August 9th's Weekly TV Thoughts

American Ninja Warrior – Finding out that it isn’t a one lose and done thing makes me feel slightly better about the racing.  Still, I’m not happy about it.  People like James are out.  And Sean.  It’s going to be all teen men or early twenties very quickly.  That’s not what I watch this show to see.  And I wish they wouldn’t jump around the groups.  Makes it hard to remember how everyone is doing.

The Librarians: The Next Chapter – That was a fun finale.  I knew something would happen to extend their six months, so that part wasn’t a surprise, but it was surprisingly touching.  And it would have worked as a series finale if they’d left out that last few seconds.  I’m curious to see where they are going to go with it next.

The Snake – I wonder if Kethryn really doesn’t see why she was on the bottom.  Or did she know she had played a stupid game.  Almost sounded like it there at the end, but I’m not completely sure.  Not sure John did himself any favors.  I’ll be interested to see how that plays out next week.

The Challenge – So, I’m over here rooting against the UK alliance.  I wasn’t happy about the results of the elimination as a result.  But it did look like fun.  Tiring, but fun.  I’m not sure I would have figured out the puzzle on the first challenge.  And, I’ve got to say, my opinion of Dee is dropping.  Not because she had a casual relationship with someone (not that I condone it), but her attitude toward his overreaction.  I’m ready for that drama to leave some how some way.

Match Game – Usually, I can see why the judges give the questionable matches they do.  But they sure were generous there in the first round.  I think 3 or 4 matches were all she really got.  Yes, the show has always been dirty, but it seems extra dirty these days.  I may tune it out.

Press Your Luck – What a redemption.  I was worried Whammie would wind up winning again, so I was happy with the outcome.
