Posted on January 22, 2021 by awtraughber

I recently mentioned how new TV had picked up some over the last week or two.  Compared to every other night of the week, Sunday is doubly-blessed.  Here’s the preview for this Sunday’s new episode of All Creatures Great and … Continue reading →

Vistas Great and Small

Posted on January 11, 2021 by awtraughber

I have to confess, it was a little different watching a show with a relatively humane sense of humor and a low rating on violence.  But there was something very good about the first episode of All Creatures Great and … Continue reading →

Go for the Landscape, Stay for the Landscape

Posted on January 9, 2021 by awtraughber

One of the side-effects of lockdown has been the transformation of my Twitter feed into a running journal of hiking through the Lake District and the highlands of Scotland.  Which means I’m pretty excited about All Creatures Great and Small … Continue reading →

End-of-Month Double-Whammy

Posted on October 26, 2020 by awtraughber

In all of the hubbub about the return of The Mandalorian to Disney+ this weekend, I almost missed the planned release of Truth Seekers on Amazon Prime.  The big draw, of course, is that it’s a Simon Pegg/Nick Frost series.  … Continue reading →

It’s difficult to believe that it was just under a year ago that we were finally introduced to The Mandalorian on Disney+.  And now we’re just a couple of weeks (or less!) away from the beginning of the show’s second … Continue reading →

Interrogation Time

Posted on October 17, 2020 by awtraughber

My afternoon television comfort food these last few months has been Brooklyn 99.  It’s got some great one-liners but doesn’t necessarily have as much “character evolution” as other sitcoms (which is a weird metric, I know).  I think I’ve shared … Continue reading →

Race Starting and Stopping

Posted on October 15, 2020 by awtraughber

Resuming the Race

Posted on October 6, 2020 by awtraughber

After twenty-two months since filming completed, the newest season of The Amazing Race is almost ready to air.  Good grief!  But better late than never.  After having a number of two-cycles-a-season years and being moved to one-cycle-a-season, the show’s 32nd … Continue reading →

Second Season Sensation?

Posted on September 15, 2020 by awtraughber

At this point, there will only be two new television shows for me as the “fall season” begins.  And one of those, the latest season of The Amazing Race, has been in the can for at least a year.  The … Continue reading →

The Lesson of Enoch’s Ending

Posted on August 31, 2020 by awtraughber

I’m about two-thirds of the way through the rough draft of my chapel talk for next week (which I hope to record tomorrow).  We’ve spent the last two weeks talking about friendship with God.  I’ve done a little more personal-anecdote … Continue reading →
