Why can't Tom Hanks be the host??

The games are still broadcast on free TV in the local market, so you probably got the Baltimore channel. We have the DC channels, so we didn't have it on free TV.

I wouldn't mind this so much if the sideline reporter asked some interesting questions. But we really don't need to hear "how did you feel?" because really, what's he gonna say? Terrible?? Yay Philly! (Something I never thought I'd say...) ETA: I briefly considered trying to get tickets to the Series, but then remembered I'd be in Philly sitting with Phillies fans. Nothing personal @shoregirl, but I've done that before, and...no thanks.

I can't imagine they were told beforehand. They don't want to cancel the game unless it's absolutely necessary. And besides, they have a captive audience for overpriced concessions. I've never been to a rainy game where we've been let go early.

More baseball is always better. Right? Right?? Sigh...............

This was definitely the best episode of the season so far. I laughed at almost all of the sketches. Fortunately, there were no sound issues on my recording. MTS was totally into it and really enjoyable. And so ends my reasonable critique that I know everyone was waiting for 😄

Sorry - watching baseball tonight (and even now!). I'll try to come up with a reasoned critique after I watch. I like MTS and am looking forward to it.

So...the day wasn't all bad...

I know! What the hell happened to him? He used to be good at his job. I haven't heard him do games in years, and when I tuned in the other night, I was...unpleasantly surprised. He's really stiff. And uninteresting. This makes me sad.

Dammit...

Then you missed the best parts... it was quite a show.

I think the hearings were over around 3:30 and the show doesn't tape till 5-5:30, so we're probably good.

Heard on the BBC Newshour this morning: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0d6r704

A coup about nothing. Heh

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO She will always have a special place in my heart because my dad had a super crush on Jessica Fletcher. Not Angela herself, but Jessica. Bless his heart. She was a great talent.

Honestly, nothing to envy about that... 😄 We usually grab the remote as quickly as possible when he shows up on the TV. One of his more "famous" bits around here is the "Pat Collins Snow Stick" - which is just a yardstick he uses to measure the snow. Because when an inch of snow falls in DC, life stops. I'm so proud he's getting the national attention he deserves. Or something.

At least something went well today.

Robert Brown died in September and I just found out. Although my crush was Bobby Sherman, I really loved him in "Here Come the Brides". Damn... https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/robert-brown-dead-here-come-the-brides-1235231988/

Thanks for bumping this up. I've been to a couple of shows and thought about posting, but wasn't sure anyone cared... 😄 But... since you do... I need to update the lineup for the Outlaw Fest last summer. Stugill took ill (boo), so Tyler Childers subbed in. He was...fine, but kinda boring. This summer, we've seen the current tour of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss (as good, if not better than the first one!), Lyle Lovett with Chris Isaak (a little too much Chris and not quite enough Lyle), Paul Thorn (loved him!) and Billy Bragg (also love him). We have tickets to see Mandy Patinkin in January. Looking forward to it.

To your spouse, or the dog? 😉

That was 12 hours of baseball today - yay! And, at least there's one game tomorrow. All in all, a pretty good day.

What a fantastic day of baseball - and it's only half over! (sorry @cleo)

I've always said that if I were starving to death and the only place to get food was Hooters, I'd just go ahead and starve to death.

I saw this (not the show, the article) and it always makes me happy to see Victor. If he was in the show, I'd have to go. As it is, I can skip it.

I'm sure the whole thing was pre-planned. That said, I totally agree with your points about the mask and the questions. And most of all, about Stephen not getting his shot! I was thinking if he'd gotten one, he may not have been able to do the show today (I had more pronounced side-effects this time than the other 4 shots). but since he dodged the needle, we don't have to worry about that. Mr. ebk tried to do a walk-in to the CVS (in MD) near us and was turned away. They said they do flu shots without an appointment, but not Covid. He made an appointment, so it's all good.
