Your Friday Video Link: We Got Our Boy Back!

Yesterday afternoon, I logged into You Tube to find some music or a podcast to listen to while I was working and immediately saw this video.

Wait! John Reardon, Charlie Hudson his own bad self, is back on Hudson & Rex?

Really?!?!

I wanted to believe it but I didn't want to be suckered in by some AI shit.

Excitedly, I showed the video to my wife.

"Andrea! Look at this! Tell me if you think this is real?" 

She thought it looked real but like me, she's wary of being taken in by AI.

A quick Google confirmed what we were looking at was real. 

Various reputable sources (Hollywood Reporter, TV Insider, etc) were all reporting the news: John Reardon would be returning to Hudson & Rex for season 9 this fall.  

Our son Dean heard the news and texted us, "You got your boy back!"  

We lost our boy at the start of season 7 when John Reardon had to take time off to receive treatment for throat cancer.

Charlie Hudson was written out of the rest of season, off on a mission to save his brother in South America.   

While John Reardon finished his treatment and made a full recovery, the show's producers decided not to bring him back.

Season 7 ends with news that Charlie was shot and he fell in a river.  His body was not recovered and was presumed dead.

Sarah was devastated.

She and Charlie were living together in domestic bliss and making all the Hudson & Rex fans feel mushy inside.  We shipped them as "Charah".  

Here's a clip of Charlie and Sarah being all warm and cozy at home while Charlie teaches Rex how to gamble.

How did Hudson & Rex go on with out Hudson?  Most of season 7 saw Sarah, Jesse and Joe doing field work, filling in for the absent Charlie Hudson.

Season 8 brought on Luke Robetrs as (I am NOT making this up) Detective Mark Hudson.

Not related to Charlie. Just a coinkiidink that his last name is also Hudson.

After running on Canadian TV last fall, season 8 will be available to American audiences on UP TV starting June 11th.

Andrea and I have no intention of watching this. 

Apparently this was a sentiment shared by a lot of Canadians who made their dissatisfaction known.  

We don't want "Marah".

WE WANT "CHARAH!"

And it looks like, as Dean said, "we got our boy back!"  

In fhe mean time, here's a bonus Your Friday Video Link which looks at the Art of Dog Acting.

Dogs don't know they're in a movie?

That is that for this week's Your Friday Video Link.

We're back tomorrow for Movie Time as we go from dogs to sea creatures.

Until next time, remember to be good to one another.
