Heartland

Murdoch Mysteries

Laughs? For those shows

Lawd & Order SVU like season 5-9. Pure camp. I’m convince the writers had to be doing it purposely too. See the episode with Cynthia Nixon.

F Troop -- it's not bust-a-gut funny but its humor is derived from old-time comedy, much of it schticky. Larry Storch was a master of accents, and all the usual suspects show up as guest stars, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Paul Lynde, Julie Newmar, Harvey Korman, Vincent Price, et al. The Hakawi tribesmen are straight out of vaudeville and Milton Berle and Edward Everett Horton played in guest roles.

Good? No, but weirdly enjoyable.

Highway Patrol w/Broderick Crawford - 1956 thru 1959.

Sometimes I like to laugh at WHAT WOULD YOU DO?, the retirement sinecure of former reporter John Quiñones.

JOHN: "We're here in a diner in Nutley, New Jersey to see how customers will react when a server abuses a deaf, one-legged veteran of Hispanic descent..."

TERRIBLE ACTOR: "Hey, DEAF-O! Why don't you take your crip self and hop back to Mexico, muchacho?"

(cut to shocked faces)

JOHN: "What would YOU do?"

Castle. The frauest show ever.

I've been watching The Nanny with Fran Drescher and wondering how I missed it for all these years. Charles Shaughnessy is a fox.

Cold Case is a really good show! For cheesy, I recommend Rizzoli & Isles. It's the show I put on when I'm reading a book so it's not a distraction.

Tonight I watched CSI Origins and I liked it!

Bridgerton. A lot of people have put in a lot of work to make it lovely to look at, but there is no getting away from its romance novel origins. In every season the plot and all the subplots would have been resolved by Episode 2 or 3 if a large number of the key characters weren't apparently too stupid to live. Characters who are a bit more plugged in inexplicably fail to convey what they see to anyone who can act on it. If anyone IS about to confide a plot-resolving insight they will be interrupted (by someone who could easily be told to wait outside for five minutes). The girl who is supposed to be the nation's gossip queen is oblivious to anything that happens in the house she lives in.

It turns out the distinction between a romance novel and a French farce is purely one of tone; the bones are the same. If you shoot through the high emotional tone you can have a lot of fun.

"From", which I love shitposting through on DL.

I used to do the same with "Midnight, Texas" when it was on. Some of the biggest laughs I've ever had in my life. You know, the one with François Arnaud and Jason Lewis, where Arnaud was seemingly the only one in the cast who could act.

I watch cheesy documentaries. For example the Unxplained with William Shatner drolling on his miraculously preserved voice. Isn't he as old as the ancient mysteries explored? I love all those bourgeois/cheese BBC documentaries. They don't insult my intelligence nor do they require it and the hosts can be cheeky.

Ridiciulousness with Rob Dyrdek. Stupid people doing stupid things

America Ninja Warrior

Wipeout although I liked it better with John Henson and the other guy named John. The new hosts, John Cena and Nicole Byers, aren't nearly as good.

I like Cold Case a lot, mostly for the music and the final scenes with the victims seeing that they finally got justice. It could be quite moving.
