I watched:

WE ARE THE 80'S

WE ARE THE 80'S

WE ARE THE 80'S

THE SIMPSONS:
"The Last Man Expanding". Homer ends up as the only one in Springfield not addicted to a new miracle weight loss drug.
Wow, this wasn't nearly as funny as it should have been!

FAMILY GUY:
"Pitch Imperfect". Peter must gain his family's respect back after he makes
a humiliating throw; Brian and Stewie become chiropractors.
I was expecting more chiropractic material and zingers. I liked the callback
to Meg's athleticism.

FAMILY GUY:
"Hard Times at Adam West High". Chris uses Stewie's time machine to stop himself from having an erection during a book report; Peter becomes jealous when he sits out of a lottery pool and the guys win.
I got a good laugh from the Lottery theme scratch-offs. Wouldn't Meg have eventually healed from that burn?

KRAPOPOLIS:
"John Fate Comes a-Knockin". Everyone knows The Fates, but what about their brother, John Fate? Deliria's clairvoyant ex comes to town and gives the
family some bad news.
I must have missed the part about him being related the Fates and was just a charlatan.

Sunday, I actually worked much of the day, so all I got through was
soaps and golf:

soaps: GH - Thur's and Fri's ep's. Both of these episodes had Joss, who
is near the end of her "spy" training - but Joss catches her trainer in
a sketchy situation at a coffee shop that looked like it involved a
shady spycraft "handoff" to him. When NuJack Brennan shows up to
"graduate" Joss, she rats the supervisor out to Brennan - just as I
expected, this turned out to be a test, to see if Joss would rat out the supervisor under suspicious circumstances. So Joss "graduates" to "spy",
and now they want her to spy on someone in Port Charles (I'm guessing
it'll be Jenz Sidwell)... In other news, Sasha intends to put Jason's
name on her baby's birth cert (this lie is getting ridiculous!). Sonny threatens Sidwell over the fire-bombing which Natalia overhears (Sonny
never sees her there). Lucy tries to drum up performers for the annual
Nurses' Ball [roll]... I'm glad they don't seem to plan to string out
the Kristina thing - Lucky goes to confront Kristina about it; Ric wakes
up when Ava is present, and reveals the car's brakes failed, and later remembers Kristina at the accident scene; Ava investigates why her car
crashed (so I guess Ric was driving Ava's car during the crash), and
finds out from the impound lot dude that her brake lines were cut!

golf - Brian Harman didn't do it "cleanly", but he did manage to hold on
during the final day - and though he did lose strokes over his Day 3
score, he still managed to win by 3. Nearly everyone else on the
leaderboard lost more strokes than Harman did over Day 3! (Hoge and
Novak were +4 for the day!) Only young guy Ryan Gerard seemed to do
better on the Final Day, going -3 on Day 4, and ending up in second place.

And that was it - otherwise, I was leaving movies on the TV on in the background, and doing work stuff, or playing video games.

Andor (4K discs) I binged this Star Wars TV series, which is also a
prequel to "Rogue One" and follows the birth of the Rebel Alliance.
Diego Luna stars as Cassian Andor, a petty criminal who has a bad run in
with some empirial officers and winds up killing them and going on the
run. The higher ups in the empire are happy to write off the deaths,
but one determined officer just won't let it go and spends the series
chasing Andor. The series also follows Stellan Skarsgård as one of the leaders in what would one day become the rebel alliance. He recruits
Andor for a mission.

I was on the fence as to if I wanted to watch this or not, but decided
to just go ahead and put the disc in. I knew the show was really good,
but would it be rewatchable? Turns out the show is really great and was
easily rewatchable as one of the best TV shows ever.

Law & Order - "A Perfect Family" - A woman with mental health issues
kills her daughter so the police arrest the husband for not letting her
take medications. Although as the defense points out, he didn't
actually prevent her from taking the meds, he just said he didn't want
her too. Anyway the man gets prosecuted because the writers are running
out of ideas. I kept thinking the woman was seeing a therapist. If the therapist thought she was a danger to herself or others, then why didn't
the therapist have her committed, or the police arrest the therapist for
not doing something. And if the trained licensed therapist thought she
was safe to be on the streets without meds, then how would the husband
know different?


Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - "Accomplice Liability" - This was a follow-up from an earlier episode where Carisi was held hostage. During
that episode Carisi told one of the criminals he could shoot his partner
and it would be self defense of others. The guy did it, everyone
escaped but the who shot his partner was charged with the murder of the
guy he shot. This episode focused on the trial with the defense being,
the DA told me to do it.

I acknowledge that you commented upon utterly stupid and offensive crap
in that script that I had not commented upon. You're absolutely right,
that danger to herself or others requires a doctor to report the
patient. There is no confidentiality. I don't recall what the doctor
told the police that the patient said to her in support of the diagnosis
of post partum psychosis, if she indicated that she would inflict harm.
