REVIEWS:

Yochanan reviewed a show on Paramont Plus called 'Beavis & Butthead Do the Universe' as actually pretty decent & made him laugh. He was pleasantly surprised & liked it;
and he reviewed a book called 'First Through Time' by Rex Gordon from 1962 as a time travel story & he really liked it & thinks it was very much worth buying;
and he reviewed the Netflix series 'The Umbrella Academy', season 3 & recommends seeing seasons 1 & 2 first - and he really enjoys the series & well worth the streaming service cost for it

Howeird reviewed a strange CNN nature & science show on Patagonia & a whaling problem they are having there & thought it was worth full price, being on cable; & Sandra followed on that whale research is fascinating

and he reviewed shows on Shark Week as there were many shows that are interesting, especially the show where Tiffany Haddish swims with the sharks = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo71w38LKlE & he prefers the slant of educational programs, rather than just fear-mongering & worth full price as part of basic cable

Gayle reviewed watching a ST Voyager rerun, 'Shattered' & said they had bad cable reception for it, but info on the episode can be found at = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shattered_(Star_Trek:_Voyager) & there was some discussion
