According to IMDb (whose new format I am liking a lot better) the original
boomerang actor, Nick Tarabay, ended his career with last year‘s appearance
as a CLYPSO on Stargirl SG1 which I of course wasn’t able to see.

He wasn’t a Riverdale actor anymore than Vanessa Morgan is. Just a

The answer is yes, but who knows what look she will take on for
REACHER. After all she is supposed to be ex-military so the short hair
look wouldn't be out of place.

Whoa, I looked up the IMDB page and saw this white haired dude with an
FBI vest on in the images and wondered who that was. Surprised to see
that is Joe Mantegna. Didn't realize he was well into his 70s. At
least it looks like Lola is still acting (in THE OFFER) so maybe?

My interpretation= There was an Israeli TV series with a $20k prize
that they awarded to the winner. This is taken as a sign that Netflix
will do more with Israel in the future.

To quote PSYCH
I’ve heard it both ways, the right way and then Ian’s

The official story is that it was planned as a stopgap until Wesley the
rogue vampire watcher became available. Others say it’s because the Doyle
actor was too drugged out to keep going.

You have missed out on a great show. Sadly she only appeared in one
episode so if you were to watch it only for her it wouldn't be
rewarding, but the show has many other great performances, especially
among the Belters.

Now now, how else could he be sure to get the father and son together
in the same place? It's not like families ever have get togethers at
birthdays, holidays, just because it's a day ending in Y. He needed
that complex plan to bring them together and to show us how smart he
is. So smart he had a plan that offered no exit for him after going to
all that effort to get out of prison. Oh and so smart that he felt the
need to be involved when he could easily have had one of his minions
kill the son and leave a message for the dad that said he was
responsible, but then he couldn't have looked on as the father watched
the son die.

Daddario is not in season #2. Neither is Sydney Sweeney. But Meghann
Fahy will be in season #2, among others.

(I still haven't even watched season #1, and who know when I will!...)

I like Harmon (though I like Nick Tarabay even more!), but "The Flash"
is hot garbage now. The only thing that could have gotten me to come

This sounds like a seriously bad idea. Cronenberg is not know for his
story-writing, and his "world-building" is 100% from "atmospherics". A
TV series will need, like, an actual *backstory* and character
development!

It's easy to forget that there was a "Step Up" TV series, but no one
has ever seen it, as first it was on YouTube's "pay" service (IIRC),
and now it's on Starz, and... you know I have to say it!!:

Can't believe she was 88! I want to say that I've seen her on TV stuff
within about the last 5 years or so, so she much have kept working
until near the end!

You watch "Your Honor" so I don't have to!!

"The White Lotus" I'm eventually going to have to bite the bullet on, I
fear... :S

Gloria has always been a quiet and underrated hottie throughout the
years. Even as she's gotten old, she's still appreciated.

How can they remake a series that never existed in the first place?
SCANNERS was a movie, not a TV series.

Christina was another one who could get me to watch something just
because of her beauty but I haven't seen her in years. Don't know if
she's still got it.

I have to admit, watching the game on streaming gives a *much* better
picture and sound than watching it on cable.

Only problem was halftime. They don't have the setup to do a normal
halftime show, so all we got was endless commercial breaks with them
coming back to Charissa Thompson for 10 seconds-- just long enough for
her to say "Stay tuned for the second half" and go back to another bank
of commercials.

So not really life in prison, then, right?

Just like California, where people get sentenced to "life without the
possibility of parole" and then end up being paroled anyway.

A teen's dad dies and he has to send his mother to rehab. He meets a
cute girl at school and starts to get his life back together when she
disappears. As he searches for her, he finds that she's not who she said
she was and starts to unravel a conspiracy that also involved his late
father.

Which is the other end of the ridiculousness of NOOKIE: FEDS. She's told
old to be a rookie agent and Mantegna is too old to be an agent of any
kind. Mandatory retirement-- by law, no one can make an exception, not
even the president-- for a GS-1811 is 58 years old. A 70-year-old FBI
agent is just... stoopid.

Yeah, it could work if they said he was a "consultant". But to have him
be a full-fledged member of the team was ridiculous, going back to when
he joined the show.
