    All Things TV Series Recommendations/Reviews

    I recommend the Science channel. At least its worth a look, there might be something that strikes your interest. There's still commercials to deal with, mute button at the ready. Oh, and the Sopranos if you haven't seen it. In a league of its own.

    All Things Movie/Documentary Reviews/Recommendations Thread

    I hadn't watched any of it until recently and I made the mistake of binge watching too many episodes. God, now I know what the inside of a black hole is like, you know those distant objects that suck up all matter and light.

    All Things COVID-19 College Football Impact

    Given the resurgence already in states that have opened up, I don't see much chance for a college football season in 2020. Note that experts predict the virus will come back with a vengeance this fall/winter.
