It’s Sunday night in January 2000. THE SOPRANOS has just kicked off its second season. Here’s what you’d see just before and after episodes (including details of the new Sopranos website) youtu.be/uzI0bViVi30?...

CA isn’t even in the top 5 for biggest price hike, and given its pre-war price, its percentage increase likely isn’t top 10. But CBS News tonight made its story on surging gas prices (with cameo from @gasbuddyguy.bsky.social) all about…Dem-run CBS.

Zero mention of Trump.

Just watched the finale. Brilliant from start to finish, and so, so, so, SO much better than any season we’ve seen from Peacock’s Traitors. It’s like the difference between Arby’s and Peter Luger.

All things considered, you're correct.

So pretty much everyone

It’s been a crazy Oscar season (1986 edition)

Absolutely chilling story

The great Leonard Maltin named HEAVENLY BODIES one of the worst movies of 1985. With all due respect, I demand a recount. #FilmSky

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Meanwhile, on Thanksgiving Day 1985, Mr. Maltin offered viewers a helpful guide to spotting classic movie turkeys. Gonna need to get @willmckinley.bsky.social's two cents on this one.

The TV Time Machine just made a detour to 1985, where it uncovered two gems from Leonard Maltin. First up: His pick for the worst movies of the year. There's at least one Gen X classic on this list...

I don't know, folks. I just don't know.

This comes after there have been multiple reports for credible sources, and comments from US military analysts, saying that the US deliberately bombed what turned out to be a girls school, killing over 150 civilians and dozens of girls-- and the president blamed it on Iran.

Israel bombed the heck out of a neighborhood in Beirut, killing 41 people-- mostly civilians-- to try to get info on a solidier missing for 40 years.

Happy #GoldenSaturday to all who celebrate. From a 1986 episode of “Evening Magazine,” here’s a very cool set visit with the cast of THE GOLDEN GIRLS—the new TV show critics have dubbed “Miami Nice” youtu.be/_t0tTYN4SIs?...

Maybe Roku OS would be more doable? Don’t know anything about coding beyond literal 1980s BASIC, but it does seem Roku allows for a lot more apps to be built via its OS?

And the same folks who brought us MTV Rewin also have launched CARTOON REWIND, which features channels for Looney Tunes and five other major 80s/90s animated franchises. Very cool stuff.

Now all I need is an app built for TVs...

But it does mix in MTV promos and IDs, as well as classic ads. I just got one from the "Yo Quiero Taco Bell" era of Taco Bell.

ABC romantic sitcom "Anything But Love," starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Richard Lewis, debuted on this day in 1989. It ran for three seasons.
