Idiot box thread

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

Brand new show on SyFy:
Resident Alien

It follows a crash-landed alien named Harry who takes on the identity of a small-town Colorado doctor, slowly begins to wrestle with the moral dilemma of his secret mission on Earth.
:laughing-rolling:
Season 2, Episode 2, 9 pm EST tonight. SyFy runs lots of repeats.
Recurring character:
Linda Hamilton as General McCallister, a high-ranking U.S. military officer who secretly works for an unknown organization dedicated to hunting extraterrestrials.
:lol: Brilliant.
Veteran actor Alan Tudyk is a comedy rock star and 80% of the reason we're now in Season Three. He was born for this character :-||

Are you simul-viewing Season Three? If so, Season 3, Episode 2 :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: better even than average for the show.

Ftr, I retract "80% of the reason we're now in Season Three". Writers are also gods.

Binging away
Season 2, episode 5

Harry - after finding out that he has a child,
“Is this how humans feel when they have a child?
Angry and resentful for having to care for a tiny thing?
If she were a pet bird, I would leave the cage door open and the ceiling fan on.”

:thumbup: That episode, like other ones, ended up being really sweet. Somehow, Harry bumbled into being a cool Dad :clap:

Kimmel Destroys Fox/MAGA Hypocrisy Double Header!

Kimmel ended his monologue last night with a one-two punch at right-wing hypocrisy. Begins with a montage of Fox News hosts trashing the economy followed by Fox News anchors reporting on how great the economy is doing. That’s followed by a bit called “Debate and Switch” where his correspondent reads Trump supporters crazy things that Trump said but claims they’re Biden quotes...and then “corrects” herself, and gets their reactions to learning they’re Trump quotes. You may think you know how that will go — and you’d be right — but it’s still something to behold.

This should be cued this up to the right spot (6:53)
Both segments are terrifiying and hilarious. The second is one of the "best" Trumpette interviews pieces I've seen in these long 8 years. Every time I picture these MAGAt idiots facing their friends, family and coworkers I crack up.

He ended with he hopes everyone finds that "one special dog". :crybaby:

After my first dog I thought that true and he could never be replaced.
Now I'm on my third, and they're all "one special dogs".

I think for the first time in 46 seasons, the player I wanted to see dumped first was actually dumped first in the first show.

Ditto, no AppleTV in Vrede Manor.

Speaking of silly, how old is Steve Martin? Here he is on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.

Loved the challenge tonight, but Survivor casting and production have to have a perverted sense of humor to give us the Yanu tribe.
