Avatar: The Legend of Aang, Book 2: Earth Rewatching with my brother and a friend of his. Man, I do love all of this story and its world, but Book 2 is some of slickest writing the show has. Every episode feels like a complete and rich installment, yet they feed so gracefully into each-other over the course of the Season Arc. Perfect balance of episodic and long-form story telling

Columbo: The Most Crucial Game - The one where Columbo asks the guy how much he paid for his shoes. Robert Culp is once again great, and there's a ton of money on screen. Case in point, the slow zoom on Columbo sitting alone in the empty Los Angeles Colosseum. The actual script for this football caper is on the weaker side, though. Very weak final clue that doesn't actually prove much.
MASH: Season 1, Episodes 7-8 - Before JD and Turk, there was Hawkeye and Trapper....I think Episode 8 is the first time any of our characters have been in real peril.
Monty Python: Blood, Devastation, Death, War, and Horror - A man who talks in anagrams!

Hello again.
Just started watching the second series of Disenchantment. Matt Groening's satirical fantasy cartoon which is odd but I really enjoy it. The second episode Stairway to Hell is particularly funny.

Monty Python: Blood, Devastation, Death, War, and Horror - A man who talks in anagrams! Robert Culp has to be one of my favourite actors from television. I know him from his roles in The Outer Limits and I, Spy, he had a terrific sense of pathos that man. Really grounded. I cannot recommend "The Architects of Fear" and "The Demon with a Glass Hand" from Outer Limits enough. Particularly "Architects" as it formed the basis of Alan Moore's Watchman comic. Very good writer as well, judging from his stuff for I, Spy (he wrote its debut episode, among others) and The Rifleman. It was a bit of shock when he popped up as Wallace Breen in Half Life 2. I was not expecting it.

The High Life
(Alan Cummings Airline Sitcom from the 90s as a couple of Eps are on the I-player just about the right balance of rude and funny)

Temple. Sky One show with Mark Strong as a surgeon working in a secret clinic below Temple tube providing medical services to clients that for whatever reason want to retain their anonymity. Its OK, could probably do with increased dramatic tension as the tone is a bit slow.

Hello again. Just started watching the second series of Disenchantment. Matt Groening's satirical fantasy cartoon which is odd but I really enjoy it. The second episode Stairway to Hell is particularly funny. Hello again. Well that was very frustrating. Series 1 part 2 finished on yet another cliffhanger. I enjoyed it but I would have preferred to see more of the ongoing arc than self contained sitcom style episodes as the ongoing story is really good. Having said that The Electric Princess and In Her Own Write are really enjoyable. Fortunately, another 20 part series 2 has been commissioned for 2020/21. It was weird hearing Noel Fielding as the Executioner a couple of hours after hearing him on Bake Off. At least The Good Place returns at the end of the week on Netflix and NBC in the US.

MASH: Season 1, Episodes 11-12 - The Gang Steals Frank's Blood and Santa Claus drops into a war zone for a bit of field medicine.
Night Gallery: Season 3, Episodes 7-8 - Burgess Meredith is always a welcome addition to a Rod Serling joint, but this was not one of his better outings. Also there was a story about a writer in a haunted house, which involved an evil trunk bursting out of a boarded up shed like the god damn Kool Aid Man.
Monty Python: Season 3, Episodes 9-10 - The Olympic Hide & Seek Finals!

Finally figured out a way to watch my Blake's 7 DVDs, so started re-watching. So far I'm through series 1 episode 4. This morning I got to watch the episode with BRIAN BLESSED. I remember the ending being very badly edited as to how he gets manoeuvred into the Teleport after his arrival on board ....and his training shoes 😂

MASH: Season 1, Episodes 13-14 - Two episodes largely on the same theme - in the one, the boys try to find one of the nurses a date to cheer her up, in the other, the boys try to find Radar a date to cheer him up. If only they'd overlapped and hooked Radar up with the nurse!
Night Gallery: "She'll Be Company For You" - Leonard Nimoy loses his mind because of a cat which may also be a tiger or something because his wife died? Truly incomprehensible.
Monty Python: "Dennis Moore" - This redistribution of wealth is trickier than I thought.
