Well, the word came down the pike that The Winchesters is now officially dead, and no one wanted to save it. Probably a little too soon for a Supernatural reboot.

This episode was dumb, as Earl focuses a lot on wanting to watch more TV, and win a big TV, and be on TV. The point of this episode was lost.

Man, urkel sounds really young. But, I finally got to the first episode of the show with urkel, and it’s funny how little he was actually in it, and how later on he almost becomes the lead.

11) Florida Man (Netflix)
English Audio Description?: Yes
Status: Not yet Renewed/ Limited
It feels like it wants to be like Ozark sometimes, but the characters aren’t as interesting. Disposing of a body in a sinkhole seems really lazy for Florida.And, there’s this scene where a guy is trying to pull a car out of a lake, and he’s not attacked by an alligator, so i call shenanigans.

Well, we find out more “potentials”, as someone gets royalty. Honestly, the fact that everyone is so comfortable giving their personal crap to this machine bothers me. Enter your social security number? Fuck off. I’m gonna go get my fortune from that simple machine in Big. It never asked me for my fingerprints.

English Audio Description?: No

The traitors eliminate in such a way that puts a focus onto Kate, who then works her ass off to get that shield. With Kate ineligible at the round table, everyone gangs up on someone who they think is faithful, but annoying the hell out of them. Then the traitors get to recruit one more. That didn’t work out for Ari in the US version, so whoever it is needs to think about what kind of game they want to play.
Episode Grade: A-

Frasier and Roz set their parents up. Only problem is Martin hates Roz’s mom. But, Roz’s mom had such a great time, and Frasier avoids conflict, leading to a great actual situational comedy, which is what this type of show is. One of those perfect storms of things happening, that Frasier was actually really good at knocking out of the park.

I’m a few episodes behind, but Kendall is preparing his pitch to the investors, including this weird Living Plus thing. Roman shows a lot of backbone for once, and even Kendall navigates a potential minefield pretty well. The boys are actually looking not terrible in their roles. Meanwhile, things are looking up for Shiv and Tom. And even Greg stepped up, really taking his job seriously. No sign of Connor though.
