Idiot box thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

RIP. At one time I wanted to be a lawyer, largely because of Perry Mason.

Opps, lost the video above. This one should last:

How 'Planet Earth II' captures up-close, mind-blowing animal interactions

The clips are amazing, can't wait to see the show. Airs on BBC America today, but you can also " Watch Now | No login required":

Islands

For some, remote islands offer sanctuary away from the mainland: the tiny pygmy three-toed sloth only survives because of the peace and safety offered by its Caribbean island home, while seabirds like albatross thrive in predator-free isolation.

‘Dancing With the Stars’ 2017: Season 24 celebrity cast and partners revealed on 'GMA’

Not sure there's a clear favorite this year. Simone Biles is great, but doesn't quite have Laurie Hernandez' infectious personality. I'm rooting for Mr. T. I pity the foo' that is competing against him.

Charo, The "Chuchi-Chuchi" girl ... seriously? About as talented as a telephone pole.

Anyone see her on Good Morning America when the contestants were introduced?
Too bad Barnum & Bailey's calling it quits; I'm sure they could have given her a job...

Heather Morris

Career

Morris' s first significant appearance was in 2006 on So You Think You Can Dance Season 2 where she made it through "Vegas Week" without being cut, but failed to make the final 20 by a vote of 3 to 2.

Not discouraged, Morris actively pursued a career in dancing and was trained in jazz dance. Her big break came in 2007 via Beyoncé. Morris was one of Beyoncé's backup dancers on The Beyoncé Experience world tour and,[8] following that, worked again with Beyoncé on a mini "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" promotional tour that included 2008 performances on the American Music Awards, Saturday Night Live, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Today, and MTV's Total Request Live finale. She also danced backup for Beyoncé and Tina Turner at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards in 2008. She later appeared in a small role in the movie Fired Up, where she met choreographer Zach Woodlee. Following that film, Woodlee brought Morris in to dance on other shows he was choreographing, including episodes of Eli Stone and Swingtown, the movie Bedtime Stories, and eventually landed a role as Brittany on Glee....

Dancing with the Stars

On March 1, 2017, Morris was revealed as one of the contestants who would compete on season 24 of Dancing with the Stars. She is paired with professional dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
A hot, 30 year old, former main cast member on a very popular TV show and professional dancer in an amateur dance competition paired with a very successful partner - maybe there is a favorite.

If all else fails, she could run the Department of Energy.

Latest Trump Tweet: Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't voluntarily leaving the Apprentice, he was fired by his bad (pathetic) ratings, not by me. Sad end to great show (Liked by 25517 idiots.)
He can't have been fired, (pathetic) crybaby liar. The show has not been renewed yet and it's uncertain whether it will be.
Arnold Schwarzenegger leaves ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ — and blames Trump for ratings drop

... “With Trump being involved in the show, people have a bad taste and don’t want to participate as a spectator or as a sponsor or in any other way support the show,” Schwarzenegger said in that interview. “It’s a very divisive period now, and I think this show got caught up in all that division.”

Despite NBC’s best efforts to promote the show, “when people found out that Trump was still involved as executive producer and was still receiving money from the show, then half the people [started] boycotting it,” Schwarzenegger told Empire....

The Feb. 13 season finale of “Celebrity Apprentice” attracted 3.45 million live viewers, a steep drop from the 6.1 million who tuned in for Trump’s last season finale on the show in 2015 — but the ratings under Trump were already in a steady decline, down from a peak of about 21 million viewers during the show’s first season in 2004....
So, 71% decline with Trump, 43% decline with Schwarzenegger - at least partly Trump's fault - albeit over a shorter period. Terminator beats Orangutan, duh. Besides, measuring dicks over "reality" show ratings is about as lame as it gets, and it's a stupid and crazy thing for a POTUS to be dwelling on.
