So it's fall. Shall we talk about how far we've fallen? It seems that we've done nothing but that. At the moment the press is shocked, shocked I say, that the leopards are eating their faces. There is plenty of blame to go round but the press must bear the bulk of the weight for where we are now. If they had treated Trump remotely like they treated Biden then Trump would have been politically weak. If, when covering Biden falling off his bike, they pointed out that Trump has likely never attempted to mount a bike and there isn't a bike that could carry him, then maybe they would not have hounded Biden out of office. Looking back it seems clear to me that Biden intended to resign when needed and install Harris as our first female President. But the press wanted Trump. So we got Trump. Suddenly the press does not like leopards.

Our Top Pick tonight is The Ark (Syfy, 10 p.m.). This Syfy series is in its 3rd season, having evolved from a large spacecraft (the Ark) where most senior staff die in a post-Earth mission to survive. Soon there was Ark 2 and nowadays, there's a home base and planet and not-so-good creatures. I watched most of the first season but can't recall much of it.
Elsewhere, Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are Brothers, Survivor returns for round 51, Lili Reinhart has a Hypothesis, Fox goes to the Floor, someone in America is deemed as Got Talent, the Slow Horses are on high alert, Ted Lasso faces the Wall of Legends, and everyone wants a Golden Ticket.

One of the reasons that the wedding last Saturday was one of the happiest that I've been to? This was their first dance. It was a production but a loose one and they relied on each other to get through it. I laughed and cried all the way through. I wasn't the only one.

This Cancellation League semi-favorite stars Peter Krause and Hope Davis as the parents of a family with ties to the FBI, U.S. Marshals, Secret Service, and Department of Justice. One of them will turn out to be a mole, I'm sure.

You would think that the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department would find it easier to comply with the court order banning racial profiling and requiring monitoring of the department's behavior until they can show three consecutive years of good behavior. You would be wrong. This dates back to a lawsuit against then-Sheriff Joe Arpaio in 2007. Current Sheriff Jerry Sheridan was Arpaio's Deputy Sheriff and has long been deeply connected to the racial profiling. It's no surprise that Trump's justice Department wants to end the monitoring and leave the county's million and a half Latinos at the mercy of the unrepentant Sheriff's Department and the militarized ICE.

Politics Corner refuses to hear bad news. I'm at a very happy wedding. So happy that I was willing to dance to Eric Clapton with my partner. "Wonderful Tonight" but still fucking Clapton. It didn't hurt at all.

Atta boy, Luther! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, September 19!
