My DVR was set to record new episodes of "Whose Line," but when the current run of episodes started in November, I noticed it wasn't working anymore. I soon discovered that was because CW had changed its affiliation from WPSG to WPHL, and my DVR was set to record only from the old station. On

I watched a bit of the awards show during commercial breaks during the game and I was pleased with what I saw. The show seemed less bombastic than in previous years and nobody was pretending that TV, or the awards, were more important than what they are. On Tue, Jan 16, 2024 at 11:52 AM PGage

Correct, WPHL is owned by Nexstar, so it was natural that the affiliation would move over there. > On Jan 16, 2024, at 9:17 AM, M-D November wrote: > > With the end of the Arrowverse, I think the only thing left that I watch > regularly on The CW is "Whose Line...?", but even that'll be

With the end of the Arrowverse, I think the only thing left that I watch regularly on The CW is "Whose Line...?", but even that'll be going away soon. And come to think of it, I'm not even sure where the CW affiliation went in Philly - I know that with the split from CBS, WPSG/57 is back to

The Emmy winner list seemed like a duplication of TV part of GG a week ago, which was kind of wierd. Awards voters love The Bear (as do I), but maybe spread it around a bit? Oddly, I read the GG was for Season 2 and Emmys for S1. They also love White Lotus and Succession, which I do not, but

David Smith decided to personally acquire Baltimore Sun Media, which also includes regional small papers and magazines in the region, in the interest of preserving local news... intriguing given his company's penchant to centralize operations, am I right?

At least his accent is passable. Some of them make me convinced the British still hold a grudge against Dick Van Dyke for his accent in Mary Poppins. I like that for Spade’s wardrobe, they seem to have taken a cue from what Bogart wore in his later years. Makes sense, considering he wore his own

As always, I question yet another British actor playing yet another American for no good reason, but there was enough here to bring me back. On the other hand, I found so much to dislike in the reincarnation of "True Detective" that I won't be back. Too many unpleasant characters, amateurish
