how television rules my life
2024-04-08 02:41
Some of the network tv is finishing up. Resident Alien (Syfy) has held up well, Extended Family (NBC) made a decent pairing with Night Court, and Wild Cards (CW) was a fun compliment to… Read More
2024-03-24 20:36
I was so busy catching up on movies I had to limit my tv shows for a bit. Happy to now turn back to a few things I was wrapping up. Starting with Feud: Capote vs The Swans (FX/Hulu) whic… Read More
2024-03-22 17:18

Moving through my Peacock subscription (acquired temporarily for Holdovers and Oppenheimer) I finished Mrs. Davis which was very odd and I appreciate the big swing. I also caught the fir… Read More

You may remember that I like to do a spa day each year for my birthday. Occasionally I make a weekend out of it and go somewhere local, typically somewhere in the wine country. Being so… Read More
2024-02-25 23:44
I finally kicked out my top tv of 2023 last week. One of the things that was holding me up was that I was trying to finish Succession(HBO) because it was on so many people’s lists… Read More

I was honestly thankful for the strike to give me a little breathing room (very sad for the strife of workers and glad they came to a resolution). Standard caveats apply, I haven’t… Read More
2024-02-10 01:34
I watched a couple of the Feud (Fx/Hulu) and while it’s not great there is something appealing about the inside look at society. I cranked through the latest season of Queer Eye (N… Read More
2024-02-05 23:37
I usually read at least a book a month with book club (*picks) so my goal with books is always to read more than what I’m reading there. This year I also started doing more targete… Read More
2024-01-27 02:11
Finished up Party Down before I canceled my Starz subscription, and I thought they did a good job picking up years later with the characters. I also rewatched the earlier seasons which h… Read More
2024-01-13 23:14
I caught the good Minx on my temporary Showtime subscription, pity it was canceled. I have also been rewatching the old Party Down before getting to the current season. I didn’t re… Read More
2023-12-31 00:59
I’ve been doing some dabbling in shows that were on ‘best’ lists and a few I tried and am not going to do for one reason or another: Cunk on Earth (Net), The Curse (Sho… Read More
2023-12-18 00:55
Things are mostly quieting down for the holidays. Though of course holiday specials aplenty. I’m glad because as the end-of-year best-of tv lists come out I’m doing some cram… Read More

2023-11-07 03:04
After my Covid/back injury tv intensive things have slowed down a bit for me. I did do Station 11 on Max which was good, though you know never as good as the book. The big news is a have… Read More

Well, I guess we’re not totally getting a fall season this year. But there have been a few network shows that I’ve sampled. The Irrational has likable Jesse L. Martin who is… Read More
2023-09-22 23:05
Turns out that when you get Covid if you focus properly you can catch up on a lot of tv. I did start too feverish, etc. to watch anything new. I still have cable (a discussion for anothe… Read More
2023-09-10 22:05
Did everyone finish Justified? I need everyone to watch so we get another. I also enjoyed the ‘reality’ show Jury Duty which brought sweetness to what could have been a terri… Read More
2023-08-29 02:37
So I finished the really dumb but still watchable And Just Like That… though it could easily tip into unwatchable with more dumbness. I also stuck with Canadian import Moonshine w… Read More
2023-08-12 21:11
I finished off the odd but super fun Search Party which I had started ages ago when it was on TBS. Glad Max saved it to go on its full run. I also went ahead and dove into Only Murders i… Read More
2023-07-30 22:23
I did finish my Justified rewatch right before Justified: City Primeval started and have to say the first series is still a hoot and the new series does a pretty good job of picking up t… Read More
2023-07-16 19:00
Not much time for other things with my Justified rewatch but did manage to catch the start of Family Law which is a show I find fun and think Moonshine might be a good light complement… Read More
