For the historical record: David H. Souter, former Supreme Court justice. WP (archived).
James Foley, director. The Saturday Movie Group has seen “Glengarry Glen Ross” and I thought it was pretty good. Other credits include “At Close Range” and “After Dark, My Sweet”.
“Rescue: HI-Surf”, the lifeguard series on one of the broadcast networks. I never saw an episode, just promos. But it looked a lot like a version of “Baywatch” that took itself way too seriously.
Also among the dead: “Lopez vs. Lopez” and “Night Court”. I greatly admire John Larroquette. But I also greatly admired Harry Anderson, and I just couldn’t see watching a “Night Court” without him.
“The Real Housewives New York City”. Between Pope Leo XIV and this being cancelled, I think it’s been a good week.
I have actually been watching “Rescue: Hi Surf” since it came out. I wanted to ignore it because there was already a “Baywatch”, buy gave it a chance and dang it I liked it. There is probably more Hawaii in it than other Hawaii focused shows and I thought the little B-roll sprinkles were nice. It took itself more seriously than “Baywatch”, but not terribly so.
Just a quick note, Chet Lemon, former Detroit Tigers centerfielder has passed away at the age of 70. I didn’t get the chance to follow the link, but a picture of him at some type of awards event at the Tigers home field, Comerica Park showed him in a wheelchair.
Have a great week and be well.
