I tried out some new game shows but most of the week was taken up with an unplanned rewatch of Veronica Mars. I talked about all of that in a separate post.
In terms of continuing stuff, a few more episodes of L.A. Law, $20,000 Pyramid and Celebrity Jeopardy. Watched the season finale of The Floor. One of the final two contestants (out of 100) was an animator who talked about how he had been living out of his car earlier in the year. When asked what he'd do with the big prize he said he would help out fellow animators as the industry had been decimated and he knew a lot of people were in trouble. Sadly he just missed out as the final playoff category was international foods and his opponent was a chef.
I also saw the first 3 episodes of Andor. I had mixed feelings about it. On the one hand I like where they're going with it, and the various details of the emerging Rebellion. I remember the first 2 episodes of S1 seemed slow to me and these seemed slower still, which was a surprise since I'd assumed much of that with S1 was because of setup. Whereas in S2 so far we're focusing on well established characters from last season. It may have something to do with the frustration of watching the leaderless guerilla cell being relentlessly useless and self-defeating. I value the inclusion of this storyline in the larger story the show is telling but it doesn't make that part any more watchable for me.
Nonetheless I'm on this train until the end so we'll see what the next set of episodes brings.
