Idiot box thread

Agree to disagree, but you're more of a fan of the real Manningcast than I am, so maybe there was more in it for you to relate to.

Thought they nailed the essence of Manningcast which was kinda the thrust of the open, but the talking heads are on your side.

Ouch. I thought Sarah Sherman had the funniest part, and she didn't even have a line.

Bummed that Alex Moffit left also.

I liked him.

Who plays Eric?

Is Eric in it? Got a timestamp?

(Who played Eli?)

Andrew Dismukes.

... He has been a writer on Saturday Night Live since 2017 a featured player since 2020, beginning with its 46th season, and a repertory player since its 48th (current) season.

Naw, I meant Eric in the future.

Icons Unearthed: The Simpsons

At least a 4-episode documentary on the creation of the long-running show. Well made, interesting to me. Episode 3 10/19 on VICE-TV, and they've been showing lots reruns of Episodes 1 & 2.

On right now:

The Graham Norton Show
Season 30, Episode 5 • New
11:00 PM EDT ON BBCA • CC

Together on Graham’s sofa tonight: rock legend and U2 frontman Bono, who has written frankly about his remarkable life in Surrender; pop superstar Taylor Swift, promoting her new album Midnights; Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne, starring in true crime thriller The Good Nurse; and BBC presenter and former Lioness Alex Scott, whose sporting memoir is How (Not) To Be Strong. With music from Lady Blackbird, who performs her new single Feel It Comin'.

Best talk show on TV.

I think this version of the blocked video above may last:

It's back! Sorta?

Criminal Minds

I suspect that it's not really back on CBS and that tonight was just a 1-off lure for Paramount+ . Good episode, though.

Freddie Mercury: The Final Act

The story of the extraordinary final chapter of Freddie Mercury's life and how, after his death, Queen staged one of the biggest concerts in history, to celebrate his life and challenge the prejudices around HIV/AIDS.

<sniff> Brilliant.

Ghosts

A young couple, whose dreams come true when they inherit a beautiful country house, only to find it's both falling apart and inhabited by many of the deceased previous residents.

Kinda cute, but maybe the premise will get old. I'll give it another try or two.

Worked well for "Beetle Juice."
It'll be on here in an hour. We'll try it.

I'm still into it. It's staying fresh and clever for me.

Growing on me.

Merry Ghostmas. 2023 is the year of the Cubs, count on it.

I think it keeps on getting better. One of our favourite shows.

Rose McIver did a great Thor impression, as did Utkarsh Ambudkar doing Hetty last week.

Gotta be hard for a New Zealander who does her whole act in an American accent to twist her American into being another character at the same time.

Don't look at the spoiler above, but the double episode had nothing to do with the Cubs. That's just my Ghostmas present to you.

Surprising to me. Took me awhile to get that it wasn't part of the bit.
