Hello Everybody---Longtime Cinemax staple "Strike Back" the action filled espionage show that's been kicking around since roughly 2011 comes to a conclusion tonight. I know Jay S was a fan! Meanwhile Titus Welliver's bedeviled cop Harry Bosch returns for a 6th season via Amazon Prime. Also I can't believe its on its 6th season already--It feels like it only premiered like two or three years ago! I caught the first two seasons of it and quite liked it and also marveled at how strong its character actor game was, so we'll see what familiar faces pop up in its current season--well not me, I still have three other seasons to catch up on, but you fine folk on the other hand...This is What's On for Friday April 17th 2020

(That was me coming up with my own plotline for the show--I'd watch that!)
RuPaul's Drag Race (VH1): The drag queen contestants must create and market ridiculously extravagant products for the new lifestyle drag queen brand "Droop" (So is this Droop company just outsourcing their Product and Development to reality show contestants now???)

(what are you new here?); TC is shaken when he runs into a former ex girlfriend. (CBS! CBS! CBS!)
The Blacklist (NBC): For some reason NBC is giving us a bonus episode of this show tonight but its also a rerun which is weird because i can't remember the last time NBC actually ran a rerun of this show! From October we have an episode here that focuses on Harold Cooper (Harry Lennix)---"Cooper's moral compass is tested when an officer long thought dead and someone he had served in Iraq with as a younger man turns up alive as a POW" (Dun Dun Dunnnn)

Pawn Stars (History): I believe its a clip show that focuses on the coolest vehicles to drive into the shop including a one of a kind rock crawler; a collection of restored Indian head motocycles; a custom gasler that can reach 192 mph; and a John Deere ice cream machine.
Strike Back (Cinemax): And finally Top Pick of the Night goes to this again longtime Cinemax staple (At least of the past decade) reaching its end point with "After receiving shocking intel from an unlikely Russain informant, Section 20 decides to reunite for one final mission to track down Arianna and avenge their comrades; however this time they're doing things a little bit differently." (I'm guessing explosions will occur tho no matter how different they decide to do things) (See Jay S? I told you I'd give it top pick for its finale!)
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND YOU GUYS AND GALS---I HOPE EVERYTHING STAYS SANE!!!
