VT: I called a restaurant because their pin location mismatched visual location.
I asked for their address and they asked who I was.  I explained what I was
trying to figure out and she said she didn't want to give me address because
she was dodging bills.  But the restaurant is where it is and it's a tiny
town so I wouldn't think the post office would have difficulty delivering the
mail.  I called up the convenience store next door and they verified that the
restaurant was adjacent.  Google Maps immediately published my correction (of
the pin -- I didn't try to change the address).

 Premieres            

-- Nancy Drew
  • This Nancy is about to head to college and is depressed since her mom died of cancer.
  • I remember watching the Pamela Sue Martin version in 1977, and Martin, who is my age, is a guest in this version, playing a psychic. 
  • Aside from Martin, I don't remember anything at all about the 1977 series, so I can't compare the side characters. 
  • This reboot is following in the footsteps of "Riverdale",  an updated cultural archetype with a dark edge. 
  • One of the actresses is named Maddison.  Yesterday, on "ET", another actress named Maddison. 
  • I couldn't care less about the mystery and the characters are not interesting enough.

I first went to Osco to get flu shot but the clinic was closed.
So, I went to Boston Market for a 2-for-1 offer, but the "get coupon" button that showed up on my laptop  didn't appear.  So, I went into the app, but  nothing was there.  The clerk said I could give my phone number, but, since I had the app, I didn't think I'd need to give my phone.  I turned around and left. Boston Market is now off my list.

This show has a new way of showing what happened last time -- at least it's new
to me -- maybe it's been done on premium cable shows that I haven't seen.
It shows a scene in an angled frame, and then that frame flies off to be
replaces by a new frame at a different angle.

  • Kate Kane returns to Gotham when a gang targets her father and her ex-girlfriend.
  • Apparently, her father is the brother of Bruce Wayne's late mother. 
  • A lot of the reviewer like the show but the viewers disagree. They say the show is too "woke" —

    From https://www.thepunctuationguide.com/em-dash.html
     which is what the reviewers like.
  • I'm not sure if I want to bother with this show, but I'll probably watch it anyway.

I couldn't even get TiVo app to show a downloaded program.  It says
"problem streaming", but it shouldn't have to stream a downloaded program.
The general solution is to reload the app (at home) -- but that also
erases the downloaded programs.

-- 10:43a  Inside;  "Modern Family"

I uninstalled and reinstalled the TiVo app and I'm at home now, so problems
that might be with McD wifi aren't here, but the app is still failing.

Animated.  About a working-class family trying to make ends meet.

like "Jane the Virgin".  Kristin Wiig plays Jenny.

 Premieres            

-- Almost Family
  • Was originally titled, "Not Just Me".  It's based on a Australian series called "Sisters".
  • A woman discovers her dad, a fertility doctor, used his sperm on patients, so she has siblings. 
  • One critic said, "The pilot has a lot of hidden stupidness underneath the decent acting and relatively funny dialogue."  Most favorable reviewer said it's, "easily the most promising series of the fall broadcast season: funny, poignant, and drenched in the chemistry between three charismatic actresses" 
  • Harsh critic said it's a "snooze" and "flat-out creepy."  Another said the show wants to ignore the felony and focus on stories about community and family.  Another characterized it as 'This is Us" with medical rape. 
  • One of the mothers is named Genevieve
  • I'm not creeped out by the premise -- the children, who are adults,  are innocent -- so we're just following their lives.  I'm just not sure if their lives are interesting enough to follow. 
  • I'll probably continue to watch if the series manages to stay on. 
  • I'm assuming they produced this show because it was successful in Australia, however, I don't know what changes they made in this version.
