What are y’all watching during quarantine? I keep meaning to ask what is new to watch, but the last time I did, y’all got me hooked on 90 Day Fiancé. And there are 298 franchises of that show. That said, they are all number one on their night on cable. So um bravo (SWIDT?) to you. Also a brief word. THIS IS AN OPEN FORUM POST. I know that we are all going through things and have a lot of feelings. BUT PLEASE CONTAIN YOUR OFF TOPIC TOPICS TO OFF TOPIC FORUMS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I know feelings come out when you least expect it and and I get it, I do it too. But if you are looking vent about ANYTHING off topic, BOOKMARK THIS LINK. And you can talk about whatever off topic you want! There is usually one a week or more. But Off Topic comments is the best place to let us all know how you are doing. Or what shows you randomly want to talk about. Or really anything other than the subject at hand. You can also ask me your questions here.
I’m starting this post late at night because I have been binge watching The Spanish Princess on Starz this weekendish. I am pretty sure I watched some of season one but I don’t remember it. So I watched all of season one and realized that the at least some of the people portrayed in the movie are actual historical figures. I thought it was just more of a… I dunno… random series. So when my brain kicked in I started some googling and reading the reviews. So, if you know your 16th century (?) European history you will hate this series. It’s like 80 percent inaccurate according to the reviews from smart people online whose heads exploded. That’s because is is a MOVIE roughly based on a few historical events.
Even More Good Bad Choices
Tonight’s double feature began with Yesterday on HBO. In case you didn’t know it’s a comedy and sort of a rom com about a guy who is a musician whose career is not taking off so he thinks he should go back to teaching. Then one day he wakes up and no one on earth except for him know who The Beatles are and have never heard the music. So he gets an idea… This one the critics were sort of mixed on. The Beatles music probably helped. I liked it. Who doesn’t like a good rom com.
Right this minute, I am watching The Professor on Showtime. It’s about a college professor who has six months to live. It’s comedy! Johnny Depp plays the professor. It’s his six months of doing and saying everything he ever wanted to say to anyone, and doing all the drinking and druging and fucking he wants. But, it’s kind of funny! All the critics HATE this movie. Which made me like it even more. Did mention Johnny Depp? And it kind of makes the concept that we are all going to die a little easier.
It’s nearly three am, and I am starting Little Women on Starz. I’ve been wanting to see this movie. Of course many of us know the story. But, Do we? I mean it’s 2020 and I really don’t remember. So I’ll let you all discover it. The critics like this one.
Please share your recommendations with the others. I do not subscribe to Netflix or Hulu or any of your new-fangled things. 🙂 I am constantly online working on the site and prefer to watch whatever is available on my dumb TV. But you are welcome to talk amongst yourself.
This is an open forum, so feel free to talk about other things. I VOTED on Friday. I hope you all will too.
Does anyone have a doll collector in the family? I have several Madame Alexander dolls in box with tissue never played with. Looking to sell. Also a baseball collection from maybe the 90s? Probably nothing good in there but you ever know. Some boxed some sleeved. Are there still baseball cards?/
Dolls in boxes are scary
I bought them because they would be super valuable in my old age. Is old. They are not that valuable. People don’t do dolls and baseball cards anymore. I suck at financial planning. I was like 18 at the time though so I applaud my old stupid self for thinking of me in between whoring around.
Try using Mecari to sell them.. I’ve been purging lately and selling all my goods on there with some success!! Email me if you want for some tips and tricks if you’re interested!!
be glad you dont have beanie babies! We have baseball cards, balls, and bats up the ass here. (figuratively)
I always love your comments but this one made my day.
omg I LOVED Madame Alexander dolls and had about 10 of them, I have them still at my mother’s house I think but they are all played with, I remember my Godmother getting me one and it cost almost 14 dollars!
I had a patient, I would go to her house, and she had about 20 Mme A dolls. They were all in disarray, and it broke my heart. I used to check the labels of all of them and sit them nicely on her shelf while she was doing her writing. (ugh rich people…)
I am watching Huli series called Better Things. It is good, funny without being silly, some drama, but not teary. I like it.
whoops sorry I made a hulu recommendation, well, hopefully others will see it. I am dying to see little women. I had them in Madame Alexander dolls (full circle!)
No it’s fine to recommend HULU or NETFLIX or whatever you fancy people have. lol. I just don’t have it. I have the Little Women dolls Madame Alexander dolls in my Hopeless chest.
One thing I’m not watching is the news. So tired of being beat over the head with virus statistics and political diatribe. Does negative commentary really sell that much? You’d think by now we would be ready for some good stuff. It’s a sad state when we watch reality TV to escape reality. We must be doing a lot of it if the 90 Day franchise is top bill. I wish I could fast forward through to the New Year. I’d slam that button and try to forget 2020 ever happened. Thanks for the recommendations. My viewing game needs the help. Here I am awake in the wee hours because I slept too much yesterday. The 4 Stages of Quarantine would be hysterical if it wasn’t so true for me. I am not one of those people who used the time to get in great shape.
Love After Lockup. I adore that Matt Sharp Productions are powering through the pandemic and pumping out content, LALU is my new obsession, and that ain’t easy from Australia.
I also ADORED Welcome to Plathville and happy the new season drops 10 November.
I’ve watched all of Succession through twice.
The Vow and Seduced about the Nexium cult is also great doco viewing. I wish I could see the doco about the theme park, Class Action Park? But I haven’t found it here yet.
90 Day has saved my life during COVID. And brought me to my LALU happy place.
I also had the eyewatering experience of seeing Wendy Williams show on YouTube. We don’t get her here. Something is obviously completely wrong, she had Suzanne Somers on and just babbled nonsense at her and cut her off again and again. This woman is sick and seems to be being propped up by a culture of sychophancy that is not helping her. I won’t get that 41 minutes back and I’m still nauseated. I was reminded that I cannot bear laugh tracks, canned laughter or hostages wearing ‘How you doing?’ face masks being forced at gunpoint to applaud for two minutes straight while Wendy spaces out. What’s going on?!
I loved the Professor with Johnny Depp. Funny sweet & at times quite moving. I revisited Before Sunrise on HBO Max one of my all time favorites. My other go to Notting Hill with Julia Roberts & Hugh Grant. The character of William Thacker is me to a T. It’s like looking in a mirror & seeing myself. Aside from the great looks that man is a carbon copy of me. Also as I finally treated myself & got Netflix on my phone I have watched the remake of 1968’s classic film Boys in the Band. Extremely dated yet still poignant in its portrayal of gay men in the 60’s. The remake of Rebecca with Armie Hammer & Lily James is incredibly well done. The scenery & sets are lush & atmospheric. Unsolved MYSTERIES new episodes are unbelievably good ( miss the narration by Robert Stack but still great episodes) not really into Bravo anymore too dark & overwrought with forced storylines & an abundance of extreme negativity. Giving up on all Bravo except RHONJ although I must admit I still devour all the recaps. Have a great weekend. Check out The Orphanage a film by G. Del Toro a spooky paranormal thriller about the angst of motherhood spectral visits by ghosts & cinematography & film score that will make you weep. EXTRAORDINARY film by the director of The Shape of Water.
Marc, you watch a lot of the same things I do on Netflix. Unsolved Mysteries of course. I haven’t watched the new Rebecca, but I’ve seen several versions. It’s good to know it’s worth watching. I watch about an episode a week of Umbrella Academy, because the violence gets to me and I need a break. I don’t know if you’ve watched The Good Place, but I find it hilarious.
I like all of the spooky/scary shows. Last I watched was the Haunting of Bly Manor.
I too read Tamara’s re-caps even if I don’t watch the shows. And I apologize to Tamara for posting about an off-topic show in an earlier post.
Belladonna rent The Orphanage & I promise you will love it. Spooky af & you will be amazed how great it is. My guy watches Umbrella Academy constantly & is always talking a out it ! Have a great week HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃
I am glad you also enjoyed Rebecca…I don’t understand the bad critic reviews. I felt like it is much better than the other two older versions. The first version is good but I hated Joan Fontaine in it. She ruined it for me. The second mini-series one was just okay.
I loved the Hitchcock version & this modern re telling is so good. Critics are bashing it left & right but I really enjoyed it. The cast & scenery alone are a reason to watch it ! Have a great week ! HAPPY HALLOWEEN 👻
Happy Halloween! I also just watched The Haunting of Hill House (little late to THAT party) after I got half way through The Haunting of Bly Manor. For those of you that dont know I wont do spoilers but The Haunting series on Netflix appears to be their answer to American Horror Story series…with recasts of the same actors. I have enjoyed them.
Watching The Spanish Princess with you TT. I started season 2 last night after having watched the first season when it came out. I love anything Phillipa Gregory. I’ve been so busy at work that I don’t even have time to go through the DVR. That is why I depend on your honest, snarky recaps. You save me so much time and can FF through the boring to the good bits.
I love Phillipa Gregory’s books. Amazon Prime has The White Princess, The White Queen and now The Spanish Princess, so good.
I’ve been working so much I almost forgot about the pandemic as I don’t have time to do anything normal anyway…which is a welcome distraction. TT, your dumb TV could become a smart TV and then you’d have a million more things to watch! 🙂 I bought a TV with built in ROKU for my office and have been watching tons of movies from the late 90s/early 2000s. Makes me happy and reminds me of better times. I hope everyone is doing good…hopefully this madness is over soon.
My sister loves LALU, I watched one season but there is too much 90 day stuff which I am highly addicted to, and have been since Season 1. I mean I revolve my Sundays around it. Love anything on TCM and the old movies. The background music alone is worth it. And on NatGeo is Locked Up Abroad which is terrifying and yet I can’t stop watching. Can’t listen to anything negative. I’m convinced it affects me at a cellular level. I rewatch any comedies and Sebastian Maniscalco is rip roaring pee in your pants hilarious if you were raised in the midwest. You can get some of his stuff on YouTube. Also just started rewatching Schitts Creek and it’s funnier every time I watch it. Also been making soups. Anyone have any good ones? I keep making leek, barley and mushroom. TT, get a smart TV. Netflix is the bomb.
I’m watching “Britannia” on Epix. The Roman’s have invaded 1st century Britain and there are Roman’s earring tribes and Druids!
I also downloaded Tubi and I’m watching lots of free foreign movies.
I am been watching The Real World on CBS All Access.
I am watching Harlots on the BBC. Period drama about prostitution in London set in Georgian times. Fantastic storyline and production. Highly recommend it.
I’ve been watching a lot of Evil Lives Here, Unsolved Mysteries, and other a True Crime shows. Evil Lives Here is narrated by a loved one of the evil doer, so it approaches cases more sensitively than some other shows. I think it’s well done.
I’m trying to find some paranormal investigation shows that are less silly. ‘tis the season. I’d also love to find some films or tv shows about the Revolutionary War.
I’m making a shelter for my “barn cat.” I can’t tell if he ever goes inside my barn (even though that’s his profession), so I’m thinking of putting the shelter near the area where I feed him because he often hangs out there all day. On the other hand, I worry that the food attracts predators to that area who would hurt him. He’s a tough kitty. I guess he knows how to survive.
thank you Bucky and thank you TT for this post!! i finally have something new to watch!! watching evil lives here ❤️
totally different show that i loved last week is LOVE LIFE W ANNA KENDRICK. binged the f out of it in one night. ❤️
I am a major IDAddict. Tonight is Twisted sisters and it is the story of the family who started the Long Island killer to be recognized.
That is all I will say, but highly recommend if you are into true crime.
Bucky, tonight Evil lives here :Shadows of D
eath starts.
Then a couple Signs of a psychopath. Great shows.
The new Evil lives here I have not seen a preview for so should be interesting.
The Exotic Joe property is going to be on one of the paranormal shows. I think Ghost Adventures? Just saw today for lol, just came on, the commercial. It is on the travel channel ghost adventures.
It is on tonight at 9:00.
Schitt’s Creek. All the seasons are available on Netflix but it is also on Comedy Central. It is totally hilarious and I love it!
Watching Season 2 of Brittania. I wish they released all the episodes at once like Netflix does. Can’t wait each week for the next one.
I watched one episode of Schitt’s Creek and thought me. My daughter convinced me to watch some more and now my husband and I are addicted. Very funny. I love that they are 30 minute episodes. We are already on Seasin 6!
I’m watching The Sopranos, which I had never seen, and I’ve just started watching The Crown. I LOVED The White Princess. I highly recommend going back and watching that. In order, it is The White Queen, The White Princess, and the Spanish Princess. I thought The White Princess was the best of the three. Now my cable provider has dropped Starz from packages and it has to be purchased separately. I’m considering it just for the Spanish Princess, but haven’t decided yet. Next up, I’m considering Breaking Bad, which I had also never seen, and my sister recommends Virgin River.
Thank for you this thread. I’m thinking a good series is the best way to get through the winter.
I am sincerely jealous that you are getting to experience The Crown for the first time. I LOVE that show.
Me too !
Its Halloween!!! Ish time. Currently my area has plans to allow social distanced trick or treat,so i am excited for a somewhat normal day. Apparently they are recommending a bowl for the kids a decent distance from the house, i am totally fine with that as long as i get my trick or treat and get to see the costumes. As we are allowing for festivities i am watching a lot of horror movies, Hocus Pocus, and the travel Channel which has turned into. Ghost hunting network to stay in the mood and out of politics.
It’s been a while since I watched Wendy Williams, so maybe I’m behind. WTF was that Friday episode????? So, so awkward. Even Norman was trying to fill all that dead space.
She used to be able to talk forever about nothing. I didn’t even make it to the first commercial break.
Did I delete the episode without watching? It comes on at 11 here and so does The View. I tape them both and so because I sleep with the TV on the channel usually changes from whatever I feel asleep watching to Wendy and it wakes me up a little bit. So I try to watch hot topics but usually fall back asleep. Was this the episode with the black leather jumpsuit? I need more reminders. What happened?
Yes, black jumpsuit. I went back to see if it got better, it did not. I think confused is a generous description.
Usually, even low energy Wendy can nail her teleprompter and ask a few questions she doesn’t care about. This was BAD. She just stopped so many times and was back on another conversation, it was hard to watch.
She was even a hostile mess with the guy doing dumb crafts, and not even in a funny way.
Fuck I deleted it. I need to see this episode!
Vinyl. She did manage to get that out. She babbled nonsense and as a first time viewer, I was appalled at watching someone so obviously either impaired or mentally ill. She couldn’t follow along when the guy recapping reality tv was trying to get through his segment and explain OC. She kept telling her on camera people and segment presenters (all gay men) that she loved them, and they had to say it back. Then applause. Then she had no idea what was being talked about. The Halloween craft segment was over in 10 seconds because Wendy was not returning any of her copresenter’s lobs and went off randomly about the eyelashes on a pumpkin. Her interview with Suzanne Somers, who had broken her hip, and at 1 stage faced paralysis, was just rude and spaced out. Wendy seemed to be hallucinating, I thought at one point. It was the saddest and most bizarre thing I have watched on TV for a long time. It’s on YouTube, the full episode.
Thanks I’ll go look. It looks like Emma is going to have to wait. I am watching a documentary about Eleanor Roosevelt on CNN right now. It is fascinating and I am woefully uneducated on American history,
ELEANOR KICKS ASS! Seriously, she was awesome, and gave no fucks in later years.
You must be watching their new series on First Ladies. I’ve only watched the one on Nancy Reagan. That was good too.
Her son Ron had a radio show on Air America. When that busted up, it continued locally on a Seattle station. I’m SO happy I was on the road when he said the entire two hours were going to be dedicated to Senator Kennedy, who had passed away a day or two before.
He then said he had a very special guest, a close friend of Senator Kennedy… then “Mom, are you there? Mom?” and proceeded to interview his mom about her dear friend Teddy. She BLASTED the Republicans who were refusing to go to the White House to meet with President Obama, talked about how she and her husband had Teddy over for dinner when they were living in the White House (her rule? No politics during dinner… after dinner she made sure they had the drinks, dessert, cigars, etc. and shut the door basically saying “have at it”… they could argue then.)
Besides WH staff, etc. she said that Teddy was the first to show up at the hospital when President Reagan was shot, and sat with her while they waited. He also called her on every birthday.
I wish I still had a recording of that episode of his show. It was fantastic.
The CNN show was pretty good. I got emotional when Ron got teary about his Dad’s Alzheimer’s. I can so relate.
Oh, I want to see that!! The Spanish Princess sounds good too even if it’s not accurate. Sometimes the exposure will awaken my curiosity and I’ll research obsessively.
If Netflix has a 30-day free trial at a time when the Bravo shows are slow you’ve got to jump in for a few weeks. Some of my favorites were The Crown, Ozark, Breaking Bad, The Keepers, Mindhunter (very dark but I tried to focus on the guys who created behavior science – fascinating), Schitts Creek is on Netflix now if you missed it, Dirty John (I think you saw that — there’s a great podcast too), Wentworth but the past season got too dark for me.
I watched all of these a while ago. Aside from Dateline and Bravo, I’m not watching anything regularly. Timely question for me.
A lot of trash TV, especially from TLC on demand- shows like High School Moms, Love at First Kiss and many similar to those.
On NBC- The Vow
Reality TV- LALU, 90 day fiancé
Netflix- Ratched!!, Schitt’s Creek!!!, Queen’s Gambit
Etc etc.
As you can see, I’ve got a lot of time on my hands. Hahahaha.
Typo. That should have read
NBC- The Con
Correction two The Con is on ABC. I went to NBC to see if I missed episodes and it wasn’t there. Instead I checked out Connecting it is about people talking in zooms during the quarantine. It’s a comedy. It is awful. I do not recommend it. The first episode is really stupid. I am watching episode three the last one (they are about 24 minutes) and the problem is I feel like I know all these idiots now. I have to see what stupid shit happens next. Again, NOT RECCOMENDING THIS. It is a complete waste of 24 minutes times three. It’s just I tend to stay in bad relationships for way too long and just need to see if it gets better.
Meanwhile, I Googled The CON on ABC and the one episode I saw was episode four, the royal weddingish one. I plan to catch up on that show in the middle of the night tonight. I have a ton to recap tonight and I have done no set ups and have not idea what I have to recap because I can’t check my DVR while watching this absurd connecting shit On Demand.
The Con is fantastic. I’ve only seen one episode.
What is LALU ? You are the second person to have mentioned it.
Love After Lock Up
Can you believe that one moronic girl actually showed up to court? I thought for sure he would lose his $50k
Netflix- Great British Bake Off!
Bravo- Below Deck Season 3 currently running a marathon…one of my fav seasons of all time! Connie with the whipped cream and peanut butter bras, Captain Lee’s iconic quips, great guests…chef Ben coming at the end to save the day…awesome!
Fox- The Masked Singer/ a guilty pleasure I cannot resist
I do not have tv. I watch stuff on the computer. I got Amazon Prime on the cheap and watch the free with Prime stuff. I like PBS/BBC stuff so am watching Grantchester and Endeavor both of which I like very much. Also, a Prime original Utopia is fucked the fuck up and awesome. And, I watched the new Borat movie last night. It is insidiously cutting social commentary and the woman who played his daughter is fantastic. Watch just to hear about McDonald Trump and the pussy hound Mike Pence.
BB peeps, don’t forget to get your ten votes in for Janelle today!
https://www.cbs.com/shows/big_brother/vote/americas-favorite-houseguest/
Also, I am Mona Lisa stage three. It looks like Fat Mona in stage four at least brushes her hair.
Also, I was just TOUCHING MY FACE and found a three inch chin hair. I should probably take a shower today. It’s been a few weeks.
I call those my “witchy-poo” hairs…kinda suitable for this time of year if you are gonna do Halloween (i stopped years ago because I live near Govt. Housing and really grown, scary AF , teenage boys or young men starting going trick or treating (without costumes or little siblings) and I was too chicken to say anything to them so just stopped doing it which sucked for all the little kids)….
The FBI:Declassified all episodes are really good.
On to, hmmm ID Evil lives here
Gonna check out THE LIE on Prime. Tonight is The Undoing. Psychological thriller. Perfect.
The folks and I discovered Yellowstone. Over the top soap opera where there really isn’t a totally likable character except for maybe the kid… I can’t watch too many before bed because it sometimes makes me anxious.
I am in LOVE with The Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Also the various “Secrets of the Zoo” series. Easily accessible on Disney+, but I also have seen them listed on the National Geographic Channel.
Oh, and I have started to gain back a taste for HW – started watching Orange County!!
Love Yellowstone
It gives me anxiety, but they don’t want to stop watching and I guess I want to know what happens next!
Rip is kinda hot!
Haven’t been able to watch anything with laughtracks since the late 70’s queenjen. Thanks Dad.
I wish you could watch Ozark TT. Love!
Lately I’m reduced to watching Maury ahd Wilkos from my DVR. Mind numbing fun.
Horror movies and hallmark Christmas movies are pretty much where I’m at this weekend. Later Fargo will be on, not as good as season 2, but still loads better than 3.
I forgot Lifetime’s 24/7 holiday movie marathon kicked off already! I cannot believe we are here again. Last year was a cozy one, and I enjoyed having those silly things on in the background while I made all kinds of merry. This year, it’s not the same. Just the ads for them make me heave a huge sigh and roll my eyes. It actually kind of nauseates. This year is cancelled for me, if for no better reason than it sucks big hairy sweaty monster balls. It doesn’t deserve festive. This is 100% Grinch’s year.
I was actually thinking about having a quarantine Christmas tree contest this year. I did it before. https://tamaratattles.com/2017/12/20/best-christmas-tree-contest/
This year I would have to have some sort of poll or committee or something. I was SO STRESSED! HOW DO YOU CHOOSE! THEY WERE ALL SO PRETTY!
Yes quarantine Christmas tree blog also recipes ugly Christmas sweaters shopping nightmares best Christmas memories & worst Christmas family office parties & light hearted nostalgia would be hella fun open forums ! I am in ! 🎅🤶
I loved the Christmas tree contest! Such greatness. All of them. I agree with Marc and think a Quarantine version would be lots of fun. For me, if I entered, it would be snark all the way. But maybe not. Perhaps everyone else’s enthusiasm would rub off in the best way.
My partner and I have been watching The Vow on HBO Max and next we’re going to continue with the follow up Seduced on Stars..
it’s all about the NVXIM cult thing, very dark obv but kind of fascinating.
For light hearted stuff we’ve been watching Darcey and Stacey on TLC and are of course excited for the last episode of MAFS, which I’ll be looking for your review if you decide on it!
Love after Lockup
Tell Me A Story on The CW
Emily (?) In Paris on Netflix
Wentworth on Netflix
Britianna on Epix
And for some unknown reason lots of cooking shows.
I watched the whole season of Emily in Paris when I went to my sisters for the weekend. I loved it.
I need Project Runway to come back. Anyone know when that starts? I don’t think I ever finished watching Tim and Heidi’s new show. Also didn’t finish Next In Fashion. So I guess I have those.
My husband and I just finished Lovecraft Ccountry on HBO and it was pretty good. Now we’re watching the British version of Utopia which is awesome!! Before Lovecraft Country we binged on The Boys and before that Umbrella Academy season 1 and season 2!! (Drinking wine and binging TV shows is sort of what we do each night after our five boys go to sleep haha)
What is Lovecraft Country about? Where do you watch the British version of Utopia ( liked that show) What is The Boys and What is Umbrella Academia and where do they air?
Just finished “Lovecraft Country.” One of the best shows I’ve seen in awhile. It has some of everything in it, mystery, sci-fi, adventure, mythology, fiction, non-fiction, you name it. Jurnee Smollett, Jonathan Majors and all the actors were superb in their roles. I would watch an episode several times because there is this group on YouTube that discuss the show afterwards, I call them ‘The Scholars.’ They would break down and dissect piece of the scenes, music, I mean which way the wind was blowing that day. Good show.
Sorry FOR THE FUCKTARD SPOILER. I got it as soon as I was told. WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE? We are looking for things to watch. GO FIND A SITE THAT TALKS ABOUT THE SHOW AND THE ENDING.
Guess I won’t be watching Lovecraft whatever.
A guy I religiously follow told me I shouldn’t watch Lovecraft if I am too scared to watch Handmaids. (I told him what I could and couldn’t watch – that while I love Jaws and Poltergeist, Handmaids gave me nightmares as a BOOK and I was a bit freaked (but impressed) by Get Out and that had to watch during the day. He said it was legit some of the scariest shit ever.
Watch it TT. The spoilers doesn’t come close as to watching the show. It’s really educational. I promise you it will not disappoint.
I put a reminder on Lovecraft. but have yet to watch an episode.
Maybe that would be a good binge? I was concerned with waiting the week and remembering what happened the prior week. A real issue lately, lol.
The Amazing Race
Hallmark Christmas movies started Friday
Football on Sundays
Old seasons of Survivor
succession on hbo is another great show.. slow to start, but phenomenal
The best! You are right; get through the first 3-4 episodes of character development and it is genius. Based on the Murdoch family, responsible for FOX news. Also fun to learn a bit about high level financial stuff I certainly never knew about.
My reward for three straight hours of recapping tonight was supposed to be catching up on The Con on ABC. As it turns out I was looking at the schedule wrong. I thought I had only seen episode four, but there has only been one episode so far and I saw it that night and it was fantastic. I was really hoping for three hours on demand.
Anyone have any good Network series that I am missing?
I am now watching Emma on HBO. A New series on HBO starts tonight called The Undoing. I just set it to tape. I’m not exactly sure what it is about and I like it that way. I just remember seeing an ad and sending myself a email to set a recording. Hoping that will be good. Now on to Emma.
I loved Emma! An older version with Gywnneth Paltrow is also good and very funny!
The Undoing I just bought the book. It is on sale for $2.99.
I am too inpatient for the week and next episodes, lol.
The book is 449 pages, I need to get on it.
I am looking forward to this, it is a show I probably will binge all episodes when it is down to the end. I forget a lot week to week.
But I’m totally in.
I have seen 2 “the con” episodes. I am liking the show also!
I have started to watch “filthy rich” with kim catrell, its fluff, but fun.
Found ER running on the POP channel in the mornings and have loved re watching that.
BInged Selling Sunset other than that not too much being watched.
Hope you get some sleep!
If you are into true crime and were not around during the Jodi Arias Trial…you can click here https://tamaratattles.com/?s=Jodi+Arias+ Scroll all the way back to the bottom and read up. I could still think and spell and write witty shit on some days by then..
Epic archives ! I am there like an archivist. Sherry Whitfield trying to make a dolla is my personal favorite He is a riot ! Everytime I watch I am slayed.
-Yellowstone. Binge watched all seasons. Scenery. Hit social justice via the cosa nostra cowboy highway. Kinda sexy.
-Lilyhammer. Steven Van Zant. (The same one) Hilarious! Stay for 3 episodes if you’re slow…weird concept, but belly laughing irony.
-Riviera. Great escape to France, Monaco underground art world and lifestyles of those other than moi!
-Outlander. Storyline can get crammed at end of each season, but characters, costumes, scenery, concept and relationships take you somewhere else.
I loved Yellowstone but it has gotten a little ridiculous. They’re a step away from a storyline about an exorcism because Ree Drummond gets possessed.
The first season was great. Now I watch it for the scenery and horsies.
I decided to stop Emma to get through my emails, and my TV was on CNN and it is a show about First Ladies and this episode is about Elanor (sp?) Roosevelt. It is so fascinating I cannot stop watching.
Seriously! Stop all of that and watch Succession—before the election. Get back to this other stuff after Nov 3.
Are you catching up or is there a new season? I’ve watched before and loved it. I THINK my season endend at an amusement park they owned or is that the wrong show?
Y’all. 90 Day Fiance the Other Way is my favorite show but I was dragging yesterday. I didn’t know how I would get through it I was so tired. But I was fine and I did and then I did Potomac and THEN I DID and emergency Wendy Williams recap and then I finally laid down. And I can’t sleep. I’m good sleeper and one of my shrinks once prescribed some sort of pill for me that was $20 for one pill because he thought I had narcolepsy. And I often think I do. I can sleep for 15 hours at times. But it made me really sick so that didn’t work.
I say all of this to say, I can sleep at any time at any moment and I am finally done recapping. I am exhausted. My everything hurts and I can’t sleep. WTF? ARGH this is a new thing.
If you like historical dramas (soap operas), check out Magnificent Century on Facebook Watch. It’s a Turkish TV series about the Ottoman Empire and Suliman the Magnificent starting in 1520. It ran for 4 seasons and has 139 episodes. It’s in Turkish with English subtitles. I am obsessed 🤩. Check it out. You won’t regret it.
I don’t have any of the Netflix, Hulu, or pay channels but I have been watching all the old “The Office” and “Parks and Rec” that I never watched when they were actually on TV. Also I found Real Housewives of Sydney online and watched the first 6 episodes of season 1. Those women don’t mess around!
I’ve been watching Fear the Walking Dead, the World Series, the young and the restless, some football, the first seasons of RHONY which are gold, and now I’m watching the 375th hurricane in the gulf. This one isn’t missing us though. At least it should be weak. Nothing says Halloween like taking down my decorations for a storm and making treat bags during a hurricane. I was already late putting up decorations because of a hurricane! This is just beyond ridiculous. My mom wants me to wash everything that can be washed because of Katrina flashbacks. Im not worried too much regarding this one but the last Greek alphabet storm left some of Vicksburg without power for like 48 hours. Y’all. Vicksburg is four hours north of the Gulf. You just never know what a hurricane will do. Our suckass COVID denier superintendent sent out a phone call saying he didn’t feel the need to close the schools or release early today. Our high school is the county shelter!! There are plenty of ppl who will need shelter but this fucker is of the belief that he’s rich and special because God loves him most and apparently god just doesn’t care about those in mobile homes or those who live along the 500 various waterways nearby. Did I mention that I hate it his guts?
Hang in there girl! xo ~tt
Thanks TT. Your reply made my afternoon. I’m not typically a homicidal spaz but between 24/7 election coverage, extended family psycho drama, and a Halloween hurricane I’m losing my shit. Somehow I seem to be together and I think I look normal; no one has informed me that I’m pants free in public yet so I’m maintaining somehow.
You still have your sense of humor and that’s huge! I’m jaded but this comment grabbed me. Hang in there!!
Thanks Dizzy! I’m trying to sleep with no power; we just got cell data back. Zeta really fucked shit up. The morning damage survey is going to be interesting but I’m most thankful that I don’t have a tree through my roof or water in my home so I’m good. Cant wait to read some recaps and catch up on some shows. I’m still shocked by the wind readings recorded before we lost all contact. I’m sending all of the prayers to the gulf coast. None of us were expecting a storm this large let alone a storm that maintained cat status for hours upon hours. Unheard of for late October.
I used to to have photos in the right side of my site that showed photos of the most popular posts in order. Somehow… that just stopped happening and I can’t figure out how to get it back and I NEED THAT. Y’all might not have used it but it was very helpful to me. WHY DID IT GO AWAY AND HOW DO I GET IT BACK?
I don’t have photos on the right but I do have links……
Big sky looks good. It is from Big little lies creator David E. Kelly. Starts Tue the 17th on ABC.
I guess it is about missing girls and the scenery looks amazing in Montana.
