My point is that Tom Selleck is like Mark Harmon, a super successful TV actor whose theatrical film career was very limited.

With actors it's all about money,
not awards. You better believe the
out of work film actors in their 70's
are green with jealousy that 75
year old people like Selleck are
pulling in millions a years off a
TV show. I remember in the 60's
and later actors like Paul Newman
had a huge disdain for TV, he
wouldn't even go on the Tonight
Show till the 80's. Now TV is where
all the money is. And it's ironic
because Newman got his start
in late 40's early 50's TV.

I watched them all except the French episode.

Can’t wait for more.

lol I skipped the French episode too

It was good. I wish they did it in a hosted format, but Robert Stack’s shoes are hard to fill

Robert Downey Jr. gets $20 million upfront and nearly 8% of the pool for his role as Iron Man, and that amounted to about $55 million for his work in Avengers: Endgame, which grossed $2.796 billion at the box office. Noboy makes close to that amount in TV

Its really good. About table soccer

Went back 10 years and watched the
pilot to Blue Bloods again. Impressive
how the family dynamic they had
in the pilot is still exactly in place
in season 10. And they all look so
young, Selleck is only 65.

They used Frankie singing NYNY.
Had to cost CBS a mint. The estates
of Sinatra and Elvis charge a fortune
for their songs, as well they should.

The estates of Sinatra and Elvis charge a fortune for their songs, as well they should.

I watched part of "Animal Crackers" a low budget ($17 million) 2017 American-Chinese animation film. Voice actors are all American or British actors.

Emily Blunt ... Zoe (voice)
Danny DeVito ... Chesterfield (voice)
John Krasinski ... Owen (voice)
Ian McKellen ... Horatio P. Huntington (voice)
Raven-Symoné ... Binkley (voice)
Sylvester Stallone ... Bullet-Man (voice)
Patrick Warburton ... Brock (voice)
Wallace Shawn ... Mr. Woodley (voice)
Gilbert Gottfried ... Mario Zucchini (voice)

The film was released in China, but its American and other countries debut was cancelled.

You wonder why they have to hire voice actors. I mean how many kids remember Wallace Shawn's famous appearance as the 'little homunculus' in Manhattan (1979).
