Watched this yesterday. It was full of twists and turns that I could not believe who was behind the nasty texts. She was the lowest of the low, and I cannot believe the girl who was target still wants a relationship with this person. You will need a moment after watching this. Thumbs up. #MovieSky

Tubi has loads of TV movie stuff here in the States.
The One and Only PaddyDoubleMs (@paddydoublems.bsky.social)
I can't believe this is on Tubi. This is Hard Knox, a 1984 TV movie that was a pilot for a possible series that was never picked up. My dad loved it but it was really terrible when you look back at it. The writing is all over the place and some of it doesn't make sense. #TVSky #MovieSky

No, it is on hiatus until they can find a solution. And don't get me started on the whole WQED debacle of people think the station would be sold because of a "some people say" article. It just wrecks my head. I am sure some of them still think Prager U is replacing their PBS station.

People live in the dark and refuse to come into the light. Some of them don't read the articles about PBS they post. They just go by the headline. Lately, I have seen a lot of doomers post the article about American Experience and GBH letting go of the whole crew. So, they think the show is done.

That's the trend, dontcha know? Keep the initials, ditch the full name.

Yeah. We had cable in NJ when we were there from 1980-1982, but when we lived in NM and TX, we didn't. When the family moved up to PA in 1992, we had cable and my sister would watch MTV constantly but by that time, I wasn't interested. My tastes had changed by then and was watching VH1, which

I never had MTV when I was younger. I got my music video fix back then with syndicated shows like Top 40 Videos, This Week's Music, Hot, Music Magazine and America Rocks. But there was a reason why those shows were canceled after a few seasons. Ratings. Advertisers looked at Arbitron ratings
