It couldn't have been more perfect than that. Totally. As bummed as I am that it's done, that was amazing. It's kind of bonkers how it was accidentally a great series finale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's totally conceivable that Judd and Pete figured this would be it and make the season finale more of a series finale and then if it's picked back up, cool, keep moving on.

RIPPA Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Blacklist has been officially been picked up for its 7th season It is unclear if the 7th season will be its last or not as James Spader's deal is up at the end of said 7th season. Still plenty of time though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert S Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Turning your brain off and enjoying Spader's performance (okay, the writing of his monologues, assuming that they are not adlibbed, is also quite decent) is the way to watch that show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H. Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 It is a shame Netflix bailed on One Day At A Time as it was actually way better than I thought it was going to be. Especially with it ending on that cliffhanger! James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 For anyone that watches the channel, or has a significant other that religiously watches the channel, especially from November to After Valentine's Day, Hallmark has terminated the contract of Lori Laughlin, unsuprisingly.

Contentious C Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 But did they send her a card as notice? Relatedly, but not really "current TV"-ish, if the next season of Bojack Horseman doesn't make an utterly vicious joke at Felicity Huffman's expense, I will be disappointed. At least, for however long it takes me to go in the kitchen and make dinner. More likely they will make a vicious joke and then have Bojack do something similar but even more egregious.

JR) in season 1to focusing on Sue Ellen and developing her character more fully. Season 1 Sue Ellen seems more like window dressing than an actual character but then season 2 hits and so much Sue Ellen character development happens. You also get to see Ray Krebbs go from dude messing around with Lucy to a genuinely stand up dude (of ocurse once they reveal Ray is Jock's son forget ever mentioning how Lucy was messing around with her UNCLE!). I think my favorite character is Jock because he is hard ass wit heverybody except Miss Ellie. I mean Jock takes shit from no one. Not Bobbt, not JR and he isn't having any of Lucy's nonsense. And Hey, Cliff Barnes started off as pretty honest dude before taking te Barnes/Ewing feud to the depth of insanity. Man Dallas was good soapy fun. I'm starting on the first season of Dynasty but that might be more for the whole "Lookit that Pamela Sue Martin" factor than it actually being compelling James When we lived in Germany, we had a satellite TV setup that would pick up channels from the UK. Not long after we got there and got set up, CBS Drama (one of a few different UK CBS channels) started from Season 1, Episode 1 of Dallas and played the entire series straight through. An episode every Monday through Friday. Did the same with Knots Landing, which they put on right after Dallas. And then once they played the season finale, they went right back to the first episode and did it again. I was way too young to appreciate either of those shows when they were originally on, but damn, they were some pretty good fun. I think we saw every episode of both shows at least twice.

AxB Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 The UK version of the Hallmark Channel is out of business. But when it was in business, for a while it would show random episodes of Homicide: Life on the Street every day. So I emailed them and asked if they could show them in order instead. And they didn't respond. But they did suddenly show season one episode one, followed by episode two, and so on until they'd shown all seven seasons in full, in order (except they moved one ep up a couple of days, so the Valentine's Day* episode aired on Feb 14th, rather than the 16th like it would have if they'd been in order). And seasons six and seven had never aired in the UK before. Then they gave the post-show TV movie it's UK premiere (and indeed, only UK showing ever). And it was all for me~! * They put together an advert to suggest that people should spend their entire Valentine's evening watching the Hallmark channel. At one point in the valentine's episode of Homicide, Detective Lewis says "Valentine's Day ain't nothing but a Hallmark holiday". Which in the context of the episode was him calling the day out as a fake holiday, but suddenly became an endorsement of the channel he was appearing on instead. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After two in the morning, it's all late night / early morning nat6ional news until about five when the local news is on until the morning talks fire up at seven.

HumanChessgame Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Seconding the hype for Love, Death, and Robots. A lot of these episodes are like stories Philip K. Dick never wrote. Some of the others make me think of how much better Black Mirror could be if the episodes were a decent length. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
