The Six Wives of Henry VIII is very good, also. Part 1 just showed. There are six parts. Duh...

Anyone watching Good Behavior on TNT? Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) has come a very long way from Downton.

Enjoyed the series very much. Anyone with Amazon, check out Goliath and Sneaky Pete. Both worth the binge.

I like Sneaky Pete, but my wife can't get passed the language and occasional violence. (Means I don't get to see it, as we always watch TV together.)

All shows... together? That's pretty good. I couldn't do that. As she like reality shows and I like sports, history, and the Velocity Channel (YAY!!!).

About the only things we watch together is an occasional movie, Dodgers games, Kings games, and Wheeler Dealers.

BTW... you ever watch "The Curse of Oak Island?" What a show!!! Digging holes all over the place and finding nothing. Okay, maybe piece of wood or rock or something they VERY REMOTELY tied to the Scarlet Knights. Or the Crusades. Or some such nonsense.

Half-way through the show you are asking yourself, "Am I really watching this thing?"

Neither of us is into reality or sports shows. We watch dramas primarily with an occasional sitcom as filler when we can't devote an hour to the TV. I do watch some racing, mainly motorcycle road racing. My wife has a hard time entertaining herself. If she is not watching TV with me, she is doing household chores and fuming that I have the time to watch TV without her.

We've gone to three TVs. One in bedroom, one in living room, & one large screen monitor for kid's games. I have a headset amp (DIY tube type, YAY!!!) and some noise cancelling headphones, for our bedroom. Seems to work out okay.

I've been watching it for some time. It started when my son stayed here and I would watch a show every now and then. At some point it got more interesting to me and I started to tape every show. It's maddening how often they repeat the same thing show after show, so I've gotten pretty good at fast forwarding through that part when it happens. Still I'm blown away at the millions they are now spending to come up with dry holes. Clearly they have not found anything as yet or it would be a headline story on the evening news. And still I watch it even if I do ask myself "Why?"
