What's On Tonight (Saturday): Rebuilding bridges in Madison country

The Madison

My friends are in love with American girls! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, March 14!

Our Top Pick tonight is the series premiere of The Madison (Paramount+, 3 a.m.). Because no one wants to stop Taylor Sheridan, this new series follows the Clayburn family as they relocate from New York City to rural Montana after a tragedy. Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell star along with Patrick J. Adams, Elle Chapman, and Matthew Fox, among others. If you've seen a Sheridan show, you know where things are going. He doesn't have great range.

Elsewhere, Harry Styles is Live from New York, college basketball finds champions, Moshe Kasher has News, there's a new Rooster Fighter in town, Nelly has new Mysteries, and One Piece must handle the truth.

Look, stars have platforms, they live sheltered lives, but they are still citizens. Love or hate, they still have a right, like any other idiot on the internet - or member of KISS.

La Oficina

Today's Top Pick is the series premiere of La Oficina, which is the latest iteration of The Office with this one coming from Mexico.  I didn't see a trailer with translated subtitles, but I still chuckled at it.  I think that's a good sign.  You can catch it on Amazon.

Elsewhere we the streaming premiere of Not Without Hope starring Zachary Levi and Josh Duhamel.  It's about four dumb asses who don't check the weather report before going out to fish.  Their boat gets turned over by a giant wave and then a bunch of people have to risk their lives to save these dumbasses. To add insult to injury Levi plays one of the people they have to save.  If you want to see a movie about a someone struggling to survive their boat sinking that also has "hope" in the title, go watch All Hope is Lost.  It's probably less "inspirational" than NWH but you get Redford which is a big step up from Levi.

And just a heads up, Netflix's Dynasty: The Murdochs is not a spin off of the 80's soap opera.  Oh Lord, how I wish it was.

⭐🔔 La Oficina (Amazon, 3:01 AM) SERIES PREMIERE. 'The Mexican adaptation of the original BBC Studios format, The Office. Revolves around the regional office of Jabones Olimpo, located in Aguascalientes, where the employees will have to endure the headaches of working in a family company with Jerónimo Ponce III as their boss, the legitimate heir and regional manager of the soap empire, who is not qualified to run the company.'

So this is Heaven. I can't imagine spending much time here. Let angels flight wing you to heaven. Well that could be kind of like ziplining and if my angel is Brian Blessed I'll enjoy the ride. But an eternity spent praising God? What kind of spoiled child is God? And then why praise God? And I'll reunite with everyone in my life? Oh no. There are thousands of ghosts in my closet that I would prefer to leave there.

It is very much about cilantro, and culantro, so if you're not a fan....

David Byrne and Talking Heads mistook Purgatory for Heaven. I guess that's easy to do if you're bored. I can't think of many or any politicians that would wind up here now. And there's a strong division between who belongs in the Inferno and who Paradisio but  no one is arguing for Purgatorio.

Tonight's Top Pick is Fukushima: A Nuclear Nightmare, premiering at 9 p.m. on HBO. While the late Wes Craven was not involved -- it's a documentary -- it certainly sounds as harrowing as one of his projects.
