  1. Ugh! Sad news! McDonald & Dodds: Series cancelled by ITV after four series https://www.tvguide.co.uk/streaming-guide/mcdonald-and-dodds-series-cancelled-itv-no-series-five I was really hoping for more of the show. I hate to be a Debbie Downer for those who just found the show and are enjoying it. The pieces were all starting to really come together. I will watch Jason Watkins in anything, so looking forward to what he does next.
  2. I saw her as a guest on "Would I Lie to You" and she was hilariously brutal to David! I had no idea they starred in this together so it makes what she was saying to him even funnier! I've been dying for this to be available since I heard about it and I'm enjoying it so much! 6 episodes isn't enough BBC! Can we get 8? Pretty please! I love David Mitchell and I agree Anna Maxwell Martin is great.
  3. I haven't watched this in a while but I'm running out of things so I gave it another shot. Are they honestly doing a surprise pregnancy and who could the father be storyline? Come on do better. I saw a great post upstream about how the show was testing their interest in Avery. My god, I couldn't agree more. She couldn't be more flat and uninteresting to me. You can't convince me that all these men are interested in her, except for being trapped on a cruise ship. Phillipa Soo was amazing in Hamilton. Her voice is unparalleled! This show may not be the right vehicle for her (like clearly) so I can't say if it's her or the material, but it's not doing her any favors. Dawson's Creek was just not my thing, I saw a few episodes and said nope. But I watched Joshua Jackson on a show called The Affair which was really good (for a while, then fell off the cliff, at least for me). He's doing a fairly decent job with what he has to work with. The other guy whose name I can't even remember is so uninteresting and bland to me. That's all I have to say about him. I'll check in every now and then to see if the show finds some footing. I don't mind something soapy and over the top but this is all over the place and feels like it hasn't found it's voice. The level of state of the art medical equipment on the ship rivals, if not exceeds, some of the best hospitals here. Maybe it's because they are funded by billionaires. But it makes me roll my eyes every time.
  4. Hi! I just saw a commercial for the show and came here to share! Reba and Barbara Jean! I am definitely going to watch! I hadn't heard anything about this show.
  5. I know it's selfish but I want another season or even 2! The show is so fun and enjoyable. The actors all have great chemistry with each other and it enhances the episodes. However, if that was the last season, I'm happy that Alexa was able to true closure and see her friends as part of her family and be willing to let them in. Of course, she will always be Alexa, so she will go rouge when it suits her, but it feels like she knows these are people she can depend on. I'd watch Lucy Lawless read me the phone book (what's the current version of something like that lol)!, maybe just read me funny tweets!
  6. New Taskmaster series 17 is now available! I know not a single one of the contestants this time, usually I am familiar with a few of them. It's kind of nice to have no opinion and see how I end up enjoying them as the series progresses.
  7. Every year I watch this I think I will never enjoy a cast more than this one, yet I'm proved wrong each year! This cast was lovely and I was only familiar with Sue Perkins from some a show called "The Supersizers...". I kind of knew Lucy Beaumont because she's married to Jon Richardson and she's been on some of his panel shows. Everyone else was new to me and what a delight they all were! First, Sue Perkins and Susan Wokoma are PERFECT together! Every interaction was sublime and so fun. I need to see them do something else together! Susan Wokoma, I loved her and I had not heard of her before. Now, she's on my go to list of British comedians. She's just so lovable and relatable (well I'm also Nigerian so that could have something to do with it 😄) Her I wendt to RADA could have played really badly but she made it funny and kind of self-effacing. $30,000 baby! Lucy is hilarious! First, thank you for closed captioning! The way her mind works is a thing of beauty. The way Greg would just sit there stunned at the random things she'd say brought me to tears. Alex usually doesn't break, but she cracked him up several times which was even funnier. I almost lost it when she said "oh fuck off" to them when they were scoring one of the tasks. Just had to add the classic "I think my legs are actually arms without fingers"...to this day... Sam Campbell!! I've been mainlining his comedy on YouTube. He's just a gem. When he said of Sue and Susan "just give them the points, these are dynamite chicks", he genuinely meant that! Juilan Cleary....what to say about him. I had no idea he was a comedy legend. His contempt for Alex sustained me and I couldn't wait to see how he would convey his utter contempt for him in every episode! Another great series Taskmaster! Come on Series 17!
  8. Thanks for being so nice! After reading all of the previous responses, you would think I would know how to play!
  9. Is this person male or female?
  10. Ugh. This sucks. I thought the show was a damn delight. We just can't have nice things. I know most people felt the end of season 2 felt very much like a series finale. I guess they were right.
  11. Is it a set of antique pudding cups?
  12. I'm not familiar with the show you mentioned. I remember him as Timmy from Rules of Engagement, he played David Spade's assistant. It was driving me CRAZY, until I checked IMDB. He was really fun in the episode.
  13. Like the best thing I've seen about this "revival" (what are we calling it? lol). I adore Roz.
  14. I loved the entire episode. From beginning to end. Everything about it! I love the Franklin Institute. Everyone come to Philly and visit it, you will love it! Then go to the Museum of Art, the Barnes, the Mutter Museum, Magic Gardens...ok I don't get paid to be tourism board, so I'll stop! We just have such great and interesting museums here! One of my friend's daughter was one of the students in this episode. We all started yelling and cheering when we saw her, even though it was brief. She had such an amazing time and she loved it. Plus she earned her first paycheck :-) I really liked Janine and Gregory being grown-ups about how they felt about each other. I loved the scene with Gregory and Jacob. Jacob's reaction was everything and then some! Bro hug!
  15. Yup, definitely agree with this. This episode was actually pretty interesting and it was kinda cool to see some of the old characters show up again. It's funny with shows like this how often people get caught up in a murder plots. Like wouldn't you think, it's time to move! I only just started to watch the show and I'm already doing a rewatch, so I'm glad to have a new season.
  16. I agree. I thought at first she was making fun of him as she usually does, but when she was SO thrilled at his magic, I was also thrilled! Taraji was great casting. I just kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. I could feel Janine trying to hold back her excitement about seeing her mom. She'd been disappointed and hurt by her so many times before, she was trying to keep her expectations in check but still remaining somewhat hopeful. I'm glad she set that boundary with her mom and will still go on her trip that she had saved so hard for. Taraji played that scene so well (they both did), a narcissist hates to have a boundary or any kind drawn because they know they have lost their power. There was a moment where she was furious before she went with the joking and laughing. Good work. I liked that Barbara was protective of Janine, even if it may have been overstepping. She was so proud of Janine for taking the vacation AND getting a massage, she just wanted her to do something for herself. She knew just doing something on her own was a huge sign of growth. Then here comes the one person who had the potential to send her back to square 1. I get it. Plus, I loved that Ava and Vanetta did not become friends. That wouldn't even have been believable. Two self-involved people like that could never really be friends, transactional, but not friends. It was funnier that Ava recognized she was about to get her ass beat! Melissa and Jacob interacting over his magic cracked me up the whole time. Her face at the end was gold! Shout out to the Ross on City Line Ave 😀 I totally love it when they reference real places with their real locations. I always laugh, I say I know where that is lol.
  17. I totally agree. I had been excited for the new show, but it's not clicking for me. I liked Martha in her DIP episodes, but here isn't working. I didn't like the IVF storyline because it seemed so heavy and out of the blue. Her mother is awful.
  18. My Amazon home page used to place the shows that had new episodes on my homepage so I knew to watch. It hasn't been doing that for DIP so I'd have had no idea it was back unless it was for you guys. I'll watch tomorrow, since I'm actively avoiding the SuperBowl, so this will be a fun distraction (although I should be watching or at least care since I live in Philly, but I just don't care at all! But with that said go EAGLES!)
  19. The retrospective was better than expected. I was surprised at the actors who were not included for interviews.
  20. As ridiculous as I find Ava (but also thoroughly amusing, even though I would want to strangle her in real life), her outfits this season have been amazing! I really laughed every time they had a Janine stomach gurgling sound. Food poisoning is the devil. I loved that there was a Janine appreciation from multiple angles. Gregory talking about all the work and effort that is done by the teachers so their students stay on track and from Jacob talking about all the things Janine does to make their lives better. Yes, Janine is overly earnest and that can be grating, but she is kind and thoughtful and she does so many little things for them. It is sad in some way that they don't appreciate it fully, but again, Janine being Janine can be too much. Honestly, now that Ava isn't blackmailing the superintendent, how IS she keeping her job? I'd like to hear more about the people who live under the Denver airport....
  21. I agree with so many of the thoughts shared already. It was a really pleasant and enjoyable season, really comforting, like revisiting friends. Lucy Lawless is wonderful. I've loved her since Xena, and watched her a little in Spartacus which was quite the turn. Forget, that she was also in Battlestar Galactica. This has been really a really fun show to watch her in. I also felt like if the show doesn't come back, that last scene in E10 would be a nice sendoff. But I want another season, maybe 2 more! Felt nice to see Alexa acknowledge quietly to herself that she does have friends and that she's happy to have them. 10 episodes really doesn't feel like enough!
  22. I watched a couple episodes last night based on seeing it shared here, and I really liked it too.
  23. That's genuinely one of my favorite gifs! It was great that she did it so quickly too, it worked really well.
  24. Thank you! That must have been what I was thinking about! Thank you! I knew I'd seen him in something before Will and Grace because I recognized him then. He really was so entertaining in everything. It's been wonderful but equally heartbreaking to see the outpouring of love for him through social media. I hope he knew how much we all loved him 💔
  25. He was in SO many shows over the years. I've been looking at his IMDB and he really showed up everywhere. For some reason, I thought he was in Designing Women but I don't see that in his IMDB. Maybe just my mind playing tricks on me! His work in Will and Grace was brilliant! He kept me laughing and entertained all through the pandemic, his videos were thoroughly delightful. What a lovely, lovely person.
