Mike Rowe is back with Dirty Jobs. Love the show and he is very funny. On the new Magnolia channel. Used to be DIY.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching Welcome to Earth on Disney+ with Will Smith.

I forget Jerry. Sorry. Probably on that 2014 SL63? Or maybe the 300SL. I'm watching them both. That's watching, not bidding.

I certainly have nothing to say on the 300SL other than having seen one once at Hatch &sons.
It might have been the SL63. one of my more benevolent comments.
I also bid on a few of late.
the 450SLC, i bid 5 it sold for just shy of 20K.
The 2000 SL600 with 16k miles, I bid 20 it sold for 75k.
I'm sensing a trend here.

I watched The Wheel of Time on Amazon Prime and was surprised at how well it was done. Good series imho. Recently decided to start watching Blue Bloods and have enjoyed it so far. I never had watched any of the episodes before so had to begin with Season 1. It is better than I thought it would be.

We've watched Blue Bloods for the start as well as All Creatures Great and Small from the start. Enjoy both.

Based on your recommendation my son and I have been watching OZ. So far we've gotten through the first 4 seasons. We are waiting for Season 5 DVDs from the Library.

Oz is a very difficult show to watch. Many of the scenes are very graphic, there is much violence, and some of it is hard to believe. It is, to say the least, a very gritty show. Still, it's like watching the late night movie that you started and because you started it you have to see it through to the end. The acting is good, the storyline is captivating even if sometimes hard to believe, and the character development is good. Many of the happenings are predictable, but there are some surprises. Quite a number of the actors and actresses also appeared in The Wire. I imagine these are people who are under contract to HBO.

More after we finish Season 5 & 6.

Yes I know exactly what you mean. I've watched it through twice, whenever I recommend it I always make it a point to let the person know that it is extremely graphic.
Back when it was in production my sister went to her high school reunion and one of her friends walked in looking very different, he had a shaved head and just looked different overall. She asked him why he shaved his head and he replied he was acting in a HBO series called OZ. She had never seen it so when she came over my house she wanted to see a scene with him in it, he is the actor who played the character Robson so it wasn't easy finding a scene that I felt comfortable showing my sister!

Did anyone watch The Mayor of Kingstown? It was a gritty and interesting program. Jeremy Renner was outstanding in this series.
