OT - NO POLITICS The TV thread - RIP Miss Jean - Boston's Romper Room teacher

[ODAAT]

Today I started a new position at work. I am now a Solution Architect. This is my first promotion in over 15 years but it is also my dream hob and I have been happy the entire time at my current company of almost 8 years. I did learn of the promotion over a month ago but it was official 1/1/2022. Just wanted to share with some of my friends.

hell yeah, great stuff!!!

I started Reacher based on recommendations on this board. The only disappointment was how quickly I binged the series. Friday night was awesome but last night I had to find something new.

 

[McGarnagle]

Not sure if anyone here is into South Park, but last week's episode was the funniest one in years

What are your favorite B&W shows? It makes me very sad that @Gee Wally thinks "Leave it to Beaver" is better than all the ones I really love:

The Twilight Zone
The Outer Limits
Alfred Hitchcock Presents
The Beverly Hillbillies
The Andy Griffith Show - Barney Fife is the best character in tv history.
Mr. Ed - A talking horse.
The Addams Family
My Favorite Martian
The Munsters - Free on Peacock.
My Mother the Car - A guy's mother's soul is in a car.

@Gee Wally - This was classic

F Troop child labor scandal - Melody Patterson aka Wrangler Jane lied about her age to get the part. She had a forged birth certificate saying she was 18, she was really 15!

Been watching several series at the same time. I just keep jumping from one to the other depending on whether I need a break or the availability of new episodes.

Watching S3 of Get Smart. I watch every new episode of 1883 as it becomes available. And am also on S3 of Goliath.

Too many series to finish, too little time.

Takes some good acting skills to pull off that lie, so you could say she earned the part.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Brilliant

 

[Troublesome 85]

Only “new” TV show I watch is Black List all other shows I watch are old

Miami Vice
Boston Legal
The Office
Entourage

Off the top of my head

I watch an absurd amount of Superstore. I’m also on a rewatch of 30 Rock. And I’m on Season 9 of Curb Your Enthusiasm. I think I have denunciation elbow.

So now there is a "darker, less comedic re-imagining" of Fresh Prince of Bel Air coming out on Peacock.

Why does every series from the 80s and 90s need a reboot or some kind of crazy take on the characters? Ugh.

*crawls back into cave to watch original series*

The "here we are now, entertain us" generation. They never learned to use their imaginations to entertain themselves so they can't come up with anything new. They literally can't do it. JMO

That's one hell of a generalization.

I'll be sure to stay off your lawn

This was a great spoof on Friday

 

[ON3M4N]

My wife makes fun of me because I'm all over the place with things I watch outside of sports. If I put them into a category is basically 3 groups

Cartoons (South Park & Family Guy)

Cooking (Guys Grocery Games, Diners Drive-ins & Dives and Tournament of Champions

History/Educational (Mysteries of the Abandoned, Mysteries at the Musem, Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey)

Count me in.

Jon Snow — and Kit Harington — to return in ‘Game of Thrones’ spinoff - The Boston Globe

With this show and “House of the Dragon” in the mix, HBO currently has at least seven “Thrones” spinoffs in the works, three of which are animated.

Watched the whole "Super Store" series. That series finale ending was good. Good series.

Good list, I was born just as B&W was phasing out liked Twilight Zone and Outer Limits. Sci fi guy obviously. Glad Wally mentioned F Troop as well.

 

[LSCII]

The Boys new season is f***ing killer. Check it out if you haven't. Such a great show...

I finally got into Money Heist on Netflix and have been bingeing it. I just made it to season 5.
