The Good Wife: Mind's Eye (2015)
Jump the shark ?
Jump the Shark ? The show is usually great TV, not this time. I hope it was just "artsy", and not the Jump the Shark episode. Yes, the thought process is like this, but stories are suppose to have plots.The plot was missing from this episode. The characters on this show are always well developed and most of them - too many ? -were in this episode. I'm sure there will be an abundance of The Emperor's Clothes reviews saying how wonderful this episode was, but I didn't think so. Be interesting to see next week's episode. Hope it is back to the usual standards. This has been on of the best shows on TV for several years and I hope it continues. Good dramas are SO rare on TV now days. It's mostly reality ( which it is not ) shows.
The Newsroom (2012)
Sad to see it go
This was an intelligent,thought provoking drama. Great characters and story lines. The dialog was smart, fast and bright. It had characters that you really cared about.It got us all watching by a really good monologue by Will McElvoy at Northwestern University about why "The US is NOT the greatest country in the world anymore". Catch it on HBO or HBOGO if you can. But it died because the under thirties MUST have explosions, vampires or the undead, but good dramas ? with good characters ?? Duh, can i tweet about that ?? It is a real shame that quality TV is doomed by youth ! Oh, and did I mention, youth did the same thing to movies. What no explosions, no CGI ?? Are you crazy ?
The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau: A Sound of Dolphins (1972)
Don't mess with Mother Nature
I suppose there's the excuse "they did not know better" in the Old Days,but they almost killed the female dolphin for "no good reason". Then they tortured the male for their silly experiments. Love Jacques and most of his shows-I learned to SCUBA dive in the 1950's BECAUSE of his inspiration and invention-the Aqua Lung,but this show was a downer. I realize these kinds of things are necessary for research but capturing a WILD dolphin instead of using one already in captivity makes no sense and was cruel. Some marine institute surely would have co-operated if Cousteau had asked them. This entire series is dated but was great and very interesting in its day !
