DWTS Season 24

I thought I was done for the season but I watched, sort of, the first hour. I think this contest is over. Normani crushed it, and a tip of the hat to Val for some Derek quality choreograph. That might have been the best dance not involving Derek that I've seen. (Admittedly I miss a lot).

And then there was Bonner. A tip of the Cowboy Hat to that Dude. That was possibly the worst Tango I've ever seen on the show. I didn't realize you could make the tango boring, but golly geewillikers, he did it! I loved Len's reaction, I swear I heard them bleep Len at one point while he was ripping into the poor guy.

I didn't stick around for the end, who got eliminated? I'm almost hoping Bonner stuck just to watch Len blow another gasket next week.

Plus the baseball player is White. Some star, I never heard of him before. Of course it only took me 12 years to discover that the Milwaukee Brewers moved from the American League to the National League, so I'm not exactly on top of MLB anymore.

Simone is too short and stubby and too young to win. Rashad is too tall. Normani in a runaway.

I have an idea for the next series. You take all of the worst dancers they've ever had on the show and bring them together for the Mother of All Trainwrecks. Your Nancy Grace's and that awful Reality Mom with the 10 kids and Michael Bolton. That would be awesome.

Hi, Ache
One of my favorite actors has left the building

Michael Parks, character actor, Tarantino favorite
Herald Staff Sunday, May 14, 2017

NEW YORK — Michael Parks, a prolific character actor who found early fame in 1960s countercultural roles and later became a favorite of directors including Quentin Tarantino and Kevin Smith, has died. He was 77.
He died Tuesday in Los Angeles, his agent, Jane Schulman, said. No cause of death was announced.

In a career that spanned six decades, Mr. Parks acted in more than 100 films and TV shows. Many of his early starring roles were in anti-establishment 1960s-era films such as “Wild Seed,” “The Happening,” with Anthony Quinn, and “Bus Riley’s Back in Town,” alongside Ann-Margret.
Mr. Parks also starred as a disillusioned, motorcycle-riding newsman in the 1969 series “Then Came Bronson.” For the series, Mr. Parks, who recorded a number of albums throughout his career, sang the popular closing theme song, “Long Lonesome Highway.”
He played the Canadian drug runner Jean Renault on David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks.”
Mr. Parks found perhaps his most famous parts in the 1990s thanks to the interest of Tarantino, Smith and Robert Rodriguez, the often connected independent filmmakers. Each turned to Mr. Parks again and again for meaty supporting roles. Tarantino cast him in multiple roles in both parts of “Kill Bill” and his “Death Proof” half of 2007’s “Grindhouse.”
Sometimes, the characters followed Mr. Parks from filmmaker to filmmaker. He played Texas Ranger Earl McGraw in Rodriguez’s “From Dusk Till Dawn,” a role he reprised in “Kill Bill” and “Grindhouse.” His actor son, James Parks, often joined him, playing McGraw’s son Edgar.

Smith gave Mr. Parks the largest roles of the trio, including his 2014 film “Tusk,” which paired him with Johnny Depp, and 2011’s “Red State,” as a preacher. Smith called him “my cinematic muse.”
“Michael was, and will likely forever remain, the best actor I’ve ever known,” Smith wrote on Instagram. “I wrote both ‘Red State’ and ‘Tusk’ for Parks, I loved his acting so much. He was hands-down the most incredible thespian I ever had the pleasure to watch perform. And Parks brought out the absolute best in me every time he got near my set.”
Mr. Parks was briefly married while 16 years old to Louise Johnson, with whom he had a daughter. He is survived by his wife, Oriana Parks, whom he married in 1997, and his son. — associated press

That was a surprise!  

I guess the baseball guy has a lot of fans.

#1 Normani  #2 Rashad  #3 The Baseball Guy

Anything else would surprise me.

Well, Normani was the leader going in, and she danced beautifully last night. Good enough to win IMO; she absolutely deserves the Mirror Ball

But I dont know

I think maybe Rashad seized the moment with a more memorable free style, and that performance might be just enough to snatch the MBT away from Normani

We'll see

I'll be happy either way though. Theyre both worthy. As long as baseball guy doesnt win, I'll be good with the result

Coffee does that.

No, I missed the Short Shorts finale. The Celtics were playing. And the Penguins/Senators. They drag the end out way too long on DWTS.

For the record:

If the loathsome Kathy Griffin somehow ends up on DWTS this fall either because she was invited to participate or because she begged to be on (to help rehab her image/save her failing career from tanking even further), I will boycott Season 25

Just sayin'

Here is another one: Sunday Night With Megyn Kelly
06-04-2017 PM on NBC, 1 hr

She thinks she can compete with 60 Minutes?

LOL, LOL, LOL 

www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/la-et-st-sundays-with-megyn-kelly-review-20170604-story.html

It must be on a cable channel? I couldn't find it.

I can't stand her either

PS: Some people that don't like President Trump are really nuts.  I listen to them on talk radio every night. They just won't give him a chance.

NBC Channel 7, I know. But, when I tuned in to Channel 7 all I saw was the news and a game show 7p-8p

I had planned to watch out of curiosity.

This has happened before, something different on that channel than what's listed in the TV Guide.

No, I didn't know that, that explains a lot. I was wondering where a lot of programs went, lol

Ps: Odd, I have Channel 7 WHDH and the news is on now.   But I can't find any other Channel 7, I did a channel scan,  I have all the over the air rerun channels.      I'll figure it out        There must be an explanation.   Maybe I need a stronger antenna?   Sometimes I think it's a conspiracy to get people to pay for cable. 

"Any luck finding the local NBC affiliate yet, Robin?"

Nope, I can't pick it up, maybe I have too many trees in the way? Yeah, I hardly miss it, sometimes on Friday evenings I would tune in to watch Dateline, that's about it.

Megyn K looks so angry, I could probably find her show on the internet, but I'm not interested enough to search.

I binged watched Orange is the New Black, season 5, last weekend, excellent.

Now I will move on to House of Cards, latest season, I love Kevin Spacey.

Netflix is cool.
