 The best thing Fox could put on after the Super Bowl was yet another Gordon 
Ramsey show?  It seems this timeslot is not the big deal it used to be.

My non-scientific observations of American football are that games played 
without mistakes (from players or referees) don't get that much attention.  
They also seem very rare.

Plus, I imagine that PBS in general is more conscientious about that kind
of thing, as well as the show being produced in Texas.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: (formerly TV) Jon Batiste drops track from "Marlowe" soundtrack

2023-02-12 Thread 'Dave Sikula' via TVorNotTV
Not to get too far off-topic (from TV), but this is something that 
generally comes up in my world when a Marlowe movie airs on TCM. For me 
(and many), Dick Powell is far and away the best Marlowe, Bogart is too 
much of a tough guy for my tastes (you couldn't slip a sheet of paper 
between his Marlowe and his Spade). Garner should have been perfect, but 
the movie was terrible. Robert Montgomery is okay (though the first-person 
camera in "Lady in the Lake" is too distracting), and George Montgomery is 
a disaster in "The Brasher Doubloon." Mitchum is very good (he's second to 
Powell for me), but is just a tad too tired and dissipated. I never saw the 
Powers Boothe series, so I can't judge that. The least said about Altman's 
travesty, the better.

Personally, I'm -very- much over Brits, Aussies, and the Irish playing 
'muricans with their crappy accents, but casting people will always go 
weak-kneed for actors with "training" (because, obviously, there are no 
actor training programs in the United States).

I generally like Neeson, but don't expect much from him in this one.

To be fair, ACL has a lot more time between recording and broadcast than
the couple hours of a late night show.
