Like alot of guys, I fell in love with Megyn Kelly years ago. She's got to be one of the most beautiful women on God's green earth. I don't always agree with her, but she is one hell of a journalist.

However, as I just discovered: she's half Italian. Madonne! Che bello!

The original Ben Hur is terrible; one of (if not -) the worst classic. The remake being bad is expected but lets not pretend that the original has any merit in any way. Charlton Heston is just the worst, he'd be the well known guy that shouldn't be well known at all something like - Brandon Fraser if he was about nowadays. The film is just really bad overall, enjoy it if you want but it isn't a well made movie in any way.

RIP a few animals as well. Screw them though the world needed this mediocrity.

I finished watching the mini series 11 22 63 an adaptation of the novel by Stephen King. Very entertaining, excellent acting. Anybody see it? Or read the novel?

"3:10 to Yuma". Great film. Finally saw it in its entirety, only had seen bits and pieces.

X-Men Apocalypse was entertaining, full of action. Good cast. Very enjoyable movie imo.

Turner Classic Movies - I watched "The Heiress"
What a very sad, depressing film. I felt drained after watching it. Superb cast.

My kids saw the new Godzilla film in the theatre. I got out of seeing it, thank God lol.

It's been 4 years now since I've been yelled at or heard my parents bickering so I've been watching The Costanza's on Seinfeld I feel right at home

So funny. Can anyone relate?

"What do you need all that ketchup for?"

"Will you stop, I'm on the telephone!!!"

I'm gone two weeks and you turn my house into, into Bourbon Street!

Who the hell did you ever mention his hands to?

Why'd you put the bananas in there?

Serenity Now!

Great Seinfeld episode with George's parents.

AG, I can relate... my parents are exactly like Frank & Marie Barone on Raymond.

Megyn Kelly and Sean Hannity kiss and make up.

Just saw the Amanda Knox documentary on Netflix, very good and compelling. Can't believe that a lot of people still think she did it..

Didn't she do cartwheels and stuff when she was waiting around after being brought in for questioning?

Not that it presumes guilt. People do crazy shit when they are in shock.

Serenity Now!

Yeah those two are another couple that I can relate to. Lord, help you. Have you ever left their house with the two of them arguing and they didn't notice you were gone until about ten minutes later? That happened quite a bit.

That's what Italian police told the press yes, but they also told Amanda that she was HIV positive when she was in jail which was absolutely not true. They did it to fuck with her head..

Italian police can be brutal I've learned..

BrainDead and American Gothic were the only two new series put into production for summer releases at CBS, so it is somewhat strange that both of them would get axed so quickly. CBS is a network known for bringing in massive audiences for stalwart hits like NCIS and The Big Bang Theory, so perhaps the lower turnouts for the freshman series were below even the minimum expectations, thus cementing their fates.

Watch the first two episodes of West World I like it so far, my mom told me they made a movie starring Yul Brenner in the 70's

Don't bother with the movie "The Infiltrator", starring Bryan Cranston. What a disappointment! The only few good scenes were with Leguizamo, pretty gritty, but only accounted for maybe about twenty or so minutes of the movie. I give it a negative seven.

The NFL’s TV ratings dive continues to show no signs of letting up. Regional ratings for Fox’s NFC package have shown the smallest drop at just 1 percent through seven weeks compared to 2015, while regional ratings for CBS’ AFC package are down 9 percent, FOX Sports executive vice president of research Michael Mulvihill tweeted Tuesday. Although the ratings for “Monday Night Football” have fallen off a cliff compared to last season, ratings for “Thursday Night Football” on CBS and the NFL Network and for NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” aren’t much better. ...

Well, whaddya know: Will & Grace‘s recent web-based reunion has stirred interest in a full-fledged revival.

TVLine has learned that NBC is in preliminary talks with the sitcom’s six principal players — series creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick, and stars Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes — about doing a limited-run of original episodes. It’s not clear when the episodes would air and how many there would be.

Is this thread only for TV series that are newer than 2015 ?

If not, im watching Underbelly: Land Of The Long Green Cloud at the moment.

Picked it up for 6 quid on dvd from the local shop, one of my favorite TV series. Its about the "Mr Asia" drug syndicate, marty johnstone and terry clark.

The 2016 Fall TV season is about a month in, and while it’s too early to make any final judgments on winners and losers, here’s how things are shaping up.

Winner: MacGyver
This reboot of the classic 80’s series defied the conventional wisdom that a Friday night timeslot equals death for a new show. Instead, the show has managed to maintain solid ratings and recently scored a full-season order.
Loser: Pure Genius
The only new CBS fall show to premiere to soft ratings, this medical drama starring Augustus Prew and Dermot Mulroney opened to just 6.2 million viewers and a 1.0 rating. And as shows tend to dip in their subsequent weeks, this one could be ripe for cancellation already.
Winner: Supergirl’s CW move
The Girl of Steel went from being a bubble show on CBS to the top-rated show on The CW. This was a no-brainer.

Winner: This Is Us
Who knew a wholesome, earnest family drama would be the breakout hit of the fall TV season? NBC needed a hit, and it got one in Dan Fogelman’s latest.
Loser: Notorious
“Notorious” has the unfortunate distinction of being the first fall show to have its episode order cut – essentially a cancellation.

Winner: Lethal Weapon
Among the hits and misses of movies being turned into TV shows, Fox’s redo of the Mel Gibson cop comedy is firmly in the “hit” column, thanks to the strong chemistry between the two leads.

Loser: Divorce
Sarah Jessica Parker’s big return to TV and the network of “Sex and the City” didn’t make much of a splash, and “Insecure” and “Westworld” are both buzzier.
Winner: Designated Survivor
Kiefer Sutherland’s return to TV was a resounding success, and “Designated Survivor” is a hit with audiences and critics alike.
Loser: NFL Games
There are only a few guarantees in life: death, taxes, and strong TV ratings for NFL games. That last one has been a bit shaky thus far this season, however, as weak match-ups, sloppy play, altered rules and even a contagious national anthem protest have turned a significant number of viewers off.

I really only watch 2 of those listed.

I surprisingly do like Lethal Weapon. I always liked the movie but didn't think bringing it to tv was a good idea. So far, I was wrong. Damon Wayans is really good and so is the guy who plays Riggs. (Don't know his name. Never saw him before this show.) The two DO have good chemistry which probably is one reason it works.

Also, Designated Survivor. Very interesting premise and so far, story is very good.

Never really watched the original MacGyver but my brother ALWAYS watched when he was young.

I read earlier critics bashing both MacGyver and Lethal Weapon. I was prepared for a cancellation. Glad to see so far that's not the case.



TIS

I read the novel. It is a LONG read. I was fascinated by it while I was reading it. Did you read it? I have some criticisms of it near the end but don't want to spoil anything for you or others.

I don't get Hulu so I haven't seen any of the episodes. Was it a one-season series or more of a traditional show?

I was watching Wiseguy last night on COZI. I was surprised to see Chazz Palminteri in it. I saw where he was also in an episode of Dallas. He goes way back.

Hi Mr. Blonde. How are you? I have not read the novel but plan to do so.

It was a TV Mini-Series, 8 episodes, one season. I still rent Netflix DVDs, so that's how I was able to watch them. Try Amazon or Netflix.

Hi, AG. Doing well, hope you are too!

I'm glad that it is a self-contained 8 episode miniseries - I don't think it would have worked as an elongated series. I'll try to track it down - I'm off streaming for a while (long story) but I would really like to see it now.

Wasn't there a movie entitled Contract on Cherry St? Who was in it?

I was watching a couple episodes of Wiseguy today. I never knew Chazz P was in the series. Interesting.

Dallas, Dynasty, and The Colby's lol I remember those shows. He does go way back.

He was also in a vampire movie so was don rickles and From officer and a gentlemen he was Richard Gere daddio in that one. There were even more people in that you would know hot girl was the vampire she fucked them and then sucked their blood

Foots-- An Officer And a Gentleman is a good movie. So cute of him surprising his girl and carrying her off into the sunset But how can Chazz be the Dad? Richard Gere is a few years older than him. ??

That Sicilian Vampire movie got good reviews. Has anyone seen it? It has a good cast, came out in 2015. Remember we were talking about it on here a while back?

Tuesday night Leah Rimini hosts a critical look at Scientology. Since she used to be on the inside of it, it should be informative.

No Chaz wasn't Gere father Robert loggia was his father. The only thing that the movie should have done that it didn't do was have loggia there when he graduated and loggia saluted him. It would have made for a better movie.

Oh ok. I really couldn't remember who played his father, been so long since I've seen that film. Loggia is an excellent actor. I agree he should have been there and saluted him. I was just watching an interview where Gere talks about how they had to use a double for the karate fighting scenes because the actor fighting Gere couldn't get the routine down. So he got pissed and left the set, came back a few days later

(I need to re-watch this movie)

That karate scene was old time White made MA.

My son is bjj player. He could have killed both of them. The only way he could lose a fight is if someone shot him 20 feet from him. He gets a hand on them they die.

People don't realize it just get a hand on them then in a joke and don't give it up they die.

He fights with a gi. It's crazy he chokes them out with his gi or their gi.

He thought about fighting MMA for a half a minute.

His friend trains with real boxers he has a blind spot on one side of his face. He can't see the punch coming on that side. Can't see it and out you go.
