lolololol at the thought that this show called Bosch about a character named Bosch might have a spinoff starring the same lead actor, still in his role as the main character named Bosch, and that the spinoff

and that I'm supposed to think of those as two different shows.

How about Honey Money ? :ROFLMAO: I'm interested to see how his daughters character evolves and of course if he keeps his house in the hills and vintage audio system. Would of been cool if he married the judge.

Umm, RIP MTV?

One of the last music shows MTV still had, the VMA's, is no longer even on MTV. This year the MTV VMA's will air on The CW.

I think it’s a cross platform type “Event”. It’ll will be on MTV, VH1, CMT, Nickelodeon, BET & (though not Live on the west coast like the others) The CW.

My Bears will be getting their ass handed to them by the Rams during the VMAs so I am gonna miss out. At 39 I am officially out of the VMA’s coveted 18 to 38 demo anyhow.

I am kinda curious though do kids even care about the VMAs? Like is it appointment viewing for your average Jr High/High School age kids?

I am aware of the existence of most of the artists featured in the 2021 VMAs but I am ignorant to the vast majority’s musical output. Do kids really enjoy Doja Cat or Machine Gun Kelly or Sean Mendes? Honoring the Foo Fighters seems like a weird choice too. It would be like the 1998 VMA‘s giving an award to Journey.

OMG, my Samsung TV has an issue.
I haven't even returned the effing Hisense yet.
The HDMI port keeps losing connectivity and bringing up an error screen that says the device (cable box) has no power. (it does) This just happened while I was watching the football game. Also, it's the fourth time it's happened in five days.
So. I should probably just not watch TV. Ever.

Field Destroy!

Yeah that sucks. Say what you will about an shitty standard def tube TV's but ya never had to worry about internet connectivity or HDMI ports. Hopefully you can get it replaced before Sunday.

Try a new cable?

Yeah, I'm going to troubleshoot more this weekend when I have time. Hopefully a new cable takes care of it. I do have a lifelong reputation for electronics crapping out on me. Some call me Voltran

Unrelated to TVs but definitely related to my weird 'field' - at work my check didn't have federal taxes taken out this week. HR was completely stumped - the software glitched on my check, nobody else, and they said this has never happened before. We're talking years and years of paychecks, then for no known reason - zap - a software glitch just for me.

I had a Samsung for years that had bad HDMI ports. The input signal would get disrupted and cause the screen to black out for a second here and there. Over time it got worse and worse until it was just unwatchable. Pain in the ass.

I guess I'm not surprised to read this. ^

I have read so many reviews for both Hisense and Samsung before purchasing. Most high to low ratios were about 10 to 1 or better for both brands. And yet, I always read the one star reviews, I guess to see what I'm in store for.

god I love this movie
 
I've been watching the New Zealand version of Taskmaster and enjoying it a lot. It definitely isn't as good considering both Greg Davies and Alex Horne are not on it, but aside from that it keeps the goofy spirit of the British original in tact. I just love the original Taskmaster so much (a new season is coming in a few weeks!) - so I'm glad there are two seasons of this NZ version to keep me busy for a bit. Although I've watched half the first season in one day...

Just started Season 10 and was saving the NZ version for when I finish off Season 11.

I think I was more surprised to see how closely tied it appears to be to Christmas. And NYC tourism. And Renner as the straight man in a...buddy comedy about a young woman moonlighting as the alter ego he previously used when he was ruthlessly murdering criminals? There's either some misdirection happening with this trailer or they're injecting a lot of levity into the character.

Renner played Hawkeye (before the snap) with a lot of levity. Kate Bishop did kind of force her way into the world of crime fighters by just putting on a suit and doing it after being attacked in Central Park. Feels all on brand to me. The Christmas thing is probably just the studio trying to draw in that crowd (people like my mom who will watch pretty much anything Christmas themed).

I can't recommend Matt Fraction's run on the character from the early 2010s enough; it's very charming and I think they're copping a lot from it.
