Since Tim is no longer with us, Perhaps Biden could fill in.

Or maybe he is already auditioning for the job?

I thought he was more of a Don Rickles wannabe.

That is an insult to the creative genius of Tim Conway,one of the greatest comedic actors of all time.

I did not mean it that way.

I agree Tim was a comedic genius, as he had to act that way.

Joe comes about acting stupid naturally, which takes no smarts.

You may be right, now that I think about it.

Don was a wisecracker deluxe,  Joe is sloppy on his deliveries.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Joined CBS all access so I could watch Star Trek Picard, which is very disappointing to my opinion.
Since I'm already on CBS, I checked out Star Trek Discovery. Very impressive.
Watched the first two seasons and loved it. The episodes were predictable to me. I kind of saw where it was going.
But I didn't care. Still enjoyed it, very much. Discovery is 10X better than Picard in my opinion.
Next episodes of Expanse are scheduled for the end of this year, October/November.
Next episodes of Discovery are scheduled for "early 2020". Which means any week now.

Just finished watching (or not watching) the latest Picard episode.
All through it I keep losing focus and drifting off. So boring. Have to rewind to see what I missed.
It is like the way Police describe their job.
Hours of total boredom punctuated by things happening so fast you can't keep up.
If you are in the mood for a slow, plodding TNG reunion, with violins and cello music, then
Picard is the show for you.
I am on Episode 7 and the only thing that has happened so far is that Picard has escaped with his quest and the Romulans are chasing him. That's it. That's all. Seven hours to get to this point which is very similar to the First Episode. Except now they are in space with a different but same android.
Glad I'm getting it for free, would not pay money for this.
I know some people like it and that it will get better (I hope). This is just my opinion so far.

How do you get it for free?

I signed up for CBS All Access with ROKU.
But there was a problem and it wasn't working right.
I cancelled ROKU - All Access and signed up directly with CBS All Access on their website.
Then, I still had Picard on my ROKU menu so I clicked on it and it worked.
So I thought I was back with ROKU and no longer with CBS directly.
I called CBS All Access and cancelled the service thinking I'm back on ROKU.
Then it was free. I can only assume that ROKU thinks I am paying CBS.
CBS thinks I am paying ROKU. But neither one of them is charging me.

"How do you get it for free?"
The short answer is, 'I don't know?'

CBS All Access finally kicked me out. LOL!
Apparently they caught on to the fact that I wasn't paying anyone. Likely my monthly charge came around and bounced. And that's fine. Picard is not worth paying for IMO, and I finished Discovery completely. So, C'est la vie.

I decided to purchase “Avenue 5” yesterday from iTunes. Staying at home is kinda getting boring.

So I’m watching it. Shades of old “Red Dwarf” but, it had promise. Just kinda fell a little off the mark. Hope season two will be better. My score B-

I finished out the Picard series, just out of random curiosity. I knew it was bad at episode 3 but kept watching anyway thinking that it would get better. It didn't. In fact it got worse.

They drug in Jeri Ryan (7of9) which is cool. I've always had the hots for her. But in Picard she is no longer sleek and intelligent. Her character is a crackwhore apocolyptic lesbian. This totally turned me off.

You can watch it yourself as I did for curiosity. But don't expect much. It is kind of a Patrick Stewart's last opus. And episode 10 is a full on philosophy lesson about the nature of man and the point of existence. I should get college credit for episode 10. It wasn't a show, it was a college level philosophy dissertation.

Discovery on the other hand, has me completely hooked. Picard, as far as I can tell, is done, over, finished. But my goodness, I really hope they keep making Discovery episodes. I love the show.

Trekkie, but I outright refuse to "pay" for network TV.  Guess I'll see it when it makes its way to Netflix

It will. Picard is a straight to free kind of show. It is bound for obscurity.
I think you can get CBS-All Access free for a week or a month.
If you want to do this, check out Star Trek Discovery.
I promise, you will love it. You should be able to finish the whole thing in a week of binge watching.

I'd heard that Patrick Stewart went all out SJW on steroids in  this outting.  Proabably piss me off, more than enjoy it.

Forget about Picard. It is a dead fish. I had to 'force' myself to watch it. It is bad.
But you really are missing out if you haven't seen Discovery. It is the most Trekkie of Trek series in modern times.
