Television Shows

[Dipstick]

Lately I just can't get past this thought: It sure seems like years back TV was good.

I think the writing is much more imaginative nowadays; I try to watch reruns of old TV shows and rarely can sit through a whole episode. DVR's take care of the commercials.

Do yourself a favor, find and watch the show Justified. It ain't Little House on the Prairie, but it is a damn good show. My favorite of all time.

The Wonder Years

Lately we have been watching a lot of British police shows on Acorn and BritBox. Some are kind of quirky. It looks like everyone yells at each other over there! Midsummer Murders, Vera, Doc Martin, Shetland, Bancroft, My Life is Murder.

I'm now going back to watching M.A.S.H, and Frasier, after a few years of letting it rest.

Everything I know, I learned from the Three Stooges.

Remind me never to let you cook my meals or iron my shirts.

The old TV shows was hands down better written, directed and produced; it's not even close.

The OP brings up another point we should consider. That is preserving TV history in a world that's rapidly developing new technology making old archive formats obsolete and pressure to rewrite history or delete it altogether. We don't have to say anything more.

So, get your favorite shows on DVD or in digital format and remember to do regular backups.

One of my favorite shows was The Twilight Zone.

Thanks. That one made me smile as I couldn't see the last image until after reading your response and scrolling down.

I flip for hours sometimes looking for something new of interest with t.v. shows or movies, or that I have not seen already. Always seems like I go back to re-runs of the good ole stand by's. Everybody Loves Raymond, Two And A Half Men, Home Improvement, Last Man Standing, That 70's Show.

Most of the new stuff worth watching is behind some kind of pay wall per episode or you get it with a subscription.

Not a big tv watcher other than the news, watch a few channels to see what the other side says also, I find it interesting.
As far as shows goes I do like lots of the old cowboy type, and allot of the more modern sitcoms, if they dont keep me interested or amused, off they go.
I guess I have other stuff to do, but for a few hours in the evening I do turn on the tube.

****, I spent enough on that giant screen tv I guess I better watch it once and a while.

Anybody remember Tarzan with Ron Ely 1966-68? I once had a Tarzan lunch box.

Apparently, Rin is now 86.

My elderly dad has the TV on in the back ground
from 9-ish am to 10-10:30pm
sits on his *** & watches old westerns, getting sick of old westerns
same ****/reruns seen 20 times each, day after day after day
I never thought I'd say that, I'm sick of old westerns

Yellowstone was my favorite, thanks to that douche Kostner
it's not been aired for a while not new anyway
1924 & 1883 (or is it 1886 ?) prequels to Yellowstone, were pretty good
supposed to be a couple good ones coming out sooner or later
without (Cheney lover) Kostner
1944 supposed to be Kurt Russel & 6666 (4 sixes) another couple of
Yellowstone Dutton family ranch, Mathew Mcconaha (spell ?)
he is supposed to allegedly be the next new Dutton leader, (or star of the show)
a different character then Kostner's
a few spin off prequels
