What's On Tonight (Saturday): Super working girl

My Adventures with Superman

Nobody puts the CW in the corner! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, June 27!

Our Top Pick tonight is My Adventures with Superman (Adult Swim, midnight / HBO Max, Sunday). If you can't get to the big screen version of Supergirl, Kara Zor-El is part of the ensemble in this better-than-it-should-be youthful anime-influenced version of Superman and Metropolis. She was introduced last season as a minion of Brainiac, and now she's partnered with cousin Clark to protect Metropolis.

Elsewhere, the Song strikes a final chord, Craig Ferguson determines patriots, Hallmark claims a Castle, One Piece is challenged, and Spring is about survival.

I can't think about politics because I have been invaded. The entire House of Michael Calloway surrounds me. We're hosting a trunk show tomorrow before he takes his collection to NYC. Shock and awe. I've pulled two coats aside for me. Another piece for my partner who is still browsing. What hasn't already sold will go and nothing will come back

What's On Tonight (Friday): Larry David has a Message for the Founding Fathers

Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness

Today's Top Pick is the premiere of the Larry David/Obama collaboration Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness, though I am dubious about how much input the Obamas had on this.  Essentially this is Drunk History with a bigger budget, no drunk narrators and Larry David is in all the sketches.  Some of the reviews say it's a bit hit and miss, but the trailer cracked me up many times.  

⭐🔔 Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness (HBO, 9:00 PM) SERIES PREMIERE. 'President and Mrs. Obama wanted to honor America's 250th anniversary and celebrate the unique history of our nation on this special occasion. ...But then Larry David called.' ✔️

Feed Me: Pralines

 Back in the early 1600's, a French chef toasted almonds in caramelized sugar.

When the treat was being recreated here, in New Orleans, the scarce almond was eventually replaced with pecans, giving rise to the distinctly American-style praline.

What's On Tonight (Wednesday): With Pleasure

Play that funky music! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, June 24!

Our Top Pick tonight is Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed (Apple TV, midnight). This comedy thriller finds divorced fact-checker Paula Saunders (Tatiana Maslany in only this role. Boo!) pulled into a deep mystery when her webcam boy is kidnapped. Her life is a mess as she feuds with her successful ex (Jake Johson) over their daughter, too. I've been really enjoying this show. Tatiana can check my facts any day.

Politics Corner is still processing. Little details. I got the big stuff out of the way ages ago. I closed a life insurance account that I've had since 1974. It's not all that much and would'nt really gain too much if I switched fom deceased dad's account to mine. I would get back what I paid in. The only reason to keep it would be the death benefit. My mom opened the policy. She wants me to go back to Japan. I wanted to give her money but she won't take it. I'm going to spend it on bills and my partner will pay me back. I'm not concerned. It's been a while since I cared about money. I'm lucky.
