Shows are wrapping up their seasons left and right. I'm watching more series on broadcast TV than I have in a long time. Luckily, in these new streaming days new shows on streaming services will be available all summer, so those of us who are TV Hounds at heart don't have to wait for fall to get new stuff to watch.
Paradise Exodus
The finale brought down the city and the mountain on top of it that hosted the Bunker. The Bunker was a marvel of technology and life planning. I'm sorry to see it go. Now that big convoy and all the residents of the Bunker who escaped are just sitting on nothing but the ruins of civilization.
I felt happy for Xavier's family reunion, but poor Bean just seemed at the periphery of all the hugs and happiness.
The Rookie Tiger Bear
The murder of an English teacher who tutored students on the side is complicated by the fact that no one will admit to calling in the finding of the body. Nolan's teen fan Dash spends time with his crook of a father.
Doc The Big Chair
On Michael's first day as chief of internal medicine, chaos ensues as Joan comes in as a patient, causing Miller and Amy to fight over treatment options. A nurse wants Miller removed for his manipulation of her in previous times, unaware of the deal that has been made to allow Miller to practice at Westside again.
Best Medicine Norway Nohow
The sister city saga continues with revelations that the ecosystem of Port Wenn will be destroyed by the interlopers from Norway. The female representative first gives birth while in the middle of a lecture, to an extremely hairy baby who grunts, then a healthy girl she didn't know she was pregnant with several hours later. Charles actually lies about a high placed friend who will help the town get out of the contract that has been made, saving the day. The bully who made Charles' childhood miserable was keen on the deal and goes to the Board of Medicine to report Charles and Elaine for illegally allowing her to draw blood because of his phobia. The season ender saves Port Wenn, but perhaps loses them the doctor they were just getting used to.
Will Trent A Flag in the Mud
A mother holds the ER hostage until her son gets care where Will, Nico and Angie are waiting for help. An elevator fight scene for the ages.
Matlock The Future Is Nigh
A fascinating episode wherein the co-owner of an AI company which produces seemingly alive digital copies of the dead creates a copy of her sister that helps decide who should inherit control of the company, the sister or an unknown to everyone boyfriend.
Sheriff Country The Finest
I'm behind a week on this show, oops. A mostly tense episode as the team tries to find out what happened to a school bus full of kids who left the school as usual, then disappeared, leaving the school bus exploding in flames but no sign of the kids. It's a cross over episode with Fire Country characters, only one of whom was engaging.
Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair Ep 1
All the cast but one is back except for one. We used to watch this show, but didn't watch it all the way to the end of its run. The previews looked really fun. As it turned out, it was too frenetic for me to enjoy. I find that I don't like shows where the characters are constantly doing asides, talking directly to the audience. Malcolm was way hyper. His father was kind of repulsive. Malcom's daughter was very over the top.
