TV- Letterkenny

You're having a beer with your pals the other daaaaaay....The finale for Letterkenny was this past May (at least for us Hulu viewers, maybe it was available earlier in Canada), so I thought I'd write a couple thoughts on the series. Letterkenny takes place in a rural Ontario community, which took its name from Letterkenny in Ireland and is populated mostly by the descendants of Irish immigrants

TV - Echo 3

Another bit of a whackadoo series that I binged in June. This one is on AppleTV+, and it's questionable whether it's worth the watch 🙄 (spoilers).In this series, Amber Chesborough is an American scientist in Colombia researching psychedelics to treat addiction. When she is kidnapped by militants, her brother, Bambi, and her husband, Prince, both US Army Delta Force operators (in the same unit),

TV - Beacon 23

Here's another series I binged back in May-June. Another series I wanted to like, but...m'eh. Also a series that I only stuck around to the end of season 2 because of Lena Headey being headlined 😂The gist of the story is that there are space-based lighthouses (called Beacons) and just like their terrestrial counterparts, they serve as navigational beacons helping spacefarers navigate the hazards

TV - Walker

Here's one from back in June.  The season and series finale was 6/27 and this show was cancelled after 4 seasons. All I can say about that is GOOD (insert grumpy cat meme somewhere here 😹). I guess this wasn't your daddy's Walker, Texas Ranger 😹. In looking up this series, I am surprised that I never caught the original Walker, Texas Ranger on TV because I used to watch a fair amount of

TV - Jean Clause Van Johnson

Here's one from May. I started this short series in January, but I really didn't get back to it until May.  I was bummed to learn that this came out a few years ago and I missed it, because it means that it most likely will not get a sequel.I don't know why JCVD dropped off the face of the planet in the 90s, but this mini series was a fun way to poke fun at all the tropes of action movies of that

TV - Station Eleven

 It's summer, so I guess it's time to catch up on writing all those blog posts in my drafts folder from the first part of the year (before the new school year starts and I have little time 😂).  This past february (according to my drafts folder), I wathced Station Eleven on HBO. When I started watching this, I knew that it was set in a post-pandemic world, but I sort of thought that

TV - Special Operations: Lioness

 Here's another TV show from back in January that's been sitting in my drafts for a few months now.  This one is "Special Ops: Lioness" which "airs" on Paramount+ (at least in the US). Force Recon Marine Cruz Manuelos (Laysla de Oliveira) is recruited into the CIA's Lioness program and tasked with befriending the daughter of a terrorist financier. Apparently, the series is based on a

TV - Rabbit Hole

 I can't believe it's been this long since I last blogged about anything! It's been a busy semester 😬.  Well, let's kick off some warm-weather blogging with something that's been in my drafts since January! When we were returning from our trip to Greece this past January, I started watching "Rabbit Hole" on the return flight.  I caught the first episode and parts of the second before

TVTime Year-in-Review

 Alllllright!  I guess there was one more Year In Review for 2023! This one came in while I was on vacation overseas. It seemed interesting enough to post about.  I think March was my busiest month because I probably marked a whole bunch of past seasons of shows as "viewed" and the platform took that to mean that I watched them in 2023.  I wish there was a "watched when originally

TV - Time Trax

 Time TraxAlright! Here's a show that I started to watch a few years back during the COVID lockdowns, which I put to the side due to the camp-factor, and now I decided to slog through in 2023 and watch it.  The show? Time Trax! This show has two seasons (44 episodes) and it was originally on the Prime Time Entertainment Network in 1993-1994.  This was supposedly an affiliate of TV38
