TV 19 - Simpsons Did It

[dxmnkd316]

So my wife started watching Chicago Fire on Peacock to kill time. I've watched a few episodes and it's good for what it is.

What irks me most when watching, and maybe its a touch of the 'tism, but the disparity of the call out on-scene locations sometimes egregiously not matching their filming location gives me an aneurysm.

"600 North Dearborn" - Oh good they're in the financial district.... wait, that's the abandoned area under I-55 at Ashland.

"1200 18th St" - Oh, they're gonna be in the Pilen neighborhood... why are they back under I-55 at Ashland?

"5700 Woodlawn" - Oooh Hyde Park near the Museum of Science and Industry... WHY THE **** ARE THEY COMPLETELY THE WRONG DIRECTION NEAR THE EDENS EXPRESSWAY???


Is it this bad when people in other metros watch shows based in areas they live/work closely?

The Chicago series are all good for what they are. Among network dreck, they float to the top. They won't win awards, they aren't going to make you question your existence, but they're better than that 911 garbage and virtually all cop dramas.

Dude, you don’t wanna know how much everything in Mystery Alaska irks me.

So you’re saying you don’t know where to go for a rub and a tug?

I didn't LOVE episode 1 of Mr. And Mrs. Smith but episode 2 has me sold.

Every show about New York, ever.

For anyone on the “bill Maher sounds better!” Train

bill says he did a two hour interview with Kanye but won’t air it, because he spent the time attacking Israel and Jews and saying they’re the worst people on earth.

Gina Carano sues The Mouse for wrongful termination with funding from Elmo.

I'm sure she'd have more success nailing Jello to a tree, but if she wants to..

Bodies on Netflix gets a solid B+. Nothing super original as a time-travel mystery, but it's well-executed and acted. 6 episodes to set up the whole loop over the 4 time periods, slowly interweaving them together. Penultimate episode clarifies the loop from the antagonist's standpoint, and climax is predictable but satisfying.

Robinette would be awesome...but that character hates Whitey ;^)

I can't believe Waterston is leaving I thougIt he would die first!

End of an era - Sam Waterston leaving Law & Order

I was thrilled when it was announced Sam was returning as the legendary Jack McCoy when the series was rebooted. This year he was only in a scene or two - most likely due to the fact that he's in his early 80s. Tony Goldwyn is replacing him, and no disrespect to him but they should have brought back Linus Roache (Mike Cutter), Richard L Brooks (Paul Robinette) or Carey Lowell (Jamie Ross) to keep with the continuity from the original series. The reboot is nowhere near as good as it was - the writing is horrible. But I'm am L&O diehard and I will watch it till it's over.

Hoping that Donald Glover's talents aren't wasted in Mr and Mrs Smith.

TIL Dasha Nekrasova from Succession co-founded the Red Scare podcast. That is... that is very weird.
