What did you watch?
I am mostly on target to get everything major work-related finished up
this week, so that next week I can vacation. But it again meant TV
watching wasn't the focus... Still, I got through:
Night Court (2023) (Peacock) - "Hold the Pickles, Keep the Change" (ep. #2.5).
  Abby finds out that her ex-fiance from season #1 (not shown on
screen) is seeing somebody new, Upstate, and it drives her nuts. So the
new clerk Wyatt has to try to help her through it. In an amusing bit,
Olivia tries to romance an ambulance chasing lawyer (Rob Huebel, who is pretty much my age, but looks so old now because his hair is 100%
gray!), but is c***blocked at every opportunity by the lawyer's even
shadier partner! (Paul Scheer). And Flobert is back, getting into food trouble with Dan, with Gergs warning them that Flobert has one foot in
the grave! (Don't worry - Flobert doesn't die!!)
golf - Final Day at The Players Championship at Sawgrass.
  Well, this was a drag... At the end of Day 3, Scottie Scheffler had managed to position himself at the very edge of contention. On Day 4, he
shot something like a 64, vaulting past Day 3 leaders Xander Schauffele
and Wyndham Clark to take the lead. Down the stretch, Schauffele just couldn't keep it together enough to reclaim the lead. Meanwhile, Clark
had a chance to tie, and force a playoff with Scheffler, on the 18th
hole, but had the most unfortunate "spin-out" birdie putt attempt I
think I have ever seen! So Scheffler won the Players for the second year
in a row (first person to win back-to-back at the Players).
soaps: DOOL - Mostly drama about: John - Steve finally confesses to
Marlena about John's first mission as "The Pawn", which got
Constantine's daughter killed; at the same time, Constantine confronts
John about killing his daughter all those years ago, and swears revenge! sweet revenge!! And: Holly pleads with EJ not to press charges against
Tate, while Tate's parents castigate him for breaking into the DiMera
mansion to see Holly. Holly sneaks out to the cop shop to try to see
Tate but is prevented by Jada... Finally, Harris (I'm shocked he is
still on DOOL - Steve Burton is currently doing "double duty" here and
on GH!) confronts EJ about Stefan (who has disappeared), implying that
EJ is in on the conspiracy with Clyde, along with Stefan.

The Twilight Zone S4E06 'Death Ship' - DVR
What did you watch?
Three astronauts discover the wreckage of a ship identical to their own
on an unexplored planet. With Jack Klugman. (Comcast)
An interplanetary expedition from Earth finds an exact duplicate of
their ship and themselves crashed on the planet they were surveying.
Should they stay or risk taking off and crashing?
Trivia: The spaceship E-89, is the same miniature prop that was
originally created as the saucer-shaped United Planets Cruiser C-57D for
the 1956 MGM science fiction classic Forbidden Planet (1956). The
external set of the ship and its staircase, and the crew uniforms, are
also from the same film. "The Twilight Zone" was able to make extensive
use of props and costumes created for "Forbidden Planet" (including
Robby The Robot) thanks to the fact that it was regularly filmed at MGM Studios, which kept all these items in storage in its prop department
for many years.
This episode takes place in 1997.
Of the three main actors, Jack Klugman (Captain Ross) was the only one
who lived to see the actual 1997.
The emblem the flight crew wears on their chest pockets is the same
emblem the flight crew in the later episode, On Thursday We Leave for a
Home, wears on their caps.
Some of the score was taken from Jerry Goldsmith's music used in Back
There (1961).
According to "Richard Matheson: Collected Stories, Vol. 1", the author
of both the source story and its television adaptation claimed that it
"was my first attempt to write a 'standard' science fiction story,
because at the time I was simply trying to sell as many stories as I
could. I just got the idea that what if these guys went down to
investigate a crash ship and went in and saw themselves dead. I had to
extend the idea by having the captain present all sorts of possibilities
as to why it was happening. I thought the last line was very good - 'The Flying Dutchman takes to the universe.' I don't know when the last line occurred to me, but that's what the whole concept was, basically. And
they made a pretty nice Twilight Zone out of it, too. Again, writing
this story in the early fifties, 1997 was, to me, the distant future."
The only equipment each of them carries to check the crashed ship is a flashlight. If humans evolved to undergo interplanetary exploration it
would make sense to have specialized equipment.
The Twilight Zone S4E07 'Jess-Belle' - DVR
A girl (Anne Francis) strikes a bargain with a witch to win a young
man's heart. With James Best, Jeanette Nolan.
Appalachian beauty Jess-Belle can't bear to lose the object of her
passion to the local rich girl, so she turns to the local witch for aid.
The results bring unexpected and tragic consequences.
Trivia: This haunting love story originally aired on Valentine's Day in
1963.
This is the only TZ episode not to feature a closing narration. It
instead featured a poem.

I'm sure I watched this years before I ever got around to watching

Sounds like an episode of "Tales From the Darkside." Did the witch swap bodies with the girl?
What Did You Watch?
On St. Patrick's Day I watched:
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (blu-ray) 1968 fantasy movie with music from the Sherman brothers starring Dick Van Dyke, which for some strange reason
people keep mistaking for a Disney movie when it's clearly not. It's actually a Bond movie, or that is it was based on a book by Ian
Flemming. That and Goldfinger is the villain. Anyway, the movie holds
up great. The movie was shot on 70mm and as good as the blu-rays looks
a new 4K print would be jaw dropping. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_l2ii_25tc
On St. Patrick's Day I watched:
Darby O'Gill and the Little People (blu-ray) 1959 Disney fantasy movie >directed by Robert Stevenson about a man who matches wits with the king
of the leprechauns. A young James Bond also stars. Holds up very well.
Mary Poppins (blu-ray) 1964 Disney fantasy movie directed by Robert >Stevenson with music from the Sherman brothers about a shady nanny who
drugs children with LSD laced "medicine" which causes the children to go
on hallucinogenic trips which Poppins then gaslights the children into >thinking they never went on. I love this movie. I wasn't even in the
mood to watch it, but once it got going, I enjoyed it.
Bedknobs and Broomsticks (blu-ray) 1971 Disney fantasy movie directed by >Robert Stevenson with music from the Sherman brothers about a witch
(Angela Lansbury) who uses her magic to fight Nazis during WWII. I love
this movie. Holds up great.
