2023 Call the Midwife Holiday Special to air on December 25, 2023. The Holiday Special begins two weeks before Christmas with Apollo 8 poised to circle the moon. Sister Monica Joan (Judy Parfitt) is convinced this could be her last Yuletide and decides she’ll not live to see man walk on the moon. The Nonnatus Family, including Trixie’s (Helen George) brother Geoffrey (Christopher Harper), decide something must be done to try and lighten her state of mind. Nancy (Megan Cusack) has recommitted to staying at Nonnatus House and Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter) has offered her and Colette (Francesca Fullilove) a room for the foreseeable future. Trixie and Matthew (Olly Rix), fresh from their honeymoon, are preparing their first Christmas together as husband and wife when Geoffrey pays them an unexpected visit days before Christmas. Cyril (Zephryn Taitte) gently intervenes when he discovers a lost soul living alone in a dilapidated basement flat. For this man, Christmas is a reminder of all he’s lost and all he’s never had. Nurse Crane (Linda Bassett), away on her refresher course, makes it home in time for Christmas festivities despite a treacherously heavy snowfall. Description from the PBS website.

Week 14: 5/5, no * YTD: 34/70, two * It's an (almost) Christmas miracle! Sea salt caramel popcorn for all! (I swear I posted this several hours ago, no idea what happened!)

Yes, Natalie mentioned that she lived a short distance (10 miles or 10 minutes?) from her. I thought Natalie still looked blond-ish, but I didn't see the stills referenced. I enjoyed the movie a lot. Until Adrian figured it out, I thought a lengthier bungee cord had been substituted, not that Gabriel's measuring tape had been switched out. It was fun figuring out some of the actors not from the original, like Richard Kind as the undertakers. And great to see so many of the actors from the original as well. Loved the ending, with so many of the cases Monk had solved expressing their gratitude to him, and a reminder of the deep freeze cases that still needed solving.

Yeah, I read it was mostly Botox. We saw him a few years back in concert, and his face wasn't like that nearly as much.

I loved Braugher in Homicide, Brooklyn 99, and Men of a Certain Age. And only 61! So sad. 😢

Special on NBC Monday night Dec. 11. A collection of Barry Manilow's holiday songs and hits with musicians and singers back up, it was fun and entertaining for Barry fans.

I watched this one because I like Kyra and Mo. I had no idea who Amanda was, but she was pretty impressive, and I'll look up to see what else she's been in. I kept wanting a stylist to come trim Kyra's bangs. Mo's hair is pretty wild, but it didn't bother me like Kyra's. Amanda looked really good If Mo continues to do well, he could win it all.

I loved watching the Riverdance challenge. At Busch Gardens, Williamsburg, VA there's a show that features Irish step dancing that is so fun to watch! I got to see a touring Riverdance troupe a long time ago. Exciting to watch the current dancers, and see the instructors; they were patient and kind.

Week 13 : 2/5, no * YTD: 29/65, two * Who wants eggnog? I do, so that's my offering this week!

I love this. It's hilarious!

Week 12 : 3/5, one * YTD: 27/60, two *

I screwed up beginning a couple of weeks ago. Actually, I should be at 24/55.

Week : 2/5, no * YTD: 20/50, one * My mom used to get root beer freezes at Dairy Queen. Root beer and their soft serve mixed in the shake machine. They are yummy!

I had already watched this version, but it's just as delightful - maybe more so - on second and subsequent watchings. I also enjoy the US version. I couldn't possibly choose a favorite!

Not sure of the timeline. Could Magnus’ involvement in the death/disappearance help explain Annika’s parents abrupt return when Annika was 16?

I just finished Series 6, Ep. 6, Where Humphrey decides to stay in London to be with Martha. I think this transition was handled much better than Richard to Humphrey, not the least because Humphrey wasn't killed off. I enjoyed the Commissioner overseeing JP. JP was so nervous but did well, and I was delighted he got a good evaluation.

I felt for Saul/Jacob trying to find his sister. All's well that ends well, I suppose. I just love Kumo. She has a lot of heart. Loved the reference to Magnum's mustache - who could forget Selleck's in OG Magnum PI?

Week 10 : 4/5, one * YTD: 22/50, two * "From previous weeks: "After 3 for week one, I've been very consistent with 2 per week. Hope I can improve!* I didn't improve, in fact I went down. :-("" I did improve this week. My best week this season! Not sure how that happened, but I'll take it!

I love it too, but I have to wonder how they get up out of their sleds at the bottom. I'd probably need EMS to get me out and on my feet!

I'm certain that Bella somehow hoodwinked Cecil, and eventually she'll be the sole owner. Lucien and Rose need to divorce. Her mother is a piece of work and did her no favors. I don't want L and Constance together either, but it might solve her dilemma with leaving her son behind.

I felt bad for Steve, but he should also have looked at the marker. Not sorry the sisters are .gone, but I'd rather it were Robbin & Chelsea. "Let's not help anyone, but let's follow the leaders."

Week : 1/5, no * YTD: 18/45, one * "From last week: After 3 for week one, I've been very consistent with 2 per week. Hope I can improve!* I didn't improve, in fact I went down. :-( Yep, me as well!

Week : 2/5, no * YTD: 17/40, one * After 3 for week one, I've been very consistent with 2 per week. Hope I can improve!

I was cheering for Chicago's Finest, but Team OK earned the winl It was a fun show, and I also think a second season would be good,

I just watched Season 1 Episode 1, and Michael says his kids are 8, 10 and 12. I thought we saw three at some point, but I can’t recall for sure.
