SirFozzie Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 So, for those of us following BattleBots, they now have a nightly (3x a week) Live Show in Vegas (Destruct-a-Thon). They contracted teams to build lower cost versions of BattleBots, with several of each being made, and running five fights a night. The BB subreddit had someone there for a show, and it included one of the Bots taking on a slot machine. Yes, an actual slot machine. No hints on who won THAT battle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow, one day, we ended up talking Who's The Boss and the discussion turned to Judith Light. No idea what the context was. Anyway, one of my friends on the chain is an airline pilot. The very next day, he sends us a pic of him with Judith Light. She was on his flight. We tried manifesting some other celebs for him to meet, but no luck. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 According to Deadline, Yellowstone may be coming to an end thanks to Costner's upcoming movie and his desire to spend fewer days filming the show. There are said to be plans to move several big Yellowstone characters over to a new, Matthew McConaughey-led series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) Honestly, storyline wise it actually makes sense. Send Beth, Rip, and the Cowboys down to 6666 and lose everyone else. Edited February 7, 2023 by Raziel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I mean, it’s Beth’s show at this point. You could kill off Costner and roll on just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why they keep flogging this horse. Check out YouTube for episodes of Amanda's by the Sea, with Bea Arthur playing the Basil part, or Payne, with John Larroquette in the Basil role, for reasons why American writers do no get British comedy. American producers should leave Are You Being Served, Fawlty Towers, The IT Crowd, and pretty much every other "classic" Brit-com alone. Yes, The Office was surpassed by the redo, but they probably don't understand why either worked in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Beavis and Butthead will be taking the dreaded "after South Park" deathslot starting this Wednesday as they'll be airing the episodes that have been on Paramount+ since August on cable TV for a few weeks. So, in theory, people watching these episodes might get them hooked up for another season. But who really knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 James Corden's reign of terror is nearly over and CBS has finally announced they're replacing him with a reboot of At Midnight No word on whether or not Chris Hardwick will be back to host, or frankly, when Corden has decided to actually leave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Really? I always liked @Midnight. What they should bring back though from back in the days of good Comedy Central, if they had the guts, would be Tough Crowd. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Colin Quinn? Really? Just what we need, more politically centrist leaning, milquetoast comedians who think you should be able to tell any kind of joke you want because it’s “comedy”. I mean, that would be right up Colbert’s alley honestly. Fuck it, let’s go for the absolute worst trifecta and get Jon Stewart involved somehow too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 No, the worst trifecta would involve Bill Maher, if you really want centrist leaning milquetoast comedians. Tough Crowd was as good as its guests, not its host, so they'd have to be pretty good to stand up to the lack of Patrice and Greg Giraldo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) You can't do Tough Crowd again without Patrice. I was just talking with a friend the other day about how if Patrice were alive today and got healthy he would have been bigger than Chappelle by this point. Diabetes is a motherfucker though.

Curt McGirt Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I found out last night that I have MGM+ On Demand and MGM+ Drive-In! They played the UNCUT Robocop last night which I've never seen. The death of Mr. Kinney is so OTT. Then Buckaroo Banzai came on; I skipped a chunk in the middle but was otherwise thoroughly entertained. You might blame consumption of certain "wild flowers" for this, if you're a hater. Tank Girl came on after but I just had no more left in the tank (har har).
