THE TAXES! THE FINGER THING MEANS THE TAXES!

Over the last few months my partner and I watched the entirety of Baywatch on Hulu. It's a fascinating show. Season 1 is almost a completely different show from what it would become. My favorite episode is probably when three of the lifeguards f off to Mexico to reenact the plot of Three Amigos. Almost all of the characters are terrible people, with the exception of Newmie and Jason Momoa, who was about a billion times more charismatic than everyone else.

One of the greatest TV show intros of all time. The early seasons, anyway.

Some friends and I watched a ton of episodes on the Baywatch channel of Pluto TV. Bizarre show for sure. Multiple music montages every episode, retelling the Phantom of the Opera story, etc.

Have you watched the Baywatch Nights spin-off? Can probably still be found on YouTube.

Definitely another oddity, especially the second season. Hasselhoff, Baywatch’s police liaison, and Angie Harmon run a detective agency. The second season has them handling paranormal cases since X-Files was popular at the time.

The Baywatch theme is the best part of the show. The piano solo is so sick.

I tried watching some Baywatch Nights on Youtube but I only made it a couple episodes. I would totally watch a remastered version though. It was real strange when it would bleed over to regular Baywatch, like Mitch would show up smelling like garlic and vaguely allude to having been up all night hunting vampires.

I hate hate that on my Roku TV i have to exit back to the loving homescreen settings to toggle subtitles on Disney+ and HBO Max, then go back in. Especially since the stuff I watch on those are most likely to have the loud as hell action scene vs library quiet talking scene volume swing.

I watched Doctor Who from Eccleston to the middle if Capaldi's run before I realized it sucked. I have no excuse. It was the first British show I ever watched, so I guess I thought it was supposed to be lovely.

I’m a sucker for a scene of two men clasping hands as they flex their bis, and this one has an all time version of that scene.

This was the greatest stuff, double flex, slam to title screen 40 min in, hero friendship montage.

I got the cheapest Peacock with ads purely to watch Sunday Night Football. My wife also uses it to watch the Office for background noise on the days she works from home, so the ads don't bother her. I tried watching Nope and gave up and ended up just paying to rent it on Prime.

I've been watching lots of cartoons with my boys:

X-Men: The Animated Series is on Disney Plus, and sadly, it is very hard to watch. The animation is trash. This was a staple cartoon for me, so it was a real bummer because I was hype for my kids to watch it.

Batman: The Animated Series is on HBO Max, and it's really good! I think I like it even more now, and my kids are digging it. That Mr. Freeze origin episode, masterpiece.

I've also been getting sick of watching the same animated movies over and over, so I've been putting on stuff that I missed out on when they came out.

Treasure Planet was better than I thought it would be. Silver is an underrated Disney villain. The CGI is really lovely in parts, especially compared to . . .

Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron, on Netflix. I had zero desire to ever watch this movie, and it was unexpectedly very enjoyable. The CGI in this one was used really well, especially for the time it came out. My older son was enthralled, he was real worried when the horses fell in the rapids, on edge during the train crash sequence (which was incredibly well done), and let out a big cheer when Spirit made his huge jump. Strong recommend.

I'm disappointed that Titan AE isn't on any streaming services.

At this point, as long as it's scripted content I don't even care. My kid was watching some idiotic super Mario brothers cartoon from the 90s but it's a hell of a lot better than infinite amounts of Mario Lore via YouTube algorithms

The older content hits I've found so far are Darkwing Duck and Honey I've Shrunk the Kids

My kid is really into Buzz and Woody, after running through everything on Disney Plus a kajillion times, we've resorted to watching a supercut of all the Toy Story cutscenes from Kingdom Hearts 3 on YouTube.

Latest Rez Dogs was incredible. Now that I have kids, this hit me right in the chest. Devery Jacobs and Ethan Hawke both need Emmys for this. It would have been so easy to just write Elora's dad as some piece of poo poo guy. Instead, we got a real picture of a flawed man who knows he hosed up real bad, knows he can't ever make up for it, and is barely holding it together trying to do better with the kids he does have. I really felt for both him and Elora.

This was masterclass writing and acting. Just real humanity on screen. This season has been fantastic. Give this show all the awards, there's nothing better on TV this year.

It's an an early montage of the Turtles "getting groceries", i.e. jacking grocery stores and delivery trucks in a fun PG-13 way.

I found out in the credits that Trent Reznor did the score. It was good stuff.

Netflix crashes by far the most on my Roku TV. It also crashes the hardest, to where sometimes I have to unplug the whole thing and plug it back in. Max crashes the second most, and when it does it just kicks me back to the home screen.
