>>> 11:22a  "Mayor of Kingstown" (11/13/21)  (Metacritic: 55,  (30-60)-88, #15)

Prisons are the lifeblood of the small Michigan town and 2 brothers try to keep the peace by using their influence on the police, the prison, and politicians.

~~ Harsh review says it, "boasts fine performances, it’s confusing at times and incredibly depressing at others," so, I've been avoiding taking a look.

~~ There are 2 Taylors.  One is the director and co-creator. the other plays a cop named Kyle.

There are 2 Kyles -- the one I just mentioned and the other plays the title character.

>>>   6:21p  "Halo" (03/24/22)

In the year 2552, humans on the planet Madrigal fight for independence from Earth, but a fatal encounter with the Alien Covenant complicates things.

It's based on an Xbox video game that I'm unfamiliar with, which is why I've avoided taking a look.

~~ Favorable revies says the lead, "lends new depths to his famously one-dimensional hero."

~~ Least favorable review (38) says, "They’ve avoided the trap of filling precious screen time with impenetrable jargon and shorthand, but the result is an extensive mythology rife with political machinations that, at least in the first couple of episodes, feels alternately opaque or convoluted."

There might be a plot hole where ship had enough fuel to escape gravity of another planet.

Another plot hole might be that unseen aliens helped us, but it seems like they could have helped us in a better way.

I was going to watch "Amistad" next, but it's on Showtime -- which shows up on Paramount+

but you need an extra subscription.  If it had been available, it would have been

2 Matthew MacConaughey movies in a row, and also the 2nd Spielberg movie of this week.

2nd show this week that showed someone on a firepole who wasn't a fire fighter.

--   1:20p  Movie: "Mother!" (2017) on Paramount+

This was a very strange movie, but, apparently, it's based on  an interpretation of the Bible.

It's also the 2nd movie I saw this week where we see the final scene at the beginning, but

there is no indication at the start that it went back in time.

It's unclear how Bridget got her job since she seemed so inept.

It's also unclear why the only thing in her fridge would be moldy cheese.

It seems that I might have wasted time watching in on Paramount+ because it seems to

be available on PlutoTV also.

It seems that he was saying he wanted scrambled eggs on an Egg McMuffin which normally

comes with a "round egg" where they yolk is in the center.  I've heard people says

fluffy eggs, but I've never heard anyone use "fluff"  as a noun, except 

for Marshmallow Fluff.

>>>   8:53p  "Frasier"

New sequel on Paramount+.  Frasier returns to Boston hoping to reconnect with his son,

who doesn't seem interested in doing so.

One review gave it 100, but harsh review (25) says it's "crigeworthy as you could possibly imagine".

I think it's on par with the original, but some see that as dated.

~~  The main problem in the pilot is that the reason Frasier's son is keeping a secret

from his father makes no sense.  Given that the secret comes out by the end of the episode

means that it doesn't matter anymore, but it still makes the episode seem weak.  

~~  There are 2 eps this week and I'll be able to watch 2 more before my subscription ends.

I tried an experiment.  I had seen that the app listed a recent order that

said "speical request", and it had been ordered at the same McD, but when I

picked it, it said "not available", so I had to go back to my old method of

ordering, which entails placing 2 orders, one for the cheeseless burritos and

another for the large soda for $1.

He thinks having had COVID in March is still protecting him, and he also thinks

being sick from the Canadian smoke is also protecting him.  I explained to him why the

latter is not a disease -- so it couldn't protect him -- but I don't think he's going to

accept that.  Also, he's never gotten a flu shot because his mother told him that

a flu shot can give you the flu.  I told him that it might have been true at one time

but I don't think it's true anymore.

>>>   8:48p  "Found" (Metacritic: 49, 30-83, #6)

Public relations specialist and her team locate missing people.

~~  Harshest critic says it, "leans so far into its clichés that it becomes more of a soap opera than a traditional network procedural. This one is just a misfire on all levels, a show so dense with overheated dialogue and character choices that it verges on parody."

~~  If there hadn't been a writers' strike, chances are that I wouldn't have even bothered watching the pilot.

~~  Maybe the biggest cliché is that the team has its requisite genius hacker behind the scenes.

>>> 10:04a  "Krapopolis" (Metacritic: 60, 45-75, #14)

Animated comedy series centers on an ancient mythical Greek kingdom.

Harsh critic said it, "doesn’t seem worth all this fuss. It lacks the wit, imagination, and emotional savvy of Harmon’s other series."

The most favorable review said, "The comedy comes fast and furious in early episodes, rarely taking a breather, and the comedic hit-to-miss ration favors the hits."

It seems that the only other Dan Harmon series I'm familiar with is "Community", 

and I watched all 110 episodes of that, although I didn't really like it a lot.

~~  I'm a bit confused because IMDB shows says this is episode 3, but TiVo says it's ep 1.

~~  I'll probably give it a chance but I'm not sure it's worth watching.

>>>   5:14p  "Spencer Sisters, The" (Metacritic: 60, #1)

Mystery novelist Victoria Spencer (Lea Thompson) and her daughter open a private detective agency in this Canadian drama series.

~~ One critic noted that it "was mostly interesting enough to hold the viewer’s attention, but it isn’t for everyone. It is a bit formulaic and will likely feel like something most viewers have already watched before."

~~ I found a filming location was at Saint Boniface Cathedral in Winnipeg, but I was only able to do so

by taking a photo off the TV screen and submitting it to Google Lens.  However, when I asked, now that I 

had the address, could they find a webpage that verified it as a filming location, the search engines

couldn't do so.

~~  Jennifer Hui plays the daughter's old friend, Kaia.

~~  I'll probably keep watching it, since the actors' strike is ongoing.

Successful Boston neurosurgeon, Maggie Sullivan, is struggling after getting arrested.

Even after the charges are dropped, she runs back to her hometown (the title) 

in Nova Scotia to stay with her estranged father (Scott Patterson).

~~  Based on a series of Robyn Carr novels.

ran back to her estranged family in NS after her husband cheated on her.

~~  "The Way Home" was a Canadian show where a woman returns from US to her

estranged mother in Canada.

--   2:56p  I tried to get to customer support online but there is no evidence of 

a way to contact them through the website -- it only has a useless knowledge base.

So, I called, and they said they are experiencing higher than normal call volume so I hung up.

I have a feeling that it automatically says that regardless -- unless you call after hours

and then it will tell you that it's after hours.

I said I wouldn't come.  And then I started asking him about the texts he sent from

restaurant on Sunday, but he was very cagey about them and before we got through them

he said he had to go to an appointment.  He again repeated that JohnF knows everything

but I pointed out that JohnF doesn't know the area of the pool, and we got into an argument

about the volume and the linear footage are irrelevant, but Tony wouldn't accept that.

--   3:44p  I finally found how to chat with TiVo online and they said it's a known problem

A neighbor happened to be coming out of his house  and I asked him he got the alert.

He didn't have his phone on him.  He had been having trouble with his printer so I asked if he

wanted me to look at it.

~~  The first problem is that it's a MacBook, not a Windows machine.  He gave me the 

instruction booklet and it did NOT contain setup instruction, but he found a separate card that

had the setup instructions, but that required getting software online, which, presumably, he had

already downloaded, since his printer had worked when he first got it.

~~   My eyeglasses are not suitable for attempting to read his screen from over his shoulders and

I got tired of trying to figure out what he might need, so I left.

Both the Indiana Daily-3 and Daily-4 had two 8's and the yellow balls were 5.

--   8:27p  Took a look at premiere of new game show "Loteria Loca".

It has a band and dancers.  There is a 3 x 5 board with 15 numbers.  I'm not

sure if the geometry means anything -- probably not.  Each player has a "bingo"

card, but it's really tic-tac-toe with pictures.  So, picking one of the 15 numbers

reveals a picture and if the picture matches a square on your card you get that

square and money associated with it.  Each player has their own card, so there's no

blocking, like in tic-tac-toe, so, I suppose you can call it a 3 x 3 bingo card.

If you get 3 in a row, you earn a loteria, and your goal is to win 2 loterias.

By the way, each picture has an object and the word associated is in Spanish.

But one of the pictures could reveal a Loca Challenge which has the host sing a

parody of a song.  The words are a clue to the last word of the song, which will

rhyme with the last word of the previous line (as songs typically do).

Actually, there is more than one number with a Loca Challenge -- I'm not sure

if it's always the same count.  And the game behind is not always the one I just

described.  I don't know how many possible games there are, and I don't know if

the game is associated with the number, or if the first Loca Challenge found 

would always play the first pre-planned game, although I don't know if it would

matter.  I paid no attention to the 2nd game.  

  Once someone gets 2 loterias, you play a new game alone, and now you play with

a 4x4 card.  But if you uncover 4 skull cards, you lose everything.

And the 3x5 board becomes a 5 x 4 board.

In any case, the winner at the end gets $1M and the loser gets nothing.

I believe it was produced in Madrid.
