Whatcha watching?

@Tom Bomb, I had seen the movie first (Ghost and Mrs. Muir made in 1947) and was excited when the series came out and enjoyed it. Had to look up the series premiere date (1968), which made me about 11. I still watch the movie when it comes on.

In other news, season 4 of "Miracle Workers" will start 10 July '23 on cable TV station TBS, for those interested. Anthology comedy with Daniel Radcliffe and Steve Buscemi. Each season takes place in a different time period. Modern times, Dark ages, and America's wild west along the Oregon Trail have been covered. Season 4 is in a post-nuclear apocalyptic time. I think a certain type sense of humor is required. It seems I have it LOL. Always thought Buscemi was brilliant in any role, serious or funny. Radcliffe picks some cool (IMO) roles. Gone are those Hogwarts days LOL.

We shared the movie details, a little while ago, after I posted my inclination. I remember:) Great stuff. This series was pretty special for me, growing up. Hit me in a decidedly sweet spot as I love the ocean. I just loved it, everything about it. Still do:) It's a genuine buzz to be able to see it again, this time with older eyes. Good for a laugh.

I looked that up, and apparently it (and The Running Man by default) were based on a short story called The Prize of Peril written by Robert Sheckley in 1958.

Speaking of running men, there was another movie called The Running Man, a 1963 British-American noir. I've seen as a kid around 10 y.o. and it made a great impression on me. Watched it again as an adult and wasn't disappointed.
Also there was some kind of conspiracy theory connecting this movie to JFK murder, cause it was released in 1963 and included actors named Lee and Harvey.

We've watched every season of "Miracle Workers" and it's great. The sense of humor is demented at times which is why we like it.

Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets winning the NBA Finals last night.

In a league full of elite athleticism, a guy with no muscle tone who, as someone put it, "can't jump over the curb," is tearing up the NBA. If the rest of the league is going to keep up with Jokic, they'd better spend less time in the weight room and more time honing their basketball skills.
