1. More television shows... Entertainment Weekly aka EW online does their breakdown of fifty-six shows returning or new this year

[And folks on FB love Manifest's ending. I don't know, I gave up during the second season - anyone think I should go back to it?]

[And regarding Dancing with the Stars? Guess who two of the contestants are? Allyson Hannigan (Willow from Buffy, and well How I Met Your Mother) and Miro Sorvino. I did a double take regarding Hannigan.)

Here's the one's I'm checking out on the list (there's no way I'm looking at all 56, and honestly, most of them are reality shows, or cop procedurals, which bore me.)
( not that many - because seriously, no time )

2. Television this weekend...

* Next in Fashion on Netflix, Season 1. Kind of a professional version of Project Runway, except more along the lines of Great British Bake Off (let's everyone hug) and less (the Apprentice - everyone is an asshole). These aren't amateurs, these are professionals - on a global level. And the contestants are from around the world. So the fashion is well sewn and not clunky, with professional runway models, and an actual audience. I don't like a lot of it - but I'm a pragmatist when it comes to clothes - it has to be comfortable, and be flattering. Most fashion is neither for me - and only for people who are shaped like fashion models - or clothes hangers.

The winners of the challenge for streetwear - were for well...this:

And just no. Not my cup of tea.

This episode had a ton of unnecessarily drama because the judges couldn't make up their mind over which designers should go home. When it was kind of obvious. And clearly just a contrived excuse to keep everyone around for the next challenge.

But it's fun to watch while doing something else.

However, they provided some good advice - which is - you only need one yes. So don't let the rejection and the no's kill you. And it's very subjective.

* Foundation on Apple TV - I decided to go back to it, after I slept through the first two episodes last year. It's better. And it gets progressively better as we go. Apparently S2 is really good. Also, I like Lee Pace.

It's adapted from Issac Asimov's Foundation series, which I've never read.
So no clue how close to the original it is. I'm on episode five now.
And the Clone's are kind of interesting - in how each is their own individual. Pace is in a way playing various versions of the same character, as is Terence Mann.

Also the protagonist is interesting - Salvor, who is dealing with the Terminus and weird statue.

* Good Omens S2 - I'm kind of stretching it out. I'm on the fifth episode? There's about eight, I think? It's on Prime. The plot is goofy, but the characters are fun, as is the world-building. I'm not sure Gaiman's plots ever work well, I'm always handwaving them for characters.

3. Stop Making Sense by the Talking Heads - is coming back again for the reunion of the Band, 40 years later
