Candy - what shows are you watching? We are into the Walking Dead series. The wife likes Peaky Blinders on netflix. I find it ok; the one hour episodes should be about 40 minutes.
I look for movies, love old black and whites. Last night watched "My Man Godfrey", "Life With Father", "The Bishop's Wife", "Fargo." You can tell I'm an oldie as well.
Since husband finally installed our Comcast "boxes" I can call up movies...press the button and say "John Grisham's The Rainmaker" into the speaker and there it is. (There is an old "The Rainmaker" with Katharine Hepburn and I think Robert Mitchum or Burt Lancaster, which is why I have to say "John Grisham's..." but that's actually a good one too, so I'll watch it soon.)
Some cost to rent or buy, which I might do but right now I look for the "free" ones. Like watching them when I'm ready. Some have commercials but somehow they are few and surprisingly short, like 15 seconds.
X-finity usually advertises when certain shows or movies are available free online. A while back I watched every season of The Sopranos. Had seen it before, but not in a long time.
Law and Order, especially the ones with Jerry Orbach as Detective Lenny Brisco.
Have learned to like some old stuff like Friends, George Lopez, King of Queens. For a while was into Three and a Half Men. Pretty funny. Mostly stuff like this I rejected trying out before, but now appreciating.
Husband is into the car restoration/rebuild shows on Motor Trend channel, but he complains they are all repeats now.
MASH, Andy Griffith. They are repeats too, but I like them so much I don't mind.
Never tried to watch Walking Dead. Too gruesome, at least the ads for it. Haven't heard of Peaky Blinders.
