Here is one that nobody can care about.

I've always found it kind of amusing that the (original) NCIS cast is basically just a reskin of the JAG cast. Especially since NCIS is a spin off of JAG.

You have the older veteran leader who is always right

The handsome hot shot guy

The competent lady tough gal to balance the hot shot.

The nervous newbie guy for everyone to pick on.

NCIS added a few more characters to the mix but the core investigating team is basically the same people.

So I watched "In the Heights" yesterday, and realized it is set in and was filmed in the Washington Heights neighborhood where I lived as a child. Still looks pretty much the same as it did in 1971 as far as the buildings and storefronts, when my parents moved 1.5 miles north to the Bronx. When we left, it was in the process of changing from previous generations of immigrants to "Spanish Harlem".

Rupaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 6 is streaming exclusively, beginning today, on Paramount+ which is too bad.

I quite liked that show.

It's likely to end up on various free streaming sites that I won't link to here for Cristiano's sanity.

I'm surprised they didn't leave the cameras rolling, and turn explosive diarrhea into a reality tv show. You know the weirdos who watch reality tv would love to watch that.

Also, here's a link to a story about the situation that isn't paywalled:

I think I just stumbled into a Mandela effect situation.

You know the song Walking on Sunshine? It came out in 1985, and then it was in, like, every movie in the 1980s. It's traditionally played when the hero wins at the end. At least, that's how I remember it.

I just looked it up on IMDB, out of curiosity, to see how many films it was in... and according to IMDB, what I remember never happened! I mean, yeah, the IMDB page for Katrina and the Waves is long, and almost entirely full of them performing Walking on Sunshine (they are the ultimate one hit wonder). If you scroll down, though, look at what they were doing in the 1980s. You have a few obscure TV shows, half of them are in spanish, then The Secret of My Success (1987), and Look Who's Talking (1989). Great movies, big blockbusters, but I feel like it was in a lot more than just two films in the 1980s. After that, it got a bit of play here and there, mostly on TV shows (like Beavis & Butthead), until around 2000, when everybody started playing it again, probably out of nostalgia... but was it out of nostalgia for something that actually happened, or were we all too coked up to remember the 1980s clearly?

Maybe IMDB is wrong, I don't know. It's really weird, though.

Good Omens' Second Coming Has Been Greenlit by Amazon

Good Omens author Neil Gaiman says the show's second season will expand beyond the novel.

gizmodo.com

Though the first season of Amazon’s adaptation of Good Omens covered all of the beats from Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s original novel and then some, there were so many interesting details about the series’ world that were begging for more exploration, like Aziraphale and Crowley’s millenia-spanning friendship. To those who’ve been praying for more Good Omens, the retail platform-cum-production company has heard you.

Amazon’s just announced that Good Omens has been greenlit for a second season, with Michael Sheen and David Tennant returning as Aziraphale and Crowley, an angel and demon who’ve been friends since the beginning of time and grew even closer by surviving the end of days together. In a public statement, Gaiman, who’s returning as an executive producer, explained how— like Good Omens’ first season—the next chapter will also incorporate ideas from the novel’s sequel he and co-author Terry Pratchett never got a chance to pen together before Pratchett’s death in 2015.

I've been watching "The Republic of Sarah" and . . . I'm not sure I'll be able to continue.

It's all "stop being SOO MEAN!" How can they treat us like an independent nation just because we declared ourselves an independent nation!

On the spur of the moment, with no plan, a small town declared their independence. They keep running into issues. Since they had no plan. Still have no plan. They spend most of their time walking wearing heavy coats in a pretty setting while whinning. And a lot of their plans they do have are stupid (and, of course, mostly work).
