Title: Not much on television
Post by: o2bnocn on April 25, 2018, 10:49:49 am
Anyone seen any good movies or shows? Not much on television recently. I also had to cancel the netflix I use to have.

The Americans on fx is good  on tonight. Know what you mean by not much good on tv .  Some I like and watch but not many that I have to see. Fear the walking dead is better then I thought. Also like the resident and 911.

I'm a big fan of Survivor and it's on tonight.  Everyone knows not to talk to me during Survivor.    :)

Most of my favorite shows have  recently ended. I am going to have to find me some new shows here soon.

Yes, I actually agree.  There isn't much on tv anymore and I get so disappointed in movies.  Nothing on tv  grabs my attention and as for movies, everything coming out seems to either be a remake, sequel, or a 'do we really need another one of those?'.  I think Hollywood has hit an all-time low in creativity.

There usually isn't anything to watch on regular TV.  We watch old westerns on Grit most of the time.  If nothing good on there, we will pull up an old western or classic comedy show to watch on Kodi through our firestick.

We go to the theater a couple of times a month (since it's free) and hit a good show every now and then. I was quite surprised how good Rampage was. with the subtle interaction between Dwayne Johnson and the gorilla.

I barely go to the theater anymore and I agree there isn't much good on tv. ABC had some good comedies but they're past prime now, that usually happens when the kids get too old. I mostly watch old shows.

I honestly don't watch TV much any more.  There are a few shows that I still watch, but a lot of them have just gotten off putting.

I personally have been watching Bull and Elementary as of late (need to catch up since I record and watch later).  The Big Bang Theory is another for more comedy, but it's nerdy humor which some people don't get.  Can't think of what else I really watch on TV.

I didn't find anything good on TV tonight, which is typical for a Friday night.

Are you kidding? There is a TON on television. There are the newer shows and a ton of old favorites.

Cheers, Friends, Law and Order, Law and Order SVU, Law and Order Criminal Intent, Criminal Minds, The Walking Dead, American Horror Story, Rizzoli and Isles, Grimm, Colony, Frasier, Major Crimes, Supernatural, The Closer, Riverdale, Bones, Outcast.

That is just off the top of my head. Of course, to enjoy a lot of the reruns, you probably need cable.

But the shows are there if you look.

These days I only watch a small handful of channels (all on cable).  "Live PD" on the A&E channel is definitely bingeworth TV !!!  Love that show ... it's like the old "Cops" show, on steroids!

I cut the cord 11 years ago.  Haven't had netflix in over 7 years.  Tried hulu for 1 free month and didn't care for it.  I don't have much time to watch t.v.   On the rare occasions I do I binge.  Just rent series from library for free or a local video store $5 a series for 5 nights.  Some good ones I've enjoyed are Breaking Bad, Orange is the new black, Homeland.  Nurse Jackie was okay - reminded me of the famale version of House.  Oh House was a good one too.

My favorite channel to watch on TV is Investigation Discovery.  They have some good shows such as Web of Lives, American Monster, 20/20 ID, 48 Hours Hard Evidence, A Stranger in my House, A Crime to Remember, Betrayed,
Blood Relatives, Blood, Lies and Alibis just to name a few.  I love this channel.   :) :) :) :)

Get an Android box (you can find decent ones for under $50) and then you can watch anything, anytime... for free.

We love the Blacklist, it is so good! But if you don't like that type of show you should check Deception, It started about a month ago, same thing with The Resident.. All great shows!

I saw Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, MO a few days ago and was blown away by it. What a good movie! It is by far the best movie I saw from last year. TV Shows I like include This is Us, Madam Secretary and Call the Midwife.

You have TV taste after my own interests.  I love Investigation Discovery, Forensic Files, 48 Hours, etc.  If it's based on true crime, I'm there.  Aside from these shows, I like HDTV.  Another show that has come back for its second season is Into The Badlands.  So far it has captured my attention.

Siren is really good.  It's about mermaids coming on lands.  Didn't think it would be that great but it surprised me.

There isn't very much shows and movies watch on TV. I just stick with the actors/actresses I know. Survivor, Blue Blood, Wheels of Fortune, and Jeopardy are pretty much the only shows I watch.

Three movies I loved from last year are The Shape of Water, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, MO and The Post.  My favorite TV shows are This is Us, Madam Secretary and Call the Midwife. I'd recommend any of those to you.

No, but I sometimes use it as background noise, as I live alone.

That is when I pick up a book.

I usually watch shows on Netflix. Hulu and On Demand rather than live TV.  My work schedule is so all over the place I miss most of the shows I want to see.

There are only a couple regular programs I like to watch.  The rest of the time, my husband is scanning and searching for something that looks good.  We get our movies from Roku or Netflix.

I don't look at TV as much as I did in the past.  I usually have the TV on for the white noise.  It's there but I don't really watch TV.

I was reruns of Criminal Minds.  One network runs like 12 episodes on Saturday.  I record them all on my DVR for future viewing. I'm probably getting warped from watching too much murder and mayhem.

Lots of good TV to watch, especially on some streaming media platforms. I recommend Rain, if you enjoy post apocalyptic shows. I also enjoy Orange is the New Black. And I'd say Orphan Black is a good choice to watch too.
