The original Night Court not funny? That is ground for immediate disqualification. Night Court following Cheers made for the funniest hour of TV. 
Night Court took your typical mulitcamera sit com and turned it up to 11. 

Agree with this completely. I loved those too shows back to back. I don’t watch many sitcoms any more. The last one was The Good Place and my wife and I watched after it ended and streamed til.

The Good Place was a good show.
We also streamed The new Girl & How I met your mother.

both were a fun watch up until the last season.

Update: So far, I give The Last of Us a 9 out of 10. With episode 3 being one of the best episodes of TV I have ever watched in the past decade. Episode 5, comes very close to getting up there as well. 

I have been listening to the Last of Us podcast, which has Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, directors for the show, who go over the previous air episode. Listening to that just makes me happy because Neil is the person who made The Last of Us video game, and Craig is a huge fan of the game, but also made Chernobyl. The care they are taking with this show is just top notch. It is fascinating them talk about the distinction between a video game and a TV show in terms of creative decision for plot, writing, and character development.

Agreed 100% on Episode 3. I can not remember the last time I was moved to emotion by a television show!

As previously stated, I have been watching with my son who has played the game. We usually watch Monday afternoon when he get home from school. Having played the gam he has an idea what to expect.
I am the blurting out "there going to make it" or "everything is ok".

After the episode he will pull up specific scenes from the video game so I can compare. Amazing how close some of the show is to the source document, and on the flip side where they have gone away from the source material and how much it has worked!

I'm unsure where I rank Succession right now. I don't love it. I didn't really care about anyone on the show. So, that makes it tough for me…

“Ted Lasso” has been hiding one of our most beloved stories in plain sight for the entire series

Watched the whole season of Fallout. Loved it. It's got some warts but they absolutely nailed the feel of the universe. The best series I've watched since The Last of Us

Has anyone been watching Shogun? 

One more episode left, the last two in particular have been great.

I watched the 1980 mini-series starring Richard Chamberlain. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Despite some high points, Season 3 of 'The Bear' felt like a step sideways for the Hulu culinary dramedy — read our review, and grade it in our poll.

That almost perfectly says what I thought about season 3.

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
