What did you do tonight instead of watch A$$ Holes speech ??? We watched Grimm for the 9th time

Grimm was on NBC. We would say ..... Thank Grimm, its Friday. It is Now shown on Comet. We have Roku and get free channels.
Nick is a Portland Oregon cop .... The tv show was even shot in Portland Oregon. Nick and his friends go after bad Wesen.

Well that is what we watched anyway .....

I just finished Grimm and I’d say the level of gore is about equal. The “monsters” are regular people who suffer from “the troubles.” As with Grimm, the main protagonists attempt to help the nice troubled people and protect the world from bad troubled people. Two very hot leading men, one very hot leading woman. It’s one of my comfort-food watches for when the world gets to be too much.

There were two possible outcomes for me.
And one impossible one, but intriguing.

1. Declares war (illegally, of course) or
2. Just yells at clouds (or Biden) ✅
3. He goes completely off the rails and defends how he and Epstein "saved the world" (but Joe ruined it, of course)

Since I am graphics-intense here on the computer, replies take a bit longer than just typing, so I used the time to post "insightful" comments and pix.

Roku has a channel for that show. One episode featured Edith on jury duty for a murder case.

Meathead (Rob Reiner) gave the liberal/progressive ideas a good workout, and spoiler alert: Edith was proven right as the lone holdout for acquittal.

Thank you, Norman Lear.

It was our Luminaries night. I live in a development in Durham, NC which buys luminaries from the Triangle Ronald McDonald House and puts them out one night in December. There are about 160 houses and all the streets were lined with luminaries. We raised $4,000. for the Ronald McDonald houses in the Triangle this year

hosted by a Gen-Z music producer. He's been doing this awhile so is not the stereotype many Boomers, Millenials, and even Gen-Xers might expect, but the audience comment board does go to town to educate him on the songs/performers. Boy, has he come to recognize the intense limitations of today's music and performances in comparison.

Any rate, it was a nostalgic turn and far more enjoyable than the "bloated orange menace' speech.

46. I continued watching The West Wing, amazed at how much story credit Lawrence O'Donnell gets in the first three seasons.
Thu Dec 18, 2025, 10:43 AM
Dec 18

In one episode, President Bartlett (Martin Sheen) has a flashback about a conversation between his younger self and his father, played by a younger Lawrence O'Donnell (Jed Bartlett, Sr). Over a moral point, the father smacks Jed upside for his failure to do the right thing. It was weirdly cool and shocking to see LOD as a character who'd even do that.


Netflix has recently added all seven seasons, and I highly recommend another look at how the president, chief of staff and communications wing of the WH, can work for the good of The People. Its multiple plots, character growth, humor and wit remind us that we must fight to GOTV and return wise and moral people to The People's house.

so we didn't accidentally see a second of Metamucilini and his ravings. Then I turned on 911 Lone Star, my husband watched an episode of NOVA, and my daughter went into her bedroom and watched Love Island.

I have MSNOW on most of the day while we're doing daily stuff, and i really need "mind candy" at night to decompress. Medical shows work for me, like the 911s and The Pitt.
