Aristotle Dumas? Who thought that name up? And Victor trying to pronounce "Dumas" while mumbling was something.

I love Mishael Morgan, too. Ashley Newbrough? It is the eyebrows that get to me. Everytime I see her. But they didn't look so pasted on in this movie. I will now lap from my saucer of cream. Seems the network is destined to search for the next Lacey C, Rachel Boston, Jennifer something who went to GAC (not one of my faves), Jill Wagner, the one who grins maniacally (I actually like her), and a host of others that I like but can't remember right now. So far....it is not going all that well. Just my opinion. Same with some of the actors. I did see that Brendon Elliot's wife passed away.

I must have missed something. I was looking forward to hearing from Jeffrey Goldberg this morning. What I saw was the numerous Talking Heads discussing it; with Goldberg included. Please tell me that he was on, by himself, during some other segment. The Brady Bunch screen with the talking heads? Begone. At least in this case. But. I can only imagine the histrionics of Meeka; and Joe trying to bring his When I was in Congress tired schtick. And MSNBC? It seems almost criminal for Joe to be a drop-in host on his own show. With the salary he is taking in. I promise this is the last time I will bring this up.

After reading the latest comments re ... the Victor/Billly/new Winters adjacent family. What will happen re Victor knowing whoever the made-up name person who we have not yet seen could be. I know...I just basically typed gibberish. But honestly? Do any of us actually care? At all? What I would love to see is Jill back. I know that Jess Walton does not want to come back for any length of time. So - just my opinion - Show needs to recast Jill. Colleen Z would have been perfect had she not been brought on as a buffoon/lunatic. But there must be a large pool of soap opera vets who would be excellent; and ready. Anything to drive some life into the disaster of a storyline/soap opera we are watching. And Sharon/Phyllis. I remember most of the terrible things Phyllis has done to Sharon. But what has Sharon done that could possibly be as egregious?

Sorry..technical glitch. On my part.

I love seeing all the "comfort viewing" posts. Hallmark movies...I used to disdain them; but now they are another source of comfort; with my cup of tea. Sometimes with a dash of Irish Whiskey stirred in. Yesterday on Morning Joe. Claire McCaskill, who I have always loved. She praised the Populist rallies being held by Bernie, AOC and others. Then. She said she was not in favor of ousting Chuck Schumer. And there it is. Same as it ever was. You know what? The inability of the Dems to effectively fight back against the Tea Party, the trashing of Obama by Rethugs in Congress, etc. resulted in Rethugs winning those midterms. And the beginning of the meanness and ugliness of the Republican Party that now has control of it all. Sorry, I know I go on too long and end up sounding unhinged. But where we are, as a country, is terrifying. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fight back. The leadership needs to have courage and fire. Schumer (among others) are not suited for this fight.

I have watched "Midsomer Murders" for seemingly decades. At least until the original Barnaby left. The cozy/quaint villages. That were full of murderous bellringers, murderous priests, a victim being killed via a huge, rolling circle of cheese. With wine bottles being catapulted over a fence/hedge. etc. I may start the series again, from the first episode. I think it streams, live, on some sites.

I tuned in for the 8:00 half hour. First - a shallow observation: Meeka is either letting her hair go gray or is soaking her head in peroxide. I cannot tell which. Claire McCaskill. I always like what she adds to MJ. This morning? First - Joe was doing his "when I was running" and Claire was praising the populist rallies that Dems are doing. Then. I think she said she was against Dems in the Senate removing Schumer from his leadership position. I think. I was surprised. Because that is kind of what attendees to these rallies and so many Dem voters seem want. They are mad at business as usual, perceived weakness of Dems in power. Claire and Joe? Same as it ever was.

I stream "Murder She Wrote" episodes in bed; with a cup of chamomile tea.

tres bien...your post sums up everything that is terrible about Republicans in Congress. I would say the Representative is tone deaf, but that is way too flattering. She (and anyone who organized this event) basically insulted her own voters. The arrogance and craven play for money is shocking, even in these times. The Dems will hopefully milk it for all its worth. And run a true populist against her.

"Hearts Around the Table" ... was not a very good movie. But sometimes the actors can overcome the usual tired dialogue and indifferent writing. But the lead actor - Jake Epstein? - was just snooze inducing. And it wasn't just this movie - I have seen him in other movies and he is just as dull. Monotone voice. Ashley Newbrough? Don't know - I have seen her in other Hallmark movies. She maybe isn't the strongest actress, but I think she is going to get a big "push" from the network. Other than the leads? The cast was not bad at all.

This was absolutely fabulous!!!!

I wish I could take her with a grain of salt. I cannot believe that no one has called KYV out for many things (already rich women KYVing, the show of conspicuous consumption re gift bags, hotels, etc.) ... but mostly her haughty attitude re where this event is held. There is nothing better than a rich, educated woman who has never had to really work for anything in their life...to pat themselves on the back from their lofty perches. And. I have no idea why she triggers me. 😎

The Paul Stein law firm? One of them (at least) should have had the courage to come forward and publicly share that they were threatened (if they were). The same with the Rethugs in Congress. I know it must be a terrible situation to be in; and it is easy for me - or anyone else - to say they should put their lives and their families lives at possible risk. But something has got to give. And this could be the best place to start. We cannot sustain the constant upheaval everyday; see our institutions dismantled, people being broken. It would only take one person to tell what is going on ... it might break the dam.

I don't get the Hallmark Mystery Channel, so I was looking forward to "Dial 1 for Murder" on the regular channel tonight. I really like Chris McNally; had never seen the actress before...Holland Roden. It was not good. To me, the actress was annoying (truly) and took me out of every scene she was in. Maybe in a different movie, different character. It was also not particularly well-written. Just me? Was there more than one of these made? Like "The Crossword Mysteries"...the Hannah Swenson ones...., Aurora Teagarden,, et.
