Season 2 of Vikings: Valhalla on Netflix is fun. But nothing compares to the original seasons of Vikings.
Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches is slower going than the Vampire series, but they've managed to condense hundreds of pages into a tight show. That took creativity and it works.
Finally, after years, watched the finale of the original Hawaii Five-0 and that completes all seasons. 60's Hawaii, from the cars to technology, is great fun to watch. The guest stars that went on to stardom are great. These old shows are so much more interesting than most of the junk on today.
Like this reality show on formerly The Learning Channel. Haven't seen it yet, has anybody?
Is Milf Manor the queasiest new dating show on TV?
Moms watch their sons flirt with other moms in strange reality competition series that feels like a 30 Rock joke made real

The reality show Milf Manor, which premiered on Sunday night, has already picked up more awards than some programs will ever enjoy. Various Twitter users have anointed it “the most disgusting show”, “the worst show”, and also “the darkest thing I have ever seen on television.” There’s no denying that the overlying concept is rather horrifying: eight mothers descend on a Mexican villa, all single and ready to mingle with an octet of twentysomething men – who happen to be their sons. The program’s oedipal twist emerges in the beginning of the first episode, a front-loaded affair that struggles to know what to do with itself once the vaguely incestuous and thoroughly cringey reveal is out of the way.

That’s right. Welcome to the bachelor pad where men aren’t ever expected to leave the nest. They can lounge around all day in their fleece pjs, and give mom a hug when the spirit moves them. It’s a Mommy and Me pajama party that comes with uniquely low stakes, but the queasy factor is through the roof. At least that’s the intention. In this production, mothers must watch their precious sons chat up older women. And the sons, in turn, are forced to watch their mothers bat their eyes at men who might not be old enough to rent a car. Finally, some might say, the tables are turned. The May-December romance story has been rewritten! Older women get their shot at dewy-fleshed paramours. But more of us might see through the hashtag feminism and identify Milf Manor as a gussied-up American tragedy.

Love is in the air, but it’s of the Freudian variety. Pola goes on a paddleboarding “mini date” with a young foot fetishist named Jimmy. They lie across their paddleboards and do stomach crunches as well as partner yoga, an activity that Pola says reminds her of raising her son. “I used to do this with Jose when he was younger,” she enthuses as she is seen holding her date aloft on her shins in an airplane pose. “I love to do that with kids. So this was really fun for me.” Pola’s passion only becomes visible when they are back on the land, and she spots her son Jose close-talking to Kelle, a peroxide blond who has an alter-ego called “Disco Mommy” (hopefully there will be more on this later?). For now, Kelle is a chipper vertex of the Mommy and Me love triangle that is packaged as the episode’s cliffhanger. Will Jose pair up with Kelle? Or does mama know best? I fear I won’t be learning the answer anytime soon. It’s hard to let go, yes. And this show is equally hard to watch. Milf Manor airs on TLC in the US with a UK date to be announced
'MERICA!
(And no, the titular Mama June is not in it.)
Bonus: Putting aside the evil predator Bob Barker is/was (now he's 99), this clip with Adam Sandler is hilarious. Hadn't seen it before.
but I'd say she even better in this one!
