Commercials That Annoy, Irritate or Outright Enrage
Cobb Salad replied to Maverick's topic in Commercials
I liked it at first I’ve seen it so many times now I’m sick of it. On Sunday this channel I was watching aired it 3x during a commercial break. Then the next commercial break they showed it twice. I was ready to change the channel. Now when it comes up I can’t mute the TV fast enough. -

This was a ‘meh’ episode. Another foot chase? Yawn. Really thought for a second it wouldn’t happen. So if the accused really did murder Maroun’s sister all those years ago I’d find it hard to believe there weren’t other victims in between. He had such an annoying smirk so good job by the actor. If Maroun is still there in the DA’s office next year I guess we won’t hear about the dead sister again? Personally if I were in her position and my coworker asked me if I was involved with someone’s murder I’m not sure if I would want to work with them again. I’m not a fan of when the show does story arcs about one of the characters’ personal life, but when they do they should be keeping their facts straight like other posters have noted. In this episode it was like they needed a dilemma so the writers decided to revive the dead sister story without doing their research.

This Just In: New, Cancelled, Returning, And On-Hiatus Shows News
Cobb Salad replied to Kromm's topic in Everything Else TV
I caught a few episodes of the Night Court reboot in the beginning but couldn’t get in to it like the original. I never watched any of the other shows so no loss for me. I’m happy Law and Order got renewed. -
I remember this well. I don’t have Netflix so I won’t be watching - not sure if there’s anyone here who’s unfamiliar with this story so -

The Curious Case Of Natalia Grace
Cobb Salad replied to SunnyBeBe's topic in Investigation Discovery
Agree 100% plus I’ll say again both Michael and Kristine Barnett should consider themselves lucky they’re not sitting in prison for what they did to Natalia. That woman Sue is a stubborn whackadoodle who you will see again if you decide to watch the follow up episodes after Natalia’s true age is verified. -
Naked and Afraid XL - General Discussion
Cobb Salad replied to seasick's topic in Naked and Afraid XL
Trish and Suz-ahn. Ugh. No Jeff? How did that happen? I’ll skip this one. -
I won’t be watching. I used to watch SVU ages ago but I stopped when it seemed like in most episodes Stabler was going off on a suspect way too much. I’ll likely be watching some true crime show on either ID or Oxygen. Maybe there will be a movie on I’d like to watch. Who knows.

“The Lights of Zetar” is a must miss for me when they show it because of the screechy Mira and how Scotty is falling all over her for the entire episode. Then we never see her again, which is typical of shows like this back in the day. The premise of these hostile disembodied beings floating around space seems like an interesting story though. It could have been done better but it being the 3rd season we got a mess instead. Edited to add - after thinking about this idea some more, I realized there was a Next Generation episode with a similar premise that was much better and more suspenseful - Power Play from Season 5, episode 15.
-
Even though it seems like every episode now has to have a foot chase at least this one had an important role in the rest of the episode.
-
This is also a problem with the airings on Sundance/WE/BBC America as none of them show Homicide. It’s not even worth the time to watch the L&O part of the episode in that case.

Yeah, when they talked about the facial recognition I knew it was going to be a problem. I read a book about Clearview AI (the facial recognition company who has had contracts with law enforcement) and its problematic history. It included a story about a black man who was wrongly accused of a crime and he had to fight tooth and nail to prove his innocence. Then they didn’t show the video. Couldn’t they have shown it and let the jury agree or disagree that it’s the defendant? I wasn’t convinced by the witness statement that the program they use is better than what’s been used in the past, how? There’s still going to be a margin of error, I think there will always will be one.

I agree. Hadn’t seen Laura in a while so I figured she was done with the show. When the skinny guy was talking about his metabolism and his inability to gain weight I was wondering if he’d quit. Hasn’t he ever watched the show? Just about everyone loses weight over the 21 days. I loved that even though they didn’t do so well regarding finding food there was no arguing and drama. Those iguanas were pretty quick and good at hiding. Liked seeing the turtles, too bad they couldn’t catch one. Their sleeping on the dock made me nervous though.
-
I don’t know about how well the ratings are vs other network shows but as far as NBC’s decision to renew or not would also depend on what they’d replace it with if they were considering cancellation. Seems like some other shows in the list have more of a chance to be cancelled that Law and Order. I saw the other day that the newest Law and Order series Organized Crime will be on Peacock. I wonder if that was due to no room on NBC’s schedule or something else.

I didn’t notice but in reading through some of the comments on Reddit someone said box turtles are endangered - maybe that was why it was different? You make a good point with the scarcity of opportunity to find food, they didn’t seem to be too far from civilization. Those first nights where Jenny was afraid of the coyotes and their howling I was thinking about hearing some of those same noises when I have my windows open overnight during the summer. When she was talking about her fear I figured she wasn’t long for the challenge. Then days later when Allison was sounding defeated I’m wondering if Steven wasn’t there to give moral support if she would have tapped as well. Of anyone of the legends to do this challenge with 2 newbies he’s one of the few I’d want to see due to his attitude (Max is another one). Usually I’m not crazy when people toot their own horn a lot but he has proven over and over he is “kind of a big deal”, lol.

Leave It To Beaver - General Discussion
Cobb Salad replied to Meredith Quill's topic in Leave It To Beaver
Yeah, especially for the number of times Beaver got egged on by his supposed friends do stupid things and get in trouble. You’d think he’d learn. One example: the episode “In the Soup”. -
The Curious Case Of Natalia Grace
Cobb Salad replied to SunnyBeBe's topic in Investigation Discovery
Very likely unless there’s something very egregious going on like a death or severe malnutrition similar to a case here in NJ a number of years ago. That doesn’t seem to be the case here. -
The Curious Case Of Natalia Grace
Cobb Salad replied to SunnyBeBe's topic in Investigation Discovery
I watched a few minutes of the segment that started at 8 pm last night when Natalia was “escaping”. That text message response from Cynthia asking “will I still be the payee on your checks” was interesting as well as the comments that Beth Karas (the legal expert) made about that. For someone to just leave after being part of the family for 10+ years and ask about money right off the bat tells me that the Mans only saw Natalia as an additional money source and didn’t genuinely care about her welfare first. If the allegations about abuse are true, I hope someone is looking into that given there’s other children in that house. A lot of their income seems to be linked to having all of these foster children. To not close the money part of the story in the end was sloppy. I assume she did but who knows. I too hope this is the end of the ID Channel shows. -
The Curious Case Of Natalia Grace
Cobb Salad replied to SunnyBeBe's topic in Investigation Discovery
She’s of a legal age so I don’t get this whole running off in the middle of the night thing. I wish her the best but there’s something not right about all of this. Just wondering if money (like her disability checks and whatever else) is involved here and the Mans wouldn’t have liked it if she went to them to say she wants to live somewhere else. I’m not sure I’ll watch the series this week. I guess it’ll depend on what else is on at that time. -
The Twilight Zone - General Discussion
Cobb Salad replied to Ronin Jackson's topic in The Twilight Zone
It’s also on Heroes and Icons. -
Do they plan to watch an episode? If I met someone who has never seen an episode of Seinfeld I’m not sure which one to recommend except to say try watching a bunch of episodes if you happen to see it on TV or streaming. Jason Alexander co hosts a podcast “Really No Really” and the other day they had their Festivus episode where they interviewed the episode writer whose Father inspired the episode:

I think as homeowners they should have been asking about that during the buying process plus having it addressed as a condition of closing. You’d think if you’re moving in to a house with children you’d want them to be able to play in the backyard.
-
Meanwhile with all of the calls these people were making to the police there was one less unit available for a real emergency. It’s ridiculous to expect the police to really do anything like in the situations shown in last night’s episode except to tell them to stop it. The best rule here is mind your own business when it involves activities other people are doing on their own property. It might be hard for some people but if they don’t like what’s going on across the street, just don’t look in that direction. It’s not that hard. What I was curious about was the comment the one woman made about their backyard that it had all these holes in it - how did that happen? I guess it wasn’t due to the nature of the ground there like a sinkhole or they shouldn’t be living there at all.
-
Yeah, I’d sympathize with the guy to a point if he was annoyed about the neighbors having parties or whatever and inviting their friends over who’d park all over the place but to keep losing it over and over because they were parking where they were just as entitled to as he was was just ridiculous. Then for him to call the police so they’d issue parking tickets was just as bad. I’m sure the city of Baltimore was happy to get the money. You’re in the city! Parking is already a challenge there! It’s a crime the case hasn’t been settled. He belongs in prison.

The only thing I can come up with is to keep him from talking although with some quick thinking maybe Reggie could be silenced some other way other than murdering him. I thought it was a bit extreme as well.
