beware of Harlan Crow

Someone needs to invite me to a formal event. Nothing since before COVID. I'm running out of space to put things that I want to wear.
I'm focusing on first world problems because all the other problems, personal or worldly seem unsolvable at the moment. It doesn't mean that they are. Distraction can be nice.

| Neagley |
Surrounded by losers, misfits and boozers! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, September 16!
Our Top Pick tonight is the premiere of Neagley (Amazon Prime Video, 3 a.m.). This Reacher spinoff follows Neagley (Maria Sten) as she finds out why a childhood friend is dead. It turns out to be a tangled web where hunters can become the hunted. Or something.
Elsewhere, Golden Axe is resurrected as a comedy, we're goin' down to South Park, the Slow Horses are on a new mission, Reacher finally reaches, PBS grabs some Ice, Route 187 has questions, a Chef becomes a Master, women can Dance, and Ian Ziering holds a Road Rally.
Here are today's contestants:
- Wesley Jalipa, a legal assistant originally from Columbia, Missouri;
- Abby Mullen, a professor originally from Greenville, South Carolina; and
- Matthew Riggle, a community college math instructor from Madison, Alabama. Matthew is a three-day champ with winnings of $72,401.
Tonight's Top Pick is the first part of Dancing with the Stars' thirty-fifth season premiere. I'd snark, but I do watch the show every week, and am already starting to figure out who I'll vote for each week.

WELCOME to the live thread for the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards! This is your space to sound-off during the annual Emmys ceremony as well as the red carpet arrival, if you arrive early and have thoughts on the fashion. Together we will get through another overly-long Hollywood award ceremony. Winners will be announced in the comment stream (gifs included) and will also be intermittently added to The Winner's Guide section below. So let's get to it!
Here are today's contestants:
- Bryan Lee, a climate financial strategist originally from Falls Church, Virginia;
- Emily Mayo, a Broadway ads project manager from Brooklyn, New York;
- Matthew Riggle, a community college math instructor from Madison, Alabama. Matthew is a two-day champ with winnings of $64,400.
Tonight's Top Pick is the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards, airing at 8 p.m. on NBC. I just cannot with that promo art. Why exactly is Mariska not looking at the camera? And will this be the last time she'll ever hold an Emmy?

Still being judged. I think this will go on as long as Trump and cronies make decisions in my name. I don't know if I will ever rub out that stain.

This was where we as a nation, as well as much of the rest of the world, were this day 25 years ago. My building lies along flight paths leading to and from Mitchell International Airport. I had gotten to the point I no longer noticed the planes so their absence was Twilight Zone. No word from anyone in New York City. I didn't know anyone in DC yet. Now a nephew does computer work for Defense and might have been at the Pentagon.

| The Terrors of Jordan Mendoza |
Chessy, I changed a lot over the summer, that's all! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, September 13!
Our Top Pick tonight is the premiere of The Terrors of Jordan Mendoza (Adult Swim, midnight / HBO Max, Monday). This horror comedy anthology(?) created, written, directed, and stars comedian Jordan Mendoza (not Jason). It is an oddball that is most at home on Adult Swim. The guest star list includes Steve Buscemi, Marc Maron, Thomas Lennon, Wanda Sykes, Lake Bell, Martha Kelly, Randall Park, Milana Vayntrub, Chris Parnell, and many more.
Elsewhere, Jeff Goldblum was Live from London, Joel Kinnaman will Hunt for Saddam, Jordan Mendoza has Terrors, American Dad doesn't die, Sydney Carton has a Tale, the Dead are a community, Food Network goes back to Wars, and CBS recalls the best of the VMAs.
Welcome to the Weekend in Pop Culture! Let's examine what's coming out in theaters this weekend.
The Fix
One thing leads to another.
Practical Magic 2
The Owens sisters (and also their daughters) fight to see if the curse that kills their lovers can be lifted.
Runner
An organ donation is made to be supposedly more exciting than it usually is.
The Uprising
The Peasants' Revolt of 1381 in England is dramatized. Robin Hood may or may not be involved.

| Big Ten Saturday Night |
Another cow! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, September 12!
Our Top Pick tonight is Big Ten Saturday Night (NBC, 7:30 p.m.). It's Iowa's superb owl with the Cyclones traveling to take on the Hawkeyes. Like every football game, I hope no team wins.
Elsewhere, Brandi Carlile is honored to the Limits, the Creatives are awarded, Huntsville has an institute you can't disparage, Prime finds Love, 9/11 survivor Genelle Guzman gets Lifetime movie treatment, and Jon Lovett has News.
