I am a big fan of the movie Friday Night Lights. Finally got around to watching the series. It is real good. The acting, the writing and the way it is shot really got my attention. It can be a bit teen drama at times, but there is enough other stuff to keep you attentive. I love football and this is a bit like a look behind the curtain. I recommend this series.
Yes. The series is awesome. Even better if you watched it when it came out. I would imagine it would age well.

On top of that this song was playing over the credits that rolled at the end of the final show of the series, and it turned me on to The National, who became one of my favorite bands ever...

They're excellent. 2 sets of identical twins plus the singer.

Everything Disney is touching these days turns to shit...except what they acquired from Fox Entertainment. Due to a spat with Hulu, S2 of The Bear will not be available for streaming until July 19.

I may have no choice but to sign up to Disney +.

I just noticed that Prime has It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World in it's rotation.

I know it's not a TV show, but unquestionably it is by far the most all star and all time ensemble of comedians in one presentation.

Lucille Ball, Milton Berle, Jonathan Winters, Ethel Merman, Jimmy Durante, Sid Caesar, Buddy Hackett, Phil Silvers, Buster Keaton, Jerry Lewis, Carl Reiner, Jack Benny, Larry Fine and so many more.

Most of the new episode, (season 2, episode 3), of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds takes place in near-present day Toronto. I recognize several locations, including the alley between Dundas Square and Massey Hall.

When I found out that blue comic Buddy Hackett was in the animated version of The Little Mermaid, I had to watch it. So I bought the DVD for my grandniece. I asked her recently how many times she's seen it, she told me she lost count.


The film came out 16 years before my grandniece was born...yes I'm an old fart.

Good Luck, Mr Gorsky.

According to a Buddy Hackett stand-up routine, on July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on The Moon, after he said "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind", he then said "Good luck, Mr Gorsky.".

When asked about it years later by a former NASA employee at Mission Control Houston, Armstrong said that when he was nine years old, he had been playing baseball, and a home run ball ended up in the Gorsky's backyard. When he went to retrieve the ball, through an open window he heard Mrs Gorsky say "Oral sex? You'll get oral sex when that kid next door walks on The Moon!".

As a young boy and adolescent, my only exposure to Buddy was on TV which obviously had to be kept appropriate.

Then one time my parents came back from Vegas and they told me that they saw Buddy perform and that he was extremely filthy but in a funny way. They were not offended. Now I see what they meant. Up 'til now I'd never seen any stand up clips from Vegas of him. Thanks IV.

I just started watching The Gryphon on Prime and I'm only a couple episodes in but it's been good so far.

It's a German dark fantasy series set in the mid-90's.

Between that, Dark and 1899, Germany has some really solid genre series on streamers.
