Columbo: "Try and Catch Me" - A very charming episode in which the murderer is an 80 year old lady who writes mystery novels. Not the first episode to involve a mystery author, or even the first to involve murder by locking someone in a vault, but it's got a lot of personality. It's fun to watch Columbo interact with a killer who tries a faux-bumbling tactic very much like his own!
MASH: "The MASH Olympics" - A lighthearted and very silly episode, which is welcome given how serious things have been lately. I'm glad Donald Penobscott is continuing to make occasional visits. It would be weird to have one of your main cast married to another Army officer and never see him.

The Simpsons: "Frinkcoin" - An okay episode, despite being another example of this show trying to do something topical which ends up being old news by the time the episode actually comes out.
Family Guy: "Undergrounded" - Actually pretty funny!

Since then I've started up one I've been meaning to see for a while, Sam Barnett's Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. I'm three episodes in and I remain undecided. All of the actors' performances are stellar, but I'm having a really hard time getting engaged with the story. Finished off S1 of this, burned through the new season of Castlevania on Netflix, now on episode 2 of the BBC/Netflix Dracula from just recently.

And I am still in awe how George Lucas tried to $ue them over their Mr Plinkett review of The Phantom Menace, they factually ripped the movie apart with their own documentary footage! There is no comeback- You filmed it George HAHA
Its just an onslaught of truths HAHA

When did George try to sue them? AFAIK the only time the reviews were ever removed was very briefly and even then after Cartoon Network objected to some minor use of one of their characters, nothing to do with Lucas. I don't remember him trying to sue RLM but I could have missed it. Lucas has tended to have a very underrated sense of humour about SW - from appearing in Robot Chicken as himself to personally allowing Seth McFarlane and Family Guy to mock his trilogy (including turning Obi Wan into a peadophile) to even wearing a Han Shot First t-shirt on set.

I first heard about the law$uit from 1 of their videos (sorry, can't remember the exact year but it was before my son was born so at least 5-8 years ago ??)- I was surprised, as they made clear it's their "opinion", they presented "facts/figures etc" and it got thrown out- we all know how rich George is, lawyers gave him good advice. However it's done for "comedic" purposes but it's pretty spot on LOL.

All of the actors' performances are stellar, but I'm having a really hard time getting engaged with the story. Finished off S1 of this, burned through the new season of Castlevania on Netflix, now on episode 2 of the BBC/Netflix Dracula from just recently. Castlevania - Still good, but felt kind of aimless compared to the first two seasons, and then went insane in its last two episodes. Still, hopefully it gets a fourth go, because I love the richness of the world they've built and really want to see where they take the plot threads they were so clearly laying out for the next season. Dracula - Two phenomenal episodes, and a marked step down for the third. Really wish it had stayed a period piece till the end. Dirk Gently - Season 2 kind of a mixed bag in that it felt a lot more sure of itself than its first season, but at the same time I found the story a bit less engaging than the first year despite some great performances (plus a few familiar faces from Canadian TV from when I was growing up!). I'm kind of sad that it didn't get a third season, but then I suppose I'm kind of part of the problem if I didn't get around to watching the show till 3 years after it ended. The Umbrella Academy - Started this up today, four episodes in now. What a strange show. Enjoying it, but very strange.

This show redeemed my faith in Star Wars, "this is the way"......or is it "that way"?

Witcher was a big mixed bag for me. I loved the world they built, and Anya Chalotra in particular was incredible, but for the most part I found the storytelling pretty underwhelming. And the whole Westworld-y thing felt completely unearned IMO.

MASH: Season 6, Episodes 11-13 - I guess one advantage of Margaret getting married is that now she can be tempted by adultery like everyone else on this show...

Infinity Train. A Cartoon Network mini-series. It had been on my radar for a while, and having recently rewatched Over the Garden Wall, I finally gave it a go. Great stuff. Just the right mix of fun, weird, clever and charming. And it gets pretty damn dark and intense at times. The music is really sweet too. Has a retro horror synth vibe to it.
