Finished season 3 of The Man In The High Castle the other night—mesmerizing. Rufus Sewell in particular is outstanding. The fourth and final season arrives on November 15.

I really do need to undertake another viewing of Mad Men, which was appointment TV for me while it was airing. Same with The Wire and The Sopranos, though I came to those shows after they’d finished their respective runs. Another show that I’ve never gotten around to but have in the queue is Boardwalk Empire.

Country - Ken Burns doc., better than I thought it would be.

Over at Hoffman Forum, there seem to be the same discussions we had over his Jazz show.

IMO this is better than the jazz doc. Burns did. Seems more inclusive, although I've got 10 hours to go. More banjo than I need (so far - 3 episodes), but still pretty good.

Criminal : United Kingdom

Image result for criminal united kingdom

Very good indeed.

A trilogy of police interviews with slippery, unsavoury miscreants.

The level of acting and writing are impressive.

Recommended.

I didn't make it past the first episode. Did they decide whether demons are real or not, or is that the series premise?

The premise is just that. I think it's well done by the team behind The Good Fight.

It's off the wall , but quite well written and performed with conviction and humour.

I've been watching old episode of Match Game on YouTube and this segment from one episode has got to be one of the funniest game show moments of all time.

 

Joyce Bulifant with that black hair is not even slightly unattractive!

I hate to sound like one of those old geezers who say "they sure don't make 'em like that anymore", but it certainly has been years since I laughed this hard at any sketch comedy show I've seen on TV  This is a brilliant combination of very clever writing and very talented performers.  Harvey Korman doing a wonderful pseudo-Rex Harrison singing a faux Cole Porter tune is hilariously satisfying.  And check out the trumpet "mutes" in the "The Boy In Black Is Blue" number.  It's a very funny, very clever little bit that didn't even need to be there, but thank goodness some one thought it up.

A lot of butthurt white people foaming at the mouth over at IMDB didn't. :lol:

Yes, it was terrific. I also had a laugh at all the pathetic , whining racist comments.

Oh gosh I can hardly read comments anywhere any longer. Not unless I want to be misanthropic and lose a lot of sleep.

It cannot be easy not being a wingnut and living in the USA or UK right now.

I think it's a SJW's wet dream, but I'm interested to see where it goes. 

I need to see it again to figure out everything that's going on. Like read up on the actual Tulsa race massacre and spot references to the comic which I haven't read in years.

I used to work with a lady whose grandparents were directly impacted by that event. Ugly, ugly, ugly. Beyond ugly. You can't make it too ugly how all that went down, no matter how ugly you make it, it will not be as ugly as the reality.

And still less than 100 years ago, Babe Ruth was playing with the Yankees. Glory days.
