds..

I am now commuting an hour each morning and afternoon.   Sometime in the
past few years I must have installed BBC Sounds on my phone, so one drive
while I was tired of SXM, Terrestrial, Podcasts I hit the BBC Sounds app
and listened to BBC 1 for a drive.  My impression is not about the
music itself -- I'm ok with the music.  What did surprise me is the amount
of DJ talking between each song (equivalent of "Shout out to Bob from Leeds
that messaged us, and Tawny from New Zealand" between each song) and
perhaps the abbreviation of songs.It didn't seem like they were playing
each song in full (or each song is only 2:30 long).   Is BBC 1 usually
hyper like this?   Or maybe it was because it was 9pm UK time.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Oscars 2024 Ratings Up 4%

[Doug Eastick]

I liked the earlier start time, as it allowed by TiVo to buffer things and
I could bloop the commercials, and still get to bed at 1030pm.

I liked the approach of 5-former winners introducing the nominees for the
acting categories.

As for Kimmel, he did alright.I honestly thought the "mean tweet" he
read was scripted, but now I'm hearing that it was real.   Here's an EW
article on that.  Jimmy Kimmel was told not to read Donald Trump message at
Oscars (ew.com)

The name (and position, I guess) of Mr. Mark Lazarus often reminds me of
the character Merc Lapidus from Episodes, played by John Pankow.

They seemed to spend more time on talking about the guest than on his

when I heard it was Mark Rebillet, I thought "oh cool".   Then as he
started his set it hit me Mark takes a while to get his loops and
effective groove going.   Thus, giving the guy 4 minutes (or whatever
snippet they gave him) was not really a good thing for him.

For Mark's full Coachella set (50 mins) that I saw in person try this.

Re: [TV orNotTV] NFL Playoff Streamer Moves To Prime

[Doug Eastick]

I can only hope that the (much hated) Bell/TSN deal in Canada keeps all the
games they get on cable.

[TV orNotTV] canada: CTV cuts..... deep

[Doug Eastick]

As usual, within after a month that Bell 'celebrates' or brings awareness
to mental health through their Bell Let's Talk campaign, Bell media sells
of a truckload of radio stations and CTV cuts 4800 jobs.   (It's like
clockwork every year).


I'll link the CBC news article.

In general, no local noon news; no local weekend news.Only a few major
markets keep those.

Bell Media planning cuts to CTV, BNN Bloomberg following BCE layoffs, sale
of 45 radio stations | CBC News

Re: [TV orNotTV] Dr Johnny Fever returns! (as a compilation)

[Doug Eastick]

I am 70 minutes into this audio file, and it's great.  It seems they
have edited it so the time-checks ("it's 8:03 in Cincinnati") are in order.

If you liked WKRP, I highly suggest you download the audio file to your
phone so you can play it in the car, or walking the dog, or whatever.

I haven't heard the Red Wigglers commercial yet, but I hope to.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Amazon Prime Starting Ads on Jan. 29

[Doug Eastick]

I appreciate those footnotes that say "1 of 3 ads remaining" because it
gives me the opportunity to decide if I can run to the kitchen or bathroom,
like it was the 1980's and most commercial breaks were 4x30 seconds (2
minutes).

Re: [TV orNotTV] Super Bowl ratings

[Doug Eastick]

In my house, the following has happened since the Tayvis partnering:
1) wife learned the rules of football.
2) watched a number of KC games with me.
3) Asked at the beginning of the DET-SF game "are there any players in this
game that are going out with a megastar?   If no, I'm going to watch
Netflix".

I'm not sure about the restrictions you mention.

But here's a link to an episode involving Doc Oc (Dr. Octopus)

Re: [TV orNotTV] Question for the brain trust: Best courtroom depiction

[Doug Eastick]

I love this reply.   Thank you Adam, and welcome.

May I suggest Legally Blonde?  :)

More seriously, the only thing I've watched recently with courtrooms was
the Netflix Lincoln Lawyer.Some of that might cover your desired
elements.

[TV orNotTV] Quickie Review: BEEF (Netflix).

[Doug Eastick]

I think it was released in the spring of this year. I recall some social
media vitality.

It's a comedy/drama.  It's brilliantly written and brilliant
cinematography.   Funny, dramatic, touching.

My son watched all 10 eps and recommended it.   My wife and I have two
episodes left.   We all thought the arc closed at episode six.

If you liked The Bear, you will probably like BEEF too.

Also nominated for some Emmy's , so go watch it.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Amazon Prime Starting Ads on Jan. 29

[Doug Eastick]

I should add... that after I saw that announcement I looked into it from a
Canadian perspective. Doesn't look like it applies to us yet.   I pay
$9.99 CAD per month for Amazon Prime (the shipping and some discounts) and
also get Prime Video (movies, some TV shows) included.

of course, our content library offered by Prime Video is probably much more
limited than the US

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Peacock gets NFL exclusives

[Doug Eastick]

I watched the game in Canada on TSN, who has the rights to broadcast NFL in
Canada (including the peacock and Amazon Prime games). I recall seeing
some extra filler content in the last quarter. Maybe I should rewind the
tivo to check.



But now I'm wondering if TSN got screwed over on slots to air advertising
in the Canadian market. Hmm.

Re: [TV orNotTV] J! contestants fail to recognize Led Zeppelin... X reacts

[Doug Eastick]

  Regarding point 2
I was at a fundraiser dinner last night and the entertainer was a tribute
act to the 50s and 60s. Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, buddy Holly, Elvis and
one other I did not stay for.

At age 56 these acts are known to me but not all the songs.  The age 65-75+
people at my table were "you don't know THIS SONG?!"

So, yeah Tom's absolutely right.

I'll wait until age 75 for a fundraiser with Rush, Yes, Genesis tribute
acts.

[TV orNotTV] KindaTV: Geddy Lee - book tour and media appearances

[Doug Eastick]

Canadian band guy Geddy Lee, from Rush, has released an autobiography.
My feeds are showing copious appearances of Geddy.

Here's one from Radio/TV on CBC's Q.

https://youtu.be/IMUaFy-bJSs?si=yA9DlfMzFbZptKtY

If you are a Rush fan, I suggest you either buy the book or at least search
youtube for his appearances.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Canadian TV Show Claims Well-Known Singer Is Not Indigenous

[Doug Eastick]

I haven't watched the episode in question, but I have seen the series
before.   It is typical "Investigative Journalism" where they go deep in a

[TV orNotTV] quickie review: Platonic (apple tv)

[Doug Eastick]

I thought it was a romcom from the trailer.It's almost like one.  I 
guess it fits in the "buddy" genre.

You kind of have to tolerate Seth Rogen (if he's not your fav). But I 
think the rest of the cast were great had some great fast lines that made 
me laugh.

The series is 10 x 30minute episodes.   I suggest doing the first 2-3 eps 
before making a full judgement.

The "bloopers" at the end of episode 10 are not worth waiting through the 
foreign credits.

Platonic is available on Apple TV or your favorite Betamax loaning services.

[TV orNotTV] Mini review: The Flatshare (UK based, Paramount Plus)

[Doug Eastick]

The Flatshare (TV series) - Wikipedia 



We are two or three episodes in and we like it.   As usual, you have to get 
past the first episode which is a lot of plot/story setting and character 
introduction.

I don't know any of the actors, but apparently the lead is from Downton 
Abby.

For those interested in investing in song-rights and licensing, Hipgnosis
Songs Fund continues to buy lotsa rights and market them.   I think their
most recent major acquisition was Beiber's stuff.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: CTV, bell media cuts

[Doug Eastick]

With all the tv channels they have (ctv News Channel, cp24, bnn) I wonder
if they will start to shut some of them down.

The channel proliferation decades ago, and now the shrinking of streaming,
I wonder if some of the decades old channels will get killed off by some of
these conglomerates.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Dun-dun! A Law & Order spinoff set in Toronto will premiere spring 2024

[Doug Eastick]

from wikipedia, and I heard a similar story from Ian Thomas (Dave's
brother) in a podcast interview.

The sketch's signature "Coo loo coo coo, coo coo coo coo" theme, according
to Dave Thomas in an interview on CBC News: The Hour, is an exaggeration of
the flute music used in 60-second Canadian television nature vignettes,
such as Hinterland Who's Who.[8]

Here's a typical Hinterland clip.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Tucker's Gone At FNC

[Doug Eastick]

the parallels between real life Fox News and the storyline of Succession
the past few weeks is remarkable.   Some tweets by funny randos online are
referring to Mattson making changes before he even formally controls the
network.

[TV orNotTV] NotTV - but streaming - Coachella 2023

[Doug Eastick]

Coachella - YouTube 

Coachella Valley Music Festival (Weekend 1) starts this Friday.
Typically they livestream 3 feeds and kinda-semi-live.   This year, they
are doing all stages on both weekends, and I'm guessing live.

If you are going, let me know cuz I'm going again.

[TV orNotTV] Re: Quickie Review: Shrinking

[Doug Eastick]

we finished Season 1 tonight.   I really like the show and I laughed many 
times each episode.I always love the characters that Christa Miller 
plays.

I highly recommend this "comedy about grief" as the writers said.

I'm curious on a take from PGage on the series.   Everyone I know that 
works in a hospital always says "It's not like on Grey's Anatomy" (or E.R. 
or Chicago Hope, or whatever).

[TV orNotTV] New long-doc coming... TRIPPING Train 185

[Doug Eastick]

https://www.trippingtheniagara.com/

Looks like the Niagara website has been updated to show trailers for the
new movie.

If you like trains, you might like this.

The movie is relevant to me because the train, "the bud car," starts in my
city and heads north-ish towards the smaller communities.  I've never taken
it, but I've heard several people use it for canoe trips or access mining
sites.

[TV orNotTV] Mini review: Miami Vice

[Doug Eastick]

I watched the first three episodes of season one the past couple weeks of
travel.

Still great cinematography for the era.

Still great music included.

Misogynistic office roles in the police station (crocket: " can you get me
a coffee, sweetie" )

Tv lighting was still pronounced. My how that changed over the next few
decades.

Woke role of a cross dressing killer.

Spoiler: Modern Family father kills himself.


Wikipedia tells me that in the first few seasons , they never allowed
"earth tones" (Brown, beige) on the screen.  Always blue, grey, black,
white.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Corden's farewell to include Tom Cruise

[Doug Eastick]

I still think the best phase of Corden was the pandemic in-studio when he
had to deal with his staff as the audience.   But maybe that's just me
because I liked The Garry Shandling Show and the 4th wall being broken.

That and the VP Late Night, West Coast.

[TV orNotTV] NotTV: ChatGPT

[Doug Eastick]

I've been playing with ChatGPT.  My most recent queries have been asking
for song lyrics about, say, picking up dog poop, in the style of Kanye.

Tonights gem for this list is "write a TV theme chords music with lyrics
about Kevin that gets shipwrecked on an island". I leave it to someone with
a music background to interpret the notes. This was my first request were
the bot actually returned notes.

Verse 1: [C] Kevin set [F] sail one [G] day [C] On a [F] ship that [G]
danced and swayed [C] But the [F] storm grew [G] fierce and strong [C] And
[F] soon the [G] ship was gone Chorus: [C] Kevin, Kevin, [F] all alone [G]
Shipwrecked on an [C] island unknown [C] With nothing but [F] sand and sea
[G] Kevin, Kevin, [C] how will you be? Verse 2: [C] The sun beats [F] down,
the [G] nights grow cold [C] Kevin [F] wonders if [G] he'll grow old [C]
But he's [F] strong, he's [G] got to survive [C] And [F] keep that [G] hope
alive Chorus: [C] Kevin, Kevin, [F] all alone [G] Shipwrecked on an [C]
island unknown [C] With nothing but [F] sand and sea [G] Kevin, Kevin, [C]
how will you be? Bridge: [F] Days turn into [G] weeks, and weeks turn into
[C] years [F] Kevin's [G] mind fills with doubts and [Am] fears [F] But he
[G] knows he's got to stay [C] strong [F] He's got [G] to hold on, [C] hold
on Chorus: [C] Kevin, Kevin, [F] all alone [G] Shipwrecked on an [C] island
unknown [C] With nothing but [F] sand and sea [G] Kevin, Kevin, [C] how
will you be? Outro: [C] Kevin's [F] story [G] echoes on [C] A [F] tale of
[G] survival, a song [C] Of [F] hope and [G] perseverance, you see [C]
Kevin, Kevin, [F] forever free.
