WandaVision gets a lot less boring as it goes. Clever show.

Where do you watch 100 foot wave? I've seen some documentaries about Mavericks and other extreme surfing locations.

May give Mythic Quest a go, that looked like a kids show. Not sure how Mandalorian is a kids show. Loved it.

I watched three episodes. When will it get good? Marvel is for soy boys anyways.

I am not a musical fan, it’s a wifey show. I put up with it. Maybe a chuckle or two an episode. I doubt we finish it honestly, she’s not all that enthused with it.

Pretty much right where you are at. I’m no fanboy but it’s worth seeing through Zoo.

UFO on Showtime

You quit right before the story started to unfold. But if you don't like Marvel, it is what it is. Elizabeth Olson remains easy on the eyes at least.

The Cabin with Bert Kreischer - Netflix

Over the last few months, I've "discovered" Tom Segura and really enjoy his standup and now lately his podcasts, one with his wife and one with Bert Kreischer.

I haven't seen much of Kreischer's stand up, but tried this show last night. It's a pretty funny concept: after a life of fast-living, Kreischer leaves his wife and kids for time in a cabin to recenter and find balance in his life. Instead, each episode, he invites different comedians to talk about life and partake is various therapy treatments.

While the concept of the show is mostly fictional, some interesting conversations with the comedians.

It's just one season and five episodes long, so after two episodes last night, I'll finish it through.

I listen to standups in the background to fall asleep and have had Bert's playing this week. If you like Tom Segura's I suspect you'll like his standups too

I should probably try to just listen to Bert. I cannot stand watching him shirtless. To date, I haven't found him particularly funny, but audio w/o video might allow the material to stand up for itself. Segura is on the cusp of owning the deadpan niche.

I've been watching the Dick Cavett Show nightly at 9:00 on the Decades channel, a station I never knew I had.

These shows are like time capsules and the variety of guests and where the conversations go is almost always riveting. In the past week alone, Maximilian Schell, Sally Field, Duke Ellington, Dr. Jack Oliver (seismologist who discovered plate tectonics), Mohammed Ali, Jeanne Moreau, Attorney General Richard Kleindienst, Sly Stone.

Those Cavett interviews are amazing. It's enjoyable to watch an interview where the objective isn't promoting whatever the guest was working on. The interview are slow at times...but i enjoy the pace.

I love that the guests almost always stay on when the other ones come out, so by the end you frequently have some very interesting tangents. Watching Maximilian Schell essentially take over the interviewer's role with Sally Field (once she mentioned wanting to a nude scene in her next project) was fascinating.

Ali was on the night before he was fighting Floyd Patterson, and two nights after the then-reigning heavyweight champ Joe Frazier had been on. Apparently Cavett had egged on Frazier to talk some smack about Ali, so Ali was in classic form to give it back--and he did. It was great.

 

[8893]

Janis Joplin is the first guest on Cavett tonight, 7/18/69, a little more than a year before her death.

Another one that is breathtaking at times. She was the real deal.

Cavett has not been great in this one so far, but he doesn’t need to be because she is so genuine.

Finally started Ted Lasso last night after being glued to local weather for most the weekend. Rare show that my wife, oldest daughter and I all enjoy watching together. Watched the first four episodes immediately. I suspect we'll finish it in a couple days or less. Agree with all the raves here. Really well written and well cast. And he is hysterical.

You and other fans may or may not be aware of this. From 2013.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Does anyone else find Downton Abbey ridiculous? I made it halfway through season 2 and quit, and a friend suggested I give it another chance. It still seems ridiculous. Am I wrong on this?

Is this Young and the Restless with British accents, or is it just me?

That is exactly why I refused to believe the initial hype. That campaign was such a dog they pulled it early.

Just finished season 3 of Car Masters. A must for any car enthusiast.

I enjoy Ted Lasso. It's a much needed feel good show with all the crap going on.

You don't have to tell me. The converts are always the biggest believers.

 

[8893]

Ok, we are caught up on Lasso, oldest daughter is moved out of the house again, which means only Mrs. 8893 and me, and our youngest daughter, who is 15 and doesn't watch TV, much less anything with us.

We need a new (to us) show to binge to take our minds off the transition. Any recs? The shows we've successfully binged together include The Wire, Queen's Gambit, The Undoing, Mare of Easttown and Ted Lasso.

Anyone start watching "Nine Perfect Strangers" on Hulu yet?

Have you checked out Sharp Objects on HBO?

Have you checked out Sharp Objects on HBO?

Nope. Never heard of it. Will look it up. Thanks.

Looks interesting. Love Amy Adams. I think it could work for us.

I also like that it features Henry Czerny, who is a friend of a good friend who loaned us his house in Santa Monica for a week several years ago. My friend hooked us up with Czerny, who was then starring in the ABC series "Revenge," and Czerny was gracious enough to give us a personal backstage tour and arrange for us to watch a few hours of shooting on the set, which my girls and I really enjoyed.

One of the more enjoyable moments for me was when I walked the wrong way while exiting the men's room, and literally walked right into a robed (and stunning) Madeline Stowe, who was getting changed between scenes.

Check out "Unorthodox" on Netflix. One season, 4 episodes, each less than one hour. Orthodox Jewish woman escapes the oppressive Brooklyn cult, flees to Germany. The cult sends an "operative" after her to bring her back and avoid the embarrassment for her husband and the whole tribe. But.....

Through 3 episodes Nine Perfect Strangers hasn’t been bad. The “Strangers” have all been interesting enough but Kidman’s character and her intrigue is doing nothing for me so far. We’ll see what happens I guess but if the wife loses interest (she def being the target demo), I won’t lose any sleep wondering what becomes of them. Michael Shannon is pretty great in it as one would expect.
