    A few months ago, I taped a few episodes of The Drew Carey Show. Spouse like them. We now have 238 episodes clogging up the DVR as SHMBO wants to be able to watch them at any moment.

        Based on the recommendation from @Aqua-Letifer , I started to watch the Monty Python Flying Circus show. Lots of funny bits, but also lots of bits I don't understand due to British humor or British political figures/current events. But worth a watch. A lot of the stuff probably would not be allowed today. LOL About 1/2 through season 1

        Below is an example of a funny sketch (funny song begins at 4:00 minutes)

          Killer on Netflix, directed by David Fincher, was riveting. One of the most fun watches in years for me.

          Education is extremely important.

            And of course slow horses.

                Is "All the Light?" any good?

                What is "Lessons in Chemistry?"

                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                    Yes to both. Finished Lessons last night.

                      On Netflix:

                      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godless_(miniseries)

                      In the series, set in 1884, a young outlaw on the run from his vengeful mentor winds up in a small New Mexico town populated almost entirely by women.

                      Only about an episode and a half in, but it's quite good, if you like Westerns, that is.

                        Just finished justified city primeval. Meh.

                        But the ending was interesting.

                        Fool Me Once was a pretty well done thriller.

                        Lessons in Chemistry was pretty good.

                          Godless: Two episodes to go.

                          Just outstanding. Great story, wonderful scenery, and the acting is good.

                          Some trope-ey stuff, but I can get over it.

                                I’m late. But I just finished Band of Brothers (2001). Wow if that production quality isn’t 100/100 I don’t know what is. Amazing.

                                Watching Pacific now and then later Maters of the Air.

                                  Truly amazing, wasn't it?

                                  I wasn't about 3 years (?) later that I learned that Damien Lewis was not an American.

                                  David schwimmer spoke to the real Major Winters during an event and asked him if Captain Sobel was that bad and Winters replied, “no. He was worse.”

                                        Bass? Yep. It of course examines him through his blackness, still good.

                                        Masters begins this weekend.

                                        Morning Show = MFR. Too soapy for me.

                                          I just finished Band of Brothers (2001)

                                          Truly amazing, wasn't it?

                                          I wasn't about 3 years (?) later that I learned that Damien Lewis was not an American.

                                          My favorite scene: "We salute the rank, not the man."

                                          David schwimmer spoke to the real Major Winters during an event and asked him if Captain Sobel was that bad and Winters replied, “no. He was worse.”

                                          Haha yes I had to rewind and watch it again after that line. Love it. Also the dialogue was good. Little facial expressions instead of words... or one scene, I can't recall the exact words, but it's near the end where Nixon and Winters are by the lake and instead of stating the obvious line such as "you can have a job" he instead implies it such as "You know, I have a business in New Jersey". Little things like that make it better for the viewer so that words aren't spoon-fed but the ideas still come across.
