Last week's Columbo, no I mean "Elsbeth" -- looking forward to this week when her guest 'villiain" will be her real life husband.

"Black Doves" for me and my wife too.  Just finished up the fourth episode last night.

Last night, we watched the Monkees Christmas episode, in which Butch Patrick (The Munsters) plays a young wealthy Scrooge.  The episode ends with this:

The Insects' Christmas from 1913: A Stop Motion Film Starring a Cast of Dead Bugs

Late as ever but very much enjoying 'Queen's Gambit'. And previously 'The Diplomat'.

Neither fill the void left by the ending of 'The Mirror and The Light' but I'm not sure anything is going to. That was superlative television.

Same here. I'm tempted to watch but so many of Marquez's images are the product of my imagination I'm not sure I want to see someone else's interpretation.

Having said that, just upthread I rave about the TV adaptation of the Mantel books that are also amongst my all time favourites

Have only watched the first episode. Would never have worked as a single movie. As a series has the potential to be excellent. Plan to continue forward with further episodes. IMHO you should give it a chance.

Sort of how Shogun worked as a series, but wouldn't have as a "stand alone".

Interior Chinatown - HULU, adapted from the novel, good job IMO.

Some iconic Black cowgirl and a bunch of Black cow people interrupting the Houston Baltimore game.

Game? That was a game?

[felser]

By far the best version of this.  The script and Stewart's nuanced performance are both superb.  Also watched the George C. Scott version, which is very different.  Scott is much more over the top.

NFL on Christmas? Someday, maybe, but noth games today were dull, at best. All five NBA games were quality entertainment.

NFL on Christmas?  Nah.
