TV 20 - Sorry no fancy title

Psych is on Peacock (as is Burn Notice I think) so I wouldn't count on that happening any time soon.

Start Resident Alien. They added it a couple months ago, and I’m only a few episodes in. Formulaic as all hell, but really well done.
 
Just watched S3E1 of The Bear, and I think I can say without exaggeration that it was one of the best episodes of anything I've ever seen.

I’m not loving the new season yet but it’s not at all bad- for me, 2 was so good I’m not sure how it gets topped

Not sure where this season will rank overall, but I found Ep1 to be a work of television art. The montage/vignettes with the foreboding musical score gave us a lot more depth to Carmy, and for me was a strong way to follow the S2 finale.

We are fortunate to have this art, and it is a shock that it is a hit. How can something of such high quality and beauty also appeal to such a large number of average people? It's a miracle, like Chartres cathedral.

I would have expected it to be hooted down by the swine. Maybe when something is so sublime it even the penetrates into the dullards, who, for once, subside their adolescent sarcasm and stare, moved, silently picking their noses, in the presence of what humanity can do at its best.
 
I believe it. I sense that Kepler and I are similar in that we complain about the common, vulgar masses a lot within our bubbles of like-minded, privileged, educated folk (like what's left of this board), but generally avoid engaging with or intentionally provoking the apes out in the wild. It's rarely worth the time and energy spent.

My dad started out as a laborer and was a lifelong autodidact, like so many of his generation. He had discernment and intelligence and insight. He had, in a word, taste. It has nothing to do with privilege, or wealth. Education can help, or at least education between 1250 and 1950 helped, but it's certainly not dispositive.

Being a boob is a matter of one's choices, not birth. If you exercise curiosity and intelligence and the ability to wonder at nature and mankind, you are a human being. If you do not because of some inane posturing of egalitarianism, you are an animal. There is no reason to pretend the noises emitted by animals have any worth.

Elitism based on wealth or pedigree is idiocy. Elitism based on perceptiveness is the highest respect for humanity.

Nobody with an ounce of brains makes it out of fourth grade without realizing that the majority of people can only be approached with caution. If you try to share anything of value with the average man, he will become some permutation of confused, afraid, offended, and angry.

Small talk, sports, and alcohol were invented so we could travel among you, when that is absolutely unavoidable, unnoticed, and not be lynched.

That's their business model moving forward. They plan on spending money on buying rights to older hit shows instead of the more costly route of creating new shows.

I also read that Netflix is making a ton of money on their new ad based tier. Which I find interesting because to be fair, I have never been inundated with ads from them like I am with any other streaming service. They truly are very few with very short breaks. They must be able to charge more because of the sheer number advantage they have with their customer base, so they can make the money and not tick off the customers at the same time. A rare combination.

So we're all out here living life as if we're all Frasier Crane (original series)?
