Psych marathon started Thursday April 16, 2020 at 6 AM. Cable TV's USA channel is running all the episodes for Season's 3 and 4 in order continuously until 2:00 PM on Friday April 17, 2020. USA will show the next two seasons in another marathon starting next Thursday morning.
The Wikipedia page has a long list of songs and artists (at the bottom) who used the Wrecking Crew. In the documentary, one of the artists said that his band tried to record the music themselves, and took over 100 takes to get it right. The Wrecking Crew could do the same work in an hour. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wrecking_Crew_(music)
Wrecking Crew member Carol Kaye said in the documentary that she still gets a tear in her eye when she hears the unique music cue she improvised for one of Glen Campbell's hit songs.
Wichita Lineman (1968)
Galveston (1969)
By the Time I Get to Phoenix (1967)
The Wrecking Crew is a 2008 documentary that didn't get released until 2015. It took that long to get the rights to air the clips from the many songs featured. Glen Campbell is prominently featured and interviewed. He hired his Wrecking Crew colleagues to help him on his first solo albums.
I don't think I started watching this until it had been on for several years. I haven't seen any of the Season 1 and 2 episodes in this COVID-19 marathon.
Psych is similar to Monk in that there is usually a big speech at the end, revealing the criminal and how the crime was done. But Psych has a lot more subtle humor in every episode.
James Roday has said COVID-19, so they made the stay-at-home videos for this. They are repeating some of their comments, though. They didn't make enough for a marathon, Lassie.
I've never heard of a home mortgage loan with a term longer than 30 years. So the house should have already been paid off.
Originally, savings and loan associations held mortgages, not banks. The deregulation of the banking industry in the 1970s destroyed the S&L's. A bank might now be a service agent for whoever invested in the mortgage. Sounds like this crooked bank was continuing to collect on a mortgage that was already paid in full.
[quote]The situation was, she had paid her mortgage for 30 years, had plenty of equity in the home, and therefore was certain to pay off her mortgage with interest eventually, at best (for her) after she made her final payments, at worst (for her) at a later foreclosure. There was no risk, to the bank, in a little further delay. They could afford to show some consideration to a sick old woman who had made every payment for 30 years.
The bank was merely being predatory. Mr. Jacks wanted to force a sale of the home during a down-market (allowing them to "sieze the trapped equity"); and also to make a sizeable amount in fees (meaning they are overcharging, since foreclosure fees are merely supposed to compensate, not serve as an incentive).
Their investment was not otherwise at risk; and Ganush, by all appearances, was in the midst of a genuine medical hardship.[/quote]
In addition to Hulu, it's also on EPIX and Prime Video.
If you have Comcast/Xfinity, they currently have a free preview of EPIX through April 19, 2020, for the coronavirus.
Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes character has a theatrical Walking Dead movie in the works. It will show what happened to him when he left in a helicopter.

So they probably don't want to kill off characters, if they can make more money with movies or use them in a spinoff series.
My theory was that Chandler Riggs and his agent wanted too much money to continue. Declining ratings means killing off characters with salary demands.

You could pay a flat 69 cents per call or use a monthly subscription. In 2004 only two to three people were using the Airfone service per flight. Verizon Communications, Airfone's parent company, discontinued service on all commercial flights by the end of 2006. Removing the phones reduced weight and fuel.
Airfone's primary competitor was Air One, operated by an AT&T Wireless division, and was available onboard American Airlines, Northwest Airlines, and select Delta Air Lines aircraft. The Air One service was discontinued in 2002.
Many of the in-flight calls made by victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist hijacking attacks were made over Airfone and Air One.

"[There were] suspicions that Spielberg had been heavily influenced by Richard Matheson's short story and later "Twilight Zone" episode "Little Girl Lost." [Season 3, Episode 26, March 16, 1962]
In fact, in a 1982 interview with "Twilight Zone" magazine, Matheson stated that Spielberg had once shown an interest in adapting that story as a film. It would later be rumored (but not confirmed) that Matheson was hired to write the "Twilight Zone" movie (and given a percentage of that film's box office) partly in an effort to head off any potential suit over "Poltergeist."
"...Matheson: Well, POLTERGEIST was inspired by one of mine, and I never got credit for it. Matheson: Well, I don’t even know if using “Little Girl Lost,” and kind of taking some of it for POLTERGEIST… god, he must have felt guilty or something. Because he hired me as the creative consultant on AMAZING STORIES, and I didn’t do too well on that..."
"But he called me and sent me a copy of the script for REEL STEEL, although as I recall it was not the same as it was in the movie. He asked me “Does it resemble your script for STEEL?” It did, and I told him so. So then they paid me money for it, which they probably wouldn’t have done otherwise...Yeah, I have an odd relationship with Steven.....But we have always had a very amiable relationship."
Wish granted. As another thread pointed out, SyFy is airing a 24-hour Twilight Zone marathon which began March 31, 2020 and ends at 6:00 am on April Fool's Day.
Many places have "Stay at home" government orders to combat the coronavirus.
One book cited in your link is Gerald Posner's "Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK (1993)". He thoroughly investigated the case.
As the book explains, the day before the assassination, Lee Harvey Oswald would have seen the local newspaper's published parade route for Kennedy's visit to Dallas in the office lunch room. It put the car directly under the windows at the Texas School Depository the next day.
That's why Oswald got a ride to where his wife was staying in the suburbs that night. (He had no car or driver's license.) He went to get his rifle, and he didn't even have a full clip of ammunition. He had to use what he had. If there was a conspiracy, why would he only have a partial clip of ammunition? There was no plan, just an impulsive act by Loser Oswald to become famous.
CBS has had TV shows documenting audio evidence and 3D computer animations to prove that there was only one shooter, and that Oswald fired all the shots. His first shot missed and hit a curb, and piece of it hit a man in the cheek, per Posner's book.
A cable TV station that regularly aired conspiracy theory shows had a man claiming on camera that he was a shooter from the grassy knoll. Posner proved that this man was in Alaska on the day of the assassination. Posner also found a witness who had actually looked up and saw Oswald fire the shots.
The link in the OP's post refers to a small amount of money that Oswald had on him after the shooting. Posner's book explains that Oswald had just enough money for bus fair to get him to the Cuban embassy in Mexico. He left the rest of his money with his wife, along with his wedding ring, since he didn't expect to come back.
Many speculate that Oswald hoped to impress Cuba by his assassination of Kennedy, and that they would accept and protect him. He was walking in the direction of the bus stop that could take him to the Cuban embassy, when he encountered and murdered a cop. Oswald was the only employee who was missing from the Texas School Depository, when roll was taken after the assassination.
Oliver Stone is an irresponsible moron, who likes to make things up in his films about real people. LBJ's family should have sued him for libel.
Hand sanitizer is ineffective unless it is 70% alcohol. Most of them are only 62% alcohol. (SPOILER: THAT'S how it will spread in the sequel!)
Cable TV's MeTV channel showed this film on its Saturday night Svengoolie show. SPOILERS: In this film, had Harker killed Dracula first, the female vampire presumably would have been cured, and Harker would have survived.
Bram's Stoker's 1897 Dracula novel does not remotely create this fate for Harker's character. In the novel, Harker is with the team that dispatches the vampire at the end.
I know four girls aged 7 to 9 who used to be fans of Jojo. They don't care about her anymore, and no longer watch her self-absorbed videos. Her merchandise is getting big discounts in stores that carry it.
I don't know why Negan didn't kill Alpha at his first opportunity. How many people died in the meantime.
I also did not buy the Whisperer's attack with bows and arrows and napalm. The whole thing seemed like Negan would have organized it.
I've never bought the entire arc of the Whisperers. What do they eat and how do they collect food without being attacked by the Walker herd? How do they create any distance from the Walkers herd to do anything they've done on TV? How do they sleep or wash without being eaten by Walkers? Without washing, they'd be infected with painful boils, develop high fevers, and die without draining them surgically.
Why would the Whisperers want to live like dirty nomads in the rain and mud. If they had the means, they could take over places like Alexandria and live in comfort.
