What's On Tonight (Tuesday): I know NCIS wants to, but it's in too deep

 

Courtesy Paramount Press Express.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, WOTers! Tonight's Top Pick is NCIS, airing an episode entitled "In Too Deep." I'll bet good money the Genesis song will figure into the plot somehow.

This is where I begin to have problems. Not for the reasons that you might think but lets not rush things.


Step 2: Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

Ooh, did I ever miss some good stuff before I went away. I knew a war was a-brewing (a hurricane is a-coming Dorothy! a hurricane is not a-coming ma! -- for those of you Golden Girls fans) This was meant to post just as I went away and it's salacious. What more would you want than a trip all of the way up and down Miss Blanche Deveraux's legs? Only the privileged are allowed that.


Now we come to the fun part. This is where we climb up Satan's legs, avoiding colostomy bags, until suddenly we turn around and climb the other way. Why? We have reached the middle of the earth and gravity now impels us to reverse course. This isn't the way that it would work at all and we would burn up before we reached the mantle (scientists or people smarter than me feel free to correct me). Dante and Virgil were headed for Purgatory which was just boring. Meanwhile we've still got Satan. If God is a woman then it only make sense that Satan is too.



What's On Tonight (Sunday): Give me an O!

Academy Awards (5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 years ago)

Keep my wife's name out your fucking mouth! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, March 15!

Our Top Pick tonight is the 98th Academy Awards (ABC & Hulu, 7 p.m.). It's probably the most popular event for this place with a very active live-thread and plenty of discussion/complaining for this overly-long award show. But we need to know what wins for our future Jeopardy! appearances. This year is largely coming down to Sinners vs. One Battle. But maybe it's finally time we get a dark horse winner (or two). [*crosses fingers*]

Elsewhere, Boarders comes to an end, Dad desires reality TV, the Property Brothers are Under PressureDark Winds gets assistance, Family Guy kills a mockingbird, the Marshals marshal, Tracker tracks, a trial Calls the Heart, and Primal concludes its jump forward.

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.


What's On Tonight (Friday): ¡Eso es lo que Ella Dijo en Español!

    

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.'
