Tried to watch the new Macgyver (my hubs is a huge fan of the original) and I got about 5 minutes in before I couldn't watch any more.
Could they cast a more ugly actor for Macgyver? Let alone stupid things like revealing his first name straight away... It was a thing with the original that it took 2 years before the audience discovered his first name. Are the audience that dumb they have to write what Macgyver is using on the screen? Ugh... terrible!
The storyline was awful and the characterisation was really off. My hubs couldn't even watch the whole first episode.

Certainly proves the rule - if it ain't broke, don't fix it (even if you do have a paperclip and chewing gum).

Also watched the new Lethal Weapon show. Better than Macgyver but the guy who plays Riggs is terrible and definitely not a looker either. Strylines are better written and it has potential though...

Later tonight on SBS2 is a movie 'Journey to the West'. A different perspective to the tv series with the same title that aired many moons ago (aka Monkey Magic).

Enjoying Son of Zorn. Funny stuff.

Enjoying Son of Zorn. Funny stuff.

It's a bit like, what if He-Man was real, but from an animated universe, and had a family with a human female... and then how would those two "worlds" interact.
I got bored with it after the first episode though, as the concept was pretty much the same after that.

Anybody watching the first season of Luke Cage that came out over the weekend?

Entertaining, although falls a little short of the standard set by Daredevil I feel. Marvel's doing well with the Netflix series, if only they could write some decent villains other than those in Spiderman.

A repeat of the Toy Hunter tv show is on Channel 99, at 11.30pm on Wednesday. Not sure if it is just a space-filler episode, or a regular timeslot.
There ended up being 3 seasons of that show, of 41 episodes, and I think only season 1 ended up showing here on free-to-air.

There's also a William Shatner Roast on Thursday at 9.30pm on channel 9... which could be amusing... and most likely tasteless, but I've seen a fair bit of his works, so might find it funny when it gets referenced or roasted.

I was actually surprised that he is 85 years old. I was watching that "Better late than never" show last week, with four old "famous" people from TV and sport, travelling the globe, with the first episode being Tokyo... and one of them mentioned that he was 85. He certainly doesn't look 85, but I looked it up, and sure enough, he was born in 1931. (which I guess makes sense, as he was obviously in his 30s during the original Star Trek, and that was 50 years ago now)
This week (on Thursday at 8.30pm) they travel to Hong Kong, which is another location I'm familiar with, so it should be just as interesting, and amusing.
