I'll watch that.

[LexAnderson]

I figure that I might give it a gander as well.

[Daverin2112]

Well this looks awesome. Leave it to the Rock to know how to make strength visually impressive.

I mean it looks cool and all, but there had better be nerf guns.

Also, as a millennial I don't know how to access actual live TV anymore.

Late stage baby boomer here.
I haven't had live TV since 2010, and before that i didn't have it for ten years.
Much of the 80's i lived in a yurt on a mountain or various other outdoor "situations"
If i ever decide to watch a little bit of a football game during the playoffs, i'll stream it.
I am shocked anytime i see a commercial.

I legit have no idea how to watch live TV. Especially since we have no TV. Though my life has been way less rustic.

Guess I'll just wait till it's on Netflix...

Commercials are so weird. YouTube has gotten obnoxious. The most annoying is when showing videos in class and subjecting students to commercials and breaking the rhythm of the class.

Youtube is absolutely unbearable without adblock. The TV channel should have a Stream/Media library on their site, no?

Can one install an ad blocker on a smart TV, or is this (traditional?) computer-only?

Look for adblock apps in the google playstore, adblock plus comes to mind. Opera is an open source browser which is fast and comes with adblock its my go to on PC and Mobile. If your tv runs on android, you should be able to download any adblock, or better yet browser you want. A good ad-blocker should work with the youtube app, some people report inconsitency's though. I exclusively browse youtube through my browser, so I can't comment on that.

Yep, watching it now with my family. Wife, 12-year-old son, and 16-year-old daughter all enjoyed it. It's kinda your typical strongman+obstacle course with heartwarming stories show, but it's well done and Johnson's a charming dude, not a blowhard.

I can’t remember her name. She is a blonde. I’m sure that helps little.

But are there nerf guns?!? These are the important questions.

Jessica Griffith. The latest BBM podcast has her as a co-host. They didn't talk about the show, though. I believe she is the BBM team nutritionist.

Not in the premiere. Maybe they’re holding back for upcoming episodes.

Lots of fire for effects though.
