>>> 11:01a  "The Nevers" (04/11/21)  (Metacritic: 58, 30-90, #24)
This HBO Max show was promoted on the Watchathon, but I never heard of it.
There are only 3 episode so far, and I should be able to watch the 4th on Sunday,
but I won't be able to see the rest of the season. 
~~  It takes place in Victorian times and involves women with supernatural powers.
There is no dialog in first 3 mins.  We see people doing Victorian things, and
then they all seem to see something in the sky, but we don't get to see it.
And then it jumps ahead 3 years, where we see the same people doing more
Victorian things for a couple more mins without dialog.  But then we see a 
boy selling newspapers.  The headline is about a 5th victim of a serial killer.
~~  The show was created by they guy who created "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and
"Firefly", but then was removed from this show.  He claimed exhaustion from 
producing a show during pandemic.
~~  No is called "The Nevers" in the show.  Instead, they are referred to as
"The Touched" and their powers are referred to as "turns".  Everyone has a
unique turn, which is similar to mutant powers in "X-Men".  In the later, I'm
not aware of the reason why anyone has a particular power, but in this show,
it seems related to an existing personality trait.

VT: Saw Hodge Elementary was rebuilt nearby and then taken over by Spencer Elementary
in 2015-2017 while it was rebuilt, and then renamed Andrea William Elementary after
long-time principal who died at 60, with the new cafeteria named Spencer.
Meanwhile, across the street from the old Hodge, Quiky BBQ closed and relocated

VT:  When I got to the Talmadge Memorial Bridge I noticed some pillars that, at first
looked like they were planning to build an additional ramp, but then I realized they were
probably remains of the previous bridge.  I found a quote online that many of the piers 
of the old bridge still stand because "the cost of removing the old bridge was greater than 
the cost of erecting the new bridge."

It seems that whenever I get a call during a nap and answer the call in my bedroom
I cannot hear anyone.  I can hear the dial tone.  I called it from my cell and it seems to work.
--   1:45p  "Seth Meyers" ...

--   2:30p  My refrigerator has been making a rough sound on and off.
Four hrs ago I filled an ice cube tray and it successfully froze the cubes.
I finally managed to pull the fridge out -- it wasn't as difficult as the first attempts
made it seem.  I expected to see coils that needed to be dusted, but there are no 
visible coils.  Most of the back is covered.  There is a cardboard cover near the 
bottom that has vent cutouts but they seem clear.  It's held on with hex nuts so it
doesn't appear that the owner is meant to get in there.  The fridge is 10 yrs old.

Two of the witches are Hispanic, although not fluent in Spanish.  A cousin from Puerto Rico visits
and uses the Spanish word for "witch", which I also heard on "Bob Hearts Abishola" earlier when

I'm not sure if I've ever heard that word before.

show the count of my answers that were marked as "favorite" is much lower than the number
that showed online.  Unless the program has a flaw, this implies that once an answer is
marked as a favorite, I get credit for it, even if the question has been deleted, but that
the data doesn't include any answers from such deleted questions.

>>>   2:47p  "Chad" (04/06/21)  (Metacritic: 65, 20-40-(60-88), #12, Viewers: 1.3/10, #8)
About a 14-year-old Persian boy in US, who desperately tries to fit in, cope with his 
mother's dating life, and reconcile his cultural identity.  He is played by "SNL" alum
who created the series but is a 39-year-old woman.
~~  Harshest critic says the title character does the wrong thing in very
situation, then find ways to keep doing that again and again.
The reviewers who liked the show seem to like the creator but the viewers mostly hate it.
~~  It wasn't quite as bad as expected until about 20 mins in and then it got
really stupid.  I'll let TiVo record it but I don't know if I'll watch again.

>>>   7:53p  "Home Economics"  (04/07/21)  (Metacritic: 64, 30-(60-80), #6)
It might be trying to be a new version of "Modern Family" where 3 adult siblings
have families of their own.  The youngest one is rich but is kind of obnoxious about it.
~~  Most favorable reviewer called it charming.
~~  The oldest sibling wrote one successful novel, but his 2nd book failed, so he
now has money problems and is embarrassed to ask his rich little brother for a loan.
But his wife was a corporate lawyer.  It seems like the obvious solution is for her
to go back to work and he should take care of their twin babies.
~~  It's kind of stupid, but I also thought that about "Modern Family", which I watched
for its whole run.  Even though the show starts by highlighting the different economic
situations the sibs are in, they seem to have come from a middle-class background
and I hope it's not always focusing on the initial hook.

>>> 12:37p  "United States of Al" (Metacritic: 50, 20-68, #)
Another Chuck Lore sitcom, which are generally among my favorites.  
About an ex-Marine who brings his Afghani translator back to US.
~~  One critic says the show has good intentions, but that's not good enough.
Harshest critic has seen 4 episodes and says there's nothing to indicated that it's
willing to move past the predictable jokes.
~~  Another critic said the show might be good if they got rid of the Afghani character.
~~  I'll watch it, because it's NOT horrible.  The main thing about the show is
that Al knows he's in a new culture, but he thinks he's supposed to be teaching
the Americans how to act.  Is that supposed to be funny?  Does it HAVE to be funny --
if it's pointing out how there are different ways people can look at things?
We tend to think that a sitcom needs to be funny, although we DO have shows that
are described as "dramadies".

work full time and still be poor.  He points out that whites are making less than
