Just saw this as well. I loved WKRP and watched it from day 1. I believe it’s the “Turkeys Away” episode where Mr. Carlson comes into the DJ booth and is nosing around, thinking that Johnny is asleep. You can see Johnny’s eyes behind the sunglasses as the “Big Guy” is reaching for something and he says “Don’t touch that!”. :lol: Great stuff.

The newest episode of Dirty Jobs features escalator cleaning and of all places they picked Mariucci Arena.

Wondering if that was due to the ability to have it not used during the day…as appears to MOA.

I am guessing the location is chosen by the company they are “working for.”

If they want to perform maintenance on an escalator that is not in use they could always find one at MSP airport. :lol: Those things never seem to be running.

Has anyone watched enough of Reacher on Hulu yet and recommend it?

Isn’t it on Prime? I have not yet but looking forward to it, love the books and this Reacher seems…..um…..less midgety. :lol:

You’re right it is on Prime.

Reacher’s fun as long as you don’t pay attention to details.

spoiler, but the idea that solving the case hinges on someone knowing how to correctly use an apostrophe confirms it was written before the internet.

Is the character of Jack Reacher as stiff and robotic in the books as this Ritchson guy portrays? I mean I get he’s a no-nonsense guy and I read up on the character a bit including commentary from Child, but I didn’t get the impression Reacher was a complete stiff.

Yes and no. The book that this season was based on was the first Reacher book (3rd or 4th chronologically now, IIRC). But yes he is rather stiff in the books. Lots of quips and short on interpersonal skills.

I’d say he is playing Reacher close my expectations. Grew up in a marine house and on bases, went to West Point, and spent his career/life on the military. Seems spot on so far to me.

I’d also add the books are written in a very clipped format, seems like a lot more periods than commas.

He’s every :censored: where!

The Original Hot Lips has passed away

History Channel mini series on Abe Lincoln was pretty good.

I thought it was very good!

History Channel mini series on Abe Lincoln was pretty good.

Did it cover his years as a vampire hunter? :lol:

I didn’t know about that part of his life until I saw the movie, he truly is an American hero

Did you see [mention]The Rube[/mention] that Mayans MC premieres on April 19th? :dance:

Has anyone watched Severance on Apple TV? I gave it a shot sight unseen because I like Adam Scott, and man it’s good so far. Gives me Mr. Robot vibes.

They are 4 episodes into the first season. New episodes every Friday

I really enjoyed Ep 1. I’m waiting to go further and I’ve heard from friends it gets better.

E2 of Severance sure ramped up things interest wise! Looking forward to more.

Thinking of trying out The Thing About Pam, a drama based upon true events around a murder of a woman and the possible wrongful conviction of her husband.

Resident Alien S2 has been really good. I recommend to anyone to try S1. The lead actor portraying the protagonist is particularly fun to watch.

Finally Undercover S3 on Netflix has actually been the best season so far. While the series does require a small suspension of disbelief throughout, S3 imho has brought upon less of that and the writers have found their stride. It feels less clunky and more natural. Recommend!

Also the trailer for Obi-Wan is drool worthy.

That Dirty Black Bag. I guess you’d call this series a spaghetti western as it seemingly takes place in old West but all the actors from what I can tell are European. Not sure where it’s filmed. That said E1 was compelling enough I will give E2 at least a try.

Scott Hall, aka Razor Ramon and WWE Hall of Famer, dead after multiple heart attacks.

A Perfect World – 2-part documentary about an online gamer that murdered his family and the gaming community that tried tons top him.

Just watched Ep1 of From – a horror fiction series about residents in a small-town forced to hide in their homes at night and never leave. Quite ominous and foreboding. Hope the great start is maintained.

Scott Hall, aka Razor Ramon and WWE Hall of Famer, dead after multiple heart attacks.

RIP Razor Ramon.

Considering his addiction to the bottle during his career, along with the career choice itself…led a pretty long life. If I read correctly, the heart attacks were from complications for a hip surgery…

Correct. I believe he developed a blood clot after his hip surgery and the clot is what they are saying caused the heart attacks.

This one hit hard for me. Scott Hall and the NWO was getting huge right as I started getting into pro wrestling (7-8 years old). He has always been one of my favorites because of that (the Razor Ramon persona was before my time).

I remember Scott Hall from his first days in wrestling in the AWA, teamed with Curt Hennig and tag-team champions. He became a great worker in the ring and with the mic as well. The whole WCW-NWO angle was sheer genius.

Seems silly that just because The Inhumans bombed that means she can’t be an Inhuman like she is in the comics. But, it doesn’t matter at this point. Once they did right by The Avengers they have license to do whatever they want now. Especially considering the Multiverse has been opened and any timeline, any world can have their own version of anyone.

Severance Episode 8 was just bonkers!

Kudos to Ben Stiller for his part in this series, but also massive credit goes to those in charge of casting, set design, music, writing and cinematography. It’s been an absolute masterclass in constructing suspense, the main plot and subplots, character reveals, and drawing the viewer in and feeling vested in what happens next. Highly, highly recommend.

WrestleMania is on Peacock

Jerrod Carmichael with a great opening monologue on SNL

I knew going in that Season 4 of Killing Eve would be a “no one gets out alive” type final season but the last episode sucked anyway.

I’m looking forward to starting Ken Burns’ Benjamin Franklin.

The Invisible Pilot on HBO looks very intriguing.

I’m looking forward to starting Ken Burns’ Benjamin Franklin.

I recorded that last night not knowing it was a Burns’ project. Now I’m doubly excited to watch it today.

This was fascinating, so many facts about the Rwvokutionary War that you “kinda” knew, like that we wouldn’t have won our independence without France’s massive help but it almost bankrupted their country in the process. The war estranging him from his son was interesting. I also didn’t know that at the time of the Declaration of Inpendence Franklin was 66 and Thomas Jefferson was 32. The Continental Congress hashing out the Constitution in 1787 and all the crazy options they considered: Alexander Hamilton wanted a President who was elected for life (yikes!) and Franklin wanted a three person committee to head the executive branch. Also found it amusing that at the time they were working out the Constitution in Philly Franklin had debilitating gout and kidney stones so bad he had to be carried to Independence Hall every day and take opium tinctures.

I’ve read up on Franklin previously but that was about 25 years ago, and like you there were plenty of stories (including most of the ones you listed) that were new to me. I forgot or did not realize how much he was revered globally and basically a rock star of his era.

He was about 30 years older than most of the other Founding Fathers and they didn’t really know him. They thought he was kinda odd but respected him cause he was the most famous American in the world. When he went to France he was a celebrity and they sold pictures of him everywhere. One of the French royalty resented it and put one of the pictures of him in the bottom of his chamber pot. I also didn’t realize he spent all of the Revolutionary War in France working them for funding and shipping supplies over to fight the war. They said he was the second most important person in the Revoltuionary War (Washington) and he was in France the whole time.

I subscribed to the PBS Documentaries channel on Prime to watch the Country Music one. There are a lot of other good ones on there, but most are older and watch more like a high school movie from the 90s when I watched them. Been waiting for some new things to come out so glad to hear about this one, I will add it to my list. I had a collection of Who’s Who books when I was a kid and Ben Franklin was one of those books. I did a report on him in middle school too, using my mom’s set of encyclopedias!

We finally caught up on Ozark in preparation for the last few episodes coming at the end of April. I have no clue really what to expect at this point

My guess is everyone dies except for Jonah, he gets his own spin-off series where he uses a lawn care service as a cover and the show is called Mowzark.
