Thanks for the info @ElectricBoogaloo. I was hoping sooner but it looks like April it is.

Does anyone know when the show will start on US Netflix? I thought I saw next month? Thanks

@WendyCR72 and @peacheslatour, thanks for the info about the French version of CI on Youtube! I might have read about it years ago but if I did I completely forgot. Maybe my high school French will help a little but if the episodes resemble the originals that much I'd like to try and see them anyway and see how well I can follow along. Will take a look. Edit: Wow, thanks for that clip above @WendyCR72, it looks good!

I think Goren just got the perp to confess in Vacancy, if I remember correctly. I can see why you feel that way about No Exit, it's certainly depressing, but I think it was one of the episodes that made me realize what superior television this show was at its best. One hard hitting scene after another.

I haven't watched this show for awhile, but I noticed today that it's re-running on WOR Channel 9 in NYC. I think they are on Season 3. I'm going to have Tivo record some episodes. Sorry to have missed In the Wee Small Hours. I agree also, it's one of my favorite episodes. As far as breaking up the 2 hour version goes, my problem with that is that they always seem to break it up exactly at the point where they've found the body in the marsh - exactly where you don't want it to stop. Great episode though, I agree all the cast gets a chance to shine. Some of my other favorites were from around that time - No Exit, one of the most depressing scenarios ever, but fascinating in that every character either is guilty, or (like the victim's parents) seem to look guilty of something, and a great courtroom scene with Carver. I also really liked Vacancy, maybe not a popular opinion, but the ending when Goren says "this search for the truth - it's not for the faint hearted" is one of my favorites. I do wish that Carver had stayed on, or that they had at least brought him back for the Season 10 wrap up. I think the show lost something when they dropped the DA role. I do agree that Season 10 was a good finale though, with Goren and Eames more like their season 1-5 selves, with his insight and her sense of humor more like before.

RIP Mr. Fletcher. I used to love the Whodini video for The Freaks Come Out at Night. It got a lot of play on a show called Video Music Box on NY Channel 25 back in the 1980s.

From the NY Times: Karen Killilea, 80, Dies; Turned Disability Into Triumph I remember reading her mother's book about her when I was growing up. Inspiring person, and the same can be said for her family of course.

I don't know. I've signed up for so many services and then tend to forget I have them. I got Netflix to see Kim's Convenience, but now that I've seen them all I may just cancel it. I don't find myself going back to it generally speaking. I haven't watched Acorn lately but I imagine I will eventually, I like a lot of their shows. I do have a cheap low level cable plan with Spectrum that allows you to select 12 cable channels in addition to their local news (NY1 herein New York, which I think is very professional) and all the over the air channels. I'm able to get Turner Classics for example, anyway the plan is fairly cheap and at least I'm not paying for all the channels I wasn't watching before on cable, or for that matter, on Youtube TV. I have a cable card with a Tivo so that way I can still record.

Thanks very much for that great article! I really liked Stephen's quote to the effect of serenity being more important than happiness. I hope his vertigo won't be a long term problem.

Isn't that when Stephen played the nerdy store manager trying to help Obama find a new job?

I just noticed that Barney Miller is playing on the Roku Channel, Seasons 7 and 8 I believe. I didn't check to see if there are a lot of commercials though I imagine there may be.

Thanks for starting this show thread! I think Green Acres coming as it did in the late 60s, seemed to miss being noticed at the time for its rural-based surrealism. It wasn't just Arnold the pig, the "son" of the Ziffels, who would get drafted among other adventures, but one character would come up with a nonsensical word or phrase and everyone Oliver would run into would casually repeat it. Not to mention Lisa's square eggs, and the episode which opens with her asking Oliver about all the names floating in space above their bedroom (the shows' opening credits). Certainly this show had an influence down the line to the rural weirdness of Larry, Darryl and Darryl of Newhart, and Hank Yarbo of Corner Gas. Great show.

Route 66 has been playing on the Retro Subchannel recently. It airs in the New York area as a channel 33 sub (WJLP) so it may be available elsewhere.

I just tuned in to see Stephen's monologue. It was so brilliant and eloquent on so many levels. Especially the parts about reality and about "wrestling with the pig". And funny as well! I agree, so good to see him so happy.

Thanks so much @A coin in the hand. I had thought I heard something to that effect but wasn't sure.

Thanks @Irlandesa, I think if I remember which episode it was - either 7 or 8 - I will check again with the captions on. I'm not clear whether they intend to have a Season Two, maybe it's COVID related at this point. Though there were some loose ends left you could say, but I wouldn't call them actual cliff hangers. I just found out that Shakespeare and Hathaway is showing Season 3 on Britbox. I watched the first episode. These are fun, about as lightweight as a mystery can be but if you are in the mood for something with a fair amount of humor and a good cast it's a fun way to pass the time.

I see that a couple of you have been watching The Sounds here. I've just binged watched the entire 8 episodes over the last week. There certainly were a lot of twists that kept me watching, though not all of the ones I might have expected. I won't try to give away too much, except to say, yes, poor Ryan. But also - and this doesn't become obvious I think until the end, but I really think that Esther turns out to be the most interesting character. And credit to Emily Piggford who pulls off playing her so well. If I may ask a definite spoiler question - I had trouble with some of the accents so I am still wondering

I agree on both counts. I really enjoy the show, I discovered it after someone on a Corner Gas sub on reddit recommended it as another fine Canadian show, and I certainly think the whole cast is great. But yes the more the series goes on the worse they seem to portray Jung. Just because he's cute, does he have to become so dumb? He seemed reasonably intelligent in Season one, but for some reason they seem to be dumbing him down to contrast with Janet "the smart one". Can't they both have brains? I disliked Shannon in the beginning, but the actress really sells the funny awkwardness to the point where I don't mind her, but yes the workplace romance thing is not really realistic. I also like Kimchee, and Appa and Umma are great. The actress who plays Janet is very good, but I enjoy her scenes in the store more than those with her friends etc at the apartment.

I just started watching The Sounds and I like it a lot! I have binged the first 3 episodes and I like that I can't really tell where it's going (not to give anything away). But I do think that the mystery (which I guess will be self contained in these 8 episodes) seems to be complex and not just one story. I noticed a writing credit on the second show for Tim Balme who is a frequent writer on Brokenwood.

I havent even watched Iga but I will root for her because I cant stand Kenin’s behavior. She seems to be the ultimate bad winner. I dont know if her crazy dad is partly to blame but all I can say is go Iga.

Great news! I really hope Brokenwood keeps going as long as possible. They have really kept the quality high and all the actors are great, including the semi regulars like “Frodo” and “Mrs. Marlowe”.

I really hope Petra will win this. It would be such an amazing story after she suffered that terrible attack and slow clay isn’t even her best surface. To add the French to her two Wimbledon titles would be so great for her after all she went through.

There's a local Over-the-Air Channel, WJLP from New Jersey (though I believe they now broadcast from NYC as I get them in perfectly in Manhattan) who have been broadcasting Me-TV (on channel 33.1) for the last several years, and around a year ago I found out that they also simulcast a delightful oldies station which goes heavy on the 50s and 60s on channel 33.14. To my surprise, they have added the Retro Channel on 33.5. This channel is carrying all kinds of classic shows from Naked City and Route 66 to the Soupy Sales Show. Unfortunately the Soupy Shows are not the classic black and white 60s shows that Soupy ran from New York back in my childhood; those were said to have been mostly destroyed despite their great popularity at the time (in spite of their shoestring budget). Still it's fun to see these 70s shows with a similar spirit.

He posted that he just got a negative result a few hours ago so I believe that means the last 24 hours? Clearly he should not have played although he said that his physio did inform the FFT doctors of his symptoms at some point prior to the match as I understand it. I do think that if the FFT had used protocols as strict as the USTA's situations like this could have been avoided. Also I read that Thiem was feeling unwell yesterday - stomach issue? -though I hope it's nothing serious.

He has since tested negative. Why they are not testing players daily before each match (and on off days) I have no idea.
