@Restored
I can't remember what I pay,but with my ROKU and my Amazon Prime connection,I seriously doubt it's 75 bucks a month. Most of the stuff on the ROKU is free (Literally thousands of channels,but most not worth watching),and I do subscribe to Netflix and Brit Box.

The Vizio WatchFree app has The Bob Ross Channel. I have two Weed plants ready to harvest. I'm thinking a serious couch day is in order.

Note: The State Police sent in a chopper to wander around towns to find Weed plants that weren't in compliance. Apparently, they had great success. I am in compliance.

From MEDICI: The Magnificent

Cosimo is speaking to his brother about the confidence it takes for one to lead People...

After the 'speech', his brother says, "Wasn't it Plato who was put to death for treason?"

Cosimo glances at him...snaps the reins and says, "Socrates!"

Never heard of any of them? Are they cable shows?

Internet exclusives.

Mare of Easttown is HBO/HBO Max. It's a serial crime drama. Kate Winslet is the star.

Ted Lasso is Apple TV+. It's a sitcom/dramedy. The premise is that the title character, a charismatic college football coach, all of a sudden gets roped into a coaching gig in England for a different kind of football.

Hacks is also HBO Max. I hadn't really heard of it, either, but apparently it's meta-comedy: a comedy/drama about comedians.

Being the cheapskate that I am who doesn't buy TV subscriptions, I haven't see any of them, though I've seen a lot of talking-head buzz about Mare (mainly because of Winslet's apparently dead-on Philly accent) and Ted Lasso.

Thanks,I have a HBO sub,so I could probably watch them if there were 48 hours in each day. I barely have the time to watch the shows I already subscribe to now.

The Good/Bad news is I have several favorites,including most of the Walking Deads that die this season,so it will free up some time for new stuff.

DAMMIT!

The Wonder Years starts replaying on Hulu this fall. LOVE THE HELL out of this program,which is about kids growing up in America in the 50's.

This was one of the greatest "Family" tv shows in history. Corny as it sounds,I watched it faithfully because it depicted America as it was for many of us,and as it SHOULD have been for ALL of us.

HIGHLY recommended family entertainment.

Is this a repeat of the original show or is this a new, “improved” version?

[DCPatriot]

Saw a billboard ad meme for "The Rose Tattoo" this morning, starring Burt Lancaster and Anna Magnani.

Vividly recall that our Catholic pastor calling for a 'Condemned' rating. 

I was 9 years old and an altar boy.  Rang the bells, swung the incense... 

The following year, Bridget Bardot appeared in "And God Created Woman"...which DID get a Condemned Rating.  You watch it, you die before confession and you burn in hell for all eternity.

Not being a smart ass, but it was growing up in the late '60's.  It peaked my interest then, becasue Kevin/Winnie appeared to be the exact same age as me.

The new version appears to be a pale POS woke black version of the original.  PASS!!!!

Have to agree, here, @catfish1957

Just another blatant act in 'erasing' the White American male from entertainment/commercials.

Today, the beautiful white woman has a Black husband/partner.  If they don't erase him, he's the moron who's too stupid to tie his own shoes.

Brings back memories. I grew up Catholic with a father who carefully looked at the movie ratings by the Legion of Decency in our Catholic newspaper.
I remember going to a James Bond flick "From Russia With Love" with a friend when I was 13. It had been rated B by the LOD.
When I got home and my father found out I had seen a b-rated movie, he went berserk. Now today a movie like FRWL would hardly draw a glance from the puritanical types. No nudity (some well built cuties, of course... James Bond flick), no foul language, and a certain amount of ungory violence.

Maybe, maybe not. Hollyweird thought that was a great idea until black women pushed back on the idea of "If a black man is successful, he should upgrade to a white woman" and they pushed back really hard.

@debrawiest

AFAIK,it is the original that is being rebroadcast.

I'd like to see Malcolm in the Middle come back,too. Mostly so I can see the metrosexual dad that later became "Heisenberg,the hardcore drug dealer" in Breaking Bad.

Seriolusly? I saw nothing about that in the mention,and since it is being ran on HULU,I assumed it was a replay of the original.

Gee,I wonder why they would get upset over a minor little thing like that?

Well, it sounds like you might be a viewer.  I know better with how Hollywood operates in this era. Let us know how it goes, as I won't be watching.

With my chemo brain,I'll probably forget about it by the time it airs.

Don't waste your time. I just went to HULU and there are advertisements for it there,and it seems like everybody is black.

Kind of like Game Show Hosting nowadays.

Just for S & G's a week or two ago, I decided to enumerate black representation in commericals.  Over 65% in a 3 hour period.  Quite a bit for a demographic that makes up 12% of this country.

[BassWrangler]

I gave in and resubscribed to Netflix. I am watching the Iron Fist series.

[Fishrrman]

Although I've shied away from big Hollywood films for the last 30 years, tonight (and tomorrow) I'll break down and watch the Spielberg film "War Horse", if only because I scrounged up a good HD copy on the net...

I know the man had insane left-wing politics but, he played a darn good superman so, happy 69th birthday to Christopher Reeves! I watched superman 1-4!

For you Amazon Primers, I watched the entire Orphan Black series.  It stayed good through all five seasons.  The star of the show, Tatiana Maslany, did an awesome job playing 7+ different characters.  My favorite was Helena, but then I have a thing for an Eastern European accent.

Star Trek the original series is leaving Netflix on the 30th.

So I’m trying to binge watch it now before it leaves. 


Foundation just dropped on Apple TV.

Sign up for the free week and watch the show. Then cancel. It’s not worth $4.99 a month or $45 for the year. (But you get 3 free months with a purchase of a computer or a phone or iPad)
