Somebody spent a lot of time making this. Sanding alone must have taken weeks. They probably got a C, maybe a D in shop class. Mom or maybe dad insisted on using it in spite of everything and now it could be a salad bowl.
That's where we're at now.

What's On Tonight (Friday): Joel Edgerton and the Multiverse of Madness
 |
| Dark Matter |
Today's Top Pick is the second season premiere of the Apple sci-fi series Dark Matter. The series stars Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly and regards a device that allows people to access all potential realities. The second season is a bit of a surprise for me as the first season was based on a book and both book and show ended in the same place. There's no book to follow now so it will be interesting to see where the writers decide to take it. The last couple seasons of Game of Thrones did the same thing and was universally loved by all.
⭐🔔 Dark Matter (Apple, 12:01 AM) SEASON TWO PREMIERE. 'Picks up with the Dessens as they settle into a quiet life in a world that finally seems safe until the unimaginable forces them to run once again. As Jason’s (Joel Edgerton) obsession with the Box deepens, Daniela’s (Jennifer Connelly) growing paranoia pushes her to the brink, threatening to tear their fragile stability apart. Elsewhere, Amanda and Ryan join forces in a desperate attempt to find their way home. With Blair determined to stop him, Leighton relentlessly chases his grand vision of creating a perfect world.'

Vanities, Thy Producer is Earl
Courtesy Playbill.
Today's Notable Opening Night is Aug. 27, 1931, when the latest round of Earl Carroll's Vanities opened at the now-demolished Earl Carroll Theatre. The show reopened the Carroll, which was actually a new building at the old venue's address. The Carroll lasted for less than a year in Earl's hands before becoming the property of Florenz Ziegfeld, and later Billy Rose, and later than tat, Woolworth's. In 1931, the Vanities marked the Broadway debut of Burton Lane (Finian's Rainbow, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever).

Politics Corner had the rug pulled out from under his right foot yesterday when God took Dolly Parton. It's the sinister side today. Tim Curry is irreplaceable for the same and different reasons.

What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Joe way out
 |
| Average Joe |
Did I do that? Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, July 26!
Our Top Pick tonight is Average Joe (Paramount+, 3 a.m.). There were 3 years in between seasons 1 and 2 of this dark comedy. It also flipped from BET+ to Paramount+.

This series is unrelated to the early '00s reality show and that Amy Acker movie.
