Is that a donut I see before me?
Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone! It's been a weird weekend for me with just son and I here since daughter's graduation was yesterday (due to health issues I couldn't go, but they did livestream it which was cool so I got to watch it). Son was awesome and got enough donuts to snack on yesterday and have for breakfast today so I am quite content on that front.
TV season is coming to an end and shows are getting cancelled (or renewed in a few cases) right and left. L&O:SVU is getting a 20th season, NCIS a 16th and SPN a 14th. I'm beginning to wonder if they will ever go off the air. SPN outlived the network it started on, NCIS has surpassed the show it spun off from by a lot (JAG lasted an impressive 10 yrs, ABC must be kicking itself for cancelling it after its first) and L&O:SVU will tie its mothership (and Gunsmoke) for longest running scripted primetime shows.
I don't watch it, but I'm happy for the B99 fans who saw their show cancelled and then get picked up by another network.
Lucifer, unfortunately has been cancelled :( I'll admit this season has been all over the place, but still. I'm sad to see it go, especially since tptb have apologized for ending on a major cliffhanger so Monday's episode will probably be frustrating on that front. There's been no word on Timeless but this season was beyond uneven, so I can't say I'd be too upset if it doesn't return. Lethal Weapon however.... starting a week or two ago there was suddenly rumors and 'reports' and whatnot from 'sources' swirling about first suggesting saying Clayne Crawford (Riggs) was unprofessional on set, then that he has been fired and that, if LW was renewed, the role would be recast but tptb, Fox and Warner Brothers haven't said a thing and 95% of the cast has come out in support of him (with only Daymond Wayans the notable exception). Crawford's the only one whose gone on record about the supposed incidents the articles mentioned and it's hard to see how what he's said happened relates to what the media claims but with no one else talking... It's weird. The fan backlash over the recast was huge and immediate. Then Wayans suddenly did a 180 yesterday and claimed his social media got hacked and he'd never have said anything that got posted there which, frankly, is a claim I find hard to believe (social media hacks can happen but they're usually *really* obvious). No idea what is going on bts on that show, but it's a mess and it just makes me sad. The show, of course, ended on a huge cliffhanger. *sighs*
My NPT assignment is fighting me some. Ugh, why is writing so hard?
I've been sort of ignoring organizing my last group of links because there was no real cohesive theme to group them into but I need to just bite the bullet and get them posted so hopefully they'll be some use to someone so be on the lookout for those within the next week or so. (Also, as an FYI a lot of links have been added to previous posts as I came across them.)
Anyway, happy Sunday/holiday that lacks a following half-off-candy-day to anyone who celebrates it. If you do, I hope you got donuts and if you don't, I suggest you use my birthday as an excuse to go get yourself some donuts because donuts are awesome.
