    The Orville on Hulu

    My Fox channels got blacked out with a pricing dispute, so all I have is an hour long image of a placard saying how Fox is a bunch of crooks, and how Spectrum is only trying to represent our best interests. :( Seeing all the posts, I guess I was 'fortunate'. Probably won't bother to grab it online.

    Mr Ed was just a remake of Francis the talking Mule.

    All good, but to me the high point was the genuine expressions of feelings between Sheldon and Amy. This should have been the perfect place to end the series. Unfortunately, it is going to have its jump the shark season next year.

    my bet is a closing credit item in next episode

    18-20 minute episodes seem to be typical for sitcoms for years now. DVR Commercial skip is your friend.

    Young Sheldon

    Annie Potts makes the show work.

    Young Sheldon

    My recollection was that we tended to use Kermit for file transfers back in the mid 80s. It was available, but might not have been common on HP-UX systems I was working on.

    Young Sheldon

    Meemaw is played by Annie Potts (Ghostbusters, Designing Women, etc) A wonderful actor. Sheldon's Mom in BBT is played by Laurie Metcalf Sheldon's mom in Young Sheldon is played by Zoe Perry, who is Laurie Metcalf's daughter.

    Young Sheldon

    BBT is always careful to get the science correct. Tonight's episode of Young Sheldon was sloppy. The orbital stuff looked OK although the dialog was trivial. However this is supposed to take place in 1984-5. They referenced FTP and PID controllers. This stuff is 5-15 years in the future.

    The Orville on Hulu

    Try Heinlein's short story "All You Zombies" from the 1940s. He doesn't explain it either.

    Well, it rebroadcast overnight and TIVO picked it up. I really liked the episode.

    Well, my recording last night got blasted by MLB playoffs. Looks like they will rebroadcast on Sunday.

    Actually, I thought it kind of dragged along. I am thinking the show has now run its course and they need to wrap it up.

    Young Sheldon

    Among other things, the writers are too hampered by what we know from BBT. Young Sheldon is too sweet and innocent, and really hasn't shown any real insights yet. That's in spite of endless comments on how smart he is without any demonstration of same. I see it gone at mid-season unless they...

    The Orville on Hulu

    In our market, it was pre-empted for a 90 minute media event over the Packers home opener win. Finally aired at midnight. Thank goodness for TIVO. FWIW, I liked it and will leave a season pass running for now.

    Big Bang Theory discussion

    well, BBT is the lead in and that is going to get high initial viewership. The reason I was saying it wasn't going to work is that adult Sheldon only works because of a strong ensemble to act as his foil. Young Sheldon is going to have his mother, his siblings and likely older classmates...

    Young Sheldon spinoff. This doesn't seem to be well thought out. Don't see it succeeding: http://www.cbs.com/shows/big_bang_theory/news/1006793/cbs-announces-young-sheldon-a-hilarious-spinoff-of-the-big-bang-theory/

    Thanks for remembering a few. The only one I could come up with was The Jeffersons.

    Big Bang Theory discussion

    I made a distinction in my original post. TV is always doing this attempt to introduce a spinoff by having a single episode of an established show introduce the characters. I don't consider those true spinoffs. In my mind a spinoff is where established characters on a show become a new and...

    Big Bang Theory discussion

    No. BBT is an ensemble show. It isn't going to work by spinning off a character and no existing cast. For that matter, it is tough to think of a legitimate successful spin-off. Not counting the single episode intro episodes like Mork's appearance on happy Days. The only one I can really...
