I've seen only a few episodes of the last two seasons of Friends (after Emma's birth) and I'm okay with that.

The Charlie Brown holiday specials (Halloween, Thanksgiving, and, of course, Christmas) will not be getting network airplay this year. Instead they will be found on AppleTv.
I don't know why this makes me a little sad but it does.

I'd rather they use 4:3 than stretch it out to fit the widescreen.

Millennium: Lance Henriksen Teases the Cult Classic Show's Potential Return
Veteran actor Lance Henriksen asked Millennium fans if they would like to see the paranormal series return after ending over 20 years ago.
In back-to-back tweets, actor Lance Henriksen suggested the potential return of the television show, Millennium.
In the first tweet, Henriksen, who played Millennium's lead character Frank Black for three seasons, asked his followers, "Would you like to see #Millennium return? Let us know!" The following day, on Oct. 22, the actor posted a clip from a documentary from Millennium Season 3 in which he expressed his wish that Millennium's creator, Chris Carter, would turn the series into a movie. "I've done a lot of movies over the years, but that one just still haunts me," Henriksen said in the short video. In his tweet, he wrote, "The words in this clip still ring true today."
Millennium premiered on FOX in 1996 and ran for three years before ending in 1999. In the series, Henriksen played Frank Black, a former FBI agent who became a freelance forensic profiler. The character has a hereditary mental gift, which manifests in him having the ability to see into a criminal's mind. The series' title comes from the Millennium Group, a shadowy investigative organization.
Under Chris Carter's leadership, the first season of Millennium focused on Black hunting serial killers. When Carter left to work on The X-Files, Glen Morgan and James Wong took over production for Season 2 and shifted the series' focus to government conspiracies and exploring the Millennium Group. Carter returned as the showrunner for the third season with the goal of bringing the focus back to its Season 1 roots. The series ended with a cliffhanger, though Henriksen would reprise his role in an episode of The X-Files titled, "Millennium," which served as a series finale with more closure.
In addition to his role in Millennium, Henriksen is known for playing the android Bishop in the Alien franchise. The actor, whose first credited role came in 1972, currently has several films either in post-production or waiting to be released.
I remember loving the first season and being aghast when Season 2 was like a totally different show. I guess this is why....different show runners. I can't remember if I stuck with it.

All I can think of when I see Biden is how old he looks. There is no way he survives 4 years.
