TV Episodes You Have Just Watched

I've been watching All Creatures Great And Small on PBS Passport. Very wholesome but still a bit stressful at times.

My wife and I use to watch the 1978 All Creatures Great and Small on PBS back in the 1980s. It was very enjoyable. I've wondered what the new version was like.

A few days ago, I mention somewhere on Wrong Planet, or maybe it was in a text to a couple friends that really did not care, how I liked Mary-Louise Parker's eyes. So I started watching Weeds on Hulu. I watched it a long time ago on DVDs from Netflix. Started yesterday (July 12, 2024) and today I found out it is leaving on Friday, so I'm binging as many episodes as I can. I want to get through if quickly because I want to finish Judge vs Judge.

I'm on season 3, episode 8.

I was amused in season one, because there is a comment about all Mary-Louise Parker's character had to do was bat her big brown eyes, and men would do whatever she asked.

I like the humor of the show.

And why did I watch the DVDs way back when? Mary-Louise Parker's eyes, of course. I wonder if she has her eyes insured?
I first saw her in Green Fried Tomatoes, and thought Ruth has such dark eyes.

The third and fourth episodes of Shogun. All I will say is that currently my thoughts are in the voice of John Blackthorne. It's a gruff, piratey sounding voice.

The Bear season 3 finale.

I hate it when a great show goes bad (Westworld?) and this season was bad. There were two good episodes. The finale sucked. I hope it can pull itself out of its own ass for season 4.

Judge vs Judge (2017)

episodes 25, 26, 27

Let's review...


C and F are married. A is their son. C was the judge that sentenced D's brother to prison for rape and murder. B's father was in love with C a long time ago, as was F. A and B both deeply care for D. E is Jin Se Ra, and ex-k-pop singer who his is a "junior" judge (not sure that is the proper term). She was the person whose career was marred by the Design Lady with the fake designer purse (not pictured).
Previously, I asked the question who is the Evil Person in the photo. The answer was F. He sure seemed evil, but like Jessica Rabbit, he was just written that way, because a few episodes ago he suddenly became very sympathetic. Now, in episode 26 and 27, there is a twist, and we find out who the real killer was. The rapist and the killer are not the same person. Plus, the killer had the pedophile kill D's brother, just as her brother was about to get a retrial. Park Eun-bin is really good at being cheerful one minute, and then being crushed and sheading tears the next. She's also written that way, but Park Eun-bin can deliver it.
Also, the raped and murdered person's name is Ga-young. She should be remembered. (moment of silence)




Also, watched Weeds today. People doing stupid things that impact everyone else, but they all care for each other, even though some care more for themselves. I'm up to season 4. Mary-Louise Parker's character will sleep with anyone to get her way. That's not the character's fault though. Like 'F' in Judge vs Judge, she's just written that way.

(I have not proof read this. It will likely be full of grammatical and spelling errors.)

We watched some Shark Week stuff.
Something about the moon affecting shark migration.

Just finished episodes 31 and 32 of Judge vs Judge. That means I've finished Judge vs Judge. I enjoyed it.
The main story, "who raped and killed Kim Ga-young?" was settled in episode 28. The killer went to prison. The rapist went to prison. From that point on, it was story cleanup. By episode 30, it is about what happens between person B and person D (Park Eun-bin). (I'm skipping over stuff.) Episode 31, persons B and D knows how the other one feels. However, B is transferred out of Seoul to a smaller town. D remains in Seoul. Person A leaves Seoul earlier (episode 30?) for a soul searching journey. He had spent a lot of time passed out drunk on the family couch because his dad was and Evil S.O.B.

I enjoyed the series. I watched it on KOCOWA+ streaming.

Afterthoughts -

If person D (Park Eun-bin) were Nancy "The Black Widow" Price Botwin-Scottson-Reyes-Bloom¹ (Weeds), she would have slept with person A, B, F, B's father, possibly E, a few of the defendants, and ended up leading a corrupt Seoul judicial system.

It was while watching episode 31, I thought "What if Linda Belcher (Bob's Burger) were watching and commenting throughout this show?" Suddenly it became a comedy.

For Weeds, I've decided I'm skipping from season 4 to the last season because I am just curious how it ends. Although, I don't remember the "Bloom" character. I know there is a lot of fun entertainment I'm missing. That's okay. I've seen it before.

At the moment, my favorite Baywatch episode is Princess of Tides. It feels like a TV movie with the plot of a foreign princess who wants to have fun for once, so she goes to the beach and gets into a romance with Mitch. Laura Harring is great in the role and its sweet how much Mitch's son, Hobie, wants her for a stepmom.

I have been watching the latest season of Total Drama Island on Max. However, they are not putting up an entire season all once. Rather they put up a new episode each week. I just saw episode 7 when the contestants were asked to steal eggs from a giant bird.

Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan Ep.2

Weeds

I'd watch through season 6, episode 8, and then jumped to season 8, episode 1, and then jumped to the last three (11, 12, 13). I had written "little" summaries about each of the last three episodes, but I've decide to just leave it at "I finished the show."

Time to move on.

Star Wars: The Acolyte (season finale).

No Angels

It's a British drama/comedy series about 4 nurses who share a house in Leeds

It's very funny imo

Ladykillers: Miss Madeleine Smith


An episode from a series first transmitted in 1980. This is about a 21 year old Glaswegian woman who was tried (and acquitted) for poisoning her lover with arsenic in 1857. I've never understood all the hoo-ha associated with this case, and it doesn't help that the teleplay is based entirely on the courtroom proceedings, but it would appear that the fascination lay in the fact that Madeleine Smith was a 'socialite' and therefore worthy of infinitely more attention than your ordinary mortal.

Madeleine Smith lived into her nineties and died in the USA in 1928, it seems.

The Jinx Part 2.

Binging the documentary series in which wealthy real estate magnate, Robert Durst, proves to be his own worst enemy after he is caught on a hot mic during the original series admitting to having murdered his wife (he had somehow escaped justice after having killing and dismembering his neighbor in Texas!). His escape to Cuba was foiled, and he was finally convicted of murder for his friend, who he had apparently killed for fear she would rat him out.
Very intriguing.
