Michael Herst00:00:00

Hey, one more thing before you go. It's Michael and Diane and we're back with part two of the 2026 premieres.We have a list of favorite television programs, a bunch of new ones and more that we're going to kind of discuss and review like we did last Sunday.If you missed the first half, part one of the 27th, 2026 television premiere date, it's available on our website before you go, podcast.com and you can go out and check out the, the first was it January and February of like the bazillion that are coming back and some new ones coming on and stuff. We were, you know, kind of excited.

Diane Herst00:00:37

For and a few of February that we missed last week and going to talk about today.

Michael Herst00:00:42

Talk about today. And we're excited to talk about March through July.And yes, I say July because there's a few things in April, May, June and July, like, you know, little things just to kind of put on your radar just a little bit. And I think it's important. So stay tuned.I'm your host Michael Hurst and I am here with the one person that has watched more premieres, finales, mid season, twist and wait, what just happened Moments with me than anyone else on the planet, My partner in life, my partner in binge watching, the one, the only, my wife, the co host, Diane.

Diane Herst00:01:23

Hello. That's a lot to live up to.

Michael Herst00:01:27

Okay, we just, I forgot the little applause thing. See, that's all we needed. Welcome back.We can't wait to delve into the premieres of some of our favorite programs as well as some of the new stuff is coming out. And we have a couple of things we need to talk about in regard to some things that we forgot about the first time around.And one thing I actually got wrong, which I need to correct because, and.

Diane Herst00:02:02

I just agreed with you, I'm just like, oh, okay, great. He's in, he's in that show. Great.

Michael Herst00:02:07

Well, she's usually always right. Usually.

Diane Herst00:02:10

Well, I didn't, I actually didn't. I didn't know anything about the show so I just figured you did.

Michael Herst00:02:15

Well, you know, it, it's. There is a show similar to what we had said, but we'll talk about it here shortly. It's not a Brendan Fraser.The one that we mentioned does not is not Brendan Fraser. The premise of it is still the same thing though.So we brought up a thing about Wonder man and Wonder man actually is about a guy that, that realizes that he's a real life superhero and didn't know it the Individual was not Brendan Frazier, so. My bad.

Diane Herst00:02:45

Do you know who it is then?

Michael Herst00:02:48

Off top of my head, put me on the spot.

Diane Herst00:02:50

Well, I figured you. I figured you looked it up.

Michael Herst00:02:54

It is. I saw the preview for it, so, you know, that in itself, I think it looks pretty good, but, you know.

Diane Herst00:02:59

Yeah, the premise sounds interesting.

Michael Herst00:03:00

Yeah, sounds pretty. I mean, what if we all realize we're superheroes and we just had all these superpowers, we didn't know it and.And we almost didn't know it before we could really understand it and start using them.

Diane Herst00:03:11

If I found out I actually had superpowers this whole time and I didn't find out till I'm 57, I'm going to be really mad. Like, really, really mad.

Michael Herst00:03:19

Really, really, really mad.I'm still waiting to find out if, like, you're a genie that came out of a bottle or something, or maybe a witch that is told that don't use your magic, but I'm giving you permission. Bewitched, you see.

Diane Herst00:03:33

Yeah, I know.

Michael Herst00:03:34

You always stupid guys. Both of those guys. Darren. And then.

Diane Herst00:03:43

Oh, Major Healy.

Michael Herst00:03:44

Major Healy. Well, not just Major Healey, but Major Nelson.

Diane Herst00:03:48

Oh, Major Nelson.

Michael Herst00:03:49

Major Nelson.

Diane Herst00:03:50

Oh, where I got it.

Michael Herst00:03:51

Yeah. Major Nelson.

Diane Herst00:03:51

Oh, Healey's his friend.

Michael Herst00:03:52

Yeah. And Captain Healy. It's like you guys, you know, Major Nelson. Nelson obviously added genie.

Diane Herst00:04:00

Yeah.

Michael Herst00:04:01

You didn't use that to your best ability to make life so much nicer and kept saying, no, don't use your magic.

Diane Herst00:04:07

I think I understand that one a little more than I do Bewitched because he was an astronaut and he. If. If her magic was found out, the government would seize her, basically, with.

Michael Herst00:04:21

With her magic, she could make him forget that they know.

Diane Herst00:04:24

I don't know. I just think that's probably why he didn't want her using magic. I understand that one. But Bewitched, you guys, you. Darren's. You're stupid.

Michael Herst00:04:32

You stupid. You're just stupid.

Diane Herst00:04:34

Let her use her magic, man.

Michael Herst00:04:36

It was a great. It was a great series. Great series.

Diane Herst00:04:39

It was.

Michael Herst00:04:41

So anyway, we're going to keep this tight again because part two of this 2026 TV premiere list is still massive. Hundreds of shows are still returning favorites, some that we didn't like, some that we probably won't watch.You know, what we're going to talk about is our favorites. So obviously, I'm going to put the list from the Hollywood Reporter, a link to it in the show notes so you can come back and see when yours is on.If we don't talk about it, Some brand new stuff that's coming out is dropping across every platform. So this isn't just network tv. It's also cable tv. A lot of streaming services. I get stuck in the cable TV stuff. Everybody uses streaming now.I mean, well, your parents still use cable, but it's the same principle. You get what they give you and you pay for it, and that's what you get.

Diane Herst00:05:30

Sure, except with streaming, you have more than what you can even watch in a lifetime.

Michael Herst00:05:36

No, that's a fact.

Diane Herst00:05:37

And it's really, really hard to make a decision, you know, someone that has, you know, issues deciding things anyway, like.

Michael Herst00:05:44

I don't know, Libras or Capricorns.

Diane Herst00:05:48

No, Capricorns. We don't have trouble deciding things. We know what we want and we just say, there it is.

Michael Herst00:05:53

Oh, I've got to let. Have you seen my list on Netflix and Paramount? Max, Akyo, Max.

Diane Herst00:06:00

I can't even look.

Michael Herst00:06:01

And Peacock, and you name it. I mean, I've had huge lists, and.

Diane Herst00:06:06

You don't remember any of them until you look through and go, oh, yeah, I forgot. I marked that.

Michael Herst00:06:10

Oh, yeah.Do you think we should share with everybody that if I would review everything I have saved on Netflix and hbo, Max and Peacock and Paramount, you wouldn't be able to do it and all of them in a lifetime and Prime? No, we'd be doing this every day, probably for the next two years. Every day. It'd be an everyday thing. So. Yeah.

Diane Herst00:06:37

And for a lot longer than 30 minutes.

Michael Herst00:06:39

And it's not because I don't know what to watch, it's because, well, I want to watch that. I think that would be cool.

Diane Herst00:06:44

There's not enough time in the day.

Michael Herst00:06:45

Not enough time in the day. There really isn't.I think they should extend the day and then shorten the work week and shorten the work days so that you have more time to watch TV and movies.

Diane Herst00:06:56

That'd be great. I still say I need to find a job watching TV and movies that pays. That's what I need as my job.

Michael Herst00:07:04

Well, sometimes. I mean, I guess you could call that retirement.

Diane Herst00:07:08

Sure. But I want to get paid a lot of money to do it well. And I. I don't know where. I don't know if that job exists.

Michael Herst00:07:15

We should. We should.

Diane Herst00:07:16

If it does.

Michael Herst00:07:17

Yeah, we should try to find that job because we'd be good at it, man. Unfortunately, we got this sitting on the couch, watching TV stuff down pat.

Diane Herst00:07:25

Oh, yeah.

Michael Herst00:07:27

So, hey, we forgot to tell you about Georgia, Manny's first marriage. We Love that show. Spin off from Sheldon and George and Manny's first marriage is really, really good. The. The cast chemistry is, like, amazing.And, you know, the. The. Everybody that's. That that moved over from there is the only.The only actual people that moved over are Georgie and Mandy and of course, Mandy's mother.

Diane Herst00:07:52

Well.

Michael Herst00:07:52

And father.

Diane Herst00:07:53

Well, yeah, but they didn't move over from. Well, I guess they were in. Yeah, they were in the last two episodes of Sheldon.

Michael Herst00:07:59

Of Sheldon.

Diane Herst00:08:00

Correct.

Michael Herst00:08:01

And then now Georgie's mother from Sheldon is in a few episodes. I mean, so is actually Missy. Missy's in there for a few times too, which I think kind of, you know, adds a little bit to it. But never see Shelton.Will Sasso is, like, brilliant in it. And.

Diane Herst00:08:21

Yeah, I love Will Sasso. Well, just about anything.

Michael Herst00:08:25

The whole chemistry. The whole. Again, the whole chemistry of the cast. I mentioned earlier. I think they all. They meld together like they're really family.

Diane Herst00:08:32

Yeah.

Michael Herst00:08:32

And I really like that because you could.

Diane Herst00:08:34

Oh, my gosh. Her brother. Her brother cracks me up.

Michael Herst00:08:38

Yes.

Diane Herst00:08:38

I love him. And I love that they have a character that's basically neurod. Neurodivergent. So there's. There's representation there for a lot of people.And he's just so funny.

Michael Herst00:08:49

So. But that. That returns on February 26th.

Diane Herst00:08:53

Yes.

Michael Herst00:08:54

So I forgot to add. We forgot to add that to the. February 26th. I made the list, so I have to admit to it that it was me. But don't tell my wife.

Diane Herst00:09:01

Sure. He knows.

Michael Herst00:09:02

So the. And ghost. We love ghost ghosts, and we've talked about ghost before.It's the American version of the British version, which they actually kind of crossed them. They did a crossover with them last year. Yeah, last year they kind of did a little bit of a crossover with them for summer tonight.

Diane Herst00:09:23

Did I miss it?

Michael Herst00:09:24

Yeah.

Diane Herst00:09:25

Oh, how did I miss that?

Michael Herst00:09:28

I don't know, but it is. It is. That in itself also returns February 26th. And, you know, the concept is great. I think the characters are great.Every one of the ghosts are great. We've reviewed it before. We can review it.We'll review it again if, you know, if anybody, you know, wants to hear it again or will be happy to review it again because I think it's. They've already kind of got their groove now, and it works out really well.

Diane Herst00:09:53

Yeah. Still feel sorry for Jay, though, the husband who can't see the ghost.

Michael Herst00:09:57

He can't see the ghost. No, no. And then they're bringing in other characters that now that actually can go Yeah. I see ghost and here I am.

Diane Herst00:10:05

That's not fair to say.

Michael Herst00:10:06

Anyway.

Diane Herst00:10:07

Yeah, just. Just a thing.

Michael Herst00:10:09

And then one of our other favorites, which I think it was on Apple. Yes, tell them about it.

Diane Herst00:10:16

Oh, Jennifer Garner's. I guess it was a miniseries.

Michael Herst00:10:20

It's a series. It's a series because it's coming back for a second season.

Diane Herst00:10:23

Okay, Well, I guess that would be a series. The last thing he told me is coming back for season two on February 20th.

Michael Herst00:10:30

If you haven't seen that is a phenomenal story. It's a phenomenal.

Diane Herst00:10:34

And she's amazing. Just like. She's amazing in everything.

Michael Herst00:10:37

Yeah, yeah, she's real good.

Diane Herst00:10:39

It's a really great story. It's from a book, which I haven't read. I don't really read books. I should. But it's from a book, so I'm sure.I guess it follows the book pretty closely. I don't know. From what I've heard in the. When I'm.When I've watched interviews with her in it, she read the book first and then wanted to do the series. So I think this is her company, the Dark. And so anyway, season two of that.

Michael Herst00:11:05

It'S about a woman and her daughter.

Diane Herst00:11:07

Well, her stepdaughter.

Michael Herst00:11:08

Her stepdaughter. She's married to this guy. It's an absolute perfect environment, perfect marriage, perfect everything.And all of a sudden he kind of just disappears off the planet. Gone. You know, nobody knows where he's at.And then there's a lot more intrigued because the FBI's looking for him and, you know, some bad guys are looking for.

Diane Herst00:11:28

And then they come looking for her.

Michael Herst00:11:30

They come looking for her and the daughter. Yeah.So her and the daughter who hadn't bonded before are now bonding over this, the whole situation, and, you know, trying to find out what happened to the husband slash father. And it is. It is intense. And it's, you know. On the edge of your seat. Yes. Anything. Jennifer Gunner's in, you know, so good.I remember some of the first stuff she was in where she played a bimbo. You know where she was at the. Dude.

Diane Herst00:12:01

Was she in. Dude, where's my car?

Michael Herst00:12:02

She's. Where's my car? Yeah, she was the girlfriend and dude, where's my car?

Diane Herst00:12:07

But then Alias.

Michael Herst00:12:08

But then she hit on Alias.

Diane Herst00:12:10

Oh, wow, that was such a good show.

Michael Herst00:12:12

Between that and Peppermint when she did. Peppermint was good, too. You know. She's a badass.

Diane Herst00:12:17

She is.

Michael Herst00:12:18

She's just a badass in real life.

Diane Herst00:12:20

She's just so down to earth and real.

Michael Herst00:12:21

And she's the badass in real life.

Diane Herst00:12:23

She is. You just want to be her best friend.

Michael Herst00:12:25

Yeah.

Diane Herst00:12:26

So, Jennifer, if you. If you need another friend, another. Two friends, I'm here. No, just me.

Michael Herst00:12:31

No, no. Two friends. Two. You're learning Italian. Due.

Diane Herst00:12:37

No.

Michael Herst00:12:37

Yes.

Diane Herst00:12:39

No, no.

Michael Herst00:12:40

French. Ami.

Diane Herst00:12:44

Anyway. Okay, we're being silly. Anyway, we gotta get. I just. I just have to preface this. Our mood's kind of.

Michael Herst00:12:52

The Broncos lost.

Diane Herst00:12:53

Yeah. We're not going to the Super Bowl.

Michael Herst00:12:55

We're not going to Super Bowl.

Diane Herst00:12:56

And I'm very, very bummed, but more bummed about what's going on in the country. I just want to say we don't talk about politics on this because we try to keep it light and try to.There's enough stuff out there that we are seeing every day, so we try to keep this light where we don't talk about politics. But I'm gutted by what's happening in Minnesota, and I can't. I. I'm really. I'm really feeling it like everyone else, and I just can't.

Michael Herst00:13:21

And me.

Diane Herst00:13:22

And I'm real focused.

Michael Herst00:13:23

Me as well. Me as well. And, you know, from. I mean, this audience knows that I'm a retired police sergeant. And, you know, it is. We are a blue family, period.And I can. Excuse me. Absolutely without hesitation tell you that. What ice. Alleged ICE agents. I will say that because none of them are trained in.In any form of law enforcement. You know, they don't know what they're doing. They're just people that were.And there's validation for this that have just been said, okay, we'll give you a job. Here's your money, here's your badge, here's your gun, and go out and do your thing. And there's people who, you know, on there.It has been substantiated. The people on there that don't belong on there, that are felons and misdemeanor crooks and the people who participated in the January 6 thing.So I can tell you without hesitation that that does not represent a law enforcement officer not at.In this country, does not represent the integrity and the honor and the ability to protect and serve for the 99% or 98% of the law enforcement officers that are out there. So, you know, from. From me to you, from my family, to anybody out here listening in this community that does not represent law enforcement.And it's an atrocity that is taking place that just does not need to take a place. These individuals that have committed These crimes need to be accounted for. They need. They need. The victims need justice in this regard.So that's all we'll say? Yep, that's all we'll say. So let's get into March. March 1st. March 1st.

Diane Herst00:15:01

March 1.

Michael Herst00:15:02

March 1st. Well, the actor Awards, which last year it premiered on Netflix. It was their first live presentation of anything. It was first live, you know, kind.

Diane Herst00:15:13

Of a. I must have missed it.

Michael Herst00:15:14

No, you watched it. We watched it together. They had all the tables that was outside.They had a big TV screen in the middle behind them, and they had little tables in all these different rooms. And yeah, we watched it together. It's coming back. So it'll be March 1, 5pm the actor awards on Netflix. It is a live show. It'll be their second one.

Diane Herst00:15:36

Is it just for Netflix programming?

Michael Herst00:15:38

No, it's for all kinds of programming. So they call it the Actor Awards. Okay.

Diane Herst00:15:42

Don't know. I don't know that we needed another award show. And this is going from someone who used to really love award shows. I really used to get into them.And after last year's Oscars and the atrocities that happened with that, I. I'm kind of not really about them anymore.

Michael Herst00:15:59

Well, we'll see. And I think they. This. They made this less political.

Diane Herst00:16:03

Well, it's. Award shows are always going to be political, and it's going to be. Who spends money on. On advertising for their. For their shows and their people and.

Michael Herst00:16:13

Well, we. We. Look, we.

Diane Herst00:16:15

I just can't.

Michael Herst00:16:16

We went over the list for the Oscars, Oscars that are coming up, and, you know, the ones that got snubbed should not have been snubbed. The ones that got snubbed last year should not have got snubbed last year. The ones that won last year, in our opinion.Now you're talking to two people that have a passion for entertainment. I have a degree in digital media, you know, and it's all forms of it. Performance and art, performance.So from that perspective, as well as just enjoying this, I ran two. We ran two international film festivals and five screenwriting conferences. That's how much we love this industry.And the people that won last year should not have won. And the people that didn't win.

Diane Herst00:17:01

Not in every category.

Michael Herst00:17:02

Not in every category. We're just talking best pictures, certain categories. Picture, director, cinematography.

Diane Herst00:17:08

There was one movie that kind of overtook everything, and it was shocking.

Michael Herst00:17:11

That was an aura. We can just say it out loud. A Nora should not have won what they won. They should not have won what they won. Wicked was Pushed out.And they shouldn't have been because the cinematography and the direction and the set design, the set design, the costuming, everything was just like, phenomenal. But anyway, we may or may not watch the Oscars this year. We'll see.

Diane Herst00:17:32

I'm debating.

Michael Herst00:17:33

We'll miss our annual Oscar stuff. So anyway, then there's a new show coming on called Marshalls, so coming off cbs and, you know, we. It looks interesting. Looks. Looks fine.We, you know, we watch a lot of cop shows, so I'm always hesitant in the first place to kind of keep an eye on them, which we've talked about before. There's a few that I like. There's others. I kind of go, they just don't. I don't want to watch this because they portray cops. Like, like, they don't.Cops the way they really are. I don't portray. This wouldn't happen. That wouldn't happen. They wouldn't do this. They wouldn't do that.

Diane Herst00:18:09

The guy that stars in Marshalls, though, you. You watched him in something else.

Michael Herst00:18:13

I did. So I'm going to give it a try.

Diane Herst00:18:16

Well, what was it?

Michael Herst00:18:17

I don't know.

Diane Herst00:18:17

Oh, okay. Sorry. I thought you knew.

Michael Herst00:18:19

I still have the football game on my brain.

Diane Herst00:18:21

I don't want to.

Michael Herst00:18:22

I don't think so. Yes. I think it's going to be good. That's not the one with. No, CIA is. The one with.

Diane Herst00:18:32

Oh, no, CIA is.

Michael Herst00:18:33

Yeah, with the.

Diane Herst00:18:34

Tom Ellis. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Michael Herst00:18:36

But yes. So I'm kind of excited about it. It also premieres March 1, as well as Tracker comes back. We talk about it because they come back and we're.We love Tracker and we love Watson. So both of those are coming back. And you know, that in itself, that's going to be Sunday, March 1st. So it'll be a busy Sunday night. March 1st.

Diane Herst00:18:56

Busy Sunday night, you know.

Michael Herst00:18:57

Wow. Not too bad. March 2nd. There's a new show coming out March 3rd or March 3rd. Pardon me. RJ Decker. And RJ Decker.Nicole, our daughter who's been on the show with us before, youngest. She has watched the star of this on Grey's Anatomy. So any Grey's Anatomy fans out there, you'll kind of recognize this guy. And you know it. He's.He is a private eye, a P.I. he's got the. What I see in this is a little bit of Magnum PI because he's wearing Hawaiian shirts and he's got, you know, kind of a.Not really just a. Just a mustache, but he's got like. Like me. I don't have a full beard, but he's got something here.

Diane Herst00:19:41

So I, I see that. Yes, I agree with you.

Michael Herst00:19:44

Yeah.

Diane Herst00:19:44

Nicole and I also saw. And this is from the trailer. This is all the trailer, the commercial, whatever we saw. She and I get bad monkey vibes or bad monkey.

Michael Herst00:19:57

Yeah, yeah. Both of.

Diane Herst00:19:58

I remember you saying Magnum, bad monkey.

Michael Herst00:20:00

Yeah. Yeah.

Diane Herst00:20:01

I'm really looking forward to it.

Michael Herst00:20:02

So it's cross between that and that. So we're, we're going to watch that. That's coming out the March 3rd as well on ABC. 10:00pm Eastern Time.March 4th, young Sherlock, which if any of you watch Young Sherlock on Prime. Um, actually, I think is, it's a profound. I mean, I'm not sure if I fit into the age demographic, but I like a, a variety of shows.

Diane Herst00:20:25

Yeah, you don't, you don't watch all of your age. I, I don't type things.

Michael Herst00:20:30

I like entertainment, period entertainment. If it's good, I'll watch it. It doesn't matter what you watch.

Diane Herst00:20:34

Stuff that's made for kids.

Michael Herst00:20:35

Yeah. Except for Baby Shark, I don't watch that.

Diane Herst00:20:40

I don't think that's a show.

Michael Herst00:20:42

So it might be. Who knows?

Diane Herst00:20:44

I think it's a shock.

Michael Herst00:20:46

So anyway, and then Hollywood Squares, it's coming back on CBS with a new time.

Diane Herst00:20:52

Oh, it's so good.

Michael Herst00:20:54

Yeah. Yeah. We love Hollywood scores. And that's a production. Drew Barrymore's production company brought that back. And Flower Flower Films.

Diane Herst00:21:02

Films, I think is her company.

Michael Herst00:21:03

Yeah. Yeah. So she brought that back. She's the center square. And, you know, the amount of people, I think they've really loosened up this time.

Diane Herst00:21:11

Oh, gosh, they're loose. No, they're loose.

Michael Herst00:21:13

Yeah.

Diane Herst00:21:13

Yeah, they, they get right on the edge of what they can do on network tv.

Michael Herst00:21:17

Yeah, it works. And they have a nice variety of, of returning stars as well as new ones that are coming in and popping in. And you always get comedy.You get, you know, bantering. You get a little bit of everything. So that's good. You know, that's pretty cool, too.And then for you, Outlander star, or excuse me, you Outlander fans. Fans. Outlander's coming back. It's the final season March 6th. You can catch up with Outlander on Netflix, believe it or not, right now as well.So if you don't subscribe to Starz, but you do have Netflix, you can watch and catch up to Outlander on there, including Blood of My Blood, which is also. No, that might not be available on Netflix yet. They still might be on Stars but it'll be on Netflix soon as well.So it's coming back March 6th, and I'm kind of excited for it. Her and I started watching it in the beginning together. And then you kind of lost interest in.

Diane Herst00:22:14

I don't know why. I have absolutely no reason why I lost interest. I just did.

Michael Herst00:22:20

Well, it's a unique time travel. I mean.

Diane Herst00:22:22

Yeah. I love everything that it is. I typically love. I. There's absolutely no reason why. There's no. It's a great show. It was a great show.I just, for some reason lost interest. I don't know. And now I'm so behind. It would take me too long to catch it.

Michael Herst00:22:38

And you're Scottish and I'm Scottish.

Diane Herst00:22:39

I don't know.

Michael Herst00:22:40

Yeah, it's all about.

Diane Herst00:22:41

And I know my friend Wendy, if she ever watches this and knows that I started it and stopped it, she's never gonna forgive me because that is her show.

Michael Herst00:22:50

Well, and you know, the two main male characters have men and kilts. Men in kilts that I did not enjoy, which is. I think that's also one of Star wars, probably. Yeah, I think those.

Diane Herst00:23:04

I did not enjoy that one, which.

Michael Herst00:23:05

Is kind of fun. So Nikki did when she saw the one run butt naked into the ocean.

Diane Herst00:23:10

Well, I mean, I'm not saying I didn't enjoy that part. That part was good. But. Yeah, there was another. There was. There was something that was going on in several episodes that just turned me off to it, so.

Michael Herst00:23:21

Well, I think a Northie Woorboard would talk about it off air. Drop it off here. Besides. Yeah. Friday, March 6th, Outlander, the final season will be showing up on Starz again.But you can catch up on the first seasons, I think one through six. One through one through six or seven. You can catch up on Netflix.Thursday, March 12th for those of you, we don't watch these, but I know that they're very popular and watching the Nielsen ratings, I kind of.

Diane Herst00:23:49

I know a lot of people that watch them and they're very popular.

Michael Herst00:23:52

So Virgin river on Netflix and the Secret Lies of Mormon Wives on Hulu. All episodes are. Are available by then. Said all episodes will be available on that date. So you go back and catch up on what you haven't seen.And if you haven't, you can catch up on everything. I guess so be a little bit of everything.But anyway, we can't really say anything about Virgin river or the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives other than the two that showed up on Dancing with the Stars. On Dancing with the Stars. Yeah, that's the only connection we have to Mormon wives. Mormon wives.

Diane Herst00:24:24

I like them both. And they're great dancers.

Michael Herst00:24:27

They are great dancers. In fact, one of them now has a gig in Chicago on Broadway.

Diane Herst00:24:32

Yeah.

Michael Herst00:24:34

Sunday, March 15th, are the Oscars. It's 4:00pm Eastern, 7:00pm, 7:00pm Eastern, 4:00pm Pacific. Yeah, that's it. I just think about that for a second. Yeah, yeah, yeah.7:00pm Eastern, 4:00pm Pacific. Oh, yeah. I got a little backwards. I'm still thinking of the damn game.

Diane Herst00:25:01

I stopped thinking of the game.

Michael Herst00:25:03

Well, you weren't sure if we're going to watch the Oscars, but we'll, you know, if it comes up, it'll come up. But hey, if we start seeing the same pattern we did last year. Well, things were getting snubbed. That shouldn't get snubbed.

Diane Herst00:25:13

Yeah.

Michael Herst00:25:14

In crappy, shitty movies. End up on top, then. Yeah.

Diane Herst00:25:22

I have to. Okay, let me just say this. We watched Anora. Okay. I didn't mind the movie. I saw the appeal of the movie.It wasn't a horrible movie, but it was not a best picture movie or.

Michael Herst00:25:38

A Best director or best director or best cinematographer.

Diane Herst00:25:41

All the best that it won. It was not.

Michael Herst00:25:43

Yeah. Or Best Cinematographer.

Diane Herst00:25:44

That was what. Beyond pissed me off.

Michael Herst00:25:47

Yeah, me too.

Diane Herst00:25:48

Oh. So I don't know.

Michael Herst00:25:49

Oh, Best actor, too.

Diane Herst00:25:50

Yeah. Best Actress. Yeah. This. This, this year is gonna be a. We'll see.

Michael Herst00:25:58

We'll see. I don't know. For those of you that are Bachelorette fans.Sunday, March 22, Bachelorette returns with new people, new roses, new drama, new cutthroat, new who's going to walk away, who's going to get mad, who's going to, you know, spike somebody's wine again.

Diane Herst00:26:16

One that we stopped watching many, many seasons ago, but it is still very popular. We used to watch it. Ryan and Trista, man. First one, first Bachelorette. They're still. And they're still together. And we loved it.

Michael Herst00:26:28

They had to go through a little bit of counseling, though.

Diane Herst00:26:30

Yeah.

Michael Herst00:26:30

Last year. Last year they did.

Diane Herst00:26:31

Who doesn't?

Michael Herst00:26:32

Yeah. Yeah.

Diane Herst00:26:33

The world is hard. Anyway, so it is very popular. I did watch the first Golden Bachelor. I did watch that one.

Michael Herst00:26:44

You did watch that.

Diane Herst00:26:45

And the Golden Bag in the first Golden Bachelorette. I watched both of those.

Michael Herst00:26:49

And I'm not sure. I'm not sure how they're doing right now. I know that they. I know that they came back and did a. Another Golden Bachelor.And the response wasn't very strong because I guess the guy turned out to be very. Some things came out about him in his previous relationships or something.

Diane Herst00:27:11

I don't know. I. If they do another Golden Bachelorette, I think I would definitely watch that. I mean, I'm. I'm close to an age of that. That age.So it's interesting to me. I think it's cool to. To see an older generation be able to find love again. I think that's awesome.So if they do another Golden Bachelorette, I would probably do it.

Michael Herst00:27:34

Well, I mean, I didn't watch the whole thing, all the episodes, but I did watch a good portion of them. And I did have my favorites during the Golden Bachelorette. And I felt that. I felt that even in the Golden Bachelor, the old ambassador.Oh, we knew he.

Diane Herst00:27:50

We knew he picked the wrong one.

Michael Herst00:27:52

Right off, right off the bat. They got divorced. They got divorced like within three months after.

Diane Herst00:27:58

After they got married.

Michael Herst00:27:59

So they get this huge elaborate wedding on tv. On tv. Then they ended up divorcing anyway, which we could have foretold.

Diane Herst00:28:07

He should have picked the one that then was the next Golden Bachelorette.

Michael Herst00:28:10

Yes. And they would have.

Diane Herst00:28:11

Would have been happy, I think.

Michael Herst00:28:13

I'm sure they would, too. Anyway, so anyway, there's a new show coming out on Prime Video. Called Bait. I want to. I just want to, you know, kind of put that out there.I want to go. I want to watch that. And soon as I. I have no idea what it's about, I will do that. I will.I'll decide whether or not I want to do a thing on it or see if you want to come watch it. It's got some. The premise is a little bit. You may not like the premise. So. Okay. And I watch For All Mankind. That comes on Friday, March 27th.For All Mankind is on Apple TV. I started watching, Just got renewed again. Even though it's coming back. March 27, it was renewed for another season. Past that.It's a brilliant sci fi.

Diane Herst00:28:53

I don't think I've ever heard of it.

Michael Herst00:28:55

Yeah, it is.Basically, there's this group of astronauts and survivors that are trying to reestablish themselves in certain areas and they're trying to repopulate all mankind because mankind destroyed itself. So they're trying to kind of rebuild it. And it's interesting. So For All Mankind comes back on April. Excuse me. On Apple that time.And then, hey, we got to talk about this one, because we. We love this one.

Diane Herst00:29:28

Did we do an episode about this?

Michael Herst00:29:29

We did do an episode about Friends and Neighbors. Yeah. Your Friends and neighbors.

Diane Herst00:29:33

Friends and Neighbors.

Michael Herst00:29:33

We reviewed this on our show. Friends and Neighbors. And you know, Jon Hamm.

Diane Herst00:29:39

John Hamm.

Michael Herst00:29:40

Yeah, it's really good. So. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anything with John Ham, she'd be watching John Hammond. I'd be going, Diane, she's going, stop.

Diane Herst00:29:51

Go away.

Michael Herst00:29:54

No friends and neighbors. If you haven't watched it, you need to try to catch up with it on Apple tv.It's about a guy that is on top, gets knocked down, finds a way to come back on top, but through a very, very unique way of.

Diane Herst00:30:07

Not a very great way.

Michael Herst00:30:09

Not a great way, but a unique way of. Unique way. So to stay. To stay on top of that luxurious lifestyle that he's used to and his. His family's used to.

Diane Herst00:30:19

Yeah.

Michael Herst00:30:20

So it. It really is. Is kind of fun. It's got a great cast, too, you know, Apple tv. Really?

Diane Herst00:30:27

They do great with some cast.

Michael Herst00:30:28

Great with Cat. They do great with their series. Yeah, you know, the stuff that comes out and the stuff they put together and pull together.You know, Ted Lasso, shrinking. So I think it looks like if we ever need counseling, we're going to call up Harrison Ford, Jason Siegel. Right?

Diane Herst00:30:46

Yeah.

Michael Herst00:30:46

And say, hey, we need counseling.

Diane Herst00:30:48

Don't forget. Is her name Gabby?

Michael Herst00:30:53

Oh, yeah, Gabby or Gabby.

Diane Herst00:30:54

I'm sorry, I don't. I don't remember the actress's name. She's phenomenal. Yeah, she's one of the best. I love her so much. I just don't know her name.

Michael Herst00:31:03

I'm sorry. So I would go through counseling with those guys.

Diane Herst00:31:05

Yeah.

Michael Herst00:31:06

Yeah, that would be good. I think it would be good. So anyway, friends and neighbors, Apple TV on April 3rd. April 3rd. On April 8th, the boys. Not like my boy. It's the boys.Okay, that's kind of.

Diane Herst00:31:23

I didn't want. Nikki watches that.

Michael Herst00:31:25

Chicagoish, but not really. Dubois, no less. Dubairs.

Diane Herst00:31:30

Dubairs.

Michael Herst00:31:31

See a football still in my mind.

Diane Herst00:31:33

Stop with the football. I'm done.

Michael Herst00:31:35

Anyway, it's on Prime Video. It's going to be the final season. If you haven't watched it in the beginning, you should watch it from the beginning.If you haven't watched it since then. Actually, it's pretty good. It's about a bunch of superheroes that actually are employed by private corporations.And it is, I would say, if you think about, like, even now, money buys what they want, and corporations are now buying what they want. And without going into a political tirade, we find out that money buys a lot of things.So here they bought and paid for, basically superheroes, and they make it a business.So the boys actually is pretty good because what you see is a dynamic from the inside out of their own pitfalls, their own grievances with each other. You see all this? It's just good. You gotta watch it. So the boys prime video Final season, April 8th. Okay, it's good. And then April 10th.Do you guys remember? Do you remember Malcolm in the Middle?

Diane Herst00:32:47

Remember Malcolm in the Middle?

Michael Herst00:32:47

Malcolm in the Middle?

Diane Herst00:32:48

Yes, I did.

Michael Herst00:32:48

Yeah. Yeah. Malcolm in the Middle was great.

Diane Herst00:32:51

Yeah.

Michael Herst00:32:51

And in fact, the. The kid, the main kid lives here and has a business here in the Phoenix metro area. And you know, he is just starting to get back into tv.

Diane Herst00:33:04

Frankie Muniz.

Michael Herst00:33:05

Yeah, Frankie Muniz in TV and film anyway. But yes.

Diane Herst00:33:10

I'm sorry, is he in this?

Michael Herst00:33:12

He. I don't know. To be honest with you. This first time when I was doing.

Diane Herst00:33:16

This list, they said it was a reimagining the show.

Michael Herst00:33:19

Yeah. So I don't know. But Malcolm the Middle life's still unfair. It's kind of a continuation. Continuation or what could have been.I think with this with everybody in the cast, you know, and. And Patricia. Patricia Eaton. No, who, who was the mom?

Diane Herst00:33:37

I don't think I've seen her or anything for a long time. I can see her face.

Michael Herst00:33:41

Breaking Bad Guy, though.

Diane Herst00:33:42

Yeah. Bryan Cranston was.

Michael Herst00:33:44

Bryan Cranston also flies here to Arizona.

Diane Herst00:33:46

The actress that played the moment was in a lot of things back in the day. I don't think I've seen her anything lately.

Michael Herst00:33:53

It's. And the daughter, they had a spin off that they were going to do with the daughter and.

Diane Herst00:33:58

No, no, that was the middle.

Michael Herst00:33:59

Or no, that was the middle, wasn't it? Yeah, yeah. Never mind, never mind. See, I watched too much TV. Just too much. But April 10th. Any. Anybody? Malcolm in the Middle fan.Malcolm in the Middle life. Life still unfairs could be on Hulu. Sunday, April 12th, you euphoria fans. I'll be back on HBO 9pm April 16th. We love this too.This was a great know that was coming back. Coming back. Oh, I wanted to surprise you. You know I went through the list. Beef. Beef is great.

Diane Herst00:34:34

So good.

Michael Herst00:34:35

Yes.

Diane Herst00:34:36

Feels so good.

Michael Herst00:34:37

If you haven't watched Beef, you need to catch up with Beef on Netflix.

Diane Herst00:34:41

Watch.

Michael Herst00:34:41

Actually you want to know something? I haven't seen anything on Netflix about.

Diane Herst00:34:45

That's why I was so surprised.

Michael Herst00:34:46

Usually they have, you know, have it handy.

Diane Herst00:34:49

Are you sure it's coming back?

Michael Herst00:34:50

Yeah. This is Hollywood Reporter Man.

Diane Herst00:34:53

Well, Netflix where What's the wrong with you? Like show us some beef.

Michael Herst00:34:57

Well, word to be old commercial now we're aging ourselves.

Diane Herst00:35:04

Oh, yeah. Well, I'm sure everybody knows what that is.

Michael Herst00:35:06

That's Kevin and back on Netflix. But you got to watch, you got to watch the first.

Diane Herst00:35:11

Oh, my gosh.

Michael Herst00:35:11

You won't understand it if it comes back a star.

Diane Herst00:35:14

It won't make any sense unless you watch the first season.

Michael Herst00:35:16

Have to do it now. Yep. May 17, the ACM Awards on Prime Video.You know, it's interesting how a lot of these awards now are going to like Prime Video, Netflix, and you know, that kind of stuff. The World cup begins on Fox Sports. And you know, that is going to be June. Yeah. In June. Excuse me, June 11th is going to be the World Cup.And then for you Netflix fans of Sweet Magnolias is coming back.

Diane Herst00:35:44

I honestly thought it had been canceled, so I'm really happy. I wasn't even expecting it.

Michael Herst00:35:51

Well, you know, maybe they decided at the last minute to renew it and they have to go around and collect everybody again. That's why it's not until June.

Diane Herst00:35:57

That could be. Well, I mean, I can see where they still have some stuff to. Yeah, they still have some stories there. They do. Yay. Yay.

Michael Herst00:36:06

In the World Cup. You know, I, I, I want to watch the World Cup. I do.But with there's been some political twists that have been thrown into the World cup that I'm not really happy about or appreciative of. And I know that the ticket sales for the World cup have dropped dramatically because of that.And there are people that are trying to get their visas squared away to come here to play. And the government is turning down those visas, which is not on, which is unfair.Unfair to other teams that are, have worked their way to get themselves into the World cup and so forth, and they're denying those visas. So I'm not sure if I'm going to watch it or not watch it. You know, watch it maybe to support the teams that are there.

Diane Herst00:36:58

Yeah. Watching it kind of supports the teams.

Michael Herst00:37:00

Yeah. But at the same time, boycotting it says, you're doing the wrong thing here. Right. So kind of one of those things, that conundrum.Yeah, it is a conundrum. Yeah. And then we are Elle woods fans.

Diane Herst00:37:15

Yes.

Michael Herst00:37:15

Legally Blonde.

Diane Herst00:37:16

Yes.

Michael Herst00:37:16

We know the lady that the, that wrote legally blonde, 10 things I hate about you. I went to screenwriting school with her.

Diane Herst00:37:27

And had her out for the screenwriting conference.

Michael Herst00:37:28

Had her off at the screenwriting conference several times. Tell people how to write screenplays. But Elle woods is coming back and a prequel is called Elle going to be on prime video on July 1st.So I had to throw that in there because, I mean, look, it's July. It's July. But I was so excited to say, hey, wait till Caitlin hears, because maybe Caitlin hasn't heard yet.

Diane Herst00:37:54

She might not. Because she doesn't really watch a lot of TV and stuff. I don't. She was in the industry for a long time.If they had done this prequel 10, 15 years ago, she would have been in the running to bl.

Michael Herst00:38:08

Oh, absolutely.

Diane Herst00:38:09

She looks just like Reese Witherspoon. It's crazy. I don't know how we made somebody looks like Reese Witherspoon.

Michael Herst00:38:15

Me either.

Diane Herst00:38:16

We did. So, yeah. I wish that it could have been her because she loves Legally Blonde. She would have.

Michael Herst00:38:22

Oh, big time. And then we. We also have. What I did a couple of. I did some classes for acting and for. For casting and things like that and how. How to audition.And I brought out two of the stage people that were on Broadway.

Diane Herst00:38:38

Oh, yeah?

Michael Herst00:38:39

Yeah, they were on Broadway. The Broadway version of Legally Blonde. And they come out and help teach people.He teach them kids how to audition and adults how to audition and, you know, how to fine tune their monologues and audition, things like that. So, you know, we've got a history with that in some form or another. And in fact, one of the guy that came out, he adopted before they shut down the.The. The show. He adopted one of the. I don't remember the little dog. We. Several fans, but we remember the old dog's name.Remember the little Chihuahua dog, Right?

Diane Herst00:39:17

In the movie.

Michael Herst00:39:18

Yeah, in the movie.

Diane Herst00:39:19

He adopted the dog that was in the movie.

Michael Herst00:39:20

No, no, he adopted the dog that was in the stage play.

Diane Herst00:39:23

Oh. Oh, cool.

Michael Herst00:39:25

On Broadway. So this just went on stage play somewhere. It was actually on Broadway.

Diane Herst00:39:29

I can't remember the dog's name.

Michael Herst00:39:30

I don't remember the dog's name. Well, it's been a while since we've watched so cute though the show. So. Yeah, it was fun. Cool. So anyway, any last thoughts?

Diane Herst00:39:40

I can't. My brain is between what's happening in Minnesota and losing the game today and not going to the super bowl after all. My brain is mush.

Michael Herst00:39:51

It's difficult. Yeah, well, all I can say is if you love tv, watch for your favors to come back.I'll make sure there's a link to the Hollywood Reporter article that you can have access to that will give you the whole list of all the premiere dates and the times and the ones that we didn't mention. You might find other ones on there. That are your favorites or that you are embracing or want to embrace that we haven't mentioned.Go ahead and, you know, just follow that link. It'll take you right there. And we are not endorsed by Hollywood reporters.So when I mention Hollywood Reporter, it's just because that's where I obtained my information from. I've been reading a Hollywood Reporter for, I don't know, 30 years, probably more. Enough in subscription fees. We could probably own part of them.From that perspective, I guess you could call me a member.

Diane Herst00:40:43

We'd love to have you as a sponsor.

Michael Herst00:40:45

Yeah. Come here. I'm a member. So anyway, any last thoughts?
