Idiot box thread

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

Peyton knows what Peyton likes. I've never watched, but anything starring Lily Collins is a sure winner . . . maybe.

So, of course I had to check out Emily in Paris, if it's good enough for Peyton......

Cute, cheesy and there is definitely some food porn as well as lots of glam Paris which I'm a sucker for.

This is fun:
That's My Jam

That's My Jam is an American music game show. Hosted by Jimmy Fallon, the series is based on the music-themed segments of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. It premiered on NBC with a preview episode on November 29, 2021, ahead of its timeslot premiere on January 3, 2022.
The competitors are different each week. Kate Hudson and Brent Morin can really sing! Who knew? Oliver Hudson and Jordana Brewster not so much, but they tried.

So?


I've watched a few episodes of Black Market on VICE (streaming at the link). Excellent. I did not realize that presenter and actor Michael K. Williams ODed and died in Sept.

The guy (a former cop) who killed a guy in a FL movie theater for tossing a bag of popcorn at him is on CourtTV now. It's just on jury selection now, but this one looks to be a doozy. I plan to catch some of it when it gets down to it.

Wasn't that shooting over 10 years ago?

I thought it was a long time ago. I had no idea.

Jury selection for Curtis Reeves trial begins Monday after 8 years
Reeves is charged with shooting and killing Chad Oulson inside a West Chapel movie theater.

The defendant is a former high rank cop and was likely just getting continuances hoping he'd die before the case came to trial. Everybody loves continuances......lawyers, defendants, judges, most everybody except the parties who should actually matter. And the money is good.

Law & Order 2022. Strong continuity with the 12 years defunct original. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. The premier is taken from the Bill Cosby rapes. Interesting choice, and it makes the case for someone to kill him. :o

Piece of shit needs to die in prison and no country club, in the same type of prison that he has caused so many others to be locked up in.
