I'm excited the Amazing Race will be back in January. I was afraid because of the crud it might be over for good and although it's far from it's "my ox is broken" heyday I still love it.

I still think George Costanza’s fiancée dying by cheap wedding invites is the worst plot twist

I need to rewatch season 1 of The Witcher or read a quick summary. I had a hard time following it until I realized there were at least 3 timelines. I have a feeling I will still be confused.

I need to rewatch season 1 of The Witcher or read a quick summary. I had a hard time following it until I realized there were at least 3 timelines. I have a feeling I will still be confused.

Season 1 was more than a little confusing in that respect, so the show's creative team has made it a point to mention several times that this year's episodes will have one, linear timeline, even when the narrative jumps between different characters. So it should be easier to follow. Hopefully.

 

[MacMadame]

Having different timelines was a choice that made sense* last season because the whole season was about how those three characters got to where they did starting from different places and times. But now they are going to have adventures together so I wouldn't expect different timelines this season.

*I mean it made sense artistically, not that I could follow everything.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

The Witcher did a bad job of letting people know they were switching timelines. I get why they didn't want to flash up a message like 60 years ago because of artistic reasons but there is a reason why directors do stuff like that. Who cares how pretty it is if you leave the most of your audience really confused on the story.

I just found out yesterday than Mixed-ish was cancelled...back in MAY!

It was such a good show. Had no idea the ratings were not strong enough for it to last a good number of years.

Breaking news (ha) - there is a message on my t.v. that NBCSN will no longer exist after 12/31/21. MOST programming will be on USA network channels. The only thing on there now is Law and Order and Chicago PD reruns. That better mean they will carry the Winter O's, because I won't get the Olympic channel.

The Olympic Channel doesn’t show much if any live coverage of the Olympics so you should be good.

That's right! It was NBCSN that showed every skating program live. Yay. Now USA better do it.

They might do it on Peacock. It probably depends on what is easiest for them

 

[PeterG]

One Of Us Is Lying gets better and better every week. It's a step above most teen dramas, the writing surprises me at times and there are lots of twists to keep my attention at a high level. Every week a think a new person did it, and that's where the writers want us to go. The cast is really good and I have no idea who is the "one of us" who is lying...or even what's happening! I wonder if they will do as good a job as I expect in setting things up for a second season.

The plot line itself wasn't too surprising considering...

Spoiler: Spoiler

Chris Noth's commitments with filming "The Equalizer"

In retrospect, the plot line w/Peloton now doesn't seem that bad of an idea considering....

Spoiler: Spoiler

all of Chris Noth's sexual harassment allegations last week

I just looked at USA's schedule. They have Nationals short programs on Thursday, January 6!

That was a mind-blowing season finale for Hightown last night. The writing for this season was better than season one. They eliminated all the questionable character actions that needed to happen in order for the story to go where the writers wanted. Instead, everything made sense character-wise, although story-wise, we got to enjoy a LOT of WTF??? moments. So what a way to end the season, so many characters having stories which could lead to WHO KNOWS WHERE!!?? One of the best season finales I think I have ever seen. Frustrating to have wait for who knows how long for season three, but I am sure it will be worth the wait.

I'm only up to episode 6 so far, but you have encouraged me to press forward with watching.

 

[HeatherC]

I agree that Hightown was WAY better in S2 than it was in S1 although I did enjoy the first season overall. Jackie's journey through sobriety and her struggles and breakdowns felt SO real and all the WTH moments in the drug story definitely kept you on your toes! The S2 finale was very good and I think they used it as a great set up for the story to go several different ways for S3. I'm excited to find out what choices they make for the characters and how they move forward after the events of S2! BTW-I don't think the show has officially been renewed for S3 yet so we need to keep our fingers crossed that they bring it back!

Just watched again and nope nope nope nope nope. I am still not buying Kate and Phillip as a couple. I am not buying Kate and Toby are soon to permanently break up, get divorced, her getting a relationship together with Phillip to the point of getting married all in pretty much just 4 years from the date of Kevin & Madison's called off wedding. Just no! I do not like this at all! If Kate Pearson and Phillip were real people embodying all the characteristics and personality and traits of fictional Kate and Phillip, they would never be a couple. If Kate and Toby were real people, they fit together perfectly. I do not like the direction of this story at all! Not at all!!!!!

In case you missed it ..... I don't like Phillip! Kate and Toby are perfect for each other. I am not going to be very happy watching this play out. I refuse to accept it. So there.

 

[PeterG]

I never liked Toby. Or the actor who plays him for that matter.

 

[Japanfan]

My prediction is that Toby taking the job in San Fran for three days a week causes the relationship to collapse.

As to Kate and Phillip, I'll see how their relationships develop.

As to it being four years since Kevin and Madison's wedding, four years can be a long time. Especially if Kate and Toby break up in the first year, which I expect will be the case.

I think a clue was given when Toby said: "I love my children, but . . ."

 

[Allskate]

I never liked Toby. Or the actor who plays him for that matter.

I didn't like Toby, either. But, I could see him and Kate together. And, while I can see them breaking up, I agree with @BaileyCatts that, at least at this point, Kate and Phillip together don't make sense and I don't really like him that much. Maybe they will flesh out the Phillip character more so that it makes sense, but right now I don't see it.

I didn't like Madison at first, but now I hope she is able to find someone great.
