I like the old movies, but severely dislike Svengoolie.

Top of the Lake
Watching Top of the Lake on Hulu. It's a 5-year-old, seven episode, BBC crime drama mystery series with Elisabeth Moss, from The Handmaid's Tale. Holly Hunter has a supporting role.
The plot is primarily driven by the mystery plus the characters and their related backstories, not shoot-outs and car chases. I'm starting episode six of seven and enjoying it as much as any TV I've seen in a long time.

I'll have to look that up on MeTV and record a few of them! Does that show ever bring back memories...my folks, little brother and I never missed an episode back in the day, we huddled together in the living room weekly to watch The Outer Limits. I still remember the opening monologue....

Watching/listening to the third hour of the Today Show while going through e-mails & waiting for part of breakfast to cook.

I'm an NCIS fan too but what is is about their attitude to their women characters? They keep killing them off - Kate, The woman in charge whose name I forget and Ziva. I'm waiting for them to do Abby in (don't tell me if they have - we're several series behind you). Seems a bit misogynist to me.
I want to smack the Di Nozzo character though. Can't get rid of him fast enough.

We've been enjoying the Netflix series "The Crown". I heard on the news that Prince Harry really likes it also, confessing he's often regretted being a Royal, and his true affection for his Grandmother has been enhanced by this series.

I found Charles III to be both interesting and a bit surprising...
For whatever reason I didn't expect to see that scenario played out on screen while the Queen lives ..

Not certain if this is a petty rant... lol
I've noticed that a lot of very old shows are being redone..
The Gong Show, Battle of the Network Stars and others which have slipped my old mind.. Didn't like them then, probably wouldn't now..
I suppose the story writers have run out of new ideas..

And hopefully the ridiculous reality shows are coming to an end. I am not a fan of hideous violent shows either. I have no need to see the body all bloodied up. Specially when it involves children.

Not sure what bloodied children shows you are watching...

There are some fun summer shows to watch on TV. We enjoy AGT. Ok, so it's not "great tv", but we never fail to get some laughs and "OMG;s" now and then.
Hey, at our age, that's not such a bad way to spend an evening on the loveseat together.

Svengoolie [MeTV] brings up a lot of trivia about the movie playing and who's in it and such. That's neat. He's a modern day throwback to the genre when local TV stations had a host showing sci-fi or scary movies late at night. Remember "Elvira" ? She dressed like Morticia Addams, only, more vampire like and seductive. She had sharp incisors too

I find him obnoxious. I liked Elvira, she had class.

There is no other than Alvira, I agree. Then again I was a young youth with hormones racing.
