****. Was hoping her next show would be some sort of beach thing where she was in a bikini 90% of the time.

I'm a little behind....did they manage to solve the case on NCIS this week?

Bachelorette returns on 5/23 for Jo Jo. If there's enough interest we should start a Fantasy league.

I'm willing to do the book keeping; just reply to this post if you're interested and I'll set it up in time for a draft.

We will go by bios since it's too hard to coordinate everybody on the actual limo intros. Bios will appear here eventually. (Right now those are last cycle's, unless they've decided to do a lesbian cycle which I think every person on Earth would watch so why not?

Methinks that the Russian dude's bedroom talk might get him in trouble. Sidenote: he bangs any woman he meets. That dude is a total player.

I did one last season with some college friends who also watch because their wives make them. Yeah, that's the ticket. It actually made it fun, I found myself yelling at the screen once or twice. Dammit Caila, so close.

I don't know if Bachelorette will be as good for a fantasy league as Bachelor, though, the contestants are less insane. That said, if I can do an auto-draft I'm in.

A buddy, my brother, and I watched 90210 religiously due to it getting women to visit. We (the guys) MSTK3'd the show, of course, and it did end up creating one relationship. :)

They've offered DiNozzo his own team on a number of occasions, and he's turned them down to stay with Gibbs.

And Handy, I know they announced his leaving, but I'm saying, from the last couple episodes, it's obvious they're going to reunite him with Ziva.

DiNozzo moves to Israel, converts to Judaism, and joins Mossad, eh?
 
Re: TV, or not TV, that is the question

Found Curb Your Enthusiasm on Amazon Prime. Into about the third season right now. I saw a few episodes back in the day when it would syndicate on TV Guide (does that even exist anymore?) and thought it was hilarious, but never was able to see the full series.

Very niche humor, like they took a sliver of Seinfeld and ramped it up to 100, but it's right up my alley. Only problem is getting others into it. A good amount on the jokes build up through the plots each season and the series as a whole, so it's tough to introduce to people without showing them the first episodes, which weren't the best.
 
Re: TV, or not TV, that is the question

The TV Guide Channel became the Pop Network. IIRC, they have Schitt's Creek, starring Eugene Levy.
 
Re: TV, or not TV, that is the question

JFC, this is sad:

“Time After Time”: Based on the 1979 movie
“MacGyver”: A redo of the 1980s-90s ABC series
“Training Day”: Based on the 2001 movie
“Frequency”: Based on the 2000 movie
“The Exorcist”: A modern-day reworking of the classic horror film
“Lethal Weapon”: TV version of the movie
“Emerald City”: A retelling of the “Wizard of Oz”
“Taken”: A prequel to the Liam Neeson movie


And then there's this:
“Bull”: Based on the life of Dr. Phil McGraw
:rolleyes:

A MacGyver re-make? JFC, nothing is sacred anymore.
 
Re: TV, or not TV, that is the question

Saw the 2:40 trailer for Exorcist. It looks...meh. Geena Davis and Alan Ruck (Cameron!) play the parents. It seems like it is more like Amityville Horror than the Exorcist. The house is possessed, not the daughter. Huh? I don't see how they are going to turn this into a full TV series.

The problem is that networks are scared of original ideas because the perception is the public is less likely to give it a chance...

It's not just perception, it's reality. Movies based upon original scripts haven't performed nearly as well as the box office as those based upon established characters. Society, as a whole, is more comfortable with that which we're already familiar.
