    Scraping the bottom of the streaming services ... watched some of the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts on Amazon Prime, which are so bad they're funny. One is a Joe Namath roast from 1979, which includes Dick Butkus and George Blanda and their complete lack of comic timing. The rest of the dais is filled with randoms from Orson Welles to Angie Dickinson to Jimmie Walker. Dean Martin introduces all of them as "my good friend" and then sits down to resume his drinking and smoking.

    The most compelling plot lines of season one were largely wrapped up, so I think it will be different show in some sense.

    We are 5 episodes into The Flight Attendant. You can fly a plane through some of the plot holes so far, but I am enjoying it.

    Not familiar with the comic but gave Resident Alien a shot after seeing a good review for it. I'll stick with it and see where it's going.

    Wiseguy went film noir for this flashback episode and though perhaps a bit campy it was full of heart and well done.

    I have just watched the first two episodes of season 1, I’m hooked.

    I didn’t realize it was filmed in Vancouver. We drink at the dive bar shown in episode 2.

    Just getting into season 3 of Yellowstone. Wondered how they would come back from the second season - and Taylor Sheridan has set the right tone in dialing things back. Makes me realize that the narrative isn't what makes me love the show - but just spending time with the characters is the real treat. From Costner and the grandson to the bunkhouse all the characters really resonate. And Taylor Sheridan's writing is so dead on - reminds me a lot of Thomas McGuane

    "We're f-kin' in the dirt aren't we?"
    "Mmmm, maybe in a little bit. First we're gonna dance."

    I didn't realize it was a comic, but the trailer looked interesting and Tudyk is great. I missed the premiere, but I set the DVR to catch a re-run of it later in the week, so I'll be giving it a shot.

    Tudyk is one of those actors - like Andy Serkis - more than worthy of super-stardom from the work he's done, but remains kind of anonymous.

    Watching Peaky Blinders, again. The Sopranos was a sitcom compared to this.

    Disney paid this guy to make pig noises in Moana. He's great. It's still...You get Alan Tudyk and you just have him make pig noises?

    If they're going by the book series, then the currently planned 8 seasons will each focus on a different Bridgerton sibling.
