Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj: We Cannot Stay Silent About George Floyd (2020)
Guilty!
Yes, Hasan Minaj was guilty of spreading a false narrative as well as a conspiracy theory. Hasan only takes a fraction of the blame as he has a microscopic audience in comparison to his media counterparts. Most of the blame goes to the legacy media.
As another reviewer stated, this disastrous show was absolutely one sided. Feeling reign supreme over facts in Hasan's mind. This show has aged unbelievably poorly.
Liz Collin's expose was the final nail in the coffin for this narrative. (As stated before, Hasan was not the only guilty party here).
Compare this episode "We Can't Stary Slient About George Floyd" to "The Fall of Minneapolis" and compare for yourself.
Cosmos: Possible Worlds: The Search for Intelligent Life on Earth (2020)
BeeWare...
Where to start? First of all, this instalment of Cosmos is the weakest in the series. Neil Tyson deGrasse was tolerable in the other series he hosted up to this point but sadly there is a huge decline in the substance and narration in the series in general & in this episode. IMHO Carl Sagan would not care for Neil's assumptions and scientism. Let's face it, Mr. DeGrasse is not in the same league as Carl Sagan. I can watch episodes of the original mini-series over & over again.
The only reason this episode warrants a 3 from your truly, is due to the filming of the episode. As usual that is top notch.
IMHO it's time for Seth Macfarlane & Neil to take a permanent vacation from Cosmos.
The Daily Show: Melissa Murray & Kate Shaw (2024)
A Tool Of The Regime
Tucker hit the nail on the head when he called out Jon Stewart as a "tool of the regime." I had to watch this episode in its entirety. Initially I turned it off after a few minutes. Sadly this show is nothing more than a continuation of his failed series "The Problem With Jon Stewart". IMHO it should have been renamed "The problem IS Jon Stewart'.
Jon clearly suffers from TDS. (Tucker Derangement Syndrome). There were absolutely no laughs in a show that is billed as Comedy-News-Talk Show.
The only time I laughed is when Jon proposed the reason America's subways are so filthy, as Moscow's subway is pretty much spotless, is due to the "freedom" we have in America. Gee Jon but Tokyo has extremely clean subways as well. Last time I checked they were a free country.
Comedy Central really needs to rethink whether this should be part of its programming or put it out of its misery once and for all.
Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent: The Key to the Castle (2024)
No Order?
Wondering where the "order" was in this premiere? Isn't the courtroom supposed to be as engaging as the police/detective activity to begin the show?
Is this the directors fault? Certainly not. In fact. Holly Dale has a pretty good track record of directing some very good shows.
Is it the script? Yes, IMHO the script was 50% of the problem. A dull script we've seen many times. Playing it too safe for my liking.
Is it the company of actors? Yes again. I'm not sure what the producers were going for here. Was it to check as many boxes as they could? Very likely. The skill set of the actors were unimpressive in this premiere.
I'll give it a couple more episodes. Let's see if it gets better.
King & Maxwell: Pandora's Box (2013)
The End......
An excellent episode. Really not a finale in any way as this was not a mini-series. Sad to see it was only a mere 10 episodes. I found every episode entertaining. Well acted & directed.
I guess ratings are the bottom line and the show never found a large enough audience. It's too bad they couldn't have given the show a full season in an attempt to bring more viewer on board.
Actually quite sad as there are detective shows in 2023 that are still on the air and not nearly the quality of King & Maxwell.
I know the review is ten years late but I do think this show was cancelled too hastily. JMHO.
Bob's Burgers: The Unnatural (2013)
"Wonderboy"....well maybe not...
No Roy Hobbs comeback in this one.
Gene was hilarious on the diamond. Definitely no natural. Did anyone expect Gene to excel in sports? Maybe if eating hot dogs in the stands was a sport?
Sadly Linda put her faith in a con artist to help Gene remedy his game. Big mistake and the results, although sad, are hilarious.
I laughed quite a bit throughout this episode. Bob wasn't laughing at this turn of events.
For me this was an excellent finale for a very enjoyable Season 3. No question that this episode won't be for everyone. If you enjoy baseball or sports in general and have kids.......this episode is a hoot.
I have no problem recommending this episode.
