In the late fall of 2012, Theo Padnos, a struggling American journalist, slipped into Syria to report on the country's civil war and was promptly kidnapped by Al Qaeda's branch in Syria. Because he spoke fluent Arabic, his captors suspected he worked for the CIA and, for months, brutally tortured him during interrogation sessions. But his fluency, coupled with his remarkable personal expansiveness, also led to an extraordinary engagement with, and understanding of, his captors. By the time of his release, twenty-two months later, he had become a confidante of al-Qaeda's top commander in Syria
"60 Days In" on A&E. People volunteer to do 60 days county jail as a real inmate. The other inmates have no idea that these ppl are there by choice. Most people quit after a few days. Lots of fighting and drugs. Interesting to see how quickly the inmates pick up on a newbie.
Gave Powerless a go recently and enjoyed it. Clearly wasn't going to win any awards or anything but I found it pretty entertaining. Too bad it couldn't even make it 1 full season...Man, I must like/enjoy really shitty shows.
It makes me sad The Great Indoors is likely getting cancelled while CBS keeps some utter crap like 2 Broke Girls and Kevin Can Wait.
The Great Indoors is decent, which is surprising considering 99% of CBS comedies are complete shit. But really it's only decent in comparison to the other CBS shows.
Great Indoors officially canceled http://tvline.com/2017/05/13/the-great-indoors-cancelled-cbs-no-season-2/ Just finished up the now series finale. Would have been nice to see how Clark and Emma works out (if Clark ever stops being a bitch) and how long it would take Jack and Brooke to get back together.
I'd love to see another network save this show. It was better than most of the shit CBS kept and certainly looks better than the bigger shit they're bringing in for the fall, namely the Big Bang Theory prequel show Growing Up Sheldon.
I haven't even really kept up with the stuff coming this fall, any good site or youtube channel with TV trailers? Aside from the network's youtube channels.
