Hard to Find Good TV shows anymore.
« on: January 31, 2019, 11:40:42 pm »
Other than Blacklist, Blindspot, and Brooklyn 99, and some History Channel shows, there isn't a lot of satisfying shows on anymore.  I fall back to reruns which are better than a lot of garbage they put on now. 8)

I cut the cord over 12 years ago.  Used netflix for a little while.  Got rid of that the first time they changed there pricing and still haven't gone back. We've gotten used to relying on the internet and library for entertainment.  As you said there aren't many good shows out there.  Particularly family friendly with morals and values that are so dang hard to instill in our kids these days.

How about Madam Secretary or This is Us (which isn't currently running, but it will be back). I have been finding a lot of really good shows on Amazon Prime Video. I'm currently bingeing on Goliath with Billy Bob Thornton. What a good show!

I mostly watch old shows like westerns and tvland sitcoms, 227, Welcome Back Kotter, Gomer etc because it's mostly trash on tv these days.

I love Brooklyn Nine-Nine! And it's true: There's barely anything good that's new on television these days. I lost interest in The Good Place. If you like crime programs, Homicide Hunter: Lt. Joe Kenda on Investigation Discovery is good too.

I think the problem may be that TV shows now start new seasons at somewhat irregular times, some coming and going every 6, 8, 10 months sometimes. It used to be that the new shows started pretty much all at once, but now they are all over the place.  This is why I sometimes lose interest in certain shows because I get interested in something else during the long absence.

I watched the pilot episode of this quite a while ago (I think when it very first came out), but never went back for a second episode. I don't know if it was lack of time or what.  Maybe I should try again?

"The Resident" and the "Good Doctor"  are shows that I watch regularly.  Medical dramas with some very interesting characters.

The only channel that I watch anymore is the ID Station and we just find other things to watch on Netflix. Regular TV just is not what it used to be.
