Quarantine television viewing

Recently my family and I decided to watch some television since we are on lockdown.

We watched the last air bender series and grumbled about the pathetic attempt at a live action movie.
The series deserved better. So well written.

Next was a Saturday filled with the lord of the rings trilogy. Excellent..

My daughter hadn’t seen the abyss so we fixed that situation.

Then I cleaned off my old vcr and watched some old tom baker doctor who episodes... the man is my favorite doctor.
That of course has lead to the 2005 reboot.
In the first season now.
Moffat and Davies wrote some great episodes.
I will probably watch the series all the way until the doctor became a women and pretend those episodes don’t exist.
That should get us through a couple more weeks so I’ve got some time to figure out what’s next.


So what’s the rest of the world watching to occupy their time?
Or is it reading...
Whatever..

Did the Lord of the Rings and ol Harry Potter this past weekend.

We watch Oak Island religiously on Tuesdays, but so far all our time has been in the gardens this year and I'm building the missus a "Hobbit" style root cellar out back.

Pulled the canopy off the pool, hopin the water gets warm enough for a quarantine swim

Star Trek... Again...

I could handle watching the next generation again..
But I’m not watching the lousy movies..

I binge watched Star Trek Picard. Good series. Looking forward to next season. I’ve also binge watched three seasons of The Good Fight. Now I’m looking for something else to watch. I have all kinds of DVD’s at home, so I’ll peruse those and see if I find anything interesting. I’ve only seen the first Lord of the Rings movie. I have DVD’s of the other two, so maybe I’ll settle in with some beer and watch those on a crappy weather day.

Finished all 3 seasons of Ozark on Netflix- definitely well worth the time. Probably going to start Surviving R. Kelley pt. 2 later this week. We've been watching lots of alien and bigfoot movies and crazy Youtube conspiracy theory videos. Watched 5 of the David Paulides Missing 411 series last night on Youtube. Right now watching Beyond Unknown on the Travel Channel.

Just the usual television fare.

I just can’t take the commercials..

a reply to: Bluntone22

How about "The West Wing"

a reply to: Bluntone22

Not only the commercials,we have an amplified antenna
on our TV,every time a plane flies over the channel pixels.

No...
I don't want anything dealing directly with politics.

Re-watching justified I like it better than breaking bad .



After that hell on wheels I loved how historically accurate the sets were .

a reply to: Bluntone22

Some more that I've binged recently.

Iron Fist, Better Call Saul(ongoing), The Originals, Schitt's Creek, Fargo and just started Ozark.

Still working so no time for TV but late night been watching shows on Pluto TV. Old James Bond movies and some documentaries on things I did not know were things. I have HBO and Amazon but rarely watch them. Movies suck. I might watch the last Rambo but probably won't. I binge watched the hell out of the Expanse a few months ago. Love that show.

I stop watching 2005 who when matt smith left.

The writing got bad even at that point.

a reply to: Bluntone22

I just watched this one. Its the best Ive seen. Scarey!

a reply to: ZapBrannigan3030

Yeah it went downhill when Smith left but it was still ok...claras fun to look at.

a reply to: Bluntone22

Ummm...we just watched the first episode of...”The Walking Dead”...

The little missus had never seen any...now we’re going to watch the whole 9 years worth of episodes...

Then we’ll be watching...”Contamination”...some...”I am Legend”...and a touch of...”World War Z”...


Popcorn anyone...anyone...?

Another I binged a couple weeks ago, The Shooter.

Bob Lee Swagger, great character and the series is produced by the movie shooter, "Marky" Mark Wahlberg.
