Williams runs No. 6 Irish past No. 24 Hokies, 45-23
I thought this might be a tad closer and therefore more entertaining, but alas…
Statuses
📺 "I Feel Bad" I Lie to My Kids | NBC
Directed by Julie Anne Robinson. With Sarayu Blue, Paul Adelstein, Madhur Jaffrey, Brian George.
I probably over-identify with parts of the characters, but the show isn’t quite as funny as it ought to be. I’ll give it until episode 6 to straighten itself out.
📺 "Will & Grace" The West Side Curmudgeon | NBC
Directed by James Burrows. With Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally, Sean Hayes. Grace's accidental run-in with Noah, a curmudgeonly man she follows on Twitter, hints at a possible new love interest. Jack wants to look younger before meeting Estefan's family on Skype but makes a terrible first impression after overdoing the numbing cream before his facial procedure. Meanwhile, Will helps Karen protect the intellectual property rights of her most prized possession.
Somehow this show seems to get funnier and funnier. It may be one of the more consistently funny shows out there. David Schwimmer as a developing love interest for Grace is inspired and the two of them seem to have an intriguing chemistry.
I just caught the credits of Black Sheep Squadron, and I’m pretty sure the music inspired the theme song for the A-Team.
📺 Texas vs. Oklahoma – October 6, 2018 | Fox
No. 19 Texas beats No. 7 Oklahoma on last-minute field goal
I was worried that Oklahoma was going to lose to Texas by 3 touchdowns in the 4th quarter, but about 3 minutes later they’re suddenly back in the hunt!
📺 "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" Ellie Kemper/Sam Elliott | CBS
With Stephen Colbert, Ellie Kemper, Sam Elliott, Jonathan Batiste. Actress Ellie Kemper (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (2015)); actor Sam Elliott (A Star Is Born (2018) and The Ranch (2016));
📺 Alexis Ohanian | Amanpour & Company | PBS
Hari Sreenivasan sits down with Reddit co-founder and tech visionary Alexis Ohanian.
I expected this to be far more interesting. Alas, the interview was too broad and general and not about anything in particular (i.e. there was nothing particular to focus on and thus ultimately too generic.)
📺 Jeremy Hunt | Amanpour & Company | PBS
As tempers flare over Brexit, British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt compares the European Union to the Soviet Union. Christiane Amanpour sat down with him in New York to discuss the state of the negotiations.
📺 October 3, 2018 | Amanpour & Company | PBS
Christiane Amanpour interviews Michael Lewis, author of “The Fifth Risk: Undoing Democracy,” “Moneyball,” & “The Big Short;” and Peter Szijjarto, the Hungarian Foreign Minister. Michel Martin interviews Larry Ward, the Chief Marketing Officer at Gun Dynamics.
What a painfully depressing episode
📺 October 5, 2018 – PBS NewsHour full episode | PBS
Friday on the NewsHour, Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court is now all but assured. Also: A police officer is convicted in the shooting death of a Chicago teen, the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to activists against rape as a weapon of war, where the #MeToo movement stands one year later, the analysis of Shields and Brooks and Easter Island tackles the plastic problem.
👓 “Star Trek: The Next Generation” Gambit: Part I | KVME
Directed by Peter Lauritson. With Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn. While investigating the apparent death of Capt. Picard, Riker is abducted by a group of intergalactic archaeological thieves, only to find Picard has apparently joined their ranks.
📺 "Murphy Brown" I (Don’t) Heart Huckabee | CBS
Directed by Pamela Fryman. With Candice Bergen, Tyne Daly, Nik Dodani, Faith Ford. Murphy devises a plan to sneak into a White House briefing; Phyllis hires a college student to help out at the bar.
This show seems awfully old and stodgy. I’m not a fan of what sounds like a laugh track or the slower pace that should be twice as snappy.
Apparently I’ve managed not to tape the first episode, so I’m starting in on episode two.
📺 Brett Kavanaugh's SCOTUS nomination | Washington Week | PBS
A partisan battle over Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court dominated Washington this week. The panelists discussed how the nomination process got to this point, along with what this weekend's confirmation vote could like.
