Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | So much for Medium, what a truly awful show. The pilot was the best one, it had actual production values. The show itself has none. The writing is pitiful. Half the scenes are banter between her and her twit husband. Banter about nothing. There are two small useless daughters that waste more time. And the cases are cookie cutter the same. Boring. I watched 3 eps of season one, and thought season two had to be better. Nope. And from the reviews the lead actress gains weight every season and is a porker by season 7. This had to be a chick series, it's totally empty of any content. If you take a risk, you may lose.

terapined Member since: Aug 6, 2014 Threads: 73 Posts: 11786 | Netflix Unsolved Mysteries Episode 1 The boss knows something or one of the employees knows something. The death is connected to the company he worked for. Sucks the boss and life long friend is not talking. He knows something. Episode 2 Very weird case. So little information. sucks Episode 3 Reminds me of the John List case. I hope they find that father that murdered his family. No way he committed suicide. Find Him. Episode 4 I think his friends hold a lot of blame. How do you drive a friend to a party in the middle of nowhere and leave him behind. Makes no sense. His friends suck. Episode 5. Pretty compelling stories but I need more to believe alien abduction Episode 6. The Mother is a monster. Got away with 2 murders including her own daughter. What a monster. I hope evidence comes out to put her in jail Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | The finale of Blue Bloods season 9 was the marriage of Jamie and Eddie. This was a huge fan event. They had been cop partners for 6 seasons and they made such a great pair we were all wanting them to get married. It was held in the Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral in NYC. This was built over 200 years ago and is spectacular. One thing you can say about the Church, they always had the money to build the gaudiest cathedrals on the planet. God loves it gaudy..

Tom Selleck makes roughly $200,000 per episode for Blue Bloods. It's amazing that a guy who is that successful on TV had such a blase film career.

Mr Baseball has always been an extremely underrated movie in my opinion. |

You left out the 9 Jesse Stone movies he made between 2000 and 2015. I thought they were very good and so did Selleck. He only agreed to Blue Bloods if he could keep making the Stone movies. Selleck is a big guy. And like John Wayne and Rock Hudson, they only fit well in certain kinds of parts. It's the short guys that get all the good stuff. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

ams288 Member since: Apr 21, 2016 Threads: 29 Posts: 12419 | Tom Selleck was originally cast as Indiana Jones when they were making Raiders of the Lost Ark. But he had already shot the Magnum PI pilot, and when it got picked up to series he had to be replaced. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I was listing theatrical films. Jesse Stone movies were for TV. My point is that Tom Selleck is like Mark Harmon, a super successful TV actor whose theatrical film career was very limited. The last theatrical film starring Mark Harmon was an R-rated comedy called Weather Girl | 10 July 2009 (USA) that was shown in 2 theaters. Prior to that he was in Chasing Liberty and Freaky Friday in the 2003-2004 time frame. So Harmon makes Tom Selleck look like a huge movie star. |
