How was Rescue Hi-Surf? Decided to take a pass on it as it sounds like a mashup of 9-1-1 and Baywatch, and I’m burning out on the 9-1-1 type shows.
Thanks for explaining the next episode won't be a repeat
It looked better than the 3 part Bee-pocalypse that started last night on 9-1-1.
CBS will be repeating the Matlock pilot aired last night. This is the initial Matlock schedule:
- Sunday, Sept. 22 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT): SNEAK PEEK of Premiere Episode (“Pilot”) following the season premiere of 60 MINUTES
- Thursday, Oct. 10 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT): ENCORE of Premiere Episode (“Pilot”)
- Thursday, Oct. 17 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT): CBS PREMIERE WEEK Episode Two (“Rome in a Day”)
Thanks for the explanation
No mystery: “Matlock” is a breakout hit

As said in another post your witticisms never disappoint!
I’m actually glad I was wrong and this may turn out to be more intriguing that I originally thought it was!
CBS has the first Matlock episode on youtube too:
and the Matlock reboot will actually have a much younger audience on Paramount+
Maybe. The platform itself skews younger, but that's just leading the horse to the water. The show, even though it doesn't lean on the original (apart from a running joke) is still pretty much 50+ comfort food.
the demographic that thinks streaming refers to prostate issues
🤣
Martin Short on "Only Murders in the Building":
"The show is like Steve (Martin) at the urinal. It streams for thirty-five minutes."
But seriously folks...
I'm 68. The only broadcast/cable shows my wife (61) and I watch are Maddow, Colbert, Seth Meyers and the Daily Show---and now Elsbeth and Matlock.
Literally everything else---like for the last decade---has been streaming.
I think if you're not a Luddite, 80's probably the mark at which you have to explain streaming---and it might be higher than that.
My in laws, north of that benchmark a tad, get streaming just fine and watch much content that way.
My grandpa is in his 90s and he streams shows all the time. He watches the news and some gospel shows on PBS, but I think that's all he watches on networks. He has Netflix, Amazon Prime and some other ones and he was showing his friends in the assisted living how it all works.
Seeing trailers I was getting a slight feeling of "The Rockford Files", a good person who can pull slight cons or falsehoods on who they are.
From watching Sunday, I hope they keep that portion of the show.
"It's ME! Your aunt Brenda..(fake cough) Got sick, lost a lot of weight. I just never thought you wouldn't recognize me..."
That's Jim Rockford!
