HGTV has far too many same sex couples wanting to redecorate their bedrooms for me. I’m reduced to mainly the foodnetwork and even have to turn it off when they get too far left. Even Paula Deen is off my list since she had on Moochelle twice for campaign purposes.

I turn the same sex couples off immediately!

Mainly I only turn on the tv when I go to bed at night—and seldom stay awake for one show—LOL!

We did watch a couple of very interesting series we found on Netflex, tho. They were : “Broyles War” and “Downton Abbey”. I highly recommend them.
“Broyles War” was my favorite. It’s about the Superintendent of the London Police Force when the war broke out. Very realistic, with outstanding photography.

“Downton Abbey” is beautifully filmed in England, and it’s about a very wealthy family with all their trials and tribulations, in the era of the 1850’s.

There’s another one we found to be really funny, although we had to get it on a disc, and that is “Bernie” with Shirley McClain and a guy I never had heard of by the name of Jack Black.

It was filmed in my part of the Piney Woods in East Texas. Some very good acting, plus it is just darned funny!

Even though its been 60-odd years ago, “I Love Lucy” is still one of the best shows ever to grace the small screen. The cast were all genuinely funny, the writing was great, and they didn’t feek the need for the cheap laugh so prevelant in today’s cesspool of what passes for tv. There may have been a handfull of instances where a sexually suggestive line was used but that was the exception rather than the rule. That show couldn’t be made today unless the totally screwed it up. The “Dick van Dyke” show is another example. Truly funny characters that had no need for the cheap joke. There are others from that era that is far more watchable than any of today’s drek. Today, it’s a grave yard of unwatchable tv. There are some good ones but you have to wade through the trash to get to them. I’ve not seen “Blue Bloods” but I feel it’s a good show. Personally, I don’t have the time to waste on stuff like “Two Broke Girls”, :The Big Bang Theory”, and “How I Met Your Mother”. That’s time you never get back. give me a good “Twilight Zone” or “Star Trek” any day.
