And there was great chemistry between the leads. When they kissed at the end...it was pretty good.

I agree. But some of those KYV regulars seem to be a bit thirsty.

Here is a positive post. I would love to know the name of Peggy Noonan's plastic surgeon or dermatologist; she is younger than me but looks decades better. I know, maybe a blurry camera lens, lighting, makeup. I cannot bear to listen to her speak; but I look at her face/hair and envy.

Oh my gosh, I was just going to post the exact same thing! That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture of her and the caption under it. What has happened to her hair? I could make a rug out of it for my cat. (lapping from the shallow end of the pool this morning)

Keith Olbermann is the reason I started watching MSNBC. His take on Fox News (Bill O'Reilly was always the Worst Person In the World..every single night) was way ahead of its time. I also remember him from the very early days of ESPN. The media reaction to The Twins' humiliating themselves has been surreal. I wonder if the less toadying of the KYV members will desert? It would be like waking up on Christmas morning as a child and finding a pony under the tree. Or as a Senior Citizen of a certain age... waking up beside Paul McCartney...my first real crush.

The Christmas Letter movie last night? I almost turned it off, 10 minutes in.It was that terrible. But stuck with it and I (almost ashamedly) have to admit that I loved it! The young actor playing one of the leads was really handsome and played the what-have-I-gotten-myself-into part really well. The plot made no real sense and was mostly farce, but it made me smile/laugh quite a bit. That is all I ask from these movies. I have only liked a few of them so far this year. And I am really tired of the reruns that are rerun - seemingly at least once a week. Hallmark has been making Christmas movies for years and years. How about putting some older movies back in rotation? I mean, if you are going to start Christmas movies before Halloween...have a little respect for your viewers.

I wish I could quote everyone's comments and applaud. I saw the news of The Twins about-face (putting it kindly) on Mediate. I think Oakville's comment on Joe being the Neville Chamberlain of cable talk show hosts is one of my favorites because it made me snicker and pissy at the same time. Joe is an opportunist with a massive ego to boot. Surely the network would not make The Twins do the turnaround...would they? Joe is bigger than the network! I wonder if any other hosts will get onboard the Surrender Dorothy Train. David Iggy saying that Tulsi and Pete don't have government experience... is his only concern about them? Joe wants viewers to read The New York Post? I think this is one of the most egregious, insulting things he has ever said. That is who he thinks we are. And this I will never, ever be okay with.

I saw the play (in Raleigh, NC) about six/seven years ago and thought I might go to the movie. Until those horrible Target commercials with the shrieking customers. Nails on a chalkboard. But I think most people will love it, especially during the holidays. Also - it seems kind of like an obvious money grab to make it into two movies.

Now this has made my day/week! Thank you thank you. One of the funniest things anyone has ever said on this Board. I will keep it close when I need a good laugh….especially when I go to the dentist. Still laughing.

Shetland (BritBox) is wonderful. I really miss Jimmy Perez as lead detective but don't mind the new detective all that much. It is hard to get used to cast changes. She was previously in a light-hearted mystery series ... Agatha Raisin? I watched White Chapel while visiting my son and liked it. He has Prime so I binged while he was at work. I also like Bosch - read all the books.

I would not be surprised if they go to Fox. Think about it .. Joe is a true Conservative (in a hushed, revered tone); and would relish being able to bloviate on his years in Congress. Mika would probably have to go back to the sheath dresses and stilettos. Maybe she can take her KYV schtick with her. We all win. Claire....have you met this recent group of Senators?

We should not root for a demise of Phyllis. That would be wrong. I would say a head wound resulting in amnesia, but....it would be drawn out for years. Maybe she could lose the use of her windmill arms for awhile; just until Who Killed Heather gets solved without her. Or my favorite - her speech would be impacted - she would be unable to do her repetitive dialogue/remarks thing. And her hair would be cut into a short bob. Just for a little while? Please. New Executive Producer? A soap nation turns its lonely eyes to. you. woo woo woo

His cousin? No no no. I love the old ones. The show isn't as much fun as it used to be. Murdering priests, bell ringers, bird watchers, people being done in by catapaulting wine bottles; run over by huge, rolling circles of cheese. And a victim discovered lying, tied down, in a picture perfect miniature English village. Like Gulliver.

I stream both BritBox and Acorn. Nothing beats bizarre murders in quaint English villages (Midsomer - which I have watched from the beginning). I wonder how long it will take Joe and friends to pivot away from the constant blame game. Yesterday's show (the Maureen Dowd focus) was maybe the low point.

For me it is "Murder She Wrote" that runs on a 24/7 loop...on Freevee and The Roku Channel. It is comforting; maybe it is the intro music. I turned MJ on this morning; there they were, all of their Talking Heads in their little squares. Begone! All of you. John Stewart was masterful in his take down.
