Not that this conversation isn't on topic, but in case anyone is interested in the documentary, there's a thread in the Netflix forum to discuss further:

This is absolutely heartbreaking.

Shit. I mean, I know he wasn't well, but... shit.

If he really cared, he'd sell the team.

I also loved her dress during the good-nights. Fabulous! I thought the show was pretty good. I think I laughed more than I have recently. Bowen was on fire tonight in everything he did. WU was great. I loved the song/jokes in the monologue. It wasn't perfect, but much better than the end of last season. Great to see everyone here again. Hope you all had a nice summer!

Indeed, but my main complaint was the writing (and, as usual, my writing wasn't so clear...). I'm kinda tired of old, out-of-it, hair-sniffing Joe.

The makeup was the best yet. The characterization... not so much.

When I worked at the theatre, I'd often run into actors while visiting NY and it was "right face, wrong place" for some of them. I was amused.

Living right between Baltimore and DC, my second team was always the Senators. And DC managed to lose 2 Senators teams. Okay, I'm not quite old enough to actually remember when the first team left for Minneapolis, so I don't hate the Twins (unless they beat us this weekend), but I will always hate the Rangers. And then there were the Colts. I'll never root for Indianapolis. Or Denver, for that matter. Blame Elway for that. I love a lifelong, deep Sports Grudge!

Just call me grandma... 😄

I'm watching the pre-game and everyone is so sad. Including me. Barry Zito with the Anthem.

Postseason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's the tread on BroadwayWorld: https://forum.broadwayworld.com/thread/THE-HILLS-OF-CALIFORNIA-Previews Here are a few threads on All That Chat: https://www.talkinbroadway.com/allthatchat_new/d.php?id=2604891 https://www.talkinbroadway.com/allthatchat_new/d.php?id=2604790 https://www.talkinbroadway.com/allthatchat_new/d.php?id=2604497 Both boards use 15th century technology. I spend more time (and even post occasionally) on BroadwayWorld. All That Chat is incredibly scattered and difficult for me to navigate, so I just check in sometimes is there's something I'm looking for. Hope you enjoy the show. If you feel like it, let us know what you think. Our next NY trip is in January and at the moment, we only have one show booked.

I can link a couple of theater message boards if you don't mind a few spoilers. There seem to be mixed reviews.

@mojoween, @ProudMary, @smittykinsand any other Yankee fans - NPR did a story on John Sterling yesterday. I haven't listened to it yet. I'll get around to it...someday... https://www.npr.org/2024/09/21/nx-s1-5108836/legendary-yankees-announcer-john-sterling-retires

Wow. I guess I'm glad I wasn't paying close attention. The AppleTV announcers are really quite bad.

The best part of this (not that @mojoweenwill care about this either) is the anchor on BBC News-The Context who, in the middle of the report on Ohtani's game last night, said "not that I understand any of this". And this was after the control booth had shown film of President Zelensky when she started reading the story, so she had to stop and start over again. I was highly amused.

Oh, wait - did I just clap for that? That was mean of me...

Well, he was a terrible pitcher...most of the time. However, sometimes he wasn't. 😉

Not a big Kevin Hart fan. I agree that it was the least successful Day Drinking segment so far. I really enjoyed the live after-debate special.

More Bowen Yang. 3 things: 1) The article is reeeeeally long. B) I haven't read the whole thing yet because it's really long (see 1), but the beginning is interesting. iii) I don't even know if anyone without a sub to The New Yorker can read this. I don't see a way to share. Bowen Yang is sorry he's not your clown today

Indeed he is.

Mr. ebk just said we should watch it! And so we will.

Thank you Jimmy Kimmel for saying Jon Stewart should be ashamed of himself! 😄 The In Memoriam was well done.

Henry Winkler is the best.
