What a show!

Show on Paramount + I semi binged out of energy over the holidays and pretty good with a old as dirt Sly stallone called Tulsa King.

Not bad. Breezy entertainment.

Hooked on Tulsa King. The ensemble with Stallone is excellent. Premise is bizarre but action is legit.

I like the guy from Silicon Valley who runs the dispensary and the NA weed producer/distributor guy.

I really enjoyed George & Tammy on SHO. The music was better than the originals & the characters more likable.

Old Schooler Ed Popowski. I remember seeing him do this back in the day. They just don't make them like they used to.

Hadn't seen this episode of Daniel Boone in over 50 years:

time to watch the news ~ from March of 1978:

They sure took a different approach to live tv reporting in dem days. How I miss those prices in the ads and those old NY accents. So sad that we'll see anything like that again.

good casting of Bill Shatner as Archie Goodwin in a "Nero Wolfe" pilot show:







Mr Shatner seems so much like Captain Kirk in "Star Trek" in that he was rather familiar with the cute gals. I thought Kurt Kasznar should have put on some weight so as to look more like the rotund Wolfe.

I did a marathon of 1883, 1923 and Yellowstone over long weekend while trying to bang out some income tax returns due 9/15.

Some better than average ensembles amongst the shows.

The storyline is intriguing although some of the action is really taking liberties at expanding the imagination.

If you like mysteries and police procedurals, PBS has a slew of them. In addition to the obvious ones like Midsomers—Tom much better than John as DCI in my view—there are some other good British shows like “Shetland” and Vera, but the Scottish and northern England accents can be tough to understand. MTV isn’t carrying it now, but “Thou Shalt not Kill,” set in Turin starring a former Miss Italia, is dark and captivating. Check out the Swedish version of “Before We Die” for some Nordic noir. The British version is not as good, but Mark Knopfler’s daughter is a rising star. Some rave over Ben Miller in the British versus of “Professor T.,” but the original, Belgian version is better.
If you liked “Murder in Suburbia,” which started Caroline Katz with a woman looks like my daughter’s Pilates teacher playing her sergeant, you can’t miss my current favorite, “Luna and Sophie,” which features a pair of Potsdam detectives.
I can’t wait for the return of “Seaside Hotel,” which takes place in Jutland before and during WWII. If you notice a preference for subtitles, it’s because I can read much better than I can hear.

Don’t miss “Astrid.” A quirky Paris detective relies on an autistic genius to solve crimes. I gave no idea why MTV took it out of the rotation.

MPT us running the send part of a three part program about Frida Kahlo tonight.

Hullabaloo (1966)





Real high energy presentation from back in the day. Lots of Rock superstars from the era.

Not sure what's funnier. Loudermilk or Brockmeyer. Hilarious.
