What's new

What are you watching on TV right now?

I rewatched Madam Secretary.
I thoroughly enjoy Nadia's Time to Eat. The colors cheer me up immensely. I have tried many of her shortcuts and they work wonderfully well. Happy taste buds I say.
David Attenborough's Life in Color is my go to show to cheer up. Something about the narration makes me think positive.
Prison Break and its tatoos had me hooked too. The tatoos took 4.5 hours to be applied every time!

Midnight Mass - Netflix......
 
Don't watch too much telly these days unless I'm away in the Motorhome but have sonme snyde streaming apps which allow me to watch just about anything, whether TV series, box sets, films etc.

Watched Malignant last night. Decent enough horror flick.
 
Got rid of tv years ago. The only time I see it is when I visit my young 'uns.
Don't miss it a bit. Now if I could ween myself off the @#$%^& computer.
 
Watched The Night House last night.

Slow burn of a horror and a little weird but decent enough.
 
Fury v Wilder 3 undercard building up to the main event.
 
Rise Of The Footsoldier Origins: The Tony Tucker Story
 
Just watched " The Many Saints of Newark " on HBO. It's the prequel to the series " The Sopranos ". Gandolfini's son is the spitting image of him. I think any fan of the series will like this. The part where baby Christopher refuses to go to Tony and the old lady's words are cause for some thought;)
 
Anniversaries: Part 1, "Macross" and "Robotech"

This is a story of youthful energy and a lot of luck -- both good and bad.

Lately I have run across a lot of anniversary celebrations. "Macross" is a Japanese anime TV series that semi-accidentally succeeded -- all about 40 years ago, first in Japan, and then a few years later in North America and the rest of the world, as part of the "Robotech" series. If YouTube had been around in the 1980's I believe it would have been much bigger. And of course, having been a hit, it has had some follow ups. And part of the big story is, yes, another "Macross" is coming. But anyway, the past is, for me, more interesting right now:

The "truth" about the success of Macross is entertainment world stuff, so do not believe that anything written about it is necessarily real. I believe about it what I believe. But one thing I believe is that part of the success came from the lucky casting of the voice actress who covered both spoken and singing voices for "Lynn Minmay" in Japan. She was young, pretty, and became a hit from that job. No, she never became as big as a major recording hit like, say, Beyonce, or Taylor Swift. It's hard to gauge exactly, but she definitely was a big deal. And in Japan, as a voice actress, she got seen and promoted.

And yes, she is still around:

Anyway, that's one of my recent trips down memory lane.
 
Gone for good - Netflix.....

Anniversaries Pt 2: "Babylon 5"

The movie "The Gathering" debuted 1993 and the show in 1994. Over half the "main cast" has passed away, and most notably, in Jan 2021, Myra Furlan, who was the female lead. A few weeks ago it was announced that the show would be rebooted.
