>>> 12:30p  "Promised Land" (Metacritic: 72, 60-87, 5)
Dallas-like soap about Latinx family that owns a vineyard.
~~  This episode was all about trying to figure out how everyone is related and it's
bizarrely complicated.
~~  I don't know how much this show was inspired by the success of "This Is Us" but
it seems to be using the same technique of using flashbacks that you don't find out
were flashbacks until the end, which implies we are going to be spending a lot of
time in the past, seeing how they got to this point.
~~  I'll watch but the timing of how so many things are suddenly happening is too
convenient.

>>>   8:09p  "How I Met Your Father";  New on Hulu
Spin-off of "How I Met Your Mother".  The original had a dad (voiced by Bob Sagat, who just died),
who we never saw, talking to his 2 teen children.  But this has the visible mom calling her
seemingly adult son (who we don't see) to tell him the story.  The mom in 2050 is
played by Kim Cattrall, who is not on "And Just Like That"
~~  Just like the original, I wonder if the place where the story starts is the "right" place
for it to start.  In the original, one question would be, "Why is this story taking
so long?"  Of course, the producers want to keep a show going on for a long time.
But a parent could start by saying, "It started when my parents met, because if
they hadn't, I wouldn't have been born and I never would have met your mom."
~~  One critic pointed out that the plans for this show started a long time ago
and they didn't update the references, so parts feel out of date.
~~  Episode is based on people accidentally switching phone.  One critic says
that's something that never happens in real life.
~~  One of the characters lives in the apt that one of the characters from the
original show had lived in.
~~  It has the same theme song as the original.
~~  I didn't love the original, but I watched it all the way through.  I expect
to watch this to see how it goes.

Originally, a web comedy about 2 twenty-something best friends in NYC.
~~  They ditched work in an attempt to scrape together enough money to go to
a concert.  I can't imagine that every episode is going to be like this but I
don't know how their lives are going to change when it seems, from this episode,
that their minds are focused on seeing concerts (or buying pot) that they can't afford.

>>> 11:53a  "Good Sam" (Metacritic: 56, 50-60, #5)
Heart surgeon clashes with her father (who was also her boss) when he returns to work after 
recovering from a coma, and he finds that she's been given his job.
~~  Samantha's father is played by Jason Isaacs but when I was seeing all the promos
I thought the actor was Peter Onorati.  I can't find anything online that says that
other people think they look alike.
~~  This is another show that takes place in Detroit this season.  I don't see anyone
online talking about that.  A google search simply has shows from past years that have been
set in Detroit.  The wiki article with list has NONE of this season's shows.
~~  Sophia Bush plays the title character and her last show is still on and on at the
same day and time on another network.
~~  It's difficult to pick up on all the medical aspects of the case.  In some says, it's
like "House" focusing on medical mystery, but I don't know if that's going to be
a recurring theme.  If it is, it's going to be repeatedly coincidental.  The title
character is a heart surgeon, so it might get boring.  I assume I'll keep watching.

>>>   7:43p  "Cleaning Lady, The  (Metacritic: 53, 30-82, #8)
A Cambodian doctor is forced to find work with a crime organization to
help pay for treatment for her ill son in this adaptation of the
Argentinean drama of the same name.
~~  Harsh review said it, "has good intentions, but is far too derivative to form a compelling series."
Another said, "The concept here isn’t bad but the execution is another story as the writers pull out all the 
stops to manipulate the emotions of their viewers in ways that alternate between annoying and exploitative.
Most favorable review said "It’s a unique character inhabiting a unique world: the perfect ingredients for 
an exciting story."
~~  Second show I watched this week where a man and woman ran from a building that was
rigged to explode, with them getting out just in time.
~~  The show is a bit too confusing.  She cleaned up the site where a man was killed but
then the henchmen do a sloppy job disposing of the body.  In other words, the ccps find
the body and are able too ID him.  Also, how often is a criminal organization supposed
to have to clean up something?  I think I'll be too annoyed at all the stupid things they do.

fix it.  So, I told it to check broadband and it seemed to get stuck on the tablet.
