Marco Luque: Tamo Junto (comedy special) (3:01 am, Netflix)

https://www.netflix.com/title/80160726





The Tunnel: Sabotage (season 2) (9 or 10 pm, PBS)

Trail Elise (Clémence Poésy) and Karl (Stephen Dillane) investigate the
abduction of a French couple from the Eurotunnel, leaving behind their
young daughter. The case is complicated by a plane crash in the Channel,
killing all on board.

Season 2 of the British-French adaptation (with the subtitle "Sabotage"
added) of the 2011 Danish/Swedish crime series The Bridge (Broen/Bron).
While season 1 of The Tunnel hewed pretty closely to the original,
season 2 diverges from the original, which is currently filming its
fourth and final series. The US adaption by FX, also called The Bridge,
lasted for two seasons.

Note: Check local listings. Unlike the Sunday night Masterpiece shows,
this one appears to vary a lot from station to station.

AFI Life Achievement Award: A Tribute to Diane Keaton (special)
(10 pm, TNT)




Cable reality:


Flip or Flop (season 7) (9 pm, HGTV)



Murder Among Friends (season 2) (9 pm, Investigation Discovery)



Alone (season 4) (10 pm, History Channel)

In season four, seven teams of two will be separated and dropped miles
apart with two ultimate goals: navigate the brutal, unforgiving terrain
of Vancouver Island in an attempt to locate their isolated partner and,
once reunited, survive as long as they can. For these seven pairs of
family members will having a partner help or hurt their chances of going
the distance?

I am looking forward to The Tunnel. I haven't watched any prior seasons
or series but want to check this one out.

The American version, supposed to be El Paso/Juarez, had a bit of
location shooting in El Paso and Tijuana (I don't know if the main
cast was brought to those locations), but most locations were
around Los Angeles.

The American female star was German, the Mexican cop actually is Mexican
despite not using a Spanish surname, Linder was Australian, the American's
mentor was American (Ted Levine, who got eaten by Hannibal the Canibal but
got better to play Stottlemeyer on Monk), the drunk reporter was an
American with a French surname, the junior reporter, supposedly Mexican,
is from Los Angeles. The property owner who allowed Mexican gangsters
to use a tunnel discovered on her estate is from Albuquerque, so she's
close enough.

These things really are international.

This one is really varying a lot from station to station. PBS put out a
press release a while back saying that it premiered tonight at 9 pm. Now
their website says "June-August." It starts tonight at 10 pm on my
Philadelphia station and on Monday on the Washington DC station, but
it's not scheduled yet at all on the flagship Boston station. I'd say
that, if it's not scheduled on your local station, watch the listings
over the summer, if you're interested.

Well it's about the chunnel being a body dump for a crime committed

PBS's Web site hides the schedule of the national prime time feed, forcing
me to choose the schedule of my local public television station, which
doesn't answer my question about whether PBS is distributing it.

Anyway, there's a page for the show on the PBS Web site, so I guess
that means PBS is distributing it.

There's a note that it was made for Sky Atlantic in the UK and Canal+
in France. Canal+ is a subscription channel. The Canal+ sister company
that produces movies isn't the producer; it's Kudos.

I looked at the Web site of Arizona PBS. The station denies it has
call letters, and the link to its public inspection file refers back
to the FCC Web site, where I can't look it up as I don't know the
call letters.

That's real cute, not to mention a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Anyway, I can confirm what anim said. They simply didn't buy it, or
they bought it but won't be airing it during the next two weeks.

How can you not be familiar with The Court Jester? It's one of those
eminently quotable movies, like The Princess Bride several decades later.

You didn't recognize the quote because anim didn't say it fast enough.

PBS. So each station shows it (if at all) whenever the bleep they feel
like it! In Socialist PBS, you do not watch TV at your convenience, TV
watch you at its convenience!

As a technicality, the coroner is the original administrative law officer.
He makes a determination as to the cause of death, following an inquiry
by the police and by his own office. Evidence from the autopsy is
considered but the coroner isn't the one who performs it. There's no
reason for a coroner to be a medical doctor or even a specialist in
a relevant field.

If the sheriff is corrupt, the coroner gets to arrest him and assume
the office.

Cause of death is either accident (death by misadventure in the UK), homicide
(death caused by another human being but not necessary by someone who can
be prosecuted), or suicide. I guess there can be a finding of undetermined.
If everything else is ruled out, then there can be a finding of death
by natural causes.

By the way, "medical examiner" is a term without meaning, except if
the official title of the public office in that county is "office of
the medical examiner". The term is mostly informal. It does not imply
that the office is held by an M.D., let alone a professional qualified
to perform an autopsy. Similarly, "medical examination" has no technical
definition in forensic science nor medicine. It's "autopsy" or "necropsy",
and don't ask me why there are two words for the same thing.

The relevant medical subspecialty qualified to perform an autopsy
is forensic pathologist. In lots of counties, though, autopsies are
performed by a pathologist at the closest hospital. They are trained in
looking for evidence of disease in tissue samples but not in obtaining
non-medically relevant but legally relevant trace evidence from the
body. In some counties, there is a legal requirement that the office be
held by a forensic pathologist, but then, they still might call the office
"coroner" or "medical examiner" instead of "chief forensic pathologist".

The legal situation on Quincy was strange. Astin performed autopsies
in addition to his administrative duties and yelling at Quincy. The
finding was made at autopsy and not after an inquest. If there's no
inquest, then there's no coroner.

Except... there were a number of episodes that were even more dramatic
than usual, allowing Jack Klugman to chew scenary at an inquest. Astin
presided.

It's my understanding that your county either holds inquests or it doesn't.
I don't understand why there'd be a situation in which inquests are held
on an optional basis, but otherwise, the finding is made when the
autopsy is complete and the doctor signs the report.

In my state, inquests (and the coroner along with it) are abolished on a
county-by-county basis. Cook County abolished the coroner a long time ago.
The office must be held by a forensic pathologist. In a neighboring county,
there's still an elected coroner contracting out autopsies to a hospital.
Elsewhere in the state, a few counties have a medical examiner. I guess
that means they abolished inquests but the office holder isn't a doctor.
On a county-by-county basis, the office may be elected or appointed.

Amazingly the local guide spells it CHECK PLEAS

Hey, the episode on OnDEMAND is doing the Pig & Pickle, which took over
my favorite Chinese place right by my house, and sounds so awful I've
never been. So I launch PBS OnDEMAND and it starts with commercial
after commercial after commercial.

Tonights special guests are an insurance underwriter and a meeting
planner and a marketing strategist.

The dirty looking chef with mid back dreadlocks and no hair net who
shouldn't be touching food says the name Pig & Pickle just shows they
have balance, it's the same as salt and sweet and fat vs acid. Okay,
he's dirty and stupid. And he's touching every part of the food with
his bare hands. His partner is the bartender who won't make what you
want or what other people serve. It just all looks horrible. The
marketer likes it 'cause it smells of pork and has aloha spirt
(what!?!?) and the underwriter likes it because it has tacky pig
figurines. The underwriter ordered the pan fried brussel sprouts (yes,
she and the show got the name wrong) which has a runny yoke egg on top
... and the vegetarian okra pie which has no pie. The marketing
strategist got fried pork rinds. Her husband got the duck, and they show
the image of the pork tacos. For dessert, vinegar pie, because, yum.
Amazingly, it's actually way worse than the menu alone would have had me
believe.
