[TV orNotTV] Re: Young Sheldon: The Final Season
Haven't watched even one minute of this one, but I always wondered what they would do once the kid aged out of the role (hasn't his voice already changed?), Guess this answers the question. --Dave Sikua On Tuesday, November 14, 2023 at 5:09:00 PM UTC-8 Bob Jersey wrote: > S7 begins Feb 15th, and concludes with a full hour May 16th... > > https://deadline.com/2023/11/young-sheldon-end-season-7-cbs-canceled-series-finale-date-1235612167/ > (link) > (See a separate post for all of CBS' post-strike premieres) > B > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

[TV orNotTV] Re: SNL’s Baldwin Choice
As an artistic choice, it was honestly no worse than the rest of the evening. I, too, am at the age where any number of the references might as well be in Icelandic for all the sense they make to me. I mean, I had no idea if the guy in the waking dream was an actual person or not (apparently, he is). At this point, I don't think even a court case will be able to sort out what actually happened on the Rust set. Having Baldwin (who hasn't been convicted of anything) on the show was probably like having OJ on in the Ohlmeyer days. But let's remember that Lorne was also the guy who thought having TFG on was a good idea. Michaels's artistic sensibilities have been polluting American culture for almost fifty years now, and we'll all be much better off when he's gone. --Dave Sikula On Tuesday, November 14, 2023 at 5:41:54 PM UTC-8 PGage wrote: > I noticed this morning that there had been a new SNL last weekend, which I > hadn’t seen, so decided to watch it.
