Lisa Marie’s Week In Television: 5/19/24 — 5/25/24


Abbott Elementary (Wednesday Night, ABC)

Okay, I’ll admit it.  I was wrong.  I thought last week was the finale but it turns out, the season finale was this week.  And what a finale.  Janine threw a party and learned a lesson about not being a control freak.  Gregory finally stopped being so annoying and kissed Janine.  Yay!  And what’s really great is that all of this was due to the wonderful advice of Mr. Johnson, who is one of the best characters on television right now.  I had some issues with this season but this finale made up for almost all of them.

Baby Reindeer (Netflix)

I watched the first episode of Netflix’s acclaimed stalking drama on Tuesday.  It was undoubtedly well-made but it was coming from a bit too dark of a place for me so I haven’t watched any of other episodes yet.  I’ll watch the rest of it next week.

Baywatch Nights (YouTube)

Booked: First Day In (Hulu)

I watched a few episodes of this A&E series on Tuesday night.  It follows people as they are being booked into jail.  As always with these shows, the cops came across as being cocky jerks while the people being booked were far more sympathetic.  I felt especially bad for the 70 year-old owner of a used car dealership who was booked for the crime of not putting some tag on the windshield of some of his cars.  Seriously, if you didn’t already hate the regulatory state already….

Check It Out! (Tubi)

A mini-review of this week’s episode will be dropping in a few hours.

CHiPs (Freevee)

Dr. Phil (YouTube)

On Sunday, I watched an episode of Dr. Phil in which Phil interviewed a woman who had coached her 4 year-old son to falsely accuse her ex-husband of being a part of a child porn ring.  The man was obviously innocent and easily passed a polygraph test.  In what can only be described as being a massive tell, the woman appeared to be upset at the fact that her husband was cleared of a terrible crime.

On Saturday, I watched an episode with a teenage girl who got pregnant because she wanted to be on 16 and Pregnant.  Ugh.  That entire episode made me want to throw something.

Fantasy Island (DVR)

Jeff and I watched a few episodes of this old HBO show on Thursday night.  Rip Torn made me laugh every time he spoke.  What a great actor!

  1. A great week of viewing…can’t wait to hear how you feel by the end of “Baby Reindeer” – if you can make it to the end…as you watch you’ll understand why I am asking that…
