Lisa Marie’s Week In Television: 10/11/26 — 10/17/26


The Amazing Race (Wednesday Night, CBS)

I wrote about The Amazing Race here!

Austin City Limits (PBS)

I watched an episode featuring Olivia Rodrigo on Saturday morning.

Bar Rescue (Weekdays, Paramount)

I was up early on Wednesday so I could watch Sweet November on TCM.  After the movie ended, I watched two episodes of Bar Rescue on Paramount,  The first one was set at an Irish bar that needed some help.  The second one was at a North Carolina nightclub that was pouring cheap liquor into expensive bottles and then overcharging the customers.  John Taffer got mad and yelled at everyone, as he should have.

In between watching the first and the second episodes of Crystal Lake on Thursday, I ended up watching three episodes of Bar Rescue.  I only meant to watch one but I couldn’t help it.  I got drawn into all the drama and the shouting,

Baseball: Devil Rays vs Guardians (TBS, Tuesday Night)

My sister was so sweet about watching the Twilight films with me that I watched a baseball game with her on Tuesday night.

Baywatch Nights (YouTube)

David Hasselhoff and two Vikings!  I watched a classic episode this week.  Valhalla!

Carrie (Prime)

I finished Carrie on Sunday and promptly shared my thoughts.

Crystal Lake (Peacock)

My thoughts can be read here.

Diff’Rent Strokes (Tubi)

My friend Mark recommended that I watch an episode featuring Arnold, his younger stepbrother Sam, and an epileptic street performer.  The performer had a seizure in Central Park and Sam yelled, “It’s Karen!  She’s dying!”  Later, Arnold cracked a joke about the performer and got yelled at by his housekeeper, who was epileptic herself.  That served Arnold right!

The Ghost Writer (YouTube)

I watched this unsold pilot on Monday and I shared my thoughts on Thursday.

Holy Mass In Honor Of Our Lady of Fatima (EWTN, Tuesday Night)

Erin and I watched this on Tuesday.  It was very moving.

In Search Of…. (YouTube)

I watched (and shared!) a few episodes of this old Leonard Nimoy-narrated series this week.  They were pretty fun!  The entire series is on YouTube so I might watch them all.

Jail (Reelz, Weekdays)

I watched two episodes on Wednesday.  Just about everyone who was brought into the jail was drunk.  The deputies called everyone “buddy.”

Mother Angelica Classics (EWTN, Weekday Mornings)

In a show that probably originally aired in the 80s or the early 90s, Mother Angelica, the founder of EWTN, discussed the importance of faith.  At one point, Mother Angelica went to commercial because she was having “mic problems.”  It was a nice, humanizing moment.

Night Flight (Night Flight+)

On Friday night, I watched an episode about “women in rock.”  I’m pretty sure that I had watched that one before.

SCTV (Netflix)

Erin Nicole and I watched two episodes on Sunday.  Mel did his best to host Mel’s Rockpile, despite his audience not having much respect for him.  We followed this up with another Mel’s Rockpile episode.  Richard Harris came by to sing MacArthur Park.

Seinfeld (KDAF, weeknights)

Erin and I watched two episodes of this show on Tuesday night.  The first featured an old movie theater, Elaine losing a button, everyone thinking that George was crazy, and Lloyd Braun (Matt McCoy) acting strange.  The second episode features Kramer using butter to shave, Jerry purposefully bombing on stage to make Kenny Bania look bad, and Elaine and Puddy flying back to America after a European vacation.  George also pretended to be handicapped so he could get a job at a company that manufactured playground equipment.  Who wouldn’t?

Shawn’s Eyes (EWTN, Wednesday Morning)

This sweet short film from 2014 aired on EWTN on Wednesday morning.  It was a profile of Shawn, a 41 year-old man with Down’s Syndrome.  It was very touching.  Both Erin and I had tears in our eyes by the end of it.

Survivor (CBS, Wednesday Night)

I wrote about Survivor here!

Twilight Zone (Paramount+)

On Sunday, Jeff and I watched Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, with William Shatner and the Gremlin.

Lisa Marie’s Week In Television: 10/4/26 — 10/10/26


The Amazing Race (Wednesday Night, CBS)

I wrote about the Amazing Race here.

Austin City Limits (PBS)

On Friday night, I watched a performance by Sienna Spiro.  She was okay.  I prefer EDM but that’s not the Austin City Limits way.

Carrie (Prime)

I started watching Mike Flanagan’s Carrie on Friday.  I’ve got two more episodes to go so I’ll probably review it tomorrow.  I’ll hold off on giving my thoughts until then.

Fear Itself (YouTube)

I’ve been watching and posting episodes of Fear Itself all week.

Kitchen Nightmares (Tubi)

I watched four episodes on Wednesday.  Two of the episodes deal with the Main Street Bistro and its arrogant owner.  One episode was about Yanni’s, a Greek restaurant owned by a loud family.  The final episode was the classic episode that featured Gordon’s visit to Amy’s Baking Company in Scotsdale, Arizona.  It’s hard to believe that episode is now 13 years old.

The Steve Wilkos Show (Tubi)

I watched two episodes on Tuesday.  Both dealt with bad and abusive parents.  Steve got mad and yelled a lot but he was totally justified in doing so.  Some people really don’t deserve to be parents.

Survivor (Wednesday Night, CBS)

I wrote about Survivor here.

Lisa Marie’s Week In Television: 8/9/26 — 8/15/26


Austin City Limits (YouTube)

I watched an episode featuring Leonard Cohen.  It was a bit too low-key for me but I did appreciate Cohen’s sense of style.

Big Brother (24/7, CBS, Paramount+, Pluto TV)

I’ve been writing about the show that I love to hate at the Reality Tv Chat Blog.

Election Coverage

The Wisconsin primary will go down in history. As much as I disagree with Frances Hong on the issues, I felt a bit sorry for her.  There was a time when it was very trendy to claim to be mentally ill on social media.  I think a lot of people are going to run into the same problem that she ran into when they try to run for office.

Kitchen Nightmares (Disney Plus)

 I watched the two latest episodes.  I am amazed that anyone would allow their business to appear on this show.  Personally, I am never going to eat again.

Survivor 50 (Wednesday Night, CBS)

That 90-minute run time is going to be the death of Survivor.  Every episode feels so dragged out now.

Top of the Pops (YouTube)

I watched two episodes from the 80s on Saturday morning  It featured some of the least danceable music that I’ve ever heard.

Lisa Marie’s Week In Television: 7/26/26 — 8/1/26


Austin City Limits (PBS)

I watched an episode of this show on Saturday morning.  My musical tastes pretty much start and end with EDM.  Sorry, Austin.

Big Brother 28 (24/7, CBS, Paramout+, Pluto TV)

I’ve been sharing my thoughts on the show that I love to hate over at the RealityTVChat Blog.  Feel free to leave a comment over there because, right now, the blog is not quite living up to the chat part of the name.

The Larry Sanders Show (HBOMax)

It’s a funny show and it helps to ease my anxiety.  I’ve watched quite a few episodes this week.

Rogue’s Gallery (NightFlight+)

I watched an episode about John Dillinger on Friday.  Now there was a handsome bank robber!

Saved By The Bell (Tubi)

Running Zack!  I’ll be posting a review of this week’s episode in a bit.

Survivor 50 (CBS, Wednesday Night)

CBS has been re-airing Survivor 50 after episodes of Big Brother.  I missed Survivor 50 when it first aired and I’m still struggling to get into it right now.  I prefered Survivor when it was only an hour long.  I have ADHD so asking me to concentrate for 90 minutes is a bit much.
