February 15th's Weekly TV Thoughts

One week back, and Wild Cards was already preempted for basketball.  Any wonder why I hate sports?  I'll catch up this weekend.

But here's what I did watch.

Poppa’s House – I’m interested to see if they follow up on this and we see Jr.’s directing/film making career take off.  I mean, they did reference last week’s episode at the start of this one.  I loved the scene where we got to see the video and then go to know a bit more about Poppa.

Rescue: HI Surf – I know it’s realistic, but it always gets me when someone dies.  I hope the one guy’s father is starting to come around.  I found the flip over the social media influencer fun if not predictable.  Glad there are consequences for endangering others.  And if she was just pulling their legs (might have been distracted during that scene so I couldn’t quite tell if she was bluffing or not), there should be laws like that.  There’s no excuse for that ever.

Night Court – There were some good gags, especially with the circus/clowns.  But overall, it was another case of them just trying too hard.  I wish they’d back off a bit.

Deal or No Deal Island – I was wondering what was going to happen when I saw we were getting close to being out of time.  Not happy that we have to wait until next week to see how things play out.  All this drama is not entertaining.  Scheming?  Yes.  People accusing each other of things?  Not so much.  Did like Parvarti’s move on Dr. Will.  Of course, they knew what the other was up to.  As much as I don’t like him and only grudgingly respect her, it is entertaining to see them go at each other.

Shifting Gears – I was waiting for them to make some crack that referenced the guest star’s past with Tim Allen.  (I really should give that show another chance, I guess).  Overall, a very sweet episode, especially for Valentine’s Day.  Never forgot it was a sitcom, but tackled a touch holiday/time with the respect it deserves.

The Challenge – I’m feeling for the guy who is sick.  Glad he stuck around, but if he doesn’t get better, is it going to matter?  And I’m going to be frustrated if the same people are always in the eliminations.  There really should be a rule about how often a team can be voted it.  Like two times and they have to get a week off.  But I know that ain’t gonna happen.

Happy’s Place – I was thinking to myself that only it a sitcom would someone believe these wild stories.  Turns out, even in a sitcom, they aren’t believed.  That was another fun episode, even when I am ahead of the plot.

  1. You have a good amount of movies to watch! I'm a drama fan myself, especially Kdrama. Some are better than others, of course. Have a good week.
