I was WY out of the demo by the time Blues Clues started airing, but my
kids (4 x2) started watching the old shows on Paramount+ during COVID...we
just started the new series ("Blues Clues & You") this morning, and Steve
shows up to help his "cousin" figure out how to play with Blue. Not goi
Whichever costume wins the next cycle of "Masked Singer". Not the

For the record, Apple TV+ is only $5/mo, and there's almost always a free
trial. The catalog is more limited than other services at similar price
points (Hulu at $7/mo, Disney+ at $7/mo by virtue of a pre-launch
multi-year offer), but Apple has been aggressively adding originals and
buying film
Martin Lloyd has finally gone home. RIP.

Quite. It was apparently the 2015 ceremony I was thinking of.

Is there a reason Lorne would have been pushed to fire Armisten? I know he
used him for Schmigadoon, which was also an NBCU production, so it seems a
little odd (unless something's come up recently that hasn't been made
public...)

I actually thought "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist" handled this better than
most shows on TV.

I got really confused for a moment - I saw "Commander Cody" and my mind
jumped to "Commando Cody", and all I could think of was the old MST3K riff
("Nipple nipple tweak tweak fly fly fly!") which...probably inappropriate
given the circumstances.

I have concerns. Yes, JMS’s involvement is a great sign, but the
Lando/G’Kar dynamic was lightning in a bottle. Whoever gets cast in those

So there are a couple of things getting lost in the narrative of "the
ratings are way down":
- The Tonys are usually in JUNE, not September, so they're not normally
competing with Sunday Night Football
- This Tonycast was not well promoted; *I* knew about it because I
follow certain
And the rumors (that I've read, anyway) are that the social-media blanking
somehow ties into the main arc for Season 13.

What about Canadian production? Lots of American TV (particularly sci-fi &
CW superhero shows) gets produced in our neighbor to the north. Has there
been any indication that their union intends a sympathy strike?

There may have been logistical hurdles to bringing back an audience - TDS
just moved into new digs @ 1515 B'way (the ancestral home of Carson Daly),
and while that's not a location unfamiliar to handling audiences, it's more
complex than TDS's old "let 'em wait on the street" approach.
