If you would like a nice break from reality tv (yeah, all the bad news) I can recommend a series that just started on PBS called All Creatures Great and Small. Set in the late 1930 it centers around two vets, the old pro and the new assistant, at a time when cars are replacing horses and life on the farm is changing.

Loved Grace and Frankie and think it was a good departure from all the dark and sinister stuff that's out there, Patty. Ive found there a lot of programs I can't watch at night or I have sleep issues and bad dreams. One of the programs that really disturbed my sleep was Criminal Minds.

[QUOTE=Lainey;24806139]Criminal Minds was just too disturbing. We gave up on it. If humans are that bad, I don't want/need a front row seat.[/QUO=
I think that's what I found so disturbing, Lainey. I tried watching that fairly new program, Prodigal Son. Nope, nope, and nope. Wayyyyy too evil for me. I have a really hard time thinking that the nice looking folks I'm seeing when I'm out taking a walk or who are walking down the street may be plotting and scheming on how to murder someone else in a horribly gruesome fashion. With that said, I am kind of hooked on watching FBI and FBI Most Wanted. They don't usually show the gruesome stuff and the programs are more procedural. Besides those network programs I watch House Hunters and House Hunters International. I have to record them and watch later so I can ff past commercials. It seems they have a run of at least 15 commercials every 5 minutes.
