What did you watch?
Masters golf Day 3, soaps, and a Lifetime flick:
soaps: DOOL - Stephanie is pretty clearly suffering from PTSD, and now
wants a gun. Johnny rats out Kate's treachery to everyone. Maggie goes toe-to-toe with Xander about his and Kate's scheme against Johnny.
NuPhilip and NuGabi move into the Kiriakis mansion, which causes Sarah
to worry that Xander will lose it over this (he didn't).
GH - Mostly about NuNuJordan's grievous injuries from the car
accident - they still haven't revealed who caused the accident: I dunno
if Danny is really eliminated as a suspect, but both Brook Lynn and
Isaiah are in the mix. And right after Carly and Valentin sort of
declare their feelings for each other, Carly takes Jack Brennan to bed
to continue to keep him on the hook - Valentin leaves in a huff!
I Have to Kill My Husband (Lifetime) - This was actually pretty good,
though I felt it had tonal problems where the first third is kind of
jokey, until the husband gets kidnapped when it suddenly becomes deadly serious. Anyway, at least they did have a twist in here, as it seemed
most obvious that the mean neighbor lady was setting Our Heroine(tm) up,
so I'm glad they went in another direction, even if it was the patented Lifetime direction!

Hey, thanks for asking.
I have TV but no guide so I just pretty much leave it on TCM unless I could find a western channel. Saw the Troy Donahue marathon.

What?s worse she didn?t know who Sandra Dee was or that she was a real
person and then she understood the song from grease.

Sorry to say this, but the Grease references is the only way I know her
too. At least I never doubted she was a real person. Or what Troy
Donahue wanted to do.

Oh gawd he watched A Summer Place (1959), in which Dorothy McGuire is
the movie's #2 on the list of all-time evil mothers.
I assume you've heard this in an elevator as the theme is even more famous than the movie thanks to Muzak.

Never watched A Summer Place, but I've definitely heard that music
before. I couldn't tell you where I heard it, but I've it. LOL.

but who Troy McClure is.
And it was followed by Susan Slade with Connie Stevens as Sandra Dee. I had to explain who Connie Stevens was, and the history of Hawaiin Eye.

At first I thought you meant, Doug McClue, who I only know from the TV >series "Out of this World." But for some reason, I suspect the point
still holds. LOL

Connie Stevens, best known for starring in "Back to the Beach." Was she
in anything else? ;-)

Are you on Roku? Channels like Cinevault Classics, Samuel Goldwyn
Classics and a few others offer pretty much the same thing; there are
some commercial interruptions but they aren't nearly as bad as linear
TV.
Although I prefer to spend most of my movie time watching movies that
aren't 60 years old or older like much of TCM's creaky fare.
