 Last year Mr. Lehrer released all of his songs into the public domain, so he 
certainly won't object if someone creates a remix or something to properly 
savage the jackass.

[TV orNotTV] Final season for The Grand Tour

[Kevin M.]

They’ve been averaging less than one episode per year since Covid, and I
suspect this last “season” will also consist of a single episode.

I’m still annoyed that Hammond’s series about his garage is thus far
legally unavailable in the US.

[TV orNotTV] 'Only Murders' on ABC in Jan.

[Mark Jeffries]

As the regular scripted lineup returns to the Alphabet in February, ABC 
will be airing the first season of sister streamer Hulu's "Only Murders in 
the Building" from Disney's 20th in two-hour blocks of three episodes with 
either bleeping or ADR work to cover language in January on Tuesdays, with 
"Celebrity Jeopardy!" as a lead-in:

Re: [TV orNotTV] BBC Late Night News Show Wounded

[Mark Jeffries]

Here in the States, as I referred to the other day, David Muir at 6:30 p.m.
with "World News Tonight" is promoed by ABC as the most-watched program on
American television, not counting the NFL. And in Australia, I've seen that
the 5 to 7:30 p.m. time slots in Australia consistently pull bigger numbers
than the rest of prime time (once again, not counting some live sports).
This is only the six biggest cities, however. The only dinner hour national
news is on the pubcaster SBS at 6:30. The newscasts at 5 on Network 10
(although only truly local in Melbourne and Sydney, due to cutbacks by
Paramount the other big cities have news shops, but the anchors are in
either Melbourne or Sydney) and at 6 on Seven and Nine are local. Ten's
news is followed at 6:30 p.m. by the "View/Daily Show" cross "The Project"
(the "Neighbours" reboot is on flanker channel 10 Peach, as it was when it
ended the first time) and Nine is followed at 7 p.m. by the long-running
tab "A Current Affair" (licensed by Fox in the U.S. for their version back
in the 90s). The pubcaster ABC does their news at 7 p.m.

As for the rest of that time period, at 5 p.m. on Seven and Nine are game
shows (on Seven, a local version of "The Chase," on Nine, a reboot of "Who
Wants to Be a Millionaire" called "Millionaire Hot Seat," but it will be
replaced in the new year by an Australian version of "Jeopardy!" shot in
the UK and hosted by Stephen Fry, who is also doing the new UK
version--this would mean that SBS will have to move to another time slot
the U.S.version, which in their listings it's said "hosted by the late Alex
Trebek") and "Home and Away" at 7 p.m. on Seven (it's currently on a
holiday hiatus). The ABC leads into their news with a current affairs show
called "The Drum" and SBS leads into their news with U.S. "Jeopardy!",
"Letters and Numbers" (i.e. "Countdown") and "Mastermind Australia."

[TV orNotTV] Quick Review: American Symphony

[Tom Wolper]

New on Netflix, American Symphony is a documentary about Jon Batiste as he
goes through the process of composing and rehearsing his work American
Symphony while dealing with the illness of his wife Suleika Jaoud.

I couldn’t make it through the movie which is rare for me. I really like
Batiste as an artist and he does a great job of describing his work in
interviews like on Fresh Air. He and Suleika gave the filmmakers open
access to their lives even at very difficult moments. But the finished film
feels like a slog. There’s no sense of discovery or insight about Batiste’s
creative process and nothing to inject energy into the story.

I think it's more "BBC News at..." and then a time. There's a bulletin at
1pm, 6pm (with 30 mins of local news at 6.30pm) and 10pm on BBC One. But
yes that means that nightly at 10pm (or 10.15pm if ITV1, they're stretching
one of their biggest reality shows out) you have "BBC News at Ten" up
against "ITV News at Ten."

There was a period of time when ITV started shunting around their nightly
news broadcast, gaining the pejorative "News at When?", and the BBC shifted
its Nine O'Clock News to 10.00pm. That opened up 9.00pm to drama shows that
could include "after the watershed" content.

Interesting point is that the cumulative biggest rated show on British TV
most days is the combined ratings of all the BBC Local news bulletins at
6:30pm. They outperform all the soaps, most major dramas and all but the
biggest reality shows.
