TV Time - (but not Doctor Who!)

[BillFiler]

My eldest son and I are slowly getting through The Incredible Hulk series from the late 70s.
But we are now alternating with episodes of the Japanese Toei Spiderman series from the late 70s as well which he spent his pocket money on

It is… weird… Really weird!
And every single episode ends with a genetically engineered monster grows to super size, Spiderman calls his giant Transformer spaceship and throws a giant shining sword at the monster - roll credits.

We’ve got 38 episodes to go at least they are only 20 minutes a piece.

Fun fact, there was meant to be actual giant monster fights in each episode, but the suit for the spaceship got stolen pretty early on, so they had to just reuse that footage of him throwing the sword because that’s basically all the had of it

Just finished Sensitive Skin with Joanna Lumley. Hell of a show. I don’t know how to even describe it, but it was really enjoyable.

And imagine my surprise when I realized her neighbor in the second series was none other than Sara Kingdom!

Is that the footage they used to first create Power Rangers in the US? Looks and sounds the same, and I read that it was all re-used.

It’s Morphin’ Time!

It certainly has that feel and atmosphere about it

Worst part must be that the theme song is super catchy, but I don’t speak Japanese - so I just walk around whistling and randomly saying “Spider-Man!”.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow”

Rob & Romesh Vs… such a fun show the duo really work well together.

Have been watching Miriam Margoyles latest Australian series - she is such a brilliant woman.

Also finishing off Series 3 of Taskmaster New Zealand. The contestants are always great and Paul Williams (their equivalent of Alex) is lots of fun but I just don’t get their Taskmaster - he’s not a patch on Greg Davies and just never seems that invested in things.

Power Rangers actually borrows from and adapts a Japanese series much more similar to it in concept, one known as Super Sentai. It’s one of my partners’ special interests and I’ve learned quite a bit about it and even seen a few episodes! One of which, the first episode of the season Mirai Sentai Timeranger, reminded me a lot of Doctor Who.

Just done a rewatch of Studio 60, the forgotten Aaron Sorkin show. It is his lesser work, but I still enjoy it.

I’m contemplating a rewatch of Andor.

I finished Lockwood & Co and it got the Netflix treatment which kinda sucks since I really enjoyed it. The main cast bounce off of each other rather well and the whole ghost aspect is brilliant and I like the way they twisted them to make them more interesting. (This is coming from someone who doesn’t watch a lot of ghost shows)
