‘The Avengers’ ‘Look-(stop me if you've heard this one) But There Were These Two Fellers...’ An episode from the Tara King era where land developers are being murdered by clowns and entertainers from the bygone days of the music hall. From the description alone, you can probably tell why I love this programme.

MASH: Season 4, Episodes 13-16 - Guns, letters, tomato juice and feet. I, uh, really didn't need to see Hawkeye playing with Potter's toes. Igor, the eye bleach, if you please.

Currently rewatching ‘Life on Mars’ Sometimes it’s easy to forget what a minor phenomenon this was back in the day. Still great television.

Another assortment of recent episodes.
Family Guy: "Connie's Celica" - Decent for a modern Family Guy, though the show's usual pitfalls are present.
Curb Your Enthusiasm: "Happy New Year" - Larry David makes a very welcome return and is just as adept at exploiting social loopholes as ever.
Short Treks: "Children of Mars" - Pointless trash with a truly loathsome Bowie cover.
Picard: "Remembrance" - I liked it. I'm very surprised to say that since I really hate both Discovery and the Short Treks and this is more or less the same band of people involved. I'm not 100% happy about everything in it, and the overall arc could easily wind up going somewhere stupid, but for now, this first episode was pretty good. It's nice to enjoy Star Trek again for once.

Falling Skies Season 5 Episode 6-10 Finally finished this series lol. Took me long enough. Bit of a lackluster ending. Should have swapped plotlines from Season 4 and 5 around
The Outsider Episodes 1 and 2 Wow this is brilliant. Slow burning but it works. Makes me think of True Detective

MASH: Season 4, Episodes 17-19 - Potter orders everyone to be nice to Frank; Hawkeye talks and talks and talks and talks to no one in particular; Radar makes a friends and it ends in tears.
Alright, I gotta say that "Hawkeye" episode sucked. I really didn't need to watch a full episode of Alan Alda just nattering away constantly with no other plot or characters. And the incessant singing!!! WHY??? I appreciate wanting to change up the format, but this one is not a successful experiment if you ask me.

MASH: "The Novocaine Mutiny" - Hawkeye on trial after Frank charges him with mutiny. This goes so far beyond their usual spats I'm shocked Hawkeye will ever be able to even be in the same room as with him again. It's not snarking back and forth, or practical jokes, or even reprimands, Frank tried to have him hanged.
Columbo: "A Matter of Honor" - Columbo goes to Mexico, where Khan Noonien Singh is a murderous bullfighter. I like that they referenced Columbo's cruise ship adventure from last season as a pretense for why the Mexican cops would trust him. Overall a pretty boring episode, and by the end I don't think Columbo's proved much of anything. He has plenty of evidence, none of which he uses in his final gotcha.

MASH: Season 4, Episodes 21-23 - Diabeetus, old flames, and newsreels. I noticed they've sneakily reset the timeline from late '52 back to 1951...

Over the past week or so I've been watching 'Wisting' with my mother at lunchtime. It might not be my favourite ever 'foreign' show, but I've enjoyed it...

Decided to try Netflix' reboot of Lost in Space.
The pilot episode was amazing. Even if you don't watch the rest of the series, that pilot episode is phenomenally well made and well worth watching.
I'm now three episodes into the series.

Killing Eve Season 2: Very different from the first season, but equally enjoyable. Consistently excellent, with some truly despicable villains.
Shrill Season 2 episode 1: This was...pretty good. The first season was so perfectly self-contained that I'm wary of this one because it seemed to have already said everything it needed to say. Right now it's just coasting on Aidy Bryant's charisma.

Curb Your Enthusiasm: "Side Sitting" - That's a creative use of sworn testimony...
Picard: "Maps and Legends" - Meh. There was a lot more that I disliked in this one than in the first episode. Mostly within Picard's storyline. I am still quite interested in the Romulan facility. I just see some of the same problems with Discovery coming down the line like a freight train...

Hello again, I'm Janet and I'm very sad... and happy too...
It was with a heavy heart I sat down to watch The Good Place's 52nd and 53rd episodes. I needn't have worried. The finale of this sitcom was a fitting end to proceedings. The Good Place was a charming experience with some really funny observations on what it is like to be human. Its main characters were well-written and beautifully acted from the start. The story twists and turns and gives you a crash course in philosophy at the same time. Like many other sitcoms it finishes before it has got stale. Always leave them wanting more. I shall certainly watch this series again in a few bearimys time. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and joins my list of favorite sitcoms. Remember Pobody's Nerfect and take it sleazy folks...
