    Democrats and the liberal media hate President Trump more than they
    love this country.

    Hey, thanks for asking!

    THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JUDGE BEAN (1972)

    Weird ass almost completely fictional biography. How weird ass you ask? Somebody decided to cast almost 30 year-old Jacqueline (Miss Goodthighs)
    Bisset as the teenage daughter of Mexican whore Victoria Principal who inexplicably picked up a British accent living in a tiny town in Texas.

    THE LIFE AND TIMES OF GRIZZLY ADAMS
    One episode of the series, which is even more completely fictional than
    Judge Ray Bean. Adams appears in the Judge Ray Bean movie played by a
    different actor, and his Bear friend also appears in the Judge Roy Bean
    movie playing a different bear.

    Both of these got me to go to the Wikipedia and try and figure out what the real stories were.

    The DVR won’t work this morning. The last thing I got to watch on it in the middle of the night was a THE INVADERS rerun with Dawn Wells as a hussy delinquent hot chick. It was down to 2% full for 30 programs most of which were still old reruns of To Tell the Truth.

    Still too hot to turn it in though.

    What did you watch?

    I signed up for Paramount+ and spent most of the day watching Star Trek:
    Lower Decks. Some people here seem to hate it, but I loved it. The main
    thing to remember here is that, unlike any other Trek, this is a sitcom.
    The target market appears to be people who think of Trek fondly but
    don't take it too seriously.

    S1e01 "Second Contact" The usual Star Trek catastrophes happen, but our
    team is just trying to live their lives around the edges.

    S01e02 "Envoys" Boimler and Mariner must transport a Klingon diplomat.
    It goes poorly.

    S01e03 "Temporal Edict" Boimler accidentally rats out the crew for
    padding their time estimates. Meanwhile, an away team is captured.

    S01e04 "Moist Vessel" The ship tows a broken cryosleep ship, which they
    call a generational ship, which symbolizes the crew's own broken
    generations.

    S01e05 "Cupid's Errant Arrow" Boimler's got a girlfriend, and she's suspiciously cool.

    S01 e06 "Terminal Provocations" Beta shift has a new ensign, a friend of Boimler's, and he's hopeless.

    S01 e07 "Much Ado About Boimler" Boimler turns even more annoying while
    "out of phase," while Mariner tries to impress an old friend.

    S01 e08 "Veritas" In classic Trek style, the gang is randomly put on
    trial.


    I also watched South Park: The Streaming Wars. I didn't enjoy it that
    much. There was some halfhearted satire and some attempts to be
    subversive with Cartman's boobs -- yes, you can get away with more
    because it's technically a male chest, I get it, I get it, okay?

    For a few years, they were actively trying to be cancelled. The show
    openly dwelled on how boring its own arc (Tegridy Farms) was and ended
    by displaying a #cancelsouthpark tag. I'm guessing this is from that
    era. It was nice to see Lianne finally saying no to Cartman, though.



    What did everyone else watch?

    Not much, as I had to do grading yesterday - basically golf, and soaps
    (which really don't need to be recapped). I would tell you that I'll do
    a two-day tomorrow, but the truth is I have a work meeting that will
    take all morning tomorrow so I probably won't have time to post one!
