I watched the first episode of Adam’s Law yesterday and wasn’t too thrilled.

I have YouTube TV and I record almost all of the judge shows. I have thousands of episodes to watch.

Anyway, I went to watch the latest episode of “Equal Justice with Eboni K Williams” The show was labeled as such, and recorded from NY TV 10/55, which is another affiliate of CBS. Most of the CBS judge shows can also be seen here later in the evening.

So I start the judge Eboni show, but it’s a different episode of Adam’s Law. I didn’t want to watch it in case it’s the same episode that will be on today.

So in NYC, at least, we got TWO episodes of Adam’s Law on the shows premiere date.

I am watching S2E9, “And Now Sitting In For Ted Baxter”, where Mary has to tell Ted he has to take vacation. As she mentions to him that he hasn’t taken any vacation, Ted asks Mary if she wants coffee. Ted walks over to the coffee maker and picks up a cup and saucer. He starts to pour the coffee into the cup, then the angle changes, and Ted is pouring the coffee into a mug with his name on it.

This just started tonight. I’ve been watching The Mary Tyler Moore show for a few days. Now, suddenly, the FireStick is stretching the picture to fill the screen. I have watched lots of old TV shows I bought on Prime Video that are 4x3 over several years and they always displayed correctly. Now, no matter what I watch in 4x3 format is being stretched to fill the screen. I’ve discovered that if I switch to a show that is actually widescreen, then go back to the 4x3 shows, it then displays correctly.

My tv is set correctly, and I have the FireStick set to 1920x1080 display. I even changed it to AUTO, but that didn’t help.

How do I stop this?

I have a Kensington USB 3 card reader connected to my Win 11 custom build PC via one of the back USB 3 (blue) ports.

I use SanDisk SD and micro SD cards exclusively. They have always worked perfectly for me.

I have 2 SanDisk ultra 128GB class 10 A1 U1 cards that I use in my 2 Sony HD camcorders. After I make my videos I transfer the MP4 files to my pc, inserting them into the micro SD card slot of the Multi card reader.

Sometimes I have to insert the card multiple times before it will read it. But the real annoyance is when I copy the files to my pc, most of the time I get a transfer speed of 90GB a second. However, sometimes the files only transfer at half that speed, 45GB a second. I will eject / reinsert the card several times but I still get the same 45GB transfer speed.

I use both cameras for most of my YouTube videos. Tonight I copied the files from 1 card, and try as I might, it wouldn’t copy faster than 45GB/sec. After those files were copied, I ejected the disk and put the 2nd card in the reader, where the files copied at the full 90GB/sec.

Can anyone tell me why sometimes the copy speed only happens at half the sped?

These are newish cards. I get new ones once a year.

I find it hard to understand how Mary & Phyllis became such good friends. They are complete opposites and seemingly have nothing in common. In one episode Phyllis mentions she’s 43, when Mary says she’s 34. That’s a 9 year age difference, so it’s not likely that they were school chums. Phyllis grew up in San Francisco while Mary grew up in Roseburgh Minnesota. It’s not likely they would have crossed paths in the past., yet the show portrayed them as being old friends. We were never told how they became such good friends.

Any ideas as to how they would have become such good friends. Phyllis knew Mary’s fiancé well enough for him to call her and spend 45 minutes on the phone with her. How did he have Phyllis’s number and how would he know to call Phyllis to get in touch with Mary. When Mary left him, she didn’t know where she would be living. Also, Mary doesn’t seem to have known Bess, as portrayed in the first episode. If Mary & Phyllis were such good friends, Mary would have surely known Bess. It just doesn’t make sense.

I’ve got a Firestick 4K Max. My Tv is from around 2014, but it’s a full 1080p Vizio.

Every so often, I turn on the TV and when the banner comes on screen it shows 720p. I have to unplug the Firestick and remove it from the TV, reinsert it and plug it in to reset it back to 1080p. If I don’t, everything I watch is in 720p.

Why does my Firestick keep changing resolution to 720p, and there any way to prevent this? I’ve already manually set the screen resolution to 2080p 60 Hz in settings.

In “Lucy and Superman” Lucy and Caroline Appleby are arguing over who is going to change their child’s birthday party. Lucy tells Caroline that Ricky Jr. was born on a Thursday at 11AM.

But he wasn’t. Little Ricky was born after 9 PM. If you recall from “Lucy Goes To The Hospital”, Ricky had a show to do at 9PM and he tells Lucy he will give her until 8:30 to give birth. Ricky puts on his makeup while at the hospital but has to leave to make his 9PM show. He is in the middle of performing when Fred calls him at the club to tell him the baby arrived. So the birth took place some time after 9PM. It could not have happened at 11AM. It also most likely not on a Thursday but probably on a Tuesday, because Ricky was premiering a new show. Since Ricky is off on Sunday and Monday, wouldn’t he have premiered a new show on the first day of his working week, Tuesday?

I was today years old when I figured this out. I’m 63 years old and have been watching “I Love Lucy” just as long.

It has always bothered me that between “Lucy Visits Graumans” and “Ricky sells the car” the location of the Mertzes hotel room door switched from the left of the screen to the right of the screen.

I’m watching “Ricky Sells the Car” now, and it just hit me. The Mertzes are in a different room because they checked out when Fred bought the motorcycle and they were leaving to head back to New York.

But now I have a new thing to annoy me. The Mertzes checked out and in 5 minutes, give or take, they decide to stay when Ricky agrees to buy their train tickets. Why couldn’t they just get their own room back? It’s not like they can book a room to someone else the minute the guests in that room check out. Also, who paid for the room when they checked out? It’s not like a hotel lets you check out and then sends a bill later. Maybe that’s how it worked back then?

But normally you have to pay upon checkout, and I always thought Ricky was paying for the Mertzes room. Fred had a seizure upon losing the money for the motorcycle. I can’t see him forking over the cash for a 3 month Hollywood hotel stay. They would have requested Ricky to pay the Mertzes bill upon their checkout and the Ricardos would have known the Mertzes were leaving.

Fred is such a skinflint I can’t see him agreeing to a trip to Hollywood if he had to pay for his lodging. Heck, he declined to go when Ricky asked him to share the gas expenses.

Edit: Yes, it is a different room. The original room the Mertzes were in was 317. In “Ricky sells the car” when Lucy runs out of the room after being caught tangled up with Fred, we see the room number is 372.

I had a joint account with my mother, a passbook account. When she moved down south with my sister the bulk of the account was put into a new account jointly with my sister. Her instructions were always that if she passed, my sister and I would split the balance.

My mother passed last year and my sister got the entire balance, which she immediately put into a high yield savings account. My sister is coming up north in a few months and she will give me a cashiers check for my half, which is about $52k.

I’ve had my Chase accounts for a good 15 years or so (I used to work for Chase until I was laid off about 4 years ago). Am I going to have any trouble depositing a check that large into my account?

I know she’s getting up in age, but watching Happy’s Place and it seems like Melissa Peterman is pregnant. She’s been wearing loose tops for a while now, and they dedicated a few episodes to Gabby wanting to have a baby, so I just assumed she was pregnant adding that story line, her loose tops, and her abdomen getting bigger.

On the last episode Gabby turned to the side and her abdomen is really jutting out. Everything I find on the internet says she is not pregnant. So why does she stick out like that?
