I have the Shout factory set of this which I watched the last couple years. It includes the "reunion" movie they made in 1999, Still Rockin' in Brooklyn Heights. I don't even remember that happening in 1999. Most of those reunion updates of series are pretty bad, and avoided watching this for a...

Toronto Blue Jays debuting their City Connect Uniforms tonight. WTF? I like the hat with the raised Maple Leaf, but this run of mostly really dark uniforms makes every team look they're playing for Gotham City. The guys on the right above look like they've spilled slushies all over...

At one time NBC promoted the Friends program having some extended episodes by a few minutes when they originally aired. (I believe it was some kind of sweeps stunt.) So wouldn't those be considered "original broadcast episodes" even if they were a bit longer than normal?

That's true, but then it forces people to take sides. Some people might now not like the Cabot because they saw nothing wrong with what he said or his behavior. Or, perhaps, they disagreed with things, but enjoyed the outrageousness of it for some reason. There doesn't seem to be anything in the...

Richard Dreyfuss has always been provocative. "We deeply regret the distress." What I find outrageous is the theater "apologizing." Are audiences really that fragile they'd blame the venue for it?

Maybe I just didn't care to notice...apparently it's been revived on Broadway a few times and twice adapted for television, once in 1982 with Faye Dunaway and Dick Van Dyke.

In my experience, this movie has always been pretty invisible. I've never heard people talk about it or shown much interest in it. I never came across it on TV. I've never noticed it playing in revival theaters in Los Angeles. I've never heard of any theater groups performing the Odet's play...

Dodgers are really a mess this past week.

I'm not one who trusts electronics as infallible, so I prefer the challenge system. (By the way, if you're 6'5" like Joey Gallo or 5'6" like Altuve how is the strike zone viewed or altered by electronics. It can't be the same place for both can it? Also, that article says, "When the system...

I'm in! I just saw Glen Powell in Anyone But You which came out last December. He's the lead in Twisters coming in July. Now another film in between! Looks good, I'm in. Linklater worked with Glen Powell is his film Everybody Wants Some, too, which I enjoyed. Interesting: The trailer says...

The 3 game series the Dodgers just played with 3rd place Arizona felt a bit like the NLDS from last fall. It's the first series win Arizona has won at Dodger Stadium since 2018. They shut out the Dodgers last night 6-0. First time they've shut out the Dodgers since 2017.

My first thought was that the British will get a snicker or two out of it. Do people in St. Louis call it The Lou?

Was nice to see Walker Buehler give an outstanding outing last night, two years to the day since he'd been sidelined. I guess teams get used to all the travel they have to do. Since they have to play every other team does that entail more? I was looking at the upcoming Dodgers schedule. They're...

The Dodgers went to Cincinnati last June 6 and greeted Elly de la Cruz in his major league debut. He walked all over the Dodgers and the Reds won 2 of 3 games. Tonight Elly de la Cruz did it again to the Dodgers. Against Tyler Glasnow no less. He went 4 for 4 with a career-best four stolen bases...

Someone posed the idea that the color of the confetti suggested the colors of the stadium seating. Walter O’Malley, the former owner who brought the Dodgers to Los Angeles, had a meaning for each level of seats and the colors they consisted. Top Deck is a light blue color that reminded O’Malley...
