Wasn’t there a version with San Francisco as the setting?

I was really enjoying Alcatraz and it was killed just when it was getting interesting. I wanted to know how the cons and warden were doing the time thing.

"...since I prefer mostly British police procedural programming..."

Me too. Just finished watching the latest season of "Vera." Thankfully she'll be back for another season next year.

I liked "Chuck" until they brought in Scott Bakula. I lost interest after that. Just don't care for him.

He seemed to fit in "Enterprise", though.

"I was really enjoying Alcatraz and it was killed just when it was getting interesting. I wanted to know how the cons and warden were doing the time thing."

I was disappointed when they cancelled that too. I like Sam Neill. Not sure if you'd ever be able to find it, but he did a series (Australian production) in 2014 with Bryan Brown titled "Old School." Synopsis: "The eight-part series follows the adventures of the retired criminal Lennie Cahill and the retired cop Ted McCabe." A very funny program. I was hoping they'd continue with the series, but they never did.

I have been watching the episodes on MeTV when I get the chance. Unfortunately, it isn’t every day.

I think I will have to check out the dvds and watch the episodes in order. I should have plenty of time to watch them when I drop Uverse in a month.

"Having them both shoot the killer like 15 times without killing him was way too campy cheap slasher flick lame."

I must have missed that one.

Most shows are so PC bad, it’s one of the better ones. The Flash is a metrosexual who gets slapped around by women and sits around and cries.

I will hate to see it end. Lexie has a soft heart but keeps everybody else moving along. Good actors on that show too. Do you have any other Netflix to recommend? There are so many series we have not watched because they conflicted with other shows and we have never had foreign series to watch. Thanks.

[LaRueLaDue]

Me too. I haven’t watched more than a handful of episodes of network shows in the last 25 years. And haven’t missed a thing, either.

My fav show has always been CSI on Tuesday night - but that was until Michelle Obama was on a couple of weeks ago. Couldn’t believe Gibbs could subject us to that

“Let’s go back to the part where Jayne gets knocked out by a ninety-pound girl, ‘cause I don’t think that’s ever gonna get old.”

[Mad Dawgg]

Revolution annoyed me to no end. The world was years without working electricity but all the young people look like they just walked out of the hairstylist with awesome hairdos blow dried and expertly trimmed.

Say what you will about the Walking Dead but at least the show runners have the characters look like they live in a world where society has collapsed and the characters appear grungy and disheveled like one would if their was little hot water to be had for showers etc.

[Fledermaus]

Good one

Love the 12 Monkeys ladies...each in their own way

You left out The Witness. I LOVE her eyes!

I’ve been watching “Man in the High Castle” too. Interesting take on the original Philip K. Dick story. It kind of rhymes with it, same characters but differences with the book. Which is I guess typical of his stories put to movie/TV. It’s pretty interesting. I also hope they have another season.

[tstarr]

I understand this is the last season for Person of Interest.

[Company Man]

Elsa as a lezzie is just a fan petition, nothing more. My feeling is that if they really want to go in that direction, Frozen 2 will leave it ambiguous, with Frozen 3 the big reveal. Just this simple techno-serf’s opinion.
