2) Knight Rider: The series comes out on 4K disc this Tuesday, which once again proves my theory: Videophiles love David Hasselhoff.
3) Peacock: You know, it takes a lot of brass to announce a huge price hike (3 bucks a month!) right after you get rid of Murder, She Wrote. I can only assume this increase is going to help cover the cost of remastering Quincy.
4) Harrison Ford: The 83-year-old icon got his first Emmy nomination this week for his work on Shrinking. It's about time considering he was SNUBBED for his role as a drifter on Dan August over 50 years ago.
5) Six Million Dollar Man: Steve Austin was off streaming for a while, and now Roku has picked up the show to join Peacock. Well, Peacock has it for now.
6) Fantasy Island: Tubi picked up the show again, long after I complained that it left, but there's a catch: It only has the first two seasons. Wow, unforeseen consequences of getting what you want? That reminds me of an old show, but I can't place my finger on it.
7) Wide World of Sports: 40 years ago today in London, Mary Decker Slaney squared off against Zola Budd in a rematch of their infamous 1984 Olympics clash. Decker won by a considerable margin in this one.
8) National Ice Cream Day: What are you going with? I could go for a good chocolate chip mint right now.
9) Poker Face: I just want to reflect on another season of the best non-Columbo Columbo show ever, and I think Natasha Lyonne's Peter Falk is almost as good, in its own way, as Kevin Pollak's.
10) The Smurfs: A new big-screen version of the characters Smurfs this weekend. If you can take the animation style and John Goodman as Papa Smurf, I hear this isn't bad for what it is. Me, I ride with Don Messick.
