Gotham returns.
Jan. 7th, 2015 05:03 amSo Gotham returned on Monday. I had to wait until Tuesday to see it; Monday was hectic.
Thoughts:
( Spoilers! )
Also, one last thought. The next episode is in two weeks?! WTH?! They come off of hiatus and then immediately have another break? That is LAME.
But OHMYGOSHSQUEE we have a THIS TV affiliate again! We had to lose our local weather channel to get it, and I'll miss the fun jazz music they played, but oh yes, we can finally watch Highway Patrol and Sea Hunt on TV again! The channel showed up on New Year's Day and I was absolutely thrilled. I've been trying to catch the shows each chance I get. It feels so good to see them again!
I just hope it will last. I'm a little surprised that this particular network picked it up after the last THIS TV affiliate died because of My Network TV (boo!). The new network is one of the more conservative networks in the area, and THIS TV's lineup of movies is often ... not that great. The best programming they have are the old TV shows I'm so stoked to have back. I wish they'd bring back some of the other oldies shows they used to have, like Bat Masterson. And they used to show more old movies than they do now; it seems like their selection is getting more recent all the time.
And honestly? Next week THIS TV is going to air The Hunting Party. The movie sounds absolutely awful (wife has an abusive, mean husband, she gets kidnapped by illiterate crooks and raped, yet she ends up deciding the main crook and rapist is a much nicer man than her husband. Honestly? Both men sound absolutely as lame as you can get). But ... I've always wanted to see just the scenes with Simon Oakland. From what I've read, he's pretty much the only decent character in the whole film. If I record the film, I could easily fast-forward and only stop at Simon's scenes. I could even erase the abominable film after I watch those. (Unless I can't bear to do that because of Simon being awesome.)
I really have no other immediate access to this movie unless I buy it (and I don't know that I want to spend money on it) or get it off Netflix, which I do not want to do because there would be uncomfortable questions. But recording it could cause that as well, as it airs during the time when news is on and if I have to ask Dad to watch the other TV for news, both he and Mom will wonder what I'm doing. (And Mom might hope I'm getting CHiPs and I'd hate to disappoint her. I'd probably also feel guilty that I wouldn't be using the time to get CHiPs.)
THIS TV often airs things repeatedly. I'm hoping to check the schedule and see if any other airings are coming up at better times. But if not, I'm left with the dilemma of should I pick it up or shouldn't I. And how would I explain doing so if I do.
