>>>   9:56a  "Praise Petey" (07/21/23)  (Metacritic: 65, 50-80, #6)

Animated series about a NYC "It girle" who loses her job and heads south and takes over her late father's cult.

The first 2 episodes were back-to-back but the titles on TiVo have them mixed up compared to sources online.

~~  One review said it's "undeniably charming, with mile-a-minute jokes that land at least … mmm … 70 percent of the time."

I'm not sure what "land" means, because I don't think I laughed at all.

-- 11:12a  "Run the Burbs" (08/07/23)

>>> 12:37p  "Lawmen: Bass Reeves" (11/05/23)

This is on Paramount+, which I've already dropped, but the first 2 episodes were on CBS.

I was NOT attracted by the ads, but I decided to take a look, even though I won't be able to watch the whole season.

~~  This tells the tale of the first Black U.S. Marshall west of the Mississippi. It is the first of a planned anthology set to feature other iconic lawmen and outlaws through history,

~~  Some claim that "The Lone Ranger" was based on Reeves, although he was portrayed as a white man.

~~  His wife is Jennie.

~~  This moves slowly, is boring, and, although it's based on a real guy, it's impossible to know which parts are true.

>>>   6:15p  "Shining Vale" (03/06/22)  (Metacritic: 20, 33-(60-91), #16)

This Starz sitcom is free on Xfinity Stream this week so I thought I'd take a look.

A family moves into a house in the title town that seems to be haunted.

The problem is that only the wife has the visions.

~~  Harshest critic says, "All snark and no wit makes this miserable misfire of a horror comedy"

~~  I did chuckle twice.

~~  I thought I could watch additional episodes but it seems that the free "week" ended while I was watching the show!

>>>   7:26p  "Based on a True Story" (06/08/23) on Peacock

A maried couple (a realtor and a former tennis star), and their plumber, seize a unique opportunity to capitalize on America's obsession with true crime.

~~ Jennifer Kim played a TV reporter.

--   8:51p  Movie: "Genie" (2023) on Peacock

Melissa McCarthy plays the title character.

It turns out that this genie has no limit on the number of wishes she can grant.

I discovered that this is a remake of "Bernard and the Genie" (1991) and the actor

who plays Bernard's boss in the new version played Bernard in the original!
