The Front Porch / Re: What are we watching these...

Quote from: Sem on March 21, 2024, 02:38:27 PMLast night I was looking for something really light to watch. Bingo! I stumbled on The Detectorists, a mildly funny, quirky British comedy about... "the lives of two eccentric metal detectorists, who spend their days plodding along ploughed tracks and open fields, hoping to disturb the tedium by unearthing the fortune of a lifetime."

Exactly the type of show that would never even be considered for a run on US TV, which is perfect for me and right up my alley. Pluto, Tubi, and Freevee have all the first 3 seasons available.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4082744/

And just like that I've watched all three seasons. What a delightful series! Unlikely anyone here would watch this comedy, but I would still recommend it. There's no action, car chases, violence, nudity, or sex. In fact there's very few laughs, but there are a lot of smiles. A gentle comedy. The show also doesn't have a laugh track, which I think is a bonus. A great show if you want to take a step back, relax, and reset.

*Oh, and Diana Rigg (Emma Peel - The Avengers), is in it, in one of her final appearances before she passed away. Her real life daughter, Rachael Stirling, plays Rigg's daughter in the show.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on March 28, 2024, 06:48:03 PMI agree. Which is why it's perplexing to me that some fans feel they still haven't yet seen enough of Daniel Jones (1900 NFL passing attempts) to make a concrete evaluation of him.

I think it has something to do with the fact that he never had a minimally adequate O-line to play behind and barely mediocre receivers to throw to.

Oh my God!!! I need to take extra blood pressure meds after all that!!!

Tell me you wouldn't want to see Trocheck score the winning shootout goal in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final which gives the Rangers the Cup after 30 years.

Tonight's game did not disappoint all the buildup and excitement coming into it. Seeing Ironman Lindgren back in there again was inspirational. Also, his timing was perfect with three defenders getting whacked and missing time tonight. In spite of that, they shut down MacKinnon completely and ended his consecutive point streak. That was no small accomplishment and should be lauded for allowing only two for the entire game.

Both Igor and Giorgiev were great in goal tonight. This was the fourth consecutive game these teams settled matters in either overtime or shootout.

You know Carolina, who blanked Detroit 4-0 tonight, is shaking their head after looking at this result. Same goes with Boston while Florida dropped their game to the Islanders.

What an impressive performance tonight by Laviolette's boys. But here's the reality. They're headed my way now to a team that's not making the playoffs for like the eighth year in a row, is playing its young players who are carefree right now. But they are playing their best hockey all season as well. The Rangers are going to find themselves in a dogfight if they don't get on top of them early and often. Just your regular trap game ready to trip them up if they're not ready.

But for tonight, it was a classy win against a classy opponent. I truly hope these two meet again in the Stanley Cup Final down the road. Every time they play, their talent and skill make for a great game which never disappoints.

Peace!

Another great win for the Rangers.  An awesome regular season continues but it's Stanley Cup or bust at this point.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on March 28, 2024, 06:35:21 PMYeah I didn't understand either. Is this to play 10 games against him? Who are the 10 games again?

Sorry - I missed this story. I don't know anything about this. OP, can you please give some more detail?

He has a 3 on 3 league so the games would be in that framework. His league doesn't conflict with the WNBA so she can have her cake and at it too.

Michael Pratt is getting a lot of praise, low risk, perhaps high reward.

There is a pretty solid chance he will get a chance to prove himself on the field.

McCarthy, but I think the real big four is Williams, Daniels, McCarthy and Nix. Maye has serious flaws that are going to take a while to fix. He's much closer to Baker Mayfield than he is to CJ Stroud.
