    Season 1, episode 1, The Bradshaw Bunch. Me and my wife are in it. Right after Terry has a panic attack in a Monster Truck the family is at Troy's (Aikmans wing bar at Texas Live). They show Terry with some fans taking selfies. Me and my wife are 2nd photo. In real life we got to talk to him and his family for about 10 minutes and got interviewed. He was really nice.

    I just binged the first 2 seasons of The Boys over maybe 3 or 4 days. God damn what a good show, we truly are living in the golden age of television, I would genuinely rather watch a lot of shows these days than movies, so much more time to flesh out the characters and story, but with the same quality as films.

    I know CGI is expensive and all but no Terror is a BLASPHEMY.

    Utopia on Amazon is a good watch. I'm not going to say it's 10/10, but it is definitely a fun show and a unique premise (even if it is a remake).

    Is Stress Relief the best episode of The Office? I was just laughing so hard at everything during this episode.

    Animal Kingdom. What a fun ride. One of my all time favorite series. Seasons 5 and 6 are being made now. You can watch seasons 1 thru 4 on Amazon Prime.

    About a family of mother, 4 sons and 1 grandson. They rob banks and other places. Lots of backstabbing and power moves.

    Solid A for this underrated series.

    I loved the original, but I haven't watched the remake. How does it stack up?

    Finally got around to watching The Sopranos.

    Binged the whole show in a few weeks. So during the tail end of my watch through while I still overall liked it, I did almost started to see it as a chore that I just wanted to get through, and I didn’t quite see why it was considered one of the best shows of all time.

    But then ever since I finished it last week, I can’t stop thinking about it. Catching up on theories/analysis from the past 15 years. Almost want to re-watch it again already.

    I think I realized part of why my interest slightly waned towards the end was because I had been holding out hope for redemption for some of my favorite characters… but it just never happened. The show just kept beating you over the head with the fact that these characters are BAD people, with very few (if any) redeeming qualities.

    And something about that was so refreshing, and I understand the high praise for the show. I can definitely see how it set the stage for some later great shows that starred flawed (or flat out bad) protagonists (like Breaking Bad, Mad Men, etc), but Sopranos did it to an even more extreme level.

    I'm binging Attack on Titan. Was never an anime fan, but this show is great.

    I know i mentioned it already, but if you're not watching Yellowstone you're really missing out. Episode 1 of season 4 is theater worthy entertainment. This is what Kevin Costner will be remembered for above all his other projects. The daughter is the ultimate villain (but loveable).

    I'm ready to put Yellowstone in Top 5 series all time. Yes, it's that great.

    I’ve watched a lot of anime, like a lot, and Attack on Titan is one of the best I’ve ever seen, maybe the absolute best all around. As for shows I’ve been watching, not much that’s not already beloved. Like Ted Lasso is amazing IMO, but everyone says that. Aside from that I try a lot of new shows but never end up getting past an episode or 2, lot of stuff Is boring and predictable these days.

    Arcane on Netflix is far better than a show based on a video game should be. It is an absolutely fantastic show.

    And three of those are Taylor Sheridan. I have no idea how he's doing it. Either he's not human or he's cloned himself. Here's his 2021...

    1883: creator, directed 8 episodes, credited with writing 4 episodes but also the only sole writing credit (think IMDB is late on updating)

    Mayor of Kingstown: co-creator, directed 2 episodes, wrote all 10, and is executive producer.

    Yellowstone: wrote every episode, EP, acted in 4 episodes this season, and directed 2 episodes

    Those Who Wish Me Dead (movie): wrote, directed, produced



    Running three shows airing at the same time is unheard of.

    Due to COVID, it is possible they were finished way earlier and were being sat on.

    I had never heard of "Those Who Wish Me Dead" but I'll be watching soon.

    He's also a real rodeo rider. Amazing talent.
