April 22, 20233 yr What the hell is this show? One of the stronger pilot episodes I can remember. Buckaroo Bonzai vibes crossed with The Prisoner, starring the brainy bombshell from GLOW. I’m intrigued.

April 22, 20233 yr Not sure if this summary existing is good or bad, but if want a little of the V magic, but not willing donate more than 18 minutes… Just finished and fun memories.
April 24, 20233 yr More "V" production background, merchandizing and a word from our sponsor you won't forget in a hurry.
May 6, 20233 yr ^ this - thx G. I did appreciate that the commentators mostly were silent, and I enjoyed all the music. Well recorded for an all live performance.
May 6, 20233 yr Various feeds have it without commentary (e.g the Royal Channel) and Sky News has it in 4K HDR https://www.youtube.com/live/wq-VBIKNTUQ?feature=share

June 10, 20233 yr William F. Buckley Jr., Jack Kerouac, Lewis Yablonsky, and Ed Sanders strangely discuss "The Hippies" (with Allen Ginsberg looking confused in the audience)
June 12, 20233 yr Tour de France: Unchained on Netflix. Quite good if you are into that kind of thing.
July 12, 20232 yr Just in case anyone thinks the stewardess treatment was an exaggeration... Eastern, another long gone airline... https://www.instagram.com/reel/CukU2cBs2_2/?igshid=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng== (sorry, don't see it elsewhere)
July 12, 20232 yr I think Pan Am desperately wanted to be a female Mad Men in the skies in 2011... with a bit of Catch Me If You Can. They threw a lot of money at the show, but one of the reviewers mentioned it might have done better with the streaming services than network TV, due to the potentially adult nature of the storylines. I haven't seen the whole season... wasn't sure if this episode was available to help promote Barbie or for something else. Edited July 12, 20232 yr by HiWire
July 12, 20232 yr Hey, if we’re going through unsuccessful TV shows, any thoughts, or even remember, Normal, Ohio? John Goodman’s gay character moves from California back home to Ohio and Roseanne-style family hijinks (augmented with laugh-track) commence. Never heard of it, but been watching available episodes on YT (sadly not HD). Edited July 12, 20232 yr by blessingx
July 12, 20232 yr I may check it out, though I feel that I've lived it. Well, minus the hijinks anyway.

According to Wiki (also referencing this) it seems some criticized the character as being only "heterosexual, but gay", or I guess more bluntly, not gay enough (he sings show tunes, but "unrealistically" likes football and beer too). Maybe it was too early for either audiences or critics or at least when some were understandably concerned with utility of representation, but criticism seems more than a little strange 20+ years later. And only seven of the twelve episodes ever aired. Wasn't given much of a chance. Still can't believe I've never heard a reference to this show. Edited July 12, 20232 yr by blessingx
