Hey All--I'm slowly losing my mind due to bug infestation over here.Got the exterminator coming on Saturday but not soon enough honestly!!! I feel like Sam Jackson in Snakes On A Plane over here, except with creepy crawlies...Anyways here's what's on tonight November 12th 2019
Streaming:
Sooo The Big Huge News Today is that Disney Plus Officially Launches as a stand alone subscription service. There's four new shows being launched alongside it with the Star Wars based program The Mandalorian (starring Pedro Pascal); the already premiered on broadcast to very low ratings "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series" (Ugh), a new Jeff Goldblume starring program called simply "The World According To Jeff Goldblume"and something called "Encore" (which from what i can gather is a series about people in various drama clubs reuniting after many years away from said drama club--this was based on a couple of specials that aired on ABC that were hosted by Kristen Bell that for some reason is now a series???)
Also being launched alongside the Disney service is a new live action (so CGI talking animals) version of Lady and the Tramp. (What did Disney not think Lady and the Tramp had enough brand name recognition to release in theaters nationwide or something?!?!?!?)
I don't know how this is gonna go, Disney has a lot of existing content on the thing (including The Simpsons!!!) sooo clearly this could be a huge thing for them. Time Will Tell.

(The episode is literally titled "Boom Boom Boom Boom" which is how the show's theme song goes!

New Amsterdam (NBC): Sharpe lands in hot water when she goes out on a limb for a patient; Max's grief comes to a head; Bloom takes a major step in her recovery. (Isn't this the show where every week someone goes out on a limb for a patient tho??? Ohh New Amsterdam---I declare, you've become much too much)
Dolly Parton--Here She Comes Again (ABC): A look at the life and career of the legend featuring never before seen archival interviews and performance footage. (Nice--also this is pre-empting Emergence for a week, but it was on last week when everything else was pre-empted so its only fair I guess)
Frontline (PBS): "Kids Caught In A Crackdown"---An investigation into the widespread consequences and business of mass confinement of migrant children detained under President Trump's immigration policies. (PBS? PBS? PBS?--you know weirdly NCIS New Orleans did an episode a couple weeks back where they found some private companies being farmed out the detainment of migrants children and illegal aliens, and i know it was fictionalized for CBS audiences, but it did leave me wondering how much of that kinda crap is actually happening since we all know the government likes to farm these things out to private contractors)

Ed Lover makes a discovery in an abandoned house that he now owns for some reason; and Tori Spelling has a lifesaving encounter from the great beyond. (I freaking love the idea of combining the C list celebs competition format with the paranormal reality show format--really creating some interesting results here that i'm sure couldn't at all be made up a la Mad Libs!)
Running Wild with Bear Grylls (Nat Geo): Joel McHale in Arizona Slot Canyons. (Joel McHale accompanies Bear on a survival trip in the Arizona desert for some reason)
Hogan's Heroes (MeTV): Burkhalter's sister Gertrude becomes the commandant of Stalag 13, and Hogan poses as a Nazi officer in the 10:30 episode.
