What's old is new again.

I had forgotten that Roy Cohen was also a McCarthy lawyer before he was a mouthpiece for DonOld.

Explains a lot.

Yep.

I'd not forgot it. I also remember he's gay.

Sure explains all the "witch hunt" nonsense trump constantly bleats when he's charged with a crime due to his own actions.

As well as him screaming Commie and SOCIALIST at every opportunity. Cohn didn't understand the words either.

He understood them alright, he just didn't care. As he taught DonOLD, advantage matters far more than truth.

Tony Awards Snubs and Surprises: ‘Death Becomes Her’ Goes One for 10 as ‘Purpose’ Scores Upset Best Play Win

Early in the 2025 Tony Awards, host Cynthia Erivo singled out an “up-and-comer” who landed his first nomination this year: George Clooney.

The Oscar-winning actor-director was going places, Erivo suggested, but just hours later Clooney, who got a number of onstage shout-outs during the awards ceremony that aired live on CBS, left the Tonys without the Broadway play receiving a single award, despite being nominated for five honors, including a best actor in a play nod for Clooney, which he lost to Oh, Mary!‘s Cole Escola....

Surprisingly there are no current awards for writing and director as well as newcomer, only retired awards.

The current focus seems to be acting and production elements.

That's a screw up.

Ice Age America
TV Special, 2023, 1h 24m

IMDb RATING 7.0/10

Led by archaeologist Ciprian Ardlean, this groundbreaking special unearths fresh archaeology that is transforming the understanding of when and who the earliest humans traveled to the Americas.

Gripping mystery novel-like account of revolutionary findings in just the past few years as far south as Brasil and Chile that finally doubled, or more, our estimates of how long humans have been in the Western Hemisphere. Key to this are fossilized footprints found at White Sands, NM and hunting evidence in the Yukon.

Shown on the Science channel. I'm not sure about reruns or streaming.

Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time
TV Mini Series - 5 episodes, 1 hour each on cable.
2025
IMDb RATING 7.5/10

A gripping historical record of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath.

Episode 4 is on right now here, Episode 5 at 9:00 PM EDT.
Episode 3 at 10 PM.
Episode 4 at 11 PM.
Episode 5 at MN.

Excellent, heartbreaking, infuriating.

Shown on the NatGeo channel. I'm not sure about reruns or streaming.

"Brownie" is a fuck-up. Kanye was right - Shrub doesn't care about Black people. One survivor: "The hurricane was a disaster, the aftermath was evil."

Guess who:

Spoiler:

'Newman', 69, looking good after 110 pound weight loss.

Uhhh, pretty sure that's George.

Uhhh, pretty sure that's George.

Yeah, you're correct. I fell victim to mislabeling and thought it was just a coincidence that he looked liked George.

[Vrede too]

Here's Wayne 'Newman' Knight, also after significant weight loss, at Raleigh Durham International airport. Not looking as sharp as 'George', but still pretty good.

Yesterday I was flipping through the channels and came upon an old Beverly Hillbillies espisode. It has Soupy Sales in it as the nephew of Mr Drysdale's wife, just out of the Air Force after ten years. But he's still a 2nd lieutenant. It made me laugh because it made me think of supplicant....ten years or more as a shave tail.

Ut oh, I may be hooked on another goofy one. I’m on Episode 4, Season 1. Season Three is coming out weekly.

Anyone else watching Resident Alien?

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

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