Today I learned: MEEP is allowed as a word in Scrabble™. After watching Coyote vs. Acme,I had to try putting it down on the board. Computer says yes.

Some mediocre choices here, and an almost complete lack of a few of the superior European shows like Babylon Berlin! I am proud to have helped make 35 episodes of the #2 show.

"More than 500 stars, showrunners and TV lovers voted on their favorite shows of this century. Here are the results of our poll." Some mediocre choices here, and an almost complete lack of a few superior European shows. I'm proud to have helped make 35 episodes of the #2 show on the poll. #thewire

We already have choice overload with ones like Xumo, Plex, Pluto, Tubi...to name a few. It is absurd to start another.

TBT: What is one scene in a tv show that you watched as a young'un, that will forever live rent-free in your head? I'll start: Audrey Horne in Twin Peaks making a knot in a cherry stem with her tongue.

Trending on the socials, make your favorite film sound as boring as possible without giving away the title. My faves, so far: 1. On a cargo-hauler traveling in deep space, a rules-minded warrant officer struggles with co-workers, corporate shenanigans, and a pest problem.

One other thing about Furious; lots of shows have that one performance where you're like "This person just steals the show whenever they're on screen." This series has like five of those

Pedro Pascal, in recent years, got the nickname "Internet Daddy" after his role in The Last of Us where he seems like a genuinely good guy — and a genuinely good “daddy.” Plus he's hot. Well, to me the OG "Internet Daddy" for years has been Kyle Chandler.

How TF can someone make such an enormous, obvious cash grab move single-handedly, and the rest of the organization he helms just shrugs it off? This reeks. Investigate the grubby outside people behind this scheme. Hope there is a boycott from the teams, without whom the ca$h machine collapses.

That was absolutely superb, such a thorough look into the subject, thank you! As a boy of 8 (1969) I bought a radio that could receive SW. I was already listening to some of the MW music pirates, but these stations on SW further opened up my world out of grey Luton.

Aged 15 (1976), first weekend job, two of us cooking up to 200 different cuts of steak a night. The other guy was twice my age and an experienced stand-up comic: he would tell jokes whilst we worked and never repeated himself. It was in a grey industrial town 20 miles North of London.

Great news, the novels are excellent, and Graham Yost (Justified, The Americans...) is involved.
