wonderwoman

my feelings exactly. absolutely could not finished episodes 6 and 7. i liked the first, but the final episode was so worth for all the reasons mentioned above.

not sure if this is the right thread, but according to a 'tonight show' promo, ice t and mariska will be guests this week (not sure which night). expecting an extravagant display of obsequious ass-kissing (i know, i know: redundent:)

and, iirc, for a while, in real life, as well.

Austin Peck! I knew him as Brad Synder on As the World Turns." He looked so familiar, but I missed the credits and couldn't place him, Thanks.

among the items packed up from sessions's desk, was a photo of baldwin's trump. wonder if it's goodbye to him, as well?

I agree. His character has always lived on the edge but now he's out of control. Even at the dinner table he's a jerk. I wish Jamie had finished the conversation at the end of the show and called him out. IRL, he'd have been thrown off the force, if not arrested.

loved bryan fuller's other shows (pushing daisies and wonderfalls) so i was excited when i came across this on amazon prime. in episode 4, george was figuring out why a..holes seemed to be treated better than nice people; closing out the requisite clips of a..holes (hilter, idi amin) was none other than our current a..hole-in-chief. that show is from the early 2000s, so how prescient was bryan fuller?

rarely watch 'blue bloods,' but tuned in tonight and saw michael park as a disgruntled cop. eta: forgot to mention that scott bryce was on law and order svu last night.

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0519043/ Thanks for the link. Had to scroll for a bit until I came to "Ed," a show I absolutely loved.

loved Rainbow's coral shirtwaist dress -- a real throwback to June Cleaver, minus the pearls:)

and what a treat it was to see Holly Taylor, who was so good in "The Americans," as Maddie.

Over at AWHP, Eddie Drueding just posted a fascinating piece about the myths surrounding the creation of Another World. Particularly interesting is how Irna Phillips retold her own story through the Pat Matthews abortion story. http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/anotherworldcreation.htm

at the risk of appearing shallow, what the hell was that necklace candance bergen was wearing last night?

nbc is airing the paley center 'this is us' panel on tuesday, 18 september 2 10pm, eastern time.

I think many shows new seasons are starting next week and there wouldn't have been room for Elementary. not sure of your point. i was suggesting that cbs run the elementary season finale last night, the 16th -- instead of a ncis la rerun -- which wouldn't have interferred with rolling out the new season.

cannot understand why cbs is airing this episode opposite the emmys. annoyed as i am with nbc for pushing the emmys to monday, i at least understand the logic, given the ratings football draw. but, the logic of cbs's decision to air a ncis la rerun instead of elementary's season finale eludes me.

of course, before he was on ATWT, Cass was on Another World. And yes, it was a nice surprise that it turned out to be the landlord.

just saw this: https://deadline.com/2018/08/this-is-us-season-3-premiere-paley-center-special-nbc-sterling-k-brown-mandy-moore-milo-ventimiglia-dan-fogelman-1202453706/

some thoughts on the reboot from james poniewozik @ the ny times: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/22/arts/television/roseanne-the-conners-abc.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=mini-moth&region=top-stories-below&WT.nav=top-stories-below

yeah, lots of tears this year. but, this is how the in memorium segment should be done, with the main focus on those who've passed. the oscars drive me nuts. between showcasing whoever's performing and some "creative" camera work, some years it's impossible to see the names. here's hoping that the oscar producers might take note.

nice to see lien (ming na wen) and adam (mathew morrison) hughes on tonight's tony's

would love to hear what the rest of the cast really thinks. say, after a couple of drinks and off the record -- no recording devices allowed...

Interesting meta throwback to a web series from a few years back, Blue, part of WIGS, sadly, no longer streaming anywhere. Anyway, Blue was about a high-priced call girl played by Julia Stiles. In the episode, 'You're Good," Tony Plana (the Air Force general) played a client who wore a diaper as he was treated like a baby.

when i binged-watched the 4th season, i already knew the show had been cancelled, which may have colored my perception, but while the final episode could have functioned as a season finale, it had the feeling of a series finale -- and a relatively satisfying one, at that. all of the characters had grown, emotionally and professionally. that said, i would have loved to see when a 5th season would have led them.
