Needed a break from the same damned stuff...over, over, over...

[634-5789]

[malaise]

1. Get thee to the greatest page

just because - Cooking Channel and tennis are options

[MustLoveBeagles]

2. LOL

Hubby's watching anime.

[Guilded Lilly]

3. Reruns of Magnum PI work for me! Hubba hubba.

[KS Toronado]

81. When I really really need to relax and forget about everything

I go to the Cartoon networks, still enjoy Bugs Bunny & gang.

[Guilded Lilly]

87. I hear ya! Bugs was the best :)

[calimary]

86. "Star Trek-everything" works for us.

“M*A*S*H” reruns, “Seinfeld” reruns, “Babylon 5,” and this neat little British series “Death in Paradise.” Some of the coolest reggae music in that one! Highly recommended!

[Guilded Lilly]

88. We really had some amazing TV growing up! M*A*S*H is still a fave:)

[calimary]

89. I was okay with "Magnum PI" until I found out Tom Selleck is a Republican.

Never did watch it much, certainly not every week when it was on. Just didn’t ring my chimes all that much - even before I found out that Tom Selleck is a Republican.

[Guilded Lilly]

90. It's all good :) I actually met the man in Oahu way back when. He was humble and sweet and genuine.

[KS Toronado]

92. Those reverse mortgages Selleck pushes in TV ads

are real ripoffs with lots of strings attached. If a person needs to borrow money using their home as collateral,
going to a local bank is cheaper & safer, and you won't lose it because of one late payment.

[Initech]

4. COVID / COVID / COVID / Trump / Trump / Trump / COVID / COVID / COVID

Yeah... I need a break from this shit too!

[totodeinhere]

16. Now Afghanistan, Afghanistan as well. n/t

[Wounded Bear]

5. Been doing some CSI/NCIS marathons lately...

[leftieNanner]

7. Big Bang Theory for me

and (don't tell anyone) Dr. Pimple Popper. shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[XanaDUer2]

27. I love Dr Pimple

I do feel bad for the patients who don't have insurance though.

[yellowdogintexas]

58. Many of the patients we see are not charged because they agreed to be on TV

I think that is awesome; she has helped so many people.

I just wish I could sort her videos by "watched" vs "Unwatched" LOL

[yellowdogintexas]

34. She is one of the best guilty pleasures out there nt

[yellowdogintexas]

54. nothing like a good long series, is there. (either book or TV)(

I just finished Medium, currently watching Law and Order Criminal Intent

Leverage and the new sequel Leverage: Redemption are on Prime and if you have not watched them you should. Watch Leverage first then Redemption.

also: I LOVE Brooklyn 99! Best escape show currently running. Sometimes I just turn it on and let it run while I do other things

[stillcool]

6. ain't it the truth...

[Aristus]

8. Norman Bridwell, of "Clifford The Big Red Dog" fame, wrote and illustrated a book called

"How To Care For Your Monster", with humorous advice to children keeping a mummy, a vampire, or a Frankenstein monster as a pet.

Among other things, he said "Your monster will want to watch bad, evil, bloody, and horrifying programming. Let him watch the news."

Even as a kid, I understood the sharp jab at the news media with that one.

[Nictuku]

9. I hear there is going to be a Dexter 2.0 (something like that)

[Corgigal]

17. Yesssss

Season 7? Or something ..can’t wait.

[Hamlette]

82. starts Nov 7 2021. Thanks for the heads up.

[BootinUp]

29. awesome beans. nt

[Guilded Lilly]

91. I'm working my way through the early seasons...

On the high suggestion of a trusted friend.
It’s not my normal fare at all but I’ve become oddly fond of him!

[Kaleva]

10. My sole news source is DU and it's not much different then what one sees on MSM I guess

[Haggard Celine]

15. Same here.

I don't watch news on tv unless I'm some place that has a tv on in the waiting area, or something similar to that. I just stream movies and shows from Hulu and Amazon Prime. I get more news than I want from DU.

[Kaleva]

73. If I'm here and there's important breaking news, I might turn on tv to watch

But I'd have to be here to know about the breaking news in the first place as I don't watch news on tv. DU, with all the multiple news sources, is my one stop shopping place for news.

[betsuni]

11. I started watching those things for awhile.

Then "I Am a Killer." Stopped when I found myself thinking, "Come on, you only killed one person, what's the big deal?"

[mzmolly]

12. LOL

[yellowdogintexas]

59. you can always listen to the podcast "My Favorite Murder"

True Life Crime with a hilarious pair of women.

[Texaswitchy]

13. Mission Impossible for me.

On Pluto Tv.

One episode after another.

Never watched it as a kid.

[lame54]

21. I hste Pluto tv...

Sooooo many commercial breaks

[Texaswitchy]

24. But a lot shows to watch.

And free.

[lame54]

63. I watched Nebraska...

A movie I have been wanting to see

They LITERALLY had 30 commercial breaks

And not well placed - right in the middle of scenes

It killed the rhythm of the movie

I know I watched a good movie but I didn't really enjoy it

It was very frustrating

[XanaDUer2]

30. Love me some free Pluto

watch Midsomer Murders channel all day

[Texaswitchy]

38. I watched all off Dark Shadows.

All kinds of good stuff.

[Evolve Dammit]

35. How much is Pluto? I've been renting MI episodes. Season 7 is best IMHO.

[Texaswitchy]

40. Free

Commercials.

Still not bad.

Download on your phone.

[yellowdogintexas]

47. Have you tried Peacock?

It's free with a Premium Add-On if you want it. I am currently watching Law and Order Criminal Intent. If I wanted to get the Premium upgrade, I could watch original Law and Order! However I think Criminal Intent, SVU and Organized Crime are enough for now.

[Texaswitchy]

51. Got Peacock.

There are a lot of free channels.

[Texaswitchy]

43. Started from the beginning.

Before Peter Graves.

[Evolve Dammit]

48. Martin Landau. How far are you? Great show. I always liked Mannix too. OK pile on....

[Texaswitchy]

49. He was guest star for awhile.

The episodes run 24 hours a day.

[Evolve Dammit]

50. OMG. You have created a monster (if I can get it on my cheap plan)!

[Texaswitchy]

53. It is free.

Just commercials.

[Texaswitchy]

55. Also Tubi

Lot of free stuff.

Will need unlimited data on your phone.

I really like the show.

[yellowdogintexas]

41. The good old ones from the 1960s? Those were awesome

Sunday night at 9 was MI time in my college dorm. There were about 4 of us who would not miss an episode.

[Texaswitchy]

46. Yeah

I was a Man From UNCLE fan.

A kid.

MI is more for adults.

[Rhiannon12866]

64. When I was a kid, I loved MIssion: Impossible

I thought it must be the best show ever to be on TV!

[Solomon]

74. Me too.

[Srkdqltr]

14. Watching Britons Secret Treasures. On BritBox. I think.

[Tadpole Raisin]

18. The West Wing but I think that's cheating.

[frogmarch]

19. I do that! :O nt

[lame54]

20. Jason and Michael Myers are both responsible enough to wear masks

[mnhtnbb]

22. A friend is rewatching The Sopranos.

She's totally hooked.

I had never watched Orange is the New Black. I watched so many episodes in a row that my TV would ask me if I was still there. Again and again.



It was great fun imagining orange jumpsuits on a variety of Republican criminals.

[RainCaster]

23. I'm listening to a loop of the Kars for Kids advert

Far more original

[bahboo]

26. please seek help...now....

[Generic Brad]

25. I finally watched "The Tiger King"!

I definitely share that feeling.

[BootinUp]

28. been there, done that. nt

[Tree Lady]

31. We're watching Clarice

Much more relaxing.

[Wicked Blue]

32. Good one! nt

[Hulk]

33. Returned to reading books

The news is a carcinogenic....bad for your health....harmful if watched for more than 10 minutes.

I give up. I'll watch NPR most nights, maybe a dash og BBC or Al Jazeera....and then I start to implode again.

Take care of yourselves out there. It's on "a loop", meant to get we lemmings to bite and get hooked.

Liberate yourselves!

[yellowdogintexas]

39. been doing lots of reading, I have a huge library in my Kindle

those free and 99 cent ebook sites are going to make my Kindle explode. I just started one in a favorite series.

[Demovictory9]

45. I read a lot of kindle books too

[flying rabbit]

36. Watching the Venture Brothers

now on HBO. Good tonic.

[yellowdogintexas]

37. that volcano over in Iceland. It's my happy place!!!

sometimes I just pull it up on You Tube and stare at it. It is so beautiful and so amazing. My husband is a geologist and I got him hooked on it too. (he did not know about it until I told him) Now we are both obsessed, and he is actually participating in a chat room with other geology buffs. I never thought I would live to see the day he would go into a chat room!!!!!

[Moebym]

42. Funnily enough,

That's exactly what I have been doing for the past few days and off and on for the past few years.

The World's Most Evil Killers is my current favorite.

[Evolve Dammit]

44. I miss the old Food Network before "competition." Two Fat Ladies, Emeril, Malto Mario. Also love

Rick Steeves. Sanity over Hannity!

[msfiddlestix]

52. Right?

I'm watching the Weather Channel...

never ever had it on for more than a couple of minutes.

It's been on a few hours while I scrub my stove, cupboards and refrigerator.

floor is next. Then maybe I'll settle in for a re-watch John Le Carre spy movie, like The Night Watchman, on Prime.

That will do it, I think.

[yellowdogintexas]

61. You need some good podcasts! Infinetly more fun than Weather Channel!

My favorites are
My Favorite Murder, This Podcast Will Kill You, Sawbones, Pod Bless Texas, Bananas, The Final Word and Idiot of the Week (Frangela), Bob Cesca

[msfiddlestix]

70. I sort of think muzak is infinitely better, :)

I generally have pandora going when I'm doing chores. But I also had to focus on bucket load of neglected paper work which I needed to focus like a laser before I got started on scrubbing down the kitchen.

But I found myself streaming MNSBC to get some details of the Magat Bomber after learning on DU this was a live situation.

But it wasn't long before they cut right over to Afghanistan, then I quickly tuned into a different app.

It just so happened to be the weather channel.

So weird, I just let it stream while scrubbing out the stove, and let tropical storms Grace and Henri change the subject to give my emotions something I could cope with in the interim. Like some sort of soma drug. (referencing Huxley's Brave New World&quot

[littlemissmartypants]

56. I'm a true crime, murder mystery addict. I can relate. nt

[yellowdogintexas]

60. do you listen to My Favorite Murder (a podcast)

True Crime + humor. Can't beat it.

I love podcasts.

[littlemissmartypants]

62. I am slowly finding my podcast legs... or ears rather ...

I'll have to check it out. Thanks. ❤

[Nay]

57. Thru COVID and all the political shit, I binge watched shows where people were

helping others and being nice. I recommend:

Bondi Vets
Bondi Beach Rescue
Into the Ambulance
Air Ambulance
Emergency Bikers
AND, something closer to your serial killer documentary, all the airplane crash documentaries I could find.

[Worried2020]

65. Desperate Housewives is my present "binge"

.

Just started Season 3 (I think there's seven) - on Prime Video.

Also rewatching Law and Order, and Mike Hammer, both also on Prime.

I peek in here, check news sources from a dozen or so countries for about an hour a day, then cut myself off.

Odd thing, I thought with all the isolating going on I'd spend more time on Facebook, but the opposite happened. I log in, check for messages, a quick scroll around and outta there in less than 1/2 an hour.

Seems to me I had a better life b4 the internets, and when telephones were fastened to the wall -

Yeah, I'm an old fart - we got our first TV when I was about 11, an old B&W from the estate of a dead relative that no other family members wanted - they already had color . . .

BUT I WAS HAPPIER back then!

(sigh)

W

[gab13by13]

66. Lol, I watched the John Wick trilogy for the 3rd times.

Less people died in his movies.

[ailsagirl]

67. I've been watching Perry Mason re-runs.

They somehow calm me. And Hercule Poirot. Also, Fawlty Towers (which makes me laugh).

"I read the new today, oh boy" pretty much says it all.

[634-5789]

72. Yep. Love those Perry Mason's!

[lunatica]

68. I like watching distopian sci-fi.

It makes sense in a twisted kind of way. The end of culture as we know it makes more sense to me.

[Sympthsical]

69. There's a documentary about Jack the Ripper I fall asleep to

First, I love reading and watching things about the underbelly of Victorian England.

Second, I listen to ASMR quite a bit to relax.

Well, this documentary on YouTube has this narrator with the most soothing voice ever. I flip that on, and I'm out in minutes.

I'm sure listening to that in my sleep is very healthy.

[electric_blue68]

71. The Handmaid's Tale.. oh, wait....

(actually if it wasn't as excellently done as it is - then I
couldn't watch it. It's between seasons now)

I never saw much of SG1 so I've been watching that, and just adding in SG:Atlantis.
Reruns of The Treks, the newer series..

In the hopper are: The Librarians, Warehouse 13, Eureka.

E-books from the library, too.

[uppityperson]

75. I watched a show on Chernobyl.

[Hamlette]

83. the HBO series? Excellent.

[BlueGreenLady]

76. Midsomer Murders

Agatha Christie and Peroit Murders are among the guilty pleasures I watch to distract myself from the real murder and mayhem going on in the real world.

[SharonAnn]

77. I was just going to say Midsomer Murders.

[XanaDUer2]

78. My favorite show

I'm on a fixed income so Pluto is free.

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

79. TCM

Summer under the stars, today Van Heflin.

[7wo7rees]

80. South Park did a piece on "Murder Porn" so that's what we call it 'round these parts.

[Hamlette]

84. Same here. Deep into true crime podcasts.

The part I like the best is when/how they catch them. Seems like fantasy when you're thinking of how the "biggies" (like Trump) never get caught.

Just finished a podcast on the Port Arthur killings. That was some weird shit.

[SimplyHadEnough]

85. Omg

I've been doing the same dam thing! I thought it was just me Lol

[lillypaddle]

93. Me, too!

Thank god for "Investigation Discovery"

[yellowdogintexas]

94. I just remembered a great series with maybe 7 seasons Royal Pains

a doctor moves to Long Island and starts up a concierge practice. Adventures ensue.
Great cast and good dialogue. Very well written with humor all along the way. Nice scenery too.
