March 15th's Weekly TV Thoughts

Tracker – This show had better turn things around fast.  That was way too disturbing to be enjoyable.  And the long talking scenes?  I fast forwarded through them, which means I got through things rather quickly.  Much faster than I had envisioned I would.  It was fun to see Beverly Elliott, however.

Suits LA – I’m still struggling to keep all the supporting characters straight.  They really should have started with a small core cast of characters like they did in the original and slowly brought everyone else in.  But I’m beginning to get pulled into the storylines.  I feel like we have a bit of a different soap opera going on, at least at the moment.  Still not completely sold on it, but it’s getting better.

Rescue: HI Surf – I was proud of Em standing up to her mom.  What a piece of work.  I’m sorry they couldn’t work things out.  And glad Sonny has worked things out with his daughter.  Not sure where some of the other storylines are going.

Night Court – That was a decent reason for a musical.  I was worried about that when I heard they were doing a musical episode.  And there were some fun parts to it.  Overall, an above average episode.

Deal or No Deal Island – David was in a horrible position.  I’m not sure I’d want to be in his position.  But I don’t think he made the right one there at the end.  I’m very curious to see who he picks to play next week.  At this point, I’m guessing we’ve got two episodes left this season?

Shifting Gears – Not a fan of this one overall.  The gummy theme just didn’t work for me.  However, I’ve got to admit, there were some pretty funny moments in this one.  And loved the reference to Home Improvement there at the end.

Wild Cards – Not their best episode.  I did love the character stuff when they were drugged, and I like the fact that they aren’t going to just pretend it never happened.  But overall?  It was just okay.  They didn’t really lean into the supernatural stuff (for better or worse).  Just didn’t quite do it for me.

The Challenge – Okay, I’ll confess, I gave up trying to follow all the twists and turns of who was doing what to whom.  Frankly, neither challenge was that exciting for me.  Or maybe it was that I was so distracted while I was watching the episode.

Survivor – Oh man!  We were so close to getting rid of Sai.  Her arrogance is really, really bugging me.  Hopefully, the tribe swap next week really shakes things up and causing issues for her.  Glad Mary pulled it out.  Her mind games were great.

The Amazing Race – I felt so sorry for that one team at the Intersection.  Watching at team struggle is always hard.  Coming first and leaving last is hard.  But especially to have your fate bound to another team is just rough.  At least it didn’t cost the one team the race.  I’m sure they will bounce back from it.

Happy’s Place – Maybe not the funniest episode of the season, but I really loved that final scene.  Really powerful.  Still some laughs, but I always like it when a sitcom goes serious like that without coming across as preachy.
