Since you are watching episodes one after another, the show changed
production location AGAIN for season 2; the cow got recast. Toronto
(pilot), New York (season 1), then Vancouver (season 2 till end).

The day DoJ-certified Joke Biden shat himself on The View, I watched:

JOE BIDEN'S "TORTUROUS" SIT DOWN WITH THE VIEW IN FAILED "REHABILITATION TOUR," WITH RUTHLESS POD:
Megyn Kelly is joined by Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook, hosts of the Ruthless podcast, to discuss Joe and Jill BidenÆs awkward sit-down with 'The View,' his ridiculous comment about why Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election, the flop of his "Rehabilitation Tour," his refusal to take responsibility or move beyond tired talking points, and more. https://youtu.be/CPjVqj4Lmi0?si=ndKRAv7RAFm8fsrZ

WATCH JILL BIDEN JUMP IN TO SAVE JOE IN BRUTALLY AWKWARD INTERVIEW WITH "THE VIEW," WITH RUTHLESS:
Megyn Kelly is joined by Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan,
and John Ashbrook, hosts of the Ruthless podcast, to discuss Jill BidenÆs constant interruptions to defend her husband Joe Biden's work ethic despite obvious cognitive decline, The ViewÆs predictable refusal to ask critical questions, her revealing comments hinting at internal tensions within the Democratic Party, speculation about why the Bidens are on a media tour, and more.

SWAT - S8E20

The third last episode of the final season, unless they find some way to
get renewed on another network. Hondo and Deke help Hondo's cousin who
has allegedly murdered someone during Marine boot camp. Alfaro's
mother's old boyfriend - the one who used to beat on her - hits her
again and Alfaro sets out to do what he couldn't do when he was just a
kid; he gets an assist from Tan. Hicks' daughter is apparently dating
Rocker and Hicks is *not* pleased and communicates this displeasure to
everyone involved and 20 Squad. I noticed that this episode was directed
by Alex Russell, who played Jim Street in the first 6 seasons.

A Fist Full of Dollars

I hadn't seen this in a while and was in the mood for a Western so I put
it on. The Man With No Name arrives in a small town controlled by two
rival gangs and works to liberate the town from them.

IMDB confirms that Fistful of Dollars was indeed filmed in Spain and
goes on to list over 100 other films, some quite famous, that were
filmed there, including the entire Dollars Trilogy, Cleopatra, Lawrence
of Arabia, etc.:

the American Southwest, as well as Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula.

. . .

I'm skeptical about the village in Fistful of Dollars actually being a
real Spanish village; I'm dubious about Spanish architecture being
identical to that of the Old West. I suspect they built the village as a
set with only a handful of structures fully built and the rest just
being walls and roofs.

Yesterday (Friday)? Very little.

All I got through was:

soaps: DOOL - Wed's ep. Honestly, pass. I don't even remember what
happened. I think Holly the Brat was in it, but not very much. I admit
that my interest in this show has flagged lately, as they've ejected
either characters or actors that I care most about, such as Ava. And who
is on canvas being featured now, mostly doesn't interest me.

The Baby My Husband Lied About (LMN) - Even for an LMN/Lifetime flick,
this was incredibly dreary. I will admit that, with Lifetime flicks, the
cast, especially the female cast, makes it or breaks it for me. So when
a Lifetime flick, such as this one, contains an *entire female cast*
that I am *completely unfamiliar* with, it's a major problem.
(Ironically, I was familiar with both male leads here - Clayton James
and Roark Critchlow. It was just the female cast whom I did not know.)
Add on to the fact that I thought this was not written in an interesting
way at all - IOW, the suspense/mystery did not engage me - with a
heroine I didn't care about, and this was one of the poorest Lifetime
flicks I've seen in a while! This is one of those flicks that I will not
be rewatching when LMN inevitably begins rerunning it.

FTR, I'm not watching much today (Sat.) either - I've been
procrastinating grading, and I will have to get to that after dinner...

I haven't really noticed the changes but I did know about the three

they moved to New York. The second cow was not friendly and had a habit
of licking the casts' heads. (Ick.) The third cow was juuust right. :)

Yes, surprising, isn't it? After all those huge "slurps"
of wine he took on the show. Smoker too, IIRC.

But he changed his ways after his wife, Trina, had a heart
attack and went for more healthful recipes and eating styles.

Since you are watching episodes one after another, the show changed
production location AGAIN for season 2; the cow got recast. Toronto
(pilot), New York (season 1), then Vancouver (season 2 till end).

Did you notice any changes? I don't recall noticing but there was a long
gap between seasons.

I haven't really noticed the changes but I did know about the three
cows. Because there was a disc extra about them. The first Gene
recasting was because they couldn't take the first cow with them when
they moved to New York. The second cow was not friendly and had a habit
of licking the casts' heads.

What could be more friendly than a loving head lick?

What Did You Watch?

SWAT - S8E20

The third last episode of the final season, unless they
find some way to get renewed on another network. Hondo and
Deke help Hondo's cousin who has allegedly murdered
someone during Marine boot camp. Alfaro's mother's old
boyfriend - the one who used to beat on her - hits her
again and Alfaro sets out to do what he couldn't do when
he was just a kid; he gets an assist from Tan. Hicks'
daughter is apparently dating Rocker and Hicks is *not*
pleased and communicates this displeasure to everyone
involved and 20 Squad. I noticed that this episode was
directed by Alex Russell, who played Jim Street in the
first 6 seasons.

A Fist Full of Dollars

I hadn't seen this in a while and was in the mood for a
Western so I put it on. The Man With No Name arrives in a
small town controlled by two rival gangs and works to
liberate the town from them.

This movie is mentioned in the book "Driving Marilyn" I
posted about today.

Nyssa, who is surprised at the mention of the movie here

Say, I found that our library has Berlin Noir and several other titles
by Kerr. I began reading it, and like it pretty well. Always like a
snarky detective.

Graham Kerr?

Was surprised to find out he is still around at 91 years old.

I understand he no longer gallops. At best he can work up a good canter.

Just for Arthur (IMDb trivia for the episode):
There are a number of references to The X-Files (1993). One reference is >during the Senate hearing, which itself occurred a number of times
during the series run, the committee chairman refers to the defunct "X" >division of the FBI.

Yeah, I noticed the X-Files references when I was watching it.
