The TV thread

The blonde from Cagney & Lacey is cute.

And The Wire also had D'Angelo's baby mama.

 

I working my way through the first season of 'The Wire.'
The gay female cop is very good looking, so is the female prosecutor.
And D's girl from the strip club.

 

I've been with Suits since Day 1, but this season I've grown a bit meh about it.

 

Anyone watching Murder in the First? I was excited by the show because it seems in part a reboot of Murder One (also by Bochco) and has a very good cast. I've been underwhelmed by it so far, but not enough to stop me from sticking around for the final 3 episodes

 

The female reporter in the last season is a handsome woman, as well.

I think she's actually married to D'Angelo in real life.

 

I've stuck with it, mainly because of the cast - the way they weave actors through the story (Steven Weber, Jon Polito, James Cromwell, Paula Marshall...) and that it is filmed on location in SF. It only has three episodes left.
Hope they get another crack at it. Maybe use the recent "Shrimp Boy" case as a template. SF has had some interesting political alliances in its history that could be mined for story ideas.

 

Right now, 9:30 EDT, the Esquire Channel is showing a Miami Vice episode where the guest star is Miles Davis!

 

I forgot to add it to the DVR when we upgraded recently and now I'm way behind. I really liked the show. The redhead is smoking hot.

 

Each episode is so formulaic. One of the main characters comes up with a plan to really screw their opponents, but UH OH! the plan backfires in some unexpected way or the opposition was ready for it. Harvey does something shady. He and Jessica yell at each other. Mike saves the day, but is always looking over his shoulder due to his fictional law degree.

 

Has anyone watched Satisfaction on USA? Two episodes in and I'm pretty intrigued.

 

As a regular watcher of Naked and Afraid and the struggles they always have getting a fire and building a shelter, I really appreciate the skills those kids Atkins and Shields exhibited in the movie Blue Lagoon. /sarcasm

On a serious note (no, really), I'm amazed at how many of these survivalist specialists can't make a fire unless they bring a fire starter as one of their two allowed tools.
