Quickie Review: NCIS Sydney

"Kevin M." <drunkba...@gmail.com>: Nov 19 10:15PM -0800 I suspect the Aussie acting community is grateful for big budget work, but Crocodile Dundee was less one dimensional than the characters on this series. There are some decent actors in the cast, but they weren’t given anything to do.   P.S.- It would amuse me if it turned out this series was secretly filmed in Glendale CA like most of the other NCIS flavors are.

Help needed identify comedy show I saw on YouTube

Steve Timko <steve...@gmail.com>: Nov 19 11:45AM -0800 I’m trying to find out more about a TV clip I saw on YouTube. When I look at my YouTube history, it’s no longer there. I think it was a YouTube Reel.   I think it might be a Canadian show. Kind of a cross between “Last Week With Jon Oliver” and “The Daily Show.” It’s like there’s a panel of people in a semi-circle on the stage. The host throws the discussion to a panelist. In this case, it was to a woman who I’m certain was raised in the United States. She looks like a shorter, younger version of Adele. She started by giving a narrative of how Nissan is struggling. They used Brie Larson as a spokesperson but were planning to move away from her. Then they decided to stick with her through the latest Capt. Marvel film. That film is almost DOA and Nissan’s marketing efforts look dismal. Then she did a bit about Nissan needing its own superhero to rescue them. She has a fantastic gift for mimicry. I’m sure she’s destined for SNL. It was a funny bit. I want to share it on Facebook but now I can’t find it.   She speaks without a Canadian accent. There wasn’t enough discussion from others in the clip to tell if they were Canadian. But it seems low budget. I’m wondering if it got shared and then pulled back because it’s not allowed in the USA? Or maybe it’s from a cable show or a streaming channel?

David Bruggeman <bru...@yahoo.com>: Nov 19 08:12PM The latest Marvel film with Ms. Larson is in it's second weekend, so it's possible whatever show this comes from hadn't officially aired that episode yet, and the video was posted online early and taken down. Rampant speculation on my part, but if it is Canadian, this could have been taken from This Hour Has 22 Minutes, or maybe Because News.  If it was British, this seems like something from 8 Out of Ten Cats, which has teams.

Jon Delfin <jond...@gmail.com>: Nov 19 03:30PM -0500 it does sound like the 8 Out of 10 set and setup, but they haven't put out a new episode since January 2021   On Sun, Nov 19, 2023 at 3:12 PM 'David Bruggeman' via TVorNotTV <

Adam Bowie <ad...@adambowie.co.uk>: Nov 19 09:25PM I'd also point out that nobody in the UK would have a clue that Brie Larson is a spokesperson for Nissan, because her ads for the carmaker don't air here.

Doug Eastick <eas...@eastick.ca>: Nov 19 05:25PM -0500 Canadians don't have accents. 😀       /Doug eas...@mcd.on.ca

Tom Wolper <two...@gmail.com>: Nov 19 10:41PM -0500 Québécois do.

Jon Delfin <jond...@gmail.com>: Nov 19 11:05PM -0500 they spell that "deux"

"Kevin M." <drunkba...@gmail.com>: Nov 19 08:07PM -0800 Has anyone but me noticed that public radio announcers, reporters, etc only have accents when they pronounce their own names? It’s comically odd.

Jim Ellwanger <trai...@ellwanger.tv>: Nov 19 08:13PM -0800 I thought the trope was that they suddenly have an accent whenever they say any foreign place name or word.     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWMp_z7Jnxw Enchilada - Saturday Night Live youtube.com

"Kevin M." <drunkba...@gmail.com>: Nov 19 08:16PM -0800 I can’t speak to an SNL sketch, but it does remind me of Miranda De La Cruz De La Jolla, the reporter on Married With Children

Bob Dylan supports Jann Wenner

Bob Jersey <bobj...@ptd.net>: Nov 19 08:13AM -0800 The eightysomething star, at a Beacon Theater (NY) concert Thursday (Nov 16th), spotted the *Rolling Stone *founder in the audience, and called for his reinstatement to the RRHOF Foundation board (he was dropped after the comments he made to David Marchese of the NY Times back in September <https://groups.google.com/g/tvornottv/c/URc9FTIIxMo/m/W_1AlVmrGAAJ> [our thread])... https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/bob-dylan-support-jann-wenner-reinstatement-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-foundation-1235486018/#recipient_hashed=fa7e92da6f6e66bffcf0bcbf863670c6eb37d7159eb4d0ea1e44fecd5ec87eeb&recipient_salt=3a1d6b09af3b92ad7e38f8327cf18febeb049fd1c9a251b66957a07d9375735c (link) B

"Kevin M." <drunkba...@gmail.com>: Nov 19 10:28AM -0800 Part of me wants Dylan to be gaslighting.   On Sun, Nov 19, 2023 at 8:13 AM 'Bob Jersey' via TVorNotTV <

PGage <pga...@gmail.com>: Nov 19 02:02PM -0800 This is a little like a headline that says:   “Powerful white man cancelled for saying only blonde white women can be beautiful is defended by 80 yo blonde white woman.”   Sent from Gmail Mobile     On Sun, 19 Nov 2023 at 8:13 AM 'Bob Jersey' via TVorNotTV <

Tom Wolper <two...@gmail.com>: Nov 19 10:40PM -0500 Dylan has reached the point in his life and his career where he knows he will suffer no consequences for anything he says. If you decide to take him literally that’s on you. I don’t think he cares about Wenner or how his remarks will be received. It’s just provocation for his own amusement.

Despite Disinterest, Golden Globes Are on CBS

Bob Jersey <bobj...@ptd.net>: Nov 19 10:04AM -0800 Oh BTW, tomorrow (Nov 20th) she'll reportedly be in Rio making up a show postponed due to a killer heat wave, and won't be in KC to cheer on Travis and the Chiefs... B   Mark Jeffries, Nov 18th:   The who-cares award show will air live on Jan. 7 at 8 p.m. ET coming out of an NFL doubleheader (but it's the final week of the regular season and there will be Sunday Night Football--no times yet for the games, *but the NFL could put the Kansas City game in prime time so the Swifties can watch Tay-Tay watching the game*), streaming on Paramount+, but as I said at the top of this post...

A former sideline reporter stunningly admitted that she made things up - Poynter

Bob Jersey <bobj...@ptd.net>: Nov 19 08:59AM -0800 Without actually listening for "Big Cat" Katz and "PFT Commenter" Sollenberger's reaction, which I won't do given my general disgust for Barstool, I am just guessing what kind of tone was set by what she said. B   PGage, to moi, Nov 17th:   Yeah, no. I’m not with Jimmy or you Bob on this. I’m not going to defend every horrible thing some Twitter monster may have said about her, but this does require some sort of strong response.   If instead of the double talk clarification she did give, she comes out and says that during one season when she was just starting doing low profile games with an asshole head coach she felt pressured to make up quotes to keep her bosses happy, but has never since, and never would think of doing it again, then maybe some sort of stern rebuke serving as a warning from Fox/Amazon would suffice. But her original tone was breezy and dismissive, as if it were no big deal. It is a big deal - or, it it is not a big deal then everyone just admit that it’s all bullshit and TV sports broadcasters just make shit up to cover for how stupid or toxic coaches, players, and owners are.
