I've seen exactly one person wearing a Talarico shirt in public. He was in a wheelchair in the Marble Falls HEB last week. Talarico has been running bait-n-switch TV ads almost non-stop trying to make him sound like a moderate.

Paxton in a landslide.

And because my wife watches it:

My wife's watches all the CBS shows as much as she watches the Hallmark Channel. All the NCIS's, Magnum, etc. She's also seen every episode of The Rookie, but I'm not sure if that one is still running.

Speaking of Nathan Fillion, has anyone mentioned Castle?

Wait till she's about 9 months old and you have to change a diaper. It's like wrestling an alligator.

Our oldest is about to turn 4 in a couple of weeks and has never slept alone a single night in her life. We made the mistake of letting her sleep with us because we couldn't get her down in the crib.

Our 2nd is 11 months and far more independent. We can put her in her crib wide awake and she'll get bored playing with a toy, cry for maybe a couple minutes, and fall asleep.

Maybe try that route. Don't wait until she's asleep to put her in.

This show is bad arse

I need to give it a try. One of my clients works on almost all of Sheridan's shows that film in north Texas. They have wrap parties at a cigar bar he owns or out at his ranch. This one is his favorite, but I've only watched Landman.

Comedy would probably be How I Met Your Mother (208 episodes over 9 seasons)

I forgot about this one because I despise the ending. It ruined the entire show for me. I can't even watch older episodes that I liked because it's all pointless.

Another one for me is House, MD. 8 seasons, 177 episodes
Several already mentioned like Friends, Scrubs, and Psych, but i haven't seen these mentioned yet:

Family Guy - 24 seasons, 461 episodes
Monk - 8 seasons, 125 episodes
Brooklyn 99 - 8 seasons, 153 episodes

White Collar was only 6 seasons and 81 episodes. It seemed like that one had a longer run.

Saul's pride and ego vs David's humble trust in God

According to the men who wrote it down. We do not know Saul's mental, emotional, nor spiritual state. David wrote his memoirs. So did Samuel. David fought against Saul. Samuel gave specific orders "from God" and then was late to his own party. Where the hell was Samuel when Saul was making his supposed prideful, egotistical decisions? He was nowhere to be found. Nada. Zilch. Zero. Oh, he shows up right when Saul makes the choice that condemns him? Well, would you look at that? Perfect timing to make someone a villain.

And as for David. Infidelity. Murder. Bastard child. Illegal census leading to the deaths of tens of thousands. Yeah, the guy is a masterpiece showcase of humble trust in God. Entitled douche bag that got a slap on the wrist for more egregious sins than Saul got condemned for.
quote:

I don’t see why that is striking. God‘s grace is bottomless if someone were to truly repent from the most horrible lives at the moment of their death they’re saved.

I've always seen King Saul as a complicated man that made tough decisions only to be cast aside and written off. We have no account of his, only those that opposed him. Who wouldn't come off as haughty and wrong if your life story was written by those who were your enemies.

I wish they would do something on Spam/Robo Calls.

I must get like 10-20 a day with loan options.

My contact information is public record as a contractor. I get 10-20 an hour. Even with spamblocker turned on for calls and voicemail, a bunch still get through. I have to empty my voicemail inbox at least once a day. It legitimately affects my business when a real client can't call or leave a message.

People in that business need to be hung.

I still think Tom Sizemore outshined everyone in the movie.

I'd say the same about Black Hawk Down

any fans of ladder 49?

First major movie about firefighting that came out after 9/11. They made a concerted effort to make it accurate but it's still Hollywood. Good story.

NatGeo had shark week all last week. Was that from a previous season?

Shark Week is on Discovery, not Nat Geo.

Is it still full of ridiculous lies?

I'm no shark expert, so I can't speak to the accuracy of what's presented, but the fake "dialogue" between divers that have regulators in their mouths is what drives me nuts. At least they've switched to full masks the past couple years.

Asian ratings.

Isn't that show pretty popular here, as well?

Either way, I think it's been pretty funny. Got it on until I flip over to HotD

No, he didn't. frick that guy.
There's a backdraft thread from yesterday where I mentioned it's a must-watch in the fire service, but it's also highly inaccurate. All of the TV dramas are absolute BS. If they accurately portrayed daily shifts as a firefighter, it would be 90% medical calls and MVAs where we're just directing traffic or cleaning up the mess. Random stations even in big cities don't have butt puckering calls every shift.

Ladder 49 is decent. Rescue Me is a good show for how brutally we'll talk to each other. Tacoma FD is more accurate than you'd like to think for the guys you pay taxes to protect you and your family :lol:

Only the Brave is an incredible true story with a few liberties in the storytelling. I've done a case study on the Yarnell fire for wildland firefighting course work. The movie doesn't show some of the things that contributed to what happened, but there are numerous scenes where not only the dialogue but even the tone, inflection, the cracking of a voice over the radio.... They nailed that. Some of the radio traffic is public and you can find it on YT. The scene where they're jamming out on the way to a fire is :dude: We had a fire entering a high-end neighborhood that was around 1,000 acres at the time. We were just like that en route to that one. Wildland-Urban interface is frickin go time.

Emergency medicine isn't much different. Scrubs is fantastic for showing the levity it takes to stay sane. The Pitt is fantastic for showing how most staffs are juggling multiple patients with varying circumstances and still dealing with your personal shite.
