What was the last TV show you watched?

Ha! How serendipitous that this thread popped back up in my notifications! I'm watching a show called "How Clean is Your House?" I used to watch it years ago with my sister religiously, once per week, a double episode on Channel 4, 20(ish) years ago. "Quick quick! Its time for Kim and Aggie!" She'd say 😸 Fun times 😺 Not for the faint of heart though sometimes!


Watching it now as an older and wiser person, I think there's a slight element of unintended exploitation, the people whose houses were in need of such a huge amount of cleaning likely had some amount of mental health issues. But I have to be honest, its rather satisfying to see the lovely clean houses at the end of the show.

Also timely in that it was announced today that Kim Woodburn has died, aged 83.

Last programme I watched was The Inheritance (on catch-up).

Oh wow! I did see she had died on the YouTube feed but I didn't know it was literally today! 😿 Such a shame as she seemed like such a bubbly, gentle person who could just cheer you up in a minute. Its always sad but I'm glad she lived to a good age. I'm sure she made many people smile in those 83 years 🙂

I remember seeing some toy adverts for this; didn't realize it had a show, though.

It aired as part of a program called My Little Pony 'n Friends. Some days it was either Moondreamers, Potato Head Kids, or Glo Friends after the My Little Pony segment.

Moondreamers was short lived because the toyline bombed. The cartoon's okay, but not as good as the 80's My Little Pony cartoon.

Makes me think of shows like Ring Raiders, Sectaurs and Vytor, The Starfire Champion - where they only got four or five episodes due to heavy competition - although considering it was the 80s and there were a lot of cartoons with toy tie-ins, it makes sense that there were sadly losers in the 'game'.

For Moondreamers, it only had 16 episodes. I mean, I like the setup and the toys were cute, but the cartoon was kinda mediocre. It was missing a lot of things that even the old My Little Pony show had.

I'll have to concede to your knowledge in that situation as I've never watched MLP nor Moondreamers (and I'm likely not the right target audience for either of them in any case).
 
I binged and finished, Squid Games.

Whispers that I heard months ago...I now know to be truth.
 
An episode of The Twilight Zone TV series from the 1950s.

More specifically, the episode I watched was "The Obsolete Man" - which stars Burgess Meredith as Romney Wordsworth; a man living in a tyrannical society referred to as "The State" who has been declared obsolete due to his job as a librarian no longer been necessary (the State has eliminated books) among other reasons.
Sentenced to die within 48 hours by the cruel Chancellor (played by Fritz Weaver) who vehemently worships the State and all the cruelty it stands for, however, Romney has one last trick up his sleeve before his inevitable passing to make a final act of defiance against the Chancellor and the State itself.

The episode itself is well done and the back-and-forth between Meredith and Weaver makes for great television. Also, I love Rod Serling's haunting intro to the episode:

"You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time.
It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super-states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace.

This is Mr. Romney Wordsworth, in his last forty-eight hours on Earth. He's a citizen of the State but will soon have to be eliminated, because he's built out of flesh and because he has a mind.
Mr. Romney Wordsworth, who will draw his last breaths - in The Twilight Zone."
 
Season three of "Orphan Black" (BBC) AMC+

Still quite a wild ride of a group of women fighting for their independence, all with one common consideration. They are biological clones of one another, with some serious and sinister entities always after them for scientific and financial gain.
