We're getting closer to a complete catchup. I am having some fun trying to fit in as many curated capsule commentaries as I can in a 90-minute span.

What's On Tonight (Thursday): What's the deal with female comedians?
Courtesy The Hollywood Reporter.
Tonight's Top Pick is the series finale of Hacks, premiering at 9 p.m. on HBO Max. Happy trails, Hannah Einbinder and Jean Smart. Good luck at the Emmys. At the risk of jinxing Jean, it would be pretty cool if she scored her fifth near-consecutive lead actress win for a five-season series that broadcast over six years. Off the top of my head, the closest would be Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, with six straight wins for Veep, which had seven seasons broadcast over eight years.

We just happened to go through the reservation on our way out of town Saturday, and YES!!!!!
I am now following the tribe page for these updates, but usually you just have to be lucky and be there when they set up. A holiday weekend is a good bet though, as people head out to the lake.
There's a place in Spokane called Indigenous Eats, and I loved the idea of being able to get an Indian taco whenever I want, but....this was better.

What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Pride and prejudice and Mary
 |
| The Other Bennet Sister |
Veni, vidi, vici! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, May 27!
Our Top Pick tonight is The Other Bennet Sister (BritBox, 3 a.m.). This Jane Austen-verse spinoff (adapted from a novel) spends the first 2 episodes recounting events from Austen's Pride and Prejudice from the POV of overlooked Bennet sister Mary (Ella Bruccoleri). The series then ventures off with the adventures of Mary Bennet in London. Richard E. Grant plays father Bennet! I'm not beyond the first 2 episodes, but I really enjoy it.
Elsewhere, the Roman Empire Rises, a jade artifact has Secrets, the final Testament is given, and O gets Ariana DeBose.

I'm wring this early because I will be on a plane when this posts. Please let me know what Bone Spurs and Kegseth have done to horrify and humiliate us this time. At least we don't have his lurid Arch of "Triumh" lurching over Arlington. Any partipants at attempts at honoring our war casualties on the National Mall will be appalled at the view of the empty, partially painted Reflecting Pond whether from the Jefferson, Lincoln, Korean, WWII or Vietnam Memorials.
To you and yours who serve or have served, remember this too shall pass.

Tonight's Top Pick is Farmer Wants a Wife, which is three-fourths of the way through its fourth season on FOX. I just couldn't justify giving the spot to the Summer House reunion.

What's On Tonight (Monday): Spider-Noir, Spider-Noir, does whatever a burnt out p.i. does ...
Courtesy The Hollywood Reporter.
Tonight's Top Pick is the series premiere of Spider-Noir, starting at 2:30 p.m. on MGM+. It's Nicolas Cage's latest vehicle, marking the live action debut of a nearly 20-year-old spinoff character. Well, when I put it like this, how can you not tune in ...?

Memorial Day Eve! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, May 24!
Our Top Pick tonight is the second season of Bad Thoughts (Netflix, 3 a.m.). Just in time for Emmy consideration is the return of this short form comedy that has a vignette/anthology structure like I Think You Should Leave and A Black Lady Sketch Show but the subject matter can be considerably darker.

Elsewhere, Marshals are marshaling, Tracker is tracking, Roku gets Enhanced, The Audacity concludes, A&E has Rivals, and Rick and Morty are back.

I'm somewhere in the Houston suburbs and heading to another. I don't know anything that's happening other than graduation and too much family to keep track of.
