Oso planning to go pro
I remember that Bob Newhart was a Loyola grad and the actor who played his friend, Jerry (?) the dentist, was a Marquette grad. In one episode, they went to the Loyola Marquette game which way back then was still a rivalry. There may have been just a touch of trash talking between them before leaving for the game but I am not sure. Since it was Bob's show, of course Loyola won the game.
Finally got into Ted Lasso. It actually lives up to the hype and more.That scene after the FA cup semifinal was gut wrenching.Though not a fan of the latest episode. Didn’t get it at all.
Off 'watching' topic but on Bob Newhart topic....back in the mid 90's I was gifted tickets to a theatre-in-the-round with Bob Newhart followed by the Neville Brothers. GF and I were the youngest there by 30yrs and Newhart was ABSOLUTELY FILTHY and absolutely hilarious. He got more raunchy the more offended the audience got, it was a masters class in comedy.
We watched both of those episodes last night, and I agree completely. S2E8 (the one with the FA Cup semifinal) was one of the best episodes of the series. S2E9 (the Coach Beard episode)…not so great. It had a couple good moments, but I wasn’t a fan. I kept thinking that it was going to be revealed to be a dream.
I read that Lasso was planned as 3 10-episode seasons, but Apple changed the order to 12 episodes for this season. This one and Xmas were added to not impact the overall storyline. Definitely different/strange, but I didn't dislike it.
That's interesting and makes a lot of sense.I wouldn't say that I "disliked" it, but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as other episodes. Like JWags, I really like Coach Beard and once it became apparent that the episode was going to focus on him, I was hoping that we'd get a better look at why he is the way he is.P.S. I was really pleased to see that Ted Lasso got some hardware at the Emmys last night (Best Comedy, Lead Actor, Supporting Actress and Supporting Actor). And Coach Beard was rocking the tophat and cane!P.P.S. On an unrelated note, I was also glad to see that Kate Winslet won an Emmy for her work on Mare of Easttown.
Sex Education Season 3 is fantastic. Still endearing and oddly wholesome, but I feel like its even funnier than the last 2 seasons. I was in tears during the episode in France.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Just started Only Murders in the Building on Hulu. It’s with Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. Interesting story and really fun watch. Excited to see where it goes.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
I watched White Lotus and will save you the trouble: Skip this. Predictable plot, dumb characters, stupid ending.
The Squid Game on Netflix while the premise really out there and very violent, is really well done in terms of direction, acting, and the music…which I’m a sucker for.
Does anyone else go back and re-watch the entire series whenever a new season drops? If a series has 5+ seasons and I've stuck with it that long, I might only do the last season before the new one, but with something like Sex Education I went back to S1E1 yesterday, and I think I'm going to be able to pace it out perfectly to finish those three seasons and be right in the middle of restarting You when season three of that drops on the 15th. Both very good IMO.
Yes, especially if there tends to be a lot of reference to past events in the series. For example, I plan to re-watch "Better Call Saul" before the next season premiers.
