    S03.E13: Smith Playground

    in Abbott Elementary

    Seriously cracked up at the teacher relay race - while the kids were mixing with the kids from the other school. Loved it. 

    Also cracked up at Mr. Johnson finding Ava's secret bathroom. 

    Over the Janine/Gregory will they or won't they moments.

    Based on your reco, I watched the first fifteen minutes of the very first episode last night. My reason for stopping wasn't dislike--I was engrossed. But what I saw contained the most disturbingly violent scenes I believe I've ever seen in anything made for television. And Mrs. Stone was coming downstairs and I knew she wouldn't go for that. I plan on returning to the show for segments of time in which she's not in the room. :)

    Are all the episodes like that? Or just the series opener so they could addict everyone on the adrenaline? (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

     

    Sorry for the late response. From memory, the later seasons are not nearly as violent as the original few episodes. In later seasons, the team became more of an ensemble and had much less of the cringe-factor.

    S20.E07: She Used to Be Mine

    in Grey's Anatomy

    If they are looking to lose cast to save money, Winston can go. 

    Can't stand Adams. I understand chip on the shoulder but he is insufferable. I like Yasuda. 

    So glad that Lauren survived so far.

    S07.E10: Community Service And The Key To A Happy Marriage

    in Young Sheldon

    It is a shame that, with so few episodes remaining in the series, they wasted so much time on Georgie/Mandy/in-laws. I don't mind Georgie and Mandy when they are interacting with the rest of the Coopers but on their own with the in-laws, count me out. 

    I also did not like the Meemaw storyline. 

    For me, this was a boring and wasted episode.

    Vera - General Discussion

    in Vera

    Just finished Episode 2 of the latest season. Very happy to see Joe back. I always preferred him to Aiden. As soon as I saw Shawn Dooley, I knew that he was the killer. He is recognizable British actor so...

    I miss Jac but Steph works just fine too. Was glad that Joe backed off of being called "Sir" by Kenny.

    Agree. Will Sasso is killing it, and they aren't even giving him that much to do.

    Rachel Bay Jones is playing the mom. She's a superb actor, and has won an Emmy, Grammy, Tony (three of the four EGOT). I remember her best from God Friended Me, the first time I saw her on TV. Then she was on United States of Al. She's clearly a good actor, but she's being written as a harpy. A little too much, if you ask me.

    I saw Rachel Bay Jones on Broadway years ago. She was terrific. However, the character is too unpleasant here. I cringe whenever she is on screen.

    I cracked up at the outhouse. 

    I really enjoy this show and will miss it when it ends. I've grown attached to Missy and the rest of the family.

    S01.E03: Reality Shock

    in Elsbeth

    I really enjoyed this episode. Jesse Tyler Ferguson was great as was the actress playing Katricia. I cracked up at her downing all of those tequila shots. 

    For me, the best part of the series is the relationship between Elsbeth and Kaya. 

    Elspeth's quirks still annoy me a bit but I am getting more acclimated to her. 

    Love seeing the shots of NYC.

    S03.E08: Holes Are Bad

    in Ghosts (US)

    I think that this episode played as well as it did because of the relative lack of Sam and Jay. I like both characters but, with their absence, the ghosts had to fend for themselves - which led to Hetty's confession and the saving of Flower. 

    Terrific episode.

    Of the two I am going with the EXPO's of Trigger Point with only the first season on Peacock over the NCIS of the Scottish Police. With one episode of the first season left those cliffhangers want me to binge but the tension of bomb disposal, while not at the best of Danger UXB levels makes me want to stop and decompress.

    Meanwhile I have put aside the RAF story of Vigil's second series after doing a weekly watch on the Royal Navy first season..

    I watched both seasons of Vigil and hope that they make a season 3. I like Suranne Jones a lot and she has good chemistry with Rose Leslie. Conversely, I thought that Trigger Point was very mundane. I wasn't keen on it at all. However, I think that part of the problem with each show was that it was aired on Peacock. My Peacock subscription has a ton of ads so the constant interruptions really spoiled the air of suspense.

    FBI: Most Wanted - General Discussion

    I like Ray very much and am super happy for his engagement.  I was going to be livid if something happened to Ray prior to him proposing (as so many shows do for heightened agony).  And I really, really like Ray's dad so it was great to see him again.  Their scenes were very sweet together -- giving Ray his mom's ring and her loving words in the note, and then at the beautiful bridge after the proposal.  

    I like Ray now too - his personality has been fleshed out a bit with the addition of the father, girlfriend and her son. I like him more than his predecessor. 

    Interesting that all discussion of Barnes' marriage and particularly Hana's roommate has ceased.
