It is no longer fall, but still the same season.
So I was jazzed to watch The Cleaning Lady and was happily entertained by the pilot episode.
I look forward to the 2nd ep tomorrow night.
The storylines are interesting, and it sounds like the arcs are going to be twisting a bit and not settling into any rut started in the pilot.
This is my favorite new show I've seen. And best of the week.

I'm not sure how long this show has been on.
I keep seeing ads on The CW for Superman & Lois.
I wonder how the audiences of the 1950s would have thought of a Superman who refused to shave.

I thought there was already an old Lois & Clark in the 90s?

He grows a Beard in Kingdom Come Superman by Mark Waid and Alex Ross, nice story and wonderful paintings in each page, one of the few comicbooks I would recommend.
Hollywood might be a problem, it shits all over the idea of an alien guy with power falling to Earth and becoming American. Whatever happened with Superman the older tradional Moses John Carter idea for superhero American alien guy who stands for America, it seems Hollywerid decided he was 'Un-Cool' they now try to make him into Batman or Daredevil or Blade or they want Superman to be some other thing. They in hollyweird think he should be smashing Zod into buildings and having 9-11 style implosions and collapse of buildings, they think his Alien culture that blew up his own plant is better or they try to make him someone else Dark or Soap Opera Cheating Drama ridden like Smallville because an upbeat story about some guy who embraces the American way and wins is 'Not Cool'. A Richard Donner Chris Reeve Superman for the Hollywood elite who lives as an odrdinary photographer or farmer is not cool. Superman it seems was dead with that weirdo Bryan Singer thery changed the story, who had Superman get Lois preggers, then fly away for many years to become a dead beat dad, then he comes back after many years, starts Spying on Lois, then James Marsden raises the kid Xmen Cyclops Westworld Enchanted...so maybe the kid isn't Superman's kid? Weirdo actor Kevin Spacey comes along and stabs Superman with the only thing that kills him Kryptonite but Kryptoniet doesnt work anymore...and the kid might have super powers after all?
It's not impossible for a 'Dark Superman' to work, it seems Alan Moore or Frank Miller could do it but the stuff today is poor.
Henry Cavill is not a bad actor, if given the correct role he is excellent but what they gave him with 'Justice League' was terrible.
I might just watch a few fight scene clips or Superman alien spaceships on some online social media channel, hours of episodes would be a waste of my time.
they gave Superman a beard and mullet, they made him Black, they made him a Feminist Porno Stripper looking Woman 'Super Mega Boobs' Powergirl there is a Super Cousin called 'Supergirl' he flies off to a dead planet for years in the Bryan Singer is a dead beat dad and spies on Lois, its a 'Superdog' its like all those Spider-man things, girls, boys, African, 'Venom' so many versions I'm not sure Superman really exists anymore

Yeah. That was a pretty bad show though. I mean, it was pretty standard for 90's TV, but most of 90's TV was garbage.
Most of 20's TV is complete trash for entirely different reasons, so I don't have any confidence that this will be an improvement.
Just saying that a Lois & Clark remake wouldn't be a bad idea in the right hands. I have no problem with people taking something from the past that was objectively bad and improving upon it. It keeps them too busy from taking something that was already excellent and ruining it for a cash grab.

Not a new show, but new to me.
Longmire is showing weekdays on Circle Network, 6pm Central Time.

What's the Circle Network? Was that the one you mentioned a while back in the RWED?
I haven't had cable TV since 2008. I don't even own a TV that can get the over the air stations after they switched to digital in 2009.

2-2 is always weather, 2-4 is H&I, 2-5 is StartTV, and 2-6 used to be Ion.

'Shogun' it won all the awards
Tv schedules are dead now, nobody does seasons anymore...Winter, Spring...its all a constant stream and download
Watchable?
next would maybe be a Korean show or Japan again, One Piece a Live Action version of the Japan cartoon TV Series
the show is wacko Pirates but more like a toon, Monkey D Luffy, a boy grew up to be a kind of retarded innocent adult whose body gained the properties of Stretch Armstrong Mr Fantastic rubber gaining power 'unintentionally'...that sounds silly cartoonish and so is the entire show, but most importantly its 'fun'.
the plot is about a bunch of ragtag Oddball misfits and guy who wants become the next King of the Pirates.
Classic type of Red Dwarf, Firefly or Guardians of the Galaxy misfits vibe
and ENTERTAINMENT!
LongMire looked good, a neo-Western crime drama
Trailers looked positive
too bad finance for the show died in 2017...is that when tv was ending...or...
US hollywood Tv entertainment died in 2021 it seems
I was not sure what would collapse first the tv stuff or the movie stuff
Penguin keeps tv alive
Batman who? Why The Penguin is TV’s biggest surprise of the year
https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2024/oct/30/the-penguin-hbo-c
olin-farrell
There were 2 Dark Matter shows, one on a scifi spaceship and one a new story about a big box road not taken
‘Dark Matter’
There is also a Germany show 'Dark'
another show with Dark in the title, 'Dark Winds' however looks ok, watchable and is still on tv, an American psychological thriller tv show created by Graham Roland from on the Leaphorn & Chee novel series
they say its good, critics and fans like it
but most shows struggle
Latin America has movies and shows but often lacks in set quality or production budgets compared to the USA, Europe or Asia.
NZ tried with Wellington Paranomal until Covid, Aussie had Outer Banks but bad acting and a show like The Tourist has more fans, a 2022 drama-thriller black comedy television series
most Hollywood backed shows are failures
its everywhere in the West now and BBC is equally as bad as Hollyweird, there are still old Classics, the joint productions that show you old Hollywood tv, HBO's Rome, The Crown etc but tv is gone weird and unwatchable now
the Penguin was probably the last US show with a pilot universally praised....but before Penguin... before that I have trouble remembering any good ones that are worthwhile, the pilot of Penguin was very good but its dark with little uplifting lots of darkness and violence but great acting in the Gotham Batman universe.
they said Kevin Costner in Yellowstone was great until it wasn't and he quit?
scifi in the West is almost dead
not all the comicbook tv stuff was bad, Legion TV series season 1 was ok FX...Marvel DC over saturates the market, Inhumans flopped, Punisher was darker than Batman then Marvel Disney started pushing on poor or unliked tv product after another Hawkeye, She-Hulk Attorney at Law, characters nobody really knows, the Secret Invasion
Batwoman TV series a disaster...then StarTrek StarWars stuff starts to fail
‘The Boys’ is dying, eating itself
it wasn't all terrible from Hollywood what I seen of 2022–2023 Pantheon was very good
but over all I would say Hollywood and US tv struggles now
Chinese have books and shows that the West wants but it doesn't need to sell them to the West?
The Three-Body Problem is getting a second season in China
https://bleedingcool.com/tv/the-three-body-problem-getting-season-2-sp
inoff-storyline-miniseries/
watchable?
Parasyte a South Korean live version of an manga / anime
Castlevania Japan anime...but a lot of names and studios and also US produced...I'm not sure who gets the profits...does it count as Hollywood or International or Indie?
another Japan toon Cyberpunk Edgerunners
Squid Game, mentioned already in the thread
Cable Girls Spain
Three Body Chinese version not the Western adaptation
The Bad Kids! Chines
