Our house probably watches Discovery more than HBO. My wife likes anything “true crime” no matter how poorly produced (and most are poorly produced), and we both like animal focused documentaries. This week we’ve been watching “The Zoo” about the behind the scenes world of the San Diego Zoo and Saf

*raises hand* I know I'm in the minority here, but I really enjoyed the original run of @midnight and was not happy when CC pulled it, so I'm glad to see it coming back in some form. I do have concerns that having the show air on CBS will tone down some of the humor, but I can see the panel r

I'll admit that I liked it, too, although I only watched occasionally (mainly when a comedian I really liked was among the "competitors"). I wonder if the new version is going to open with the host saying "It's 12:36 and 59 seconds." > On Feb 8, 2023, at 11:21 AM, M-D November wrote: > > *ra

I was also a fan of @midnight and I’m even a fan of Chris Hardwick. I liked @midnight for the same reason I liked Lights Out With David Spade. It gave me a chance to see a bunch of new comedians. Hardwick’s company helped produce @midnight. It was part of his empire that included his podcast and Ne
