Yeah! But the acting is better than on most shows. I watch just to spend some time with her in the evening. And, no, she's no flaming Lib; she's as conservative as I am. She just likes to watch TV and doesn't enjoy reading.
Frankly, we find the various L & O series to be about the least objectionable fare on TV anymore. The prime time stuff is garbage, channels like History, A & E, Discovery, etc are either showing the same stuff over-and-over or it's biased, and I can only stand a very minuscule intake of dogs jumping through hoops, food being cooked that I won't eat, or shills for the wealthy showing off properties in the Catskills or Tahiti.
That's my take on TV.
It's funny how now there are so many channels it's easy to forget about some of 'em. Or maybe that's just old age.
