"I'm here, she's here, we made it."

Indeed, we have made it. It's really happening. In 4 short weeks I am headed to Chicago to meet up with loyal blog-followers Fu, Des and Jenni. I am so very excited to spend a weekend watching our favorite episodes, reminiscing about the good old days of Alias (or TV in general) and actually SEEING each other in real life. And again, another thank you to all who made and still make this blog what it was and still is- a place for smart people, who enjoy smart TV to talk. I have a feeling that there will be a lot of that happening once I arrive in Illinois. Stay tuned!!

Please God, let 2023 be the year that Harry and Meghan STFU!

Preferably EARLY 2023.

Just polished off S3 of "Jack Ryan" and recently knocked off "A Spy Among Friends". Thinking about wading into "Slow Horses".

Page48 said...

So, I was all jacked up for "The Last of Us" because Anna Torv. Then somebody tells me her character dies early on. C'mon Man!

Page48 said...

"Alert: Missing Persons Unit".

Run-of-the-mill procedural with a couple of the "Alias" behind-the-scenes bros on the payroll (Eisendrath and JR Orci). Stars one of the H50 guys.

Glory days are over for Bad Robot and associates.

Page48 said...

If this was my class, these idiots would all be standing in the hall....forever. And, as an added bonus, they'd all get failing grades for being losers.

But that's just me.

We might have known that rainbow Pride hockey tape was a thing.

M&M's self-identifies as mentally retarded.

They'll get no argument from me.

Current Status: organizing the classified documents in my underwear drawer. Just a few leftovers from my days in the White House. They're perfectly safe there, unless my tighty-whiteys have eyes. Even the FBI wouldn't wade into my undie drawer.

Page48 said...

Sooooooo, "Night Court" is back. 33 years between episodes. If "Alias" follows that trajectory, look for new eppies to show up in 2039. Let us synchronize our watches.

Page48 said...

Re: Tyre Nichols (and others like him), would it not be a better use of taxpayers' dollars to teach young people how to handle police encounters without inviting their almost instant death, rather than wasting the same dollars teaching them that their own gender is negotiable? I only ask because, time after time, people (most often black) seem to think the best course of action when encountering police is to do everything possible to guarantee that they get themselves dead.

The flip side of these stories is, do these Keystone cops not realize that they're wearing body cams that can and will be used against them in a court of law when they slaughter people needlessly?

Just a couple of questions on my mind tonight. Hey, I have an inquiring mind, sue me.

Page48 said...

Until I watched this delusional nutter I didn't realize that black-on-black crime was a myth.

Try spinning that BS to Officer Dorn's family. I'm sure it was white supremacy that caused that punk's gun to go off.

That's the kind of nonsense I'd expect from Reverend Al.

Until recently, Cate Blanchett was apparently unaware that Hollyweird was a woke cesspool.

So now she knows.

Page48 said...

Banning "latinx" is a good start. Can we do "cis-gender" next?

Page48 said...

February 26 kicks off the final season of "The Blacklist"

I'm still not entirely sure what this show is about, but it's going to double (or more) the number of episodes "Alias" put out.

Page48 said...

New York Rangers leave their Pride jerseys "in the closet".

See what I did there?

Page48 said...

Canada never had a "dream" of national bilingualism. It is and was always the fantasy of French speaking politicians trying to force the overwhelming majority of non-french speaking Canadians to bend-the-knee, to which the appropriate response is "Buzz Off".

Page48 said...

Does he stop to consider that maybe it's Pride Jersey night that's "not for everyone".?

Page48 said...

Would you rather sit thru the Grammys or die horribly in a vat of acid?

Page48 said...

Truer words never spoken. This would be me in the same situation. I'd be thinking "deliver me from this freak show". I'd probably also be thinking "I should have stuck with the other Jen", but that's just me.

Page48 said...

What will it take to get Madonna to BUZZ OFF and leave us the hell alone? What did we ever do to deserve her?

Page48 said...

Here's a deep thought from a shallow man. Avoid the anguish of de-transitioning by not transitioning in the first place.

Some helpful tips:

1) When the nice doctor comes to hack your boobies off, kick him in the face (Sydney Bristow style) and while he's collecting himself, shove the scalpel deep into his squiggly lizard brain ("Walking Dead"-style).

2) Having completed step one, get on with your life.

3) Having completed steps one and two, don't forget to plead "not guilty" to the stabby doctor thingy. He wasn't a real healthcare worker anyway, just some guy with an expensive wife and shady values

4) Never talk to your stupid parents again because they allowed things to get this far, which means they're unqualified to be parents.

5) Get on the Twitter machine and change your freaking pronouns back to she/her.

Page48 said...

Might be time to start charging woke judges.

20 years ago was the only Super Bore that ever mattered, and even then, it was what came AFTER the "big game" that made it memorable. Namely "Alias" S02E13, "Phase One".

Here, Vartan and Lumbly reminisce.

Tell me this scene doesn't seem like you watched it for the first time YESTERDAY. I'll know if you're lying.

Now, if you choose to watch tonight's Super Bore, just remember, it's completely irrelevant. Not only that, but after you've wasted 5 hours watching it, "Alias" doesn't come on when it's over.

Page48 said...

Quick, name a song (any song) by Super Bore Halftime legend, Rihanna. I'll give you a minute.................Yeah, me neither.

I only ask because I saw something online saying that she replayed all the "hits" during yesterday's halftime performance and I just thought to myself, all I know about Rihanna is that she was in that movie "Battleship".

Page48 said...

Abrams, Grunberg and Holloway reunited and it feels so good. Or does it? No one knows yet cuz no one has seen it yet.

"Duster" has 3 things going against it from my POV:

1) it's on HBO Max, to which I don't subscribe
2) it's set in 1972
3) no sci-fi

About to embark on one final mission with the crew of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" on the final season of "Star Trek: Picard".

Page48 said...

I'd rather drop my kids off at Michael Jackson's house.

Page48 said...

Word to the ladies. When you let the "doctors" come for your boobies, just remember, they don't grow back. It's not like when you get a bad haircut and you just have to wait for a few weeks before no one can tell the difference.

And, while I've got you here, what makes you think being a make-believe man is the answer to your problems?

Page48 said...

If a black person moves in next door to me, do I have to send them reparations? Is an e-transfer okay or do descendants of slaves prefer post-dated cheques? I just want to do the right thing.

Page48 said...

I'm getting a definite Rachel Levine vibe here.

Page48 said...

Kiefer Sutherland is back, this time in "Rabbit Hole". Not entirely sure what this one's about, but it has a decent cast, including the bad boy from the pilot episode of "Fringe", and of course, the patriarch of the Lannister family, Charles Dance.

I'll be checking this one out.

Page48 said...

My guess is that Greta Thunberg has a crush on an Indigenous Sami Reindeer Herder. What else would this be about?

Page48 said...

"True Lies" (the series) kicks off in 15 minutes. It stars nobody I've ever heard of. Will it be good? Probably not. Will it last? Not likely. Why not? Because there isn't much effort or talent put into making network TV great again.

So Enjoy.

Page48 said...

Looks like a rising star in the Biden admin.

Page48 said...

Finally, a trailer for "Citadel".

A number of "Alias" and "Fringe" writers and other assorted Bad Robot behind-the-scenes types involved. Looks like they're actually trying. And, of course, this is not on network TV because network TV is reserved for drivel.

Page48 said...

Who thought a "gender identity clinic" was necessary anyway?

Gender identity requires nothing more than a privacy curtain where a confused teen can drop their pants in front of an "expert" (maybe their kid brother).

Page48 said...

I shun all art critics by default. And I don't bother to tell them why.

Page48 said...

After the premier of "True Lies", I read a comment that likened it to "Alias" on helium. That person needs to go back and watch "Alias" again. This thing is much more reminiscent of that husband-and-wife abomination, "Undercovers".

The pilot was so uninspiring to watch that I completely forgot to tune in for the 2nd episode.

It's worth noting (as mentioned in the linked article) that Matt Nix is the showrunner. Where the writer gets it wrong is that TL does absolutely nothing to remind a viewer of Nix's "Burn Notice". If only it did.

I boldly predict there will be no S2 of "True Lies". If there is, I don't know who will be watching.

Page48 said...

Here's what we DON'T need. A gender-swapped reboot of "Matlock"

Regulators should have waited until "Lesbian Visibility Day" was over before shutting Silicon Valley Bank down. Priorities please!

Page48 said...

In a perfect world, someone sneaks Will Smith into tonight's Oscars and, after hurling a few obscenities on live TV, he beats the snot out of Jimmy Kimmel. That would be a great way to rehab his image and then we could all go back to liking Will Smith.

Page48 said...

That's some serious Mansplaining goin' on.

Page48 said...

Can we go ahead and admit that Tiger Woods is just the "bar car" for a long list of white girls itching to ride the rails for awhile?

Smart girls know that Tiger isn't gonna be there for them when they're old and grey, but if they're lucky, some of his money might be. Isn't that what these ladies are all about anyway?

Page48 said...

I love the scorching that Drew Barrymore is getting on Twitter for the embarrassing display of pro-tranny pandering on her TV show (which, apparently, Twitter watches so we don't have to).

What happened to that sweet little girl who flashed her boobies at David Letterman? I want her back.

Page48 said...

Grown men need to learn how to celebrate victory without causing season-ending injuries to each other. Shouldn't be that difficult.

Just keep saying to yourself "I'm not a 10 year old girl, I don't need to jump up and down when I win a ballgame". There, glad I could help.

Page48 said...

Ha! "Diversity Training". My last day at the office would be the day before Diversity Training began. One of the benefits of getting long in the tooth is that you can just opt out of snowflake culture.

Page48 said...

"Fringe"

First we lost the head Observer, Windmark, and now Phillip Broyles. A shocker for sure.

Time to revisit this great scene from the pilot, nearly 15 years ago. Hard to believe, impossible to forget.

I just want to go back to before.

Page48 said...

Check out the hidden gem in this video. I would absolutely go to the prom with her. Of course I'd have to drug her and throw her in the back seat of my car to get her there, but still.

Page48 said...

What was this guy thinking? More importantly, WTF was Hershey thinking?

Page48 said...

I love when we have to explain what's offensive about the "extremely offensive" remark, otherwise no one would know to be "extremely offended".

I hope no one finds this offensive.

Nobody in that room wants to listen to Kamala's infantile blabbering.

She's just a Sleepy Joe slip-and-fall away from being President of the You Knighted States. You voted well, America.

Page48 said...

What she said!!

Chicks with D*cks don't have any place in women's sports.

Page48 said...

The second I hear a "land acknowledgement", I immediately change channels until I suspect it's safe to come back. I'm not here for the virtue-signalling nonsense.

That said, I should note that I'm writing this from the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation whose presence here reaches back to time immemorial. Please forgive me.

Page48 said...

If you're a woman (you know, like Lia Thomas) , how much would ESPN have to pay you to voice this clip?. Would you break all the mirrors in your house so you never have to look at yourself again? How would you explain your betrayal to your daughters, especially the ones that still identify as female?

Page48 said...

Where's Kyle Rittenhouse when you need him? He would have blown Oddrey's head off before she stepped over the broken glass.

She had 28 years to get her sh!t together and this is the best life plan she could come up with: "Not happy as a girl, not happy pretending to be a boy, let's go kill some folks" Absolute sh!t for brains.

Page48 said...

What happened?

That doesn't require much investigation. 99% of what happened is social media and cable "news". I blame the other 1% on AOC.

We're ALL black Californians today!

My bank misgendered me in an email today. I'm thinking of having them publicly shamed and then cancelled. Who's with me?

I'm with Kid Rock on this one.

If Mulvaney wants to wear a dress in his spare time (preferably in the privacy of his own home), then whatever. If Bud Light feels the need to promote mental illness, then KR is well onside to blast those beer cans into oblivion and flip the bird to Anheuser-Busch. They're old enough to know better.

If a Youtube prankster gets shot by the prankee who doesn't see the humour in "pranks", I think we can just go ahead and call that a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Don't be an idiot. Don't be a Youtube prankster. Get a real job like your single mom.

Page48 said...

What is a woman?

It's really NOT a trick question, although this clown makes it sound like one. Imagine the steely determination on the part of the sign language chick to not burst out laughing at this moron.

BTW, apparently this clown holds the highest office in the land in New Zealand. If I identified as the Prime Minister of New Zealand, would I indeed BE the Prime Minister of New Zealand?

I always say "it's not a Sweet Sixteen party until the 4th murder victim flatlines". Been saying it for years.

Back in my day, we just blew out candles, presumably because we didn't have gangsta rap as the soundtrack to our lives.

A sampling of the 2023 Canadian Screen Awards (presumably watched by 9 or 10 people). An endless parade of the most embarrassing people living north of the border. Watch at your peril. And then go take a shower.

If I'm this clown (not saying I am), I'm donning a dress and choosing to do my time at the girlie prison.

Of course nowadays the girlie prison is apt to be full of dudes, so a bro can't win.

Page48 said...

Dylan Mulvaney is an attention-seeking freak show and the fact that not all the attention is "gender-affirming" is something he needs to take into consideration when conducting his completely voluntary social media activities.

Long story short, he could just disappear into society (lucky society) and live quietly among the masses if he doesn't like the blowback.

Page48 said...

OMG, remember when U2 was awesome?

"Yeah I'm here without a name, in the palace of my shame, I said Love Rescue Me".

Honourable mention to some pre-Wilburys Bob Dylan.

Page48 said...

Just finished the season (series?) finale of "Star Trek: Picard". Nice season featuring TNG crew. A few ridiculous F-bombs because that are so clearly out of place in any "Star Trek", but when you give the kids the car keys you have to expect a few dents in the SUV.

I read an online rumour of a potential next season, but it seems unlikely.

Page48 said...

Can we just skip straight to lethal injection for fools like this "Just Stop Oil" clown?

Administered right on sight, of course, since we already know he's guilty of being truly obnoxious and unlikely to improve over time.

I'm guessing Don Lemon was fired for saying that Michelle Obama was a better looking woman than Melania Trump. One lie too many for the management at CNN.

Nikki Haley is not wrong.

I mean, Joe's brain has already left the building (and he does ride around in an armoured hearse).

Welcome to Canada. You're in clown country now, so govern yourself accordingly!

Is it any wonder that Griner feels that it's a crime to keep men out of women's sports?

Enjoy this recent puff piece celebrating my 365th day as a Labradoodle. Nothing from Bud Light yet, which is kind of disappointing.

If you're in Canada, this is your tax dollars at work. This is why no one listens to CBC Radio and wby many people think this dumpster fire should be de-funded.

TV writers on strike again. Remember the last time they walked out? One of the casualties back then was "Bionic Woman", which basically folded during the strike and never returned.

Face it ladies, Bros Bike Better (Joe Biden aside).

Page48 said...

JJ's first female star (Keri Russell), having polished off the verrrry good "The Americans", (and of course "Cocaine Bear") is back with another apparently verrrrry good show, "The Diplomat". I haven't seen it yet, but folks are gushing over this one. It also stars that guy from "The Man in the High Castle".

Meanwhile, JJ's 2nd female star is in the "Party Down" reboot. C'mon Jen, at least pretend you're trying. Start by firing your agent.

"What we know about Jordan Neely’s chokehold death on the New York subway"

Here's a shorter version: there's one less d-bag raising hell on the subway.

Page48 said...

Wow, is there a strap-on shortage or something? Cuz that seems like a better option.

Page48 said...

Looks like a whole bunch more former marines are needed down at the subway.

"Oppenheimer" trailer. I like the cast in this one.

Pro tip: be sure to hide under your desk when the bomb goes off. Trust me, it'll help.

A little clip of The Doctor and Donna Noble (and Dougie Howser), coming to a year near you, but sadly not for an extended stay.

More toxic than Ellen's show?

That these shows are toxic isn't the real surprise. The real surprise is that anyone, not confined to a wheelchair, watches these shows.

How much unmitigated bullsh!t could you pack into a 2:23 video?

To pretend that this painting says anything other than the painter had some yellow and blue paint he needed to get rid of is to live in an alternate universe. I'd rather have an original Hunter Biden hanging in my gallery.

And yet, this eyesore sold for 46.5 million dollars.

Page48 said...

Quick, name an Ed Sheeran tune.............yeah, me neither.

Page48 said...

This is an inappropriate use of the word "accomplishment". This was Sports Illustrating recruiting a tranny for their rag. No accomplishment required. Dude just had to say "yes" when the phone rang.

It's also an inappropriate use of the word "her", but who's counting?

Page48 said...

BTW, I don't care if Martha Stewart is on the cover of Sports Illustrated, but I don't know what she has to do with sports.

That said, she's the same age my pops was when he died and he could have easily passed for her father, so kudos to Martha for giving hope to those of us yet to turn 81.

Page48 said...

Why don't Harry and Meghan just go home and think about how they're going to spend Meghan's reparations cheque?

I don't believe this BS about their 2 hour car chase.

Page48 said...

Does anyone know of anyone who has ever bought a copy of Sports Illustrated? Why would someone ever do that? Obviously, if your tranny son is on the cover, you'll want to buy up ALL the copies so no one finds out about your, um, son. But aside from that, does anyone actually shell out for SI?

Page48 said...

Sooooo, how long before AI can start churning out new seasons of "Alias"?

With over 100 eppies to "learn" from, surely AI can get the gist of the show and it can't be long until the scripts are as good as anything Bad Robot came up with. And who needs real live actors anymore?

Let's remove S4's standalones from the "learning" process, though.

Page48 said...

Remember 14 years ago when the famous moron, Kanye West, tried to steal Taylor Swift's big moment and now Taylor owns the world and Kanye is still just a famous moron?

Yeah, me too, I remember that.

Target has "Tuck Friendly Undies", just in time for Father's Day.

Because we all know your Dad doesn't want to DO your Mom, he wants to BE your Mom.

Page48 said...

As the thousands of you lurkers here at LTA will recall, I watched the pilot for "True Lies" and immediately called it a dead show walking. It was an early call, reminiscent of FOX News calling Arizona for Joe Biden in 2020, but it was a no-brainer, cuz it wasn't a good show.

Network TV is dead and there are probably zero decent scripted shows on NBC/ABC/CBX/FOX right now and never will be again. Enjoy your Chicago:This and NCI:That and your FBI:Whatever, cuz that's all you'll ever have.

Time to let AI start writing scripts for network TV and see how that goes.

Page48 said...

Every now and then I like to watch these interrogation videos even though they're a bit long. You just can't fathom the level of stupidity on display here. Of course, it's not unreasonable to assume that the victim was an Einstein, either

Page48 said...

Note the Bristow family reunion in this trailer for Jen's "The Last Thing He Told Me".

This reviewer, although unable to spell Bristow, says Jen's new series is a crashing bore masquerading as a thriller and wishes out loud that she was watching an "Alias" reboot instead.

I haven't seen it, so I can't comment on the degree of dreckness, but at least Jen is trying something not involving a rom-com with Mark (I'm a raving lunatic) Ruffalo.

Page48 said...

Look at this insufferable jackass, aka the Supreme Leader of Canada.

I didn't vote for him the first time, the second time, or the third time, and yet here he is. Lord have mercy.

Page48 said...

Oh crap! I think I left my "menstruation bracelet" in the ladies room this afternoon (where I temporarily identified as a woman due to my ongoing issues with gender fluidity and also due to my desire to meet babes).

BTW, this Marci chick is a long-time-newsreader-turned-deadbeat-left-wing Trudeau cabinet minister. Not asking her to the prom, that's for sure.

Page48 said...

So a Blue Jays pitcher retweets something about boycotting Bud Light and Target for their contributions to destroying society and he's forced to recite a boilerplate lawyer-approved apology and agree to re-education camp. I wouldn't be surprised if he has to do Dylan Mulvaney's chores for a month.

Page48 said...

She looks so much cuter without those nasty boobies, don't ya think?

Page48 said...

I've seen one (1) Mr Beast video and feel no need to watch another one (1). I never heard of him until 3 or 4 months ago, so curiousity sucked me in for one (1) viewing. That's it. No need to revisit this stuff.

Happy Pride Year from Canada's number one girlie-man.....and leader for life, apparently.

Dear God, please send help!!!

Page48 said...

Notwithstanding that Anthony Bass didn't inspire much confidence on the mound, his real crime was in not bending the knee to the Pride mafia.

Would have been a real dilemma had his ERA been 1.10 or something like that. Then how do you get rid of your problem?

The NHL has shown it's players are growing tired of grovelling to the Pride industry and would have probably let this "indiscretion" slide, knowing that their fan base would be over it in no time, especially if their dissenting players notched a couple of early goals. Early goals are very healing.

Page48 said...

The 2SLGBTQQIA+ community?

Community? Seriously, this is stronger than any password I've ever used to secure my online banking?

Page48 said...

Oh, please.

Now, if they said ALL cable news should be taken off the air everywhere, they might be on to something.

Page48 said...

2SLGBTQQIPAA+ "explained".

My freaking tax dollars at work.

Look at these fools.

Imagine having kids stupid enough to believe this nonsense. I'll bet they have Greta on speed dial.

In fairness to the hospital, how were they to know she was a girl? I mean when a girl tells you she's a boy, she's a boy. A girl knows these things.

Juneteenth tomorrow!

Adam Schiff is just an insufferable dick. He may be the only one who doesn't realize it, but I predict that even he will come to recognize his own dickishness eventually.

Page48 said...

He's not wrong.

A football season is like 18 games or something like that, so if your team sports a Pride Logo for a month it might as well just run with it for the whole season. Knock it off already.

Of course, I consider football to be a ridiculous sport anyway, so this just bolsters my argument.

Page48 said...

Is Bud Light on puberty blockers yet?

Page48 said...

The real story here is that people pay money to see Lana Del Ray, not that her set was late getting started because of her bad hair day.

Quick, name a Lana Del Ray song.....I'll wait for you. Not forever, of course, but I'll give you a minute.

Page48 said...

Dylan Mulvaney seems to be going for the "Doctor Her" look.

In other news, he's a little peeved that he got ghosted by the good folks at Bud Light, but didn't say if he returned their beer (either before or after drinking it) in protest.

Elon is working some real magic with Twitter. WTF dude?

I agree 100%. JJ Abrams needs to go back to making TV..

The fact that his latest newsmaking project is a movie adaptation of Hot Wheels says everything we need to know about the state of JJ's career today. Basically, that it's in tatters.

"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." debuted on September 24, 2013 (remember "Don't touch Lola"?) One day earlier, "The Blacklist" entered the fray. Right this moment, we're down to the final strokes of TBL.

What these 2 shows have in common, aside from an almost identical start date, is that they are the last 2 shows on my broadcast network watch list, which used to be packed. When TBL wraps up in a few weeks, I will have no more network shows to pay any attention to. That's sad. What's even sadder is that I listened to some dweebs on the radio today talking about which TV series they would most like to see become a movie. This conversation was triggered by an apparent announcement that an old show called "Community" was about to hit the big screen. "Community", a show that I have never seen a single frame of, was a sitcom. Sitcoms should NEVER become movies. Have these people never seen "The Beverly Hillbillies" or one of the "Gilligan's Island" movies? Those things were awful. Leave them alone.

The contributors to this radio conversation suggested their choice for TV shows to become a movie would include, you guessed it, sitcoms. "Friends", "WKRP in Cincinatti". Whaaaaaat? How about "Chuck" or "Alias" or have people forgotten that these shows even existed? We're absolutely doomed, I tells ya.

I've never seen a Daniel Day Lewis movie. There, I said it.

So, just finished the series finale of "The Blacklist" and all I can really says is, after 10 years and 200+ episodes, I still don't really know what it was about.

Jen set to reprise her role as "Elektra" in the upcoming "Deadpool 3".

I haven't seen either previous "Deadpool" movie due to my utter fatigue with superhero movies.

"Elektra" wasn't much of a movie as I recall.

You should always have a trans-woman come off the bench to take the big kicks. Megan Rapinoe would tell you as much.

"Special Ops: Lioness" is something I would check out in a heartbeat if I had a subscription to Paramount+ , which is never gonna happen.

I spent a lot of time this week hearing about Bradley Cooper's fake nose. I actually had to Google Leonard Bernstein because, although I'm familiar with the name, I really had no idea who he was. Now that I know who he was, I'm not sure why BC would write a movie about a guy I had to Google. But, I guess as long as the nose knows.

How good could a Taylor Swift concert be? Not disrespecting Taylor here, but there is no way I would ever shell out the crazybucks for any concert, especially as long as Youtube is free.

Standing down and standing by.....for the next 20 years. By the time the Proud "Boys" re-enter society, Donald Trump will be 100 years old (and eerily orange).

The takeaway here? Don't throw your life away for your favourite politician. No matter which side of the spectrum they're on, they are not worth it and they wouldn't serve a weekend under house arrest for you.

And, while we're at it, what kind of a Proud Boy grovels for mercy in front of a judge? At that point, you're not a Proud Boy anymore, you're just a Silly Boy.

I must say that I'm looking forward to this brief, but welcome, return of The Doctor and Donna Noble. Donna does not appear to have aged as much as TD.

From the folks who gave us "Strike Back", comes "Who is Erin Carter?". Seven episodes. Good fun, a little crazy. Check it out....or don't.

"Covert Affairs": those were the days.

Never saw a single episode of "Friends" or anything else Matthew Perry was ever in.

Every time I turn on the local news, I hear about people who are "experiencing homelessness". Two years ago they were just "homeless", now they're "experiencing homelessness". It's like if all the people in the cemetery are "experiencing deadness".

Who gave the go-ahead to change "make" a decision to "take" a decision?

I was looking forward to a brief respite from the abuse served up the writers of "Doctor Her". It sounded good on the surface. David Tennant and Catherine Tate were coming back for 3 eppies before the show further devolved into something completely unrecognizable to DW fans.

BUT, there will be no respite. Russell T. Davies revived the show back in 2005 but now he's come back to preside over its utter demise, turning it into a pandering pile of PC poop, although it was already well on its way.

Thank God the Queen herself will never have to see this.

If you can stomach the ladies from "The View" (I know, I know), here is Jen talking some "Alias".

She's gotta lose those big-ass glasses (not to mention the ladies of "The View").

Is there a new episode of "Alias" airing after tonight's Super Bore like there was 21 years ago?

Page48 said...

I gave the Super Bore a hard pass for the LVIII year in a row. And, while we're at it, name an Usher song, I'll wait....take your time....no rush....I know it's right on the tip of your tongue. Yeah, me neither.

In no way can Joy Reid's blonde mop-top be considered cultural appropriation. Not on my watch.

Whew! That reporter is the one who's on fire. Listen to her go.

As for the joker who "has emblazoned himself", does the blame lie with Trump or Israel? We know the "we are Hamas" crowd will blame Israel and Rachel Maddow will blame Trump. Whoever chants their BS the loudest goes home with first prize. Johnny, tell them what they could win!
