Lookong at the listings to find the football game and I see CNBC is showing "Larry King's Prostate Report"

Feel free to insert jokes about close up and in depth reporting.
What's the over/under line for polyp count?

Do you get those bizarre personal injury lawyer ads featuring Larry King conducting an interview with the head personal injury lawyer woman over in Ottawa? They're so strange.

Not that I know of. Or at least I've never seen them.

I'm sure I've seen an ad for Wendy Sokoloff, but not those.

Watching the Punisher on Netflix. It's fine, about 6 or so episodes in, and it's just kinda slow. The B Plot (with the DHS agents) is pretty boring, too. About the only thing really outstanding is Jon Bernthal.
I haven't really dug anything since DD2. Cage was too long, Iron Fist had bad casting and writing, and Defenders, while short, seemed undercooked. I hope they pick it back up soon.
Im liking Punisher alright, I find all of these tend to start a tad slow. I really enjoyed Luke Cage. Ive been mostly satisfied the the Marvel/Netflix stuff. Never watched Iron Fist, the main character was mostly annoying in the Defenders, his girlfriend would make a potentially more interesting character.

As for where to stream other shows in a potentially extra legal matter I use
https://solarmoviefree.me
And
http://stream-tv7.co

You do need to be mindful of the pop ups and spyware but I use it all the time with no ill effects you just need to not click on things you shouldnt.
Cage was cool, I think more than anything I just liked Cottonmouth a lot and didn't think Diamondback was very effective as a villain, nor the grand reveal about his past to be all that interesting. Plus every single episode was structured around Luke saying "I don't want to be a hero, oh well, maybe I should."
This was exactly my feeling on this. Luke Cage suffered to me once Cottonmouth was gone. The first half was much stronger than the second. I think it's maybe on par with Punisher. Anything is better than Iron Fist. I really can't wait for season 2 of Jessica Jones, though.
I'm about halfway through Punisher and liking it a lot. It's kind of nice that it doesn't feel obligated to tie itself to the rest of the Marvel universe all the time and can stand on its own a bit. Jessica Jones s2 is big in my list of things to look forward too as well. It will be hard to top the Purple Man as a villain though. I wonder if the antagonist will have powers or not...

I’m guessing not too many will know who Hamish and Andy are but for those the don’t they are a couple of ‘Aussie larrakins’. They currently have a great concept for a show.
It is probably based on Graham Norton’s ‘red chair’ although is 30 minutes long. Basically they get someone on who they have never met and then the guest tells their story which is a true story that is legendary however only within the guests group of friends although deserves to be told to a wider audience. Some are average but there have been some real crackers.

Halfway thru Ken Burns' Vietnam War documentary. It's quite affecting, obviously emotionally manipulative, with veterans on both sides relating their experiences, as well as one family of an eager volunteer who didn't survive. I admit that the interpretation of the war meshes with mine—a tragedy driven by ideology and hubris, a failure of moral courage by leaders, and evil acts done by otherwise decent people put in a horrendous situation—but it is entirely engrossing, even voyeuristic. It also reflects that sentiment of the past as a foreign land—this actually did happen, time and passions accelerated at a blinding speed, a watershed for so many people. I've found Burns' previous work hit and miss—I don't care much for his triumphalist work—but so far this has been effective.

I've been interested in his Roosevelts series but I haven't been able to devote any time to it.

Didn't like that one. Sure, it's got lots of material but I have no idea what the argument behind it all is besides, I guess, the Roosevelts were really important in the first half of the the 20th c. Oh, okay. It's an example of that triumphalist tendency he has. American history is wonderful because America is wonderful!

If you know zilcho about the Roosevelts it might be worth a casual viewing, but it really is just a bland presentation of information. One that I'm very high on is The Dust Bowl, which is a story of an inconceivable man-made environmental disaster that was utterly epic in its assault. It's hard to understand how people lived through it all.
