Currently watching the old series Rod Serling’s The Twilight Zone. I’m on S2E8. There are 4 seasons of ~35 episodes so it’ll be awhile before I finish. I remember watching a few of the episodes as a kid.
 
Currently enjoying "Unit 42" on Netflix..

A widowed cop tapped to lead a special cybercrimes unit teams up with a former hacker to hunt down tech-savvy criminals who are terrorizing Belgium. Starring:Patrick Ridremont, Constance Gay, Tom Audenaert. ... Unit 42: Season 1

Interesting cop show, dubbed dialog and we mostly watch with caps on.. Easier for us to follow along on many Netflix shows..

We, usually, move around between 4 or 5 Netflix series and enjoy them all..

No, it's not, Charlie. This isn't Russia.

Well, since, I assume, you did not live in Soviet Union during it's hay days of mid 70's and the hype of anti American propaganda, and I did, I consider myself some what a pro on subject. Whenever I turn on FM 91.1, local station that carries NPR and MPR, I find myself thinking that I am back at my parents home on quite street in the suburb of Kiev, or per new official transliteration Kyiv.

But alas, I am afraid if we continue, we will end up getting into more politics that is allowed on this board. There is of course private channels if you wish to discuss.

No, but that doesn't make me ignorant of what state media is. NPR certainly doesn't promote the policies of the current administration. For just one example, they report regularly on the effects of climate change.
 
Taco Porn!!!

Taco Chronicles is a Netflix series with six 30 minute episodes, each focusing on a different style of taco:
  1. Pastor
  2. Carnitas
  3. Canasta
  4. Asada
  5. Barbacoa
  6. Guisado
This isn't for everybody. First, it is unabashed food porn. Second, Spanish language with English subtitles.

Thank you... I have saved this show to "my list".. :)
We use subtitles for most Netflix shows so, that should work for us..
Netflix has a goodly amount of good food shows.. :yum:

"The Loudest Voice"

I wanted to watch "The Loudest Voice", Hulu's show about Roger Ailes and Fox News. Got through 3 ½ episodes mostly by watching only 15 or 20 minutes at a time. But I'm done. It literally makes me sick to my stomach.
 
I'm currently watching All or Nothing - Carolina Panthers on Amazon Prime. Currently on episode 6 of 8. Good stuff so far. Love Cam Newton. Such a fun loving, happy guy.

I've seen the other seasons (Arizona Cardinals, LA Rams, & Dallas Cowboys). The series also covered Soccer (Manchester City) and Rugby (NZ All Blacks).

It's a good way to see behind the scenes how these sport franchises work.
 
:( Awww. I hope you can get ME TV. Here's one of the funniest MTM episodes.

From Chuckles the clown's funeral.

"A little song. A little dance. A little seltzer down your pants." :LOL:


Mary Tyler Moore at Chuckles the Clown's Funeral - YouTube




Great episode form a great show which I have the whole series on DVD, before that is was VHS, preceded by Beta.


I like this SNL parody of the MTM show.


Julia Louis-Dreyfus's only has one line, but her impression never fails to crack me up:

Veronica Mars

I've come to admire Kristen Bell, but until about a month ago wasn't even aware of "Veronica Mars." Thought I'd watch the first three seasons, then the movie, then series 4. But those first three seasons are 22 episodes each ... about teenagers. And I'm 50 years older than those characters. And 3 x 22 is almost 66 hours of television. Mind you, I thought the show was pretty good as High School TV shows go. But no way was I gonna watch season two and three. So skip to the movie; meh. Then the recently released Season 4. Now Veronica is early thirty-something, overtly sexual, maybe kinky even, in a PG sort of way, and overall lots more appealing.

Thoroughly enjoyed season 4. There are rumors of season five; more "detectivy," and alluding to an Angela Lansbury type "Murder She Wrote."

I'm hoping to live long enough to see it.
 
For me, it's mostly older stuff, which I'll probably post at another time.

Of the more recent, I've got the first 12 seasons of America's Test Kitchen on DVD (not too recent!), my favorite all-around cooking show.

Any program with Guy Fieri, though I just started getting into Guy's Grocery Games a couple of months ago.
DDD is my favorite of his and have the first three seasons on DVD as well.

More in the cooking vein its Ina Garten, Sara Moulton (Cooking Live, and the one after or before), Mary Ann Esposito, Good Eats (Alton Brown) of which I have about a dozen DVDS, Michele Urvater (Cooking Monday-Friday), Lidia's shows, Jacques Pepin about 6 or so various DVDs of his, and of course Julia, mostly all of hers w or w/o Jacques.


Took me many years to get into and/or accept Seinfeld.
There's so many different bits per episode there's bound to be a laugh or two per episode, so I bought the whole series!

House M.D. - Have the whole series on DVD.

So You Think You'd Survive?


Shark Tank


Phony as heck reality shows (aren't they all?), but I watch American Pickers and Bar Rescue every chance I get, as well as Pawn Stars, but absolutely despised the obligatory scripted 'Chumly' buffoonery that were cute the first few episodes of the first 6 or so seasons.
The other side of PS is the ever so serious Antiques Road Show which I like.


There is just a smattering off the top of my head.

This answers so many questions.

I saw the trailers for the 4th season and it looked interesting. However, In the back of my mind I kept thinking... "Isnt this the goofy teenager show? It sure doesnt look like it.".

Maybe I'll do the same and watch the movie and season 4. 66 hours of teenage shenanigans doesnt really interest me.
 
Stumble on show on Netflix called OA. 2 seasons, 8 episodes each. SyFy, mystery, etc. Total nonsense if you ask me. Who makes this garbage i do not know.
