The Amazing Race (Wednesday Night, CBS)
I’m still struggling to get caught up with this season. Hopefully, I’ll have a lot of thoughts to share on the show after this weekend!
Big Brother 25 (24/7, Paramount Plus and CBS)
This stupid season is finally over! You can read my thoughts over at the Reality TV Chat Blog!
Check It Out (Tubi)
My review of this week’s episode of Check It Out should be dropping in about an hour. Personally, I am proud of myself for the dedication that I have shown to reviewing a show that I don’t think anyone else has ever heard of.
C.H.i.Ps (Freevee)
Jeff and I watched two episodes of this extremely 70s cop show earlier tonight. Jeff thinks I should review it for my next Retro series and I think he might be right! The episodes we watched were all about disco roller skating. It was fascinating in its own weird way.

Dirty Pair Flash (YouTube)
I watched an episode of this anime on Friday night. It was a fun episode, one featuring a lot of explosions and cute outfits.
Dr. Phil (YouTube)
Saturday night, I watched two episodes featuring Crystal and Anthony. Anthony was accused of doing something unthinkable to his daughter by his former girlfriend, Crystal. From the start, it was pretty obvious that Crystal was coaching her daughter and Anthony had not molested his daughter. Crystal and her mother repeatedly yelled over Dr. Phil and at Anthony. In general, people who are telling the truth don’t have to yell to make their point.
On Tuesday afternoon, I passed the time by rewatching the episode in which Dr. Phil talked to the creator of Jilly Juice, a disgusting-looking concoction that she claimed could regrow limbs, promote good health, and “cure homosexuality.” I’ve been pretty critical of some of Dr. Phil’s shows but he was definitely at his best when he was exposing Jilly Juice, which had the unfortunate side effect of causing strokes.

Monsters (Tubi)
Nightmare Café (YouTube)
I finished up Nightmare Café this week. My review can be found here!
Sally Jessy Raphael (YouTube)
On Tuesday night, I watched an old episode of this 90s talk show. Sally talked to men who treated their wives like slaves. It was a skin-crawling episode and hopefully, every guest on it got divorced after their appearance.
On Wednesday night, I watched an episode featuring teenagers who were upset that their moms were dressing slutty. To be honest, the teens all came across as being kind of whiny.
The Steve Wilkos Show (YouTube)
On Tuesday night, I watched an episode in which a guy with a beard that made him look like a California cult leader was convinced that his stepdaughter’s boyfriend, who had a mustache that made him look like the owner of a 70s leather bar, was being abusive. They both took lie detector tests and ended up shouting each other as the end credits rolled.
Survivor (Wednesday Night, CBS)
Just as with The Amazing Race, I’m dropping into this season late and still struggling to get caught up. Hopefully, I’ll be caught up by the end of tomorrow. For what I have seen, I am definitely Team Emily!

Welcome Back Kotter (Tubi)
I reviewed Welcome Back Kotter here!
Yes, Prime Minister (Monday Morning, PBS)
When his predecessor as PM describes Jim in unflattering terms in his autobiography, Jim tries to suppress the book through the Official Secrets Act. It all led to a bit of a scandal and a lot of laughs. Bernard got to do quite a bit in this episode, which I appreciated. Bernard is always a fun character, seeing as how he’s right in the middle between Jim’s cluelessness and Sir Humphrey’s manipulativeness.
