Just finished, they wrapped it up very nicely. Great job of ending a show on a high note and not milking the cash cow forever

Agreed, loved it. Especially that we got a Sudekis dance scene.
Could watch his red tracksuited role on SNL’s What’s Up With That on endless loop.

Any reviews on Fast X ? Multiple domestic drivel entanglements recently have prevented me from driving to Grapevine to see it in IMAX from the back row middle seat for max sensory overload.

Was I supposed to type something here?
Too many car chases.
For you Lonesome Dove fans, who have probably only watched the show, and being the knuckle draggers that you are have never read the book, Robert Duvall patterned his mannerisms, voice, and gestures for the part of Gus McCrae in "Lonesome Dove" from Sammy Baugh, the hall-of-fame quarterback from Temple, Texas.
Said Duvall, "About a month before we started filming, I looked up a classmate, a rancher near Rotan, and he took me to see Sammy Baugh. I thought, 'Wow.' My dad had taken me to see him play with the Washington Redskins when I was ten years old. But he must have been seventy when I met him, and he didn’t even know who I was. We talked for hours about football and his life, and he just seemed to me like an old, tall Texas Ranger. So that’s where I got my gestures and voice and everything (for Gus McCrae), watching and listening to Sammy Baugh."

Everyone has known this factoid for decades and it’s been discussed ad nauseum on this board even. Why are you telling us this now as if it’s new information and calling people knuckle draggers?

Seems like just a new version of "Fat Man and Little Boy."

When Allie plays T-Ball and Raymond and Deborah have to bring snacks to a great episode.
Or when Frank takes the school record-setting game-winning field goal from the Hofstra-Northeastern game.

"Lucky Suit" and "Marie's Sculpture" are my favorites.
"Marie's Sculpture" was banned in England and by some syndicated channels. But it is a hoot.

She was the lady who took Beard to her flat in the episode "Beard After Hours". The bald guy was her boyfriend who chased Beard out of the flat.

I thought the middle of the season was really bad except for the last 5 minutes of every episode and the Denmark episode. But it get back on track the last 3 episodes and was pure art.

“The Curious Case of Natalia Grace” on MAX is a pretty wheels off documentary where you don’t know what the heck to believe the whole time you’re watching it.
And this guy is in it:

For all the girl dads or parents in general ”How Do You Measure A Year” on HBO and You Tube (I think). Very interesting and touching look at a daughters transition from 2 to 18. Movie maker filmed his daughter every year on her birthday asking the same questions - what makes her happy, what is power, etc. Very interesting look how she matures in to a beautiful young woman.

My son and his girlfriend have been watching a lot of Ted Lasso
I think that's a euphemism for something else
