Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
By the way, I can't remember if it was this thread that someone asked about whether I would recommend YouTube TV or not. At that time, I was having difficulty with YouTube TV in buffering and I said I would not recommend it at this point. Especially with the price increase, I thought that it was more frustrating than cable.
Well, guess what. My son educated me that it wasn't YouTube TV that was my problem. It was my old Roku TV that is a million years old and has a horrible wireless card built in, according to him. I bought a fire stick, installed it (okay, plugged it in), and the last week has been glorious. Not one single buffering event and everything just flies.
My apologies. What really struck me was when I was watching the Kentucky and Alabama football game. Everybody was talking about place that had occurred well before what I was seeing on the screen. Little did I realize that those little buffering events added up and by the time the game ended, I was many plays behind. I guess I could have fast forwarded through the television commercials, but I did not even realize I was behind because of the buffering.
In any event, I knew that there was some sort of problem with the TV when I stood beside it, was getting 150 Mbps on my cell phone, and 2 on the television. The fire stick has completely eliminated that problem.

Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
BTW that buffering is in a lot of the fundamental software out there, both audio and video, which is causing me issues trying to migrate my live simulcast auction platform. I want real time broadcast even if quality suffers and even if you have to skip some audio to keep up, but almost everything is designed to buffer and deliver quality over maintaining time sync.
And older NICs or firmware can cause a lot of wifi issues. Usually not much to do but throw out the card and get a new one, or a new machine. Or in this case bypass it.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

I’m bingeing through all three seasons of Yellowstone... when I get to the end I’m going to be mad that season four isn’t available until next spring/summer.

Tonight’s Johnny Carson episode is from 1975, the guests are Dean Martin, Bob Hope, Charles Neilson Riley, andZ Carol Wayne. This should be a good one...

Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
Relatively big news, Warner is going to run its entire 2021 movie release slate with simultaneous release on HBO Max as well as theaters, starting with Wonder Woman 1984 on Xmas day.
that includes Matrix 4, but also the Dune movie and Peter Gunn's new Suicide Squad movie.
The days of movie theaters may be coming to an end.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

I’m still crying, they were wise to get Dean out of there before Carol Wayne came out.
They had several bleep moments. The Charles Nelson Reilly exchange was hysterical about how quickly the boat could “go down”/sink. Johnny cut Dean off and begged him not to comment...

Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
Am currently watching the Reagans. Some things I was unaware of which the program clarified for me.
1) Reagan was a racist
2) Reagan was a puppet to big business
3) Reagan hated gays
4) Nancy Reagan was really the one in charge
5) States Rights was 100% about racism and anti-civil rights
6) Law and Order is a code word for racism
7) Reagan was a dolt
It was actually quite interesting in just listening to the spin. They had several of his staff peppered in with a multitude of detractors.Aging is an extraordinary process where you become the person you always should have been.--David Bowie.

Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
TV Series no longer on the air that I have either started watching start to finish, or have already watched start to finish, from Season 1, episode 1:
* The Office
* Cheers
* Breaking Bad (I didn't watch any of it until the series had concluded)
* Anger Management (wasn't great, but it was just good enough that I wanted to finish it)
* Bones
* Body of Proof
* Boston Legal (never saw a single show until years after it finished)
* House
* Monk
* Friday Night Lights
* The Good Wife
* In Plain Sight
* My Name is Earl (Help me, I loved that stupid show. Man, it was dumb.)
* Parks and Recreation
* Nurse Jackie
* Seinfeld
* Warehouse 13
In the future:
* Becker
* Dawson's Creek
* Dexter
* Mash (maybe. I don't care for the political undertones, but used to enjoy the comedy geniuses. We'll see. Been a long time since I've seen any of them)
* Private Practice
* The West Wing (maybe)
You guys have any suggestions for mindless TV shows to watch when I have insomnia, or it's Sunday night and I just don't feel up to watching anything current, or a replay of a ballgame? I posted that so you could get a little idea of what I like. And FWIW, current shows are pretty similar, I think...I do love Fargo, The Blacklist, All Rise, Better Call Saul, etc., but I'm talking about older shows now. Not necessarily 40 year old shows, but shows that went off the air 5-15 years ago for sure.

Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
I learned the cloud DVR that comes with AT&T Now isn't a true DVR. They blocked recording of Frosty and Rudolph so you could only watch it live, which we couldn't.
I'm guessing it has something to do with some rights agreement with CBS, but it's still annoying. And one reason why I'm buying physical media more often.U really think players are going to duke without being paid over Kentucky?--Gilbert Arenas, 9/12/19

Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
Warehouse 13? I didn't know you were a man of such refined taste and breeding.
That's a hugely underrated scifi show. One of my favorites.
Not in the same genre but I'm about to cue up Mythbusters and watch it from end to end. Still sad they retired from it.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
I loved My Name Is Earl until (spoiler alert! ) they sent him to prison. Didn't watch much after that.
Darrell, if you like Cheers and Parks & Rec I think you'd like Kim's Convenience and Derry Girls on Netflix. Both are very funny and easy to get in and out of.U really think players are going to duke without being paid over Kentucky?--Gilbert Arenas, 9/12/19

Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
Some of the better character development in scifi, especially for female characters. You don't find a lot of responsible roles for women in scifi. Myka and Claudia are great characters and very well acted. They have Jamie Murray (wont' spoil how for those who haven't seen it, but it's a brilliant twist on feminism), and of course C.C.H. Pounder is great as Mrs. Frederick.
Then they bring in Jerry Ryan and Kate Mulgrew, both great characters in Star Trek and great actresses, along with a host of others.
It's a cool premise. I think later they had to rush through some of the things b/c they knew they were on borrowed time with the Syfy network (asshats), but still a great concept.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

BTW I did watch Dexter. I loved the beginning, but it fell off for me over time.
