MoanDay

Alrighty everyone back to work. Or school. Or whatever. Monday is come round again and there ain't not a thing can be done about that. You see, Mondays happen. As do Tuesdays then Wednesdays than...you might be able to catch my drift. In the further adventures of Philias Fogg (aka Around The World In Eighty Days airing on PBS), the intrepid trio was saved from off'n the island they'd been stranded on. Ms. Figg and the valet Passepartout seemed on the verge sucking face but the trio (Philias Fogg, Abigail Fix, and Passepartout the valet and his first name is Jean) were saved and we the viewers were sparred a moment of forbidden love. You see the valet Passepartout is black and Ms. Figg is white and the 'Around The World In Eighty Days' tele-adventure is portrayed in the "Victorian era." Snobbery and racial bias is everywhere. British television's very own Dr. Who is portraying Philias Fogg. That would be David Tennant. The actor and not some on-the-fly renter. Or squatter. You know tenant? Anyway the group is on to the America's which should be equally exciting as were the first six episodes. Actually and by the way, 'Around The World In Eighty Days' is some pretty dang fine television programming. There's very little quality television these days and to find something worth watching is refreshing. I saw the original ATWIED a way back when and this new and improved version is, well, new and vastly improved. I can watch David Tennant in just about anything. Tennant was brilliant as the tenth Dr. Who. Tennant was also brilliant as the demon Crowley in 'Good Omens'. The British are quite good at producing and airing television that's worth watching. I can't wait for a new season of 'Endeavour' if we here in America are lucky enough to be able to see it. Watch it? A new season of 'Endeavour' isn't connected to ATWIED but it's British television and that about says it all. Good stuff there boy. So that's about it for a Monday and I'll be moving on now to the machine art segment of today's program.

I think I could have made a dang fine television critic. I can criticize with the best of the best. 😎
