Sat
--   1:20a  Bed
--   8:35a  Up
My older TiVo was showing a steady amber light.
--   8:49a  Rebooting worked
My phone shows snow but laptop doesn't.
--   9:15a  Leaving for breakfast  @McD: 2 sausage/egg burritos
-- 10:30a  Inside after biking 1+1;  "Greatest Average American, The"
It bills itself as being "the only comedy show that happens to be a game show".
It starts with 3 players, each picking one of 4 answers, except one of the
questions is to guess closest to the percentage.  After 4 questions, the
player with lowest score is eliminated.
~~  In the 2nd round, they're asked to guess the number of times the host can
do something (like shooting baseetballs).  One  picks the number and the other
guesses over or under.
~~  In the 3rd round, they're given 7 questions with only 2 answers (would they
prefer A or B).  The player has to match 5 to win the average American salary of $67K,
otherwise they win $10K.
~~  It this was supposed to be primarily a comedy show, I wouldn't say that it
has much comedy -- only attempts by the host, who is a comic.
~~  After the 3rd round, they move on to 3 new players.
~~  It moves fairly fast and is not hard to follow, but I don't care about
any of the answers.  In general,  I'm not looking to start watching any new games shows.

-- 11:27a  "Beauty, The" (02/18/26)

>>>   8:00p  "Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, The" (Metacritic: 76, 50-90, #10)
A former NFL MVP is still dealing with the fallout from when he was banned for life 
after accidentally calling a live news broadcast to place a bet on himself.

--   8:48p  +"Scrubs"
It's 15 years later and JD returns as Chief of Medicine over a new set of interns.
I watched the original show for 9 years even though I thought it was too silly.
I suppose I'll watch the new version even though it's probably not any better.
They're using the old theme.

-- 10:56p  "SNL"
