Lisa Marie’s Week In Television: 10/25/26 — 10/31/26


The Amazing Race (Wednesday Night, CBS)

I wrote about The Amazing Race here.

Bar Rescue (Weekdays, Paramount+)

I woke up on Monday with a splitting headache and an aching ankle.  I watched two episodes of Bar Rescue and I realized that, as bad as I was feeling, at least I wasn’t getting yelled at for not knowing how to make an obscure cocktail.

Community (Peacock)

On Friday night, I watched the first Halloween episode of this classic sitcom.

The Elvira Show (YouTube)

I reviewed The Elvira Show here.

Game 4 of the World Series (Tuesday Night, Fox)

Tuesday was a strange day for me.  I had a terrible attack of anxiety which kept me from getting much done and I ended up falling asleep in the afternoon and not waking up until it was nearly 7:00 pm.  When I get like this, my sister Erin is usually the only person who can calm me down so, on Tuesday night, I watched the World Series with her.  Little did I suspect that the game would last for six hours.  That’s okay, though.  The important thing is that I got to spend time with my sister.

It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (Apple TV+)

Erin and I watched this on Friday.  You can read her thoughts here.

Kitchen Nightmares (Hulu)

On Thursday, I watched the infamous Burger Kitchen two-parter.  This is seriously one of the most anxiety-producing television episodes ever aired and I was a nervous wreck by the time it ended.  I would let Executive Chef David Blaine make me a burger any day.

Survivor (Wednesday Night, CBS)

I reviewed Survivor here.

Toy Story of Terror! (Disney+)

As a part of our Halloween tradition, Erin and I watched Toy Story of Terror! on Friday.  You can read her thoughts here.

Congratulations to the Milwaukee Brewers!


Congratulations to the Milwaukee Brewers on winning their first World Series!  The Rays put up a good fight and I hope they’ll get another chance (though not before my Rangers) but the Brewers pretty much dominated this World Series and they ended up winning in five games.

Congratulations to the team and their fans!  And thank you to both teams for giving us one of the best World Series of my lifetime.  There’s nothing like watching two hard-working teams that understand the importance of fundamentals both playing for their first World Series title.

I was hoping the World Series would at least last until Halloween but it looks like I won’t have a baseball game to watch on the 31st.  That’ll give me more time to concentrate on being the best Playboy Bunny I can be while handing out candy.  Or eating the candy, in case it rains.

I can’t wait for the start of next season!  Go Rangers!

 

A Scene That Erin Loves From Major League


I know this isn’t Halloween-related but I’m still buzzing over the baseball game that I just watched.  I’m so exited that I’m going to stay up late and watch my favorite baseball movie!  Here’s one of my favorite scenes from Major League.  Listen as Tom Berenger tells you, me, and everyone else what to do whenever anyone says you don’t have a chance at winning!

The Rays Win Game 4!


Holy crap, that was one of the best baseball games that I’ve ever seen!

Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Rays, who came back from what everyone thought was certain doom in the final extra inning and who just won their first World Series game!

12 innings, six and a half hours of baseball, and tomorrow, we’re doing it all over again! Games likes this are what I was talking about when I said that being a baseball fan means staying until the final episode.  You never know when the entire game might be turned around.

Congratulations to the Rays!  Keep it going tomorrow!

The Brewers Are Just One Game Away From Sweeping The World Series!


10-1?  Are you kidding me, Brewers!?

Tonight, the Brewers really did look unstoppable.  I may be an American League girl but I have to congratulate them.  They came in determined to win.

The Brewers are now just one game away from winning their first World Series!  As a Rangers fan, I know how exciting it is when your team finally wins its first World Series.  I also know how much it can hurt when they lose their first World Series.  I’m excited for Milwaukee but I’m sad for Tampa Bay.  The good thing, for the Rays, is that this is baseball and nothing is over until it’s over.  Never celebrate early because you never know what might happen in the next game.  The World Series isn’t over until one team has won four games and the Brewers haven’t done that yet.  They’re awfully close, though.

 

 

Congratulations to the Brewers on Winning Game Two of the World Series!


Congratulations to the Milwaukee Brewers on winning Game 2 of the World Series!

Just like Game One, this one felt like it could have gone either way.  We’re just two games in but this World Series really is reminding me of everything that I love about baseball!  We’ve got two likable teams, two enthusiastic fandoms, and a lot of very talented players.  I don’t even mind that the National League has jumped out to a two game lead.  Baseball is about the fundamentals and I respect any time that has mastered them as long as that team isn’t the Blue Jays.

This was another close game.  For most of it, I had one eye on The Raven and one on the field.  A good movie and a good game of baseball, that’s what I call a perfect night!

Of course, I still have to say, “Go Rays!”  There’s still a lot more baseball to be played and I’m not counting my American League champions out of anything!

Congratulations to the Milwaukee Brewers On Winning Game One


Tonight, I had one eye on The Giant Spider Invasion and one eye on Game One of the World Series. The movie was set in Wisconsin and, of course, this year’s World Series features the team from Wisconsin’s biggest city.  While the movie showed me that women in rural Wisconsin apparently didn’t own pants in the 1970s, the game showed me that both the Brewers and the Rays more than deserve to be representing their leagues in the World Series.

The Brewers won Game 1 by a score of 3-2.  I’m an American League girl so I’m cheering for the Rays but I wasn’t upset to see the Brewers win.  The Brewers played a good game and so did the Rays.  Someone had to win and, in this case, it was the Brewers.  If the Brewers had beaten the Rangers, I would be mad.

Congratulations to the Brewers on winning their first World Series game!

Go Rays!

 

Are You Ready For The World Series?


Are you excited for the World Series?  I know I am.  Whatever happens over the next few nights, one team is going to win their first World Series and one team is going to lose their first World Series.  The last time something like this happened was in 1980!  I wasn’t even born yet!

Here are some images to help you get in the mood for this historic World Series!  If this series goes to a full seven games, it will end on Halloween night!  Can you believe it?

Go Rays!

The Rays Are Going To The World Series!


Congratulation to the Tampa Bay Rays, who pulled out a win against the Guardians tonight and who will be going to their first World Series!  They’ll be facing the Brewers, another team who will be making their first World Series appearance!

For me, this is what baseball is all about.  The Rays were favored to win the American League Championship but the Guardians still proved themselves to be worthy opponents and they certainly didn’t make thing easy for Tampa Bay.  No one gave the Brewers much of a chance but they swept the Dodgers.  And now, one of these teams is going to win their first World Series!

The World Series starts on Friday and, if it goes for the full seven games, it will end on Halloween!

Go Rays!

The Dodgers Have Won The World Series!!!!!


Yes!  It may have taken extra innings!  They may have spent the entire game behind or tied until the 11th inning!  The important thing is that the Dodgers have won the World Series!  Our crops have been saved!  Congratulations to the Dodgers and thank you for defeating the Blue Jays.  That was one of the most exciting World Series that I have ever seen and, in the end, the right team won.

Now, when does Spring Training start?  I’m already looking forward to a new season of cheers, tears, and baseball!

Go Rangers!
