    Enjoying Mystery Road, it's a decent Aussie detective series.

    2nd season was okay too, Sofia Helin didn't have much to work with but she is definitely better in her native language (and with better writing tbh)

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    WarnerMedia has announced that TBS’ Conan will conclude at the end of its 10th season in June 2021, marking the end of O’Brien’s 28-year stint in late-night television. He will continue to host his signature Conan Without Borders travel specials for TBS, and launch a new, weekly variety series for HBO Max.

    A man competing on the TBS game show Wipeout has died.

    E! News learned that on Thursday, Nov. 18, the person, whose identity has not yet been disclosed, required medical attention after completing one of the competition's notoriously difficult and physically demanding obstacle courses.

    After being treated by onsite medical personnel, the man was transported by paramedics to a nearby hospital, where he later died.

    Wipeout premiered in 2008 and ran on ABC through 2014. In April 2020, it was announced that TBS picked up a 20-episode revival of the game show. John Cena and Nicole Byer from Netflix's Nailed It signed on to co-host, while model Camille Costek was announced as a field correspondent.

    I watched it, skipping through. Just more interested in hearing them and seeing who they are than trying to guess.

    I watched the American version as well. As with all these shows "celebrity" is a broad term, though it seems it became popular enough for more recognisable names to appear.

    I know they got him from the US version to try and add comedy, but having Ken there is pointless, especially when he acts excited at who is revealed.

    I watched a few of the US episodes of The Masked Singer and it has got more good celeb singers as the series goes on but some of the guesses by the "judges" especially Dr. Ken are ridiculous, he is ott for the US show, he knows no one for the UK show :p

    What were the writers smoking when they thought of this? It's only a 15 minute movie anyway
    “Some folks take their secrets to the grave, but Colonel Sanders takes his to the deep fryer,” reads promo copy on the KFC Facebook page, while the “movie” poster (below) features the teaser line, “We All Have Our Secrets, His Just Happens to Be… A Recipe for Seduction.”

    The official synopsis on Lifetime’s website says, “As the holidays near, an heiress (played by Bosch alum Justene Alpert) contends with the affections of a suitor handpicked by her mother. When the handsome chef arrives with his secret recipe and a dream, he sets in motion a series of events that unravel the mother’s plans.”

    7 episodes into Undercover on Netflix.

    Really good show. Based in Netherlands so subtitled.

    2 undercover agents infiltrate a drug gang.

    Well worth a watch

    Brian Baumgartner from the Office made over $1m this year from Cameo videos making him the highest earner on that platform.

    He charges $195 a video.

    Can't wait. When it comes to foot in mouth type cringe comedy Mitchell is up there with Gevais and Coogan.

    And very unlikely they will in the near future do anything of the kind - pretty much all (if not all) their shows are American centric
    They've had a few good shows -Servant, See - a lot of the other stuff I wouldn't be interested in

    At least Netflix does invest heavily in local programming

    The proposal only seems to indicate that it must be produced in Europe using studios, actors etc from Europe

    Been in the making for 2 years but sounds like it's soon to be law

    Heads up to all you TV Addicts who believe they have amazing taste in TV Shows...

    Hosting a new game over in the Forum Games forum, all the details are in the first post, but the basic gist is you submit a TV Show via PM for each Category I've set, as do all the other players... I then go and watch the first 3 episodes of each show over the next month or two and rank them all against what everyone else has submitted awarding points along the way to determine an overall winner.

    You pick 'em, I judge 'em, winner gets bragging rights...

    Lots of fun if any of you want to join in and give the regular Forum Gamers a run for their money...
