I didn’t see the end of the match live, but from the clips it looked to me that Frances didn’t go OTT celebrating. In fact the ESPN hosts mentioned that. I have to say that from what I’ve seen Alcaraz, whom I also like, does a lot more fist pumping these days.
Anyway congrats to Tiafoe. Big win for him.
So Chris McEndry twice said that “younger players” beat the top two seeds?
Kyrgios is older than Medvedev.

I saw on the web that a Season 9 is in the works.

The heat advisory that was supposed to expire tonight has been extended to tomorrow night. The temps will dip all the way down to the mid to high 80s later this week. Just kill me now.
They are projecting a high of 97 tomorrow in New York City. Seriously, I think this will be about the fifth day in a row of this.

Is the permanent daylight savings thing a done deal? I thought it had to be passed by the House after it ran through the Senate with no opposition (because some people weren't there or weren't paying attention). Personally I hate the idea. If they want to get rid of the time change I think it should be standard all year.
Growing up and in fact most of my life I would have said that summer was my favorite time of year, and the point about getting dark early is a good one, I just hate it when it's dark at 4 pm or so. But to add to the other comments above, these recent heat waves in the Northeast (I'm in NYC) are just horrible and it's far from over. I had thought I was going to have to replace my "portable" AC (the kind with the hose that goes to the window) because it was barely cooling at all but when I went to replace the filters I found that the hose had come loose. Fixed that, and now I'm fine in the apartment more or less but hate the idea of going out in this cement city.

Have we seen the undertaker in a previous episode? He looked really familiar. I like what TPTB have done with Gina over the past few episodes. They have completely turned her around once she stopped lusting after Mike.
I enjoy this show a lot. I hope that they continue to make more episodes.
Yes I seem to remember the undertaker from Over Her Dead Body in which the famous poet faked his death and a young woman's body was found in his casket.
I like the progress with Gina's character also. I hope that if Mike and Beth break up she doesn't go back to stalking him.
I believe a Season 9 is in the works for this show.

I don't know why Panu isn't available, but I think with COVID's latest variant being more readily transmissible and cases worldwide are increasing again, the actor portraying Mrs. Marlowe may be waiting until it's safer to come back to work (she is a senior citizen and thus in a higher risk category). Still, at least we get Frodo to provide some comic relief and fill in some character/town backstory as needed.
I happened to visit the show’s website which linked to their Facebook page. There was a post there stating that Elizabeth McCrae, who plays Mrs. Marlowe, decided to leave the show after Season Seven. Sad to read but apparently she is fine, maybe retiring.
She will be missed! She really provided some of the most memorable moments of the show.
I wasn’t too impressed with the nugget episode either, the leading female guest stars were pretty dull I agree though I liked Missy and her comical run ins with Chalmers - is there a future between those two? - and I also like what they are doing with Gina accepting Mike having Beth in his life, and Gina suddenly befriending Kristen in response. Nice twist.

remind me who jared is, not breen. i was very disappointed that there are only 3 episodes to season 8.
There are 6 episodes scheduled for Season 8 according to this page
Jared was played by Pana Hemu Taylor, he did some work for Mike at his home and was often featured in various episodes though not as a detective. He did help out Mike in solving some questions though, for instance in The Dark Angel.

Given Mike's multiple marriage history it's certainly possible he has a child that hasn't been mentioned previously. There has been mention of his sister and nephew before.
I miss Jared also! I don't think he's made an appearance since the duck episode.

No appearances from any of the semi regulars in Season 8, Episode 3. The story did have some interesting characters, but not a whole lot of humor unfortunately.
A nice guest dog though!
I miss Mrs. Marlowe also, perhaps they are still taking precautions due to Covid with older cast members.

Actually yes @shapeshifter Part D does have a deductible. What I get is timolol 0.5 gfs, gel solution, 90 days worth. I think there is a generic version out there but I am not sure what it is, I will have to ask the doctor.
@StatisticalOutlier I checked and my last wellness visit aka physical back in November was no charge to me. As far as the supplement goes I've only had it since May 1, so it hasn't applied to all my claims but I will see what happens for the ones that haven't actually charged me yet. There may be a deductible involved there also.

Do you have Part D or a secondary insurance covering drugs?
Yes, I have Part D and also a discount drug card that came with Part G. Neither seems to help. Thanks
The eye drops cost is still a mystery. I may ask the eye doctor about it next time I see him.

Just one comment about the annual physical under Medicare. The first time I had mine with my doctor, the office apparently didn't code it as a "wellness visit" which is what Medicare insists on calling it. They tried to charge me over $500. I notified the office and after some wrangling the fee was reduced to the very small "wellness" charge.
No problem since. I do live in New York by the way, in regard to some of the other issues.
I've recently had a couple of xrays and an ultrasound to figure out why I was having a lot of pain in my left thigh and am being charged very little although whether Part G is helping there I'm not sure. (The pain is much less since I've had a lot of PT fortunately.)
Drug costs are outrageous I agree. I take eyedrops (timolil) and can't get anyone to fill it for less than $100 though I swear they used to be closer to $10. Fortunately the little bottles last a very long time.

I'm tempted to get the AMC+ because of the British series "This Is Going to Hurt" but I'm undecided.
I do wish they had a sale on some channels like MHZ that carry foreign shows.
MHZ is having a special 50 percent off sale right now

I've watched only Season 8 Episode 1, tonight. Enjoyable comeback episode. I have to say that the extended opening featuring the return of the Oades boys had me thinking of Larry, Daryl and Daryl. That said, I did like the way the story ultimately played out. It was interesting without being too obvious although I strongly suspected the guilty party well ahead of time.
I miss Mrs. Marlowe as well! I hope she will be returning. I have to say though that I always love a scene with the dreaded attorney Dennis Buchanan, I just find him hilarious although he didn't have as many classic lines as in the past.
As far as the message on Mike's phone goes, I hope/think it's not from Gina. He still seems awkward in her presence for good reason!

Am I losing my mind or were McEnroe and Fowler praising Joker for handling "off the court" issues this year?
You mean refusing to get vaccinated against Covid like every other player, going out in public after testing positive, lying to trying to get into Australia after said refusal, that kind of thing?
How can they make statements like that with a straight face? How is any of that not totally his doing?
By the way under current US law he will still not be eligible to play the US Open, are they going to try to make that not his fault as well?
Sorry for Sinner, but I do think the young players have a great disadvantage in the lack of experience in best of 5 matches. Maybe the experience will come with time.

Here's the BBC clip of the parade of champions event.
It was so great for me to see Borg, Edberg and Federer especially! So many great memories. It seemed odd to me at first that they started with one time champions, two time champions but then it made sense as it built up to Roger the 8 time champ. Sad that Martina the 9 time champ got Covid and couldn't make it.
It did seem so random to see Martina Hingis who was once so dominant next to Goran the ultimate out of nowhere champ. Nice though to see Petra, Simona and Angie Kerber though only Simona's still in the event. Of all the clips the most memorable was probably Jana Novatna crying on the Duchess' shoulder. At least she came back to win in a later year.
Venus looked great! Too bad she and Jamie Murray lost that close match in the mixed.

@laredhead, if I remember correctly it was implied that they were former lovers. Usually the best thing to do is to re-watch any scene with Mrs. Marlowe, she always seems to reveal the relevant gossip especially about past events.
Looking forward to seeing this show again! Not all mysteries can combine humor with sympathetic characters as this one does.

I didn't see the match but Bublik is certainly known for...shall we say uneven play to the max. And he has admitted not loving tennis. As far as I know underarm serves are not technically against the rules though.
I did see Alcarez again today and it's stunning how quickly he is adapting his game to grass. I can see him someday turning into an absolutely dominant player without ever becoming boring.

I like Iga a lot, but I would really love to see Petra Kvitova make the comeback by winning her third Wimbledon title. After what she went through with the attack on her hand, it would be amazing. She won a warmup event so I don't think it's out of the question.
Sad about Felix AA going out already.
Glad to see Alcarez is still in the event after the loss of so many promising players early on. Carlos does bring the excitement.

I just read about Berrettini - who had just won 2 straight warmup tournaments - and Cilic. It is so unfortunate. Both former finalists who had a serious chance to go far.
The important thing is that both of them apparently self reported their Covid cases. It is being stated that both were in close contact with other players.
Will Wimbledon institute daily testing? I think they should.

Watching Season 2 of Capitaine Marleau on MHZ, there was an entertaining episode (Sang et lumière or Blood and Light) guest starring David Suchet as a retired Scotland Yard detective who offers to help Marleau when the journalist wife of a small town mayor goes missing.
Marleau seems to get reassigned to a different town in every episode! I am not sure if this was ever explained in the beginning but I guess it keeps the variety in the scenery and the guest casts going.

I just saw an ad on Acorn that the new Brokenwood Mysteries series airs July 1. I think they go week to week on this show if I recall correctly (and I may not).
Great news, thanks!

Yes this show was never terribly deep but they seem to have gone over to the looney side in the writing.

I’m in the anyone but Kyrgios camp as well especially after the accusations that have come out against him. I’d like to see any of Tiafoe, Berrettini Or Alcaraz take it. I wonder what will happen between Alcaraz and Sinner. Carlos has had a lot of losses lately to the Italians, including in the final back in July to my fave young player Lorenzo Musetti. Will Sinner keep It going or will Carlos break through?
The women’s side looks exciting as well especially if we get a new champion although I like Iga. Coco or Ons would be exciting.
