So is this one distinct from Kevin Smith's MOTU?

Yes. It's a brand-new reboot, totally from scratch. Think of it similar to the 2012 TMNT animated series. It's also totally its own thing instead of like a vague continuation of past versions, ie say the 2007 animated TMNT movie or Superman Returns.

I'll have to check it out. Never seen anything TMNT related, other than knowing they're heroes on the half shell and that Vanilla Ice was the star of the second movie.

The first movie is great in a cheesy way.  So many hilarious one-liners.

HBO channels are up again on Dish. DEADWOOD TIME~!

I put it that in the Comic Book Thread since I figured it made sense there just in case folks were having a case of deja vu

Of course, it should have been in the DC TV section, but nit picks.

So how are shows for Peacock and Apple tv? I never really hear anything about them except for Ted Lasso.

Peacock has Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Columbo and Rockford Files.

Peacock - The Saved By The Bell reboot and Rutherford Falls were both good and Girls 5 Eva was great. None of the dramas on Peacock seem interesting to me.

Apple TV+ - Mythic Quest is really good, the first season of The Morning Show was good(second season just started), For All Mankind is a great concept but ended up not being a good show and the end of the second season was DUMB!!!!!!, Physical has been on my list but haven't started yet. Like Peacock the rest of the Apple TV+ shows don't interest me enough to start watching.

Did John Stewart start his show yet on Apple TV+?  His show would be the only thing I'd be interested in on there assuming it's still good.

Thursday.

The podcast to go along with it looks like it will be on Mondays.

[NikoBaltimore]

Thanks.  I saw him in commercials for the service but didn't see a start date.  I'll have to keep an eye to see how it fares.

[Craig H]

Also, I just watched the trailer for the Invasion series on my phone (it's blocked on my work computer). That looks dope and right up my alley. Starts 10/22 on Apple Plus. And I still need to start watching Foundation.

[Niners Fan in CT]

Apple+ is trying their ass off buying up a ton of top notch talent for projects but i haven't watched any of them yet.  

[Curt McGirt]

 

Here's some bonus Stewart for you.

FYI the correct answer for action movie is Mad Max

It’s advertised as a “hybrid” comedy show, but it’s basically 60 Minutes.

[Contentious C]

I got a free year of AMC Plus to go with changing my Internet service, but I gotta wonder what the fucking point of this channel is when they don't have ANY of the prior seasons of TWD available.

Oh well, Orphan Black it is.

[Curt McGirt]

That is INCREDIBLY stupid. It's like HBO Max not carrying The Sopranos.

[AxB]

The Walking Dead? That's on Disney Plus over here. Although why you'd bother watching it, I don't know. It's baaaaaaad.

[Craig H]

Is this where we discuss John Stewart's show?

Some of my favorite stuff from his run on the Daily Show was when he'd cover something serious or have a serious talk about something that would break up the humor. This was more having a little bit of humor break up all of the serious stuff. I think what he covered was incredibly important, but by the end of it, I just felt really fucking sad and helpless.

One of my wife's best friends is an army vet and she suffers from exposure to burn pits. Thankfully, nothing like cancer, and hopefully never, but she has other problems that are fairly serious.

I’ll second the love for Rutherford Falls and Mythic Quest. The former is produced (but not showrun, iirc) by Mike Schur of Office, Parks & Rec, Brooklyn 99, and The Good Place. It’s not at the level of those shows, but none of those shows, save the last, we’re great in their first seasons either.  It’s a pretty short first season, as I think I binged it in just a few nights.

The Punky Brewster revival on Peacock is good. AP Bio is good. The revival of SBTB wasn't that great.

 

 

[Eivion]

So only sitcoms are worthwhile? Kind of disappointing to hear.
