I’m old enough to have watched the original Lost In Space when it aired. And let me tell you, even by 1965 standards, with me in the ten year old boy viewer demographic, that series was just plan DREADFUL. It was always high expectation (because its about space flight!) followed by crushing disappointment. It was

So many job out there for grandmas with diabetes and failing eyesight.

The same day I was watching the Korean comedy ‘Go Go Waikiki’ when out of the blue a character burst into a stage musical number complete with dramatic stage lighting - “This is the Moment” from the Broadway musical Jekyll and Hyde... in Korean. I’m seeing ‘musical theater’ numbers pop up in the strangest places in

We’ve got footprints of happy dinosaurs galloping around the globe right up to the KT boundary. We’ve got new species continuing to evolve right up to the KT boundary. At the KT boundary not only did all the dinosaurs die but MOST mammals, MOST birds, MOST reptiles, MOST fish, MOST pankton surface life on the oceans.

You know that electric car you bought to save the environment? The rocket launch to send you into space for a joy ride will expel more hydrocarbons in three minutes than if you owned a Hummer and left it idling in the driveway all the time.

I assume the series will involve a LOT of walking and a LOT of exposition.

It sounds like this is a story about the ‘scandal’, not the ‘crime’. I’m curious, were there any scenes of that disgusting old man raping boy-after-boy-after boy? Cable TV sex scandal stories involving women usually linger over the sex bits voyeuristically. It almost sounds like the victims were forgotten here.

Pay him enough and he’ll do you. Isn’t that how all ‘personalities’ groomed by Roger Ailes got ahead? Lets ask Megyn.

Speaking of the internet, did you know there’s a new The Good Place podcast named, appropriately ‘the Medium Place’? One host has seen all of the episodes, the other is watching new.

So are the fans now going to pull a ‘The Good Wife’ on Johnson and start publicly hating on him like they did Juliana Margulies?

I . don’t . care.

Wasn’t there an urban legend going around recently having something to do with Donald Trump’s lunatic fascination with gorillas on nature programs? Yes, I just googled it. Trump and ‘The Gorilla Channel’. That could be the inspiration for this story.

I heard rumors the Clear Channel has been running Limbaugh at a loss for years. Apparently far right propaganda mills are only nominally capitalist enterprises. Brietbart (when it was still relavent) was financed by a shadow rich guy with only a couple degrees of separation from Russian oligarchs,

I’m wondering if iZombie has a story arc that they’re following. Maybe the end of the story is the end of the story. I can’t imagine it going on nine seasons Walking dead-style.

Ugh, not Greg again. Body-shaming passive-aggressive nasty drunkard Greg. If Greg hadn’t left eventually he would have beat Rebecca to a bloody pulp while in a drunken rage.

Last year there was a VERY ambitious and expensive Korean TV series named ‘Goblin’ (or various translations thereof). Even in a high-production-value series about a never-dying demon and the grim reaper personified they still had to stop off for lunch at Subway every couple episodes.

The list of well known actors who have given up the trade continues to grow. From Gene Hackman to Daniel Day Lewis to most recently Cameron Diaz. For most of ‘em, though, you don’t realize they’ve quit. You just assume they’re between projects. But they’re gone.

I saw the director’s name and my initial thought was ‘Oh no, she’s not stealing another Asian role, is she?’ She isn’t.

Its ironic that Home Improvement’s ‘Tool Time’ girl was last spotted visiting the London embassy where Wiki Leaks Assange is holed-up. Persumably visiting so that he could get holed-up.

Even with their expensive clothes and elitist pretensions that family still has the taste & tact of a 1950s New Jersey used car salesman (with apologies to New Jersey used care salesmen). Their taste in women tend towards the ‘well done steak with ketchup’ types. With a diet coke on the side.
