What were you watching when…
Watching Retro TV last night, Cold Squad. I realized that we’d missed a good series, and now I wonder what we were watching here instead. The show aired from 1998 to 2005 in Canada. The American counterpart, Cold Case Files, began airing in 2003 to 2010.
Makes me wonder how many truly ‘original’ TV series the US writers have come up with over the years and how many they ‘borrowed’ from Great Britain and Canada.
It’s sad to me that so many of our shows were not originals.
Face Off, a new season.
I shouldn’t have been surprised that Face Off immediately addicted me the first season. I love watching the creation of creatures and characters.
Last night a new season began and thanks to the DVR and being able to set a reminder and have it even switch to the channel I didn’t miss it.
Looking forward to the next episodes.
Happy Birthday Curmudgeon!!!
Lately I’ve been watching the strangest TV shows
One of my favorites is Dr. Pol. Watching a vet make farm calls and take care of small animals. I worked for vet for a while. The clinic was only for small animals, I think a clinic like Dr. Pol’s presents more challenges for sure. I love National Geo Wild channel.
I also enjoy watching the Science channel. Morgan Freeman narrating anything is great.
I’ve also discovered that I don’t care for a lot of shows on a lot of channels. That’s to be expected, I’m not a TV nut like The Curmudgeon.
You all have a good one!
I’d rather be gardening
Dr. Who 50th anniversary.
Yes, I spent the entire week watching all the shows on BBC America and last night watching the anniversary movie. I am not a rabid Dr. Who fan, but I do enjoy the show.
I have discovered which villain creeps me out completely. Not the Daleks, nope. It’s the weeping Angels! OMG. They completely creep me out!
Which Dr. Who villain stepped on your creepy meter?

Bad movie giggles
Really bad ‘spooky’ creature movies were the night’s treat. On a scale of 5 being the worst B movie you’ve ever seen and 1 being the best, these came in at 7.
They were good for giggles and many “oh, that person is going to die next” statements. Not surprising, each prediction of impending doom was correct.
The Curmudgeon asked, “How do you do that?”
“It’s easy. They so telegraph who is next on the dead list.” I replied.
Beast of the Bering Sea almost as bad as Sharknado soon to be followed by Stonado. OMG! **Giggle** Earlier, I LMFAO at giant crocodiles and piranha.
You all have a good one!
HGTV, stop it already with the Stepford McMansion people, please.

Does anyone else think that the people on HGTV are a bunch of spoiled, egotistical, brats? I am so tired of seeing these over-privileged, over-paid, stinkers go house hunting, where they pick these over-priced McMansions to pieces.
“The paint color is awful” So paint it, you freaking idiot. “I don’t like the carpets.” Duh, can you not tear them up? Have you no eyes to
see past the cosmetics? The freaking house is huge and beyond gorgeous.
Holy crap people, I’d love to have half the house. I’d love even more to see them try to live in this house. Hahaha! I’d bet not one of them could make it a week. It takes courage to live in a normal, average person’s home.
Don’t get me started on the international house hunter program. ROFLMAO! To me it is more of a comedy show than anything else.
I’d kill to have one of these programs come in and make this place more functional and do the needed repairs. Does anyone want to redo my back yard, fill in the pond, and level the whole thing? Yeah, that would be too much of a miracle.
Hey, HGTV why not show us real people who have eyes and a modicum of common sense? No wonder I quit watching that channel a while ago.
You all have a good one!
Bring back Firefly
I enjoyed watching a marathon of Firefly on the Science channel yesterday. I do wish they were still making the show. I found it ‘after’ they cancelled it. I discovered the show on reruns. I became a fast fan.
It’s unbelievable that I became a fan, it is a melding of space and western, and I was never a western fan.
I do wish they would bring Firefly back. It is so much better than many of the horrible shows on TV today.
You all have a good one!
