I think that I have a spare Roku unit around here somewhere, Ted. Let me know if you want it, we are fixing to start downsizing by having a garage sale. If you have Wi-Fi, it is simple to set up, and if you only pay for channels that you choose to. Cable/ satellite is way back on my rear view mirror, all I have is over the air and the channels I subscribe to. Me and family members share accounts on apps, so it is pretty cheap compared to anything else out there. Thank you, my wife has us set up on the Roku thing she has taught me how to use it. |

Watching DEXTER: NEW BLOOD. Entertaining but full of more logical/forensic holes than 20# of choice Swiss. The cast is good though and it IS fun to watch. (Brit mysteries have totally spoiled me!)

I have watched the first three episodes of the 2007 series, "Masters of Science FIction". If familiar material, please excuse. So sorry!
Episodes are short stories by authors like Harlan Ellison and Robert Heinlein. Director quality is high- Mark Rydell Directed the first episode with Judy Davis and Sam Waterston starring.
Quality production! Interesting stories. A brief narration by Stephen Hawking which is worth something to me.
Finally, a well made and enjoyable series!

Currently watching EDWARD THE KING, (Edward VII) a Brit series from 1973. Very dated, but with high production values. Typical of the period it features really lousy sound. Most Brit productions of that era suffer from the same affliction. It is also over-lighted to an annoying degree. The rule seems to have been “flood every scene with maximum foot-candles!” Acting is good, altho Victoria does a good bit of scenery-chewing. Robert Hardy (Siegfried Farnum!) is excellent as Prince Albert. They spent a fortune on costumes and settings, which was no doubt possible by scrimping on microphones and sound gear.

Season 4 of Manifest. I binged the first 3 seasons some time last year. I'm not sure how this one sucked me in, but ive been hooked since Season 1, episode 1.
I'm waiting on the 3rd season of "Secrets of Skinwalker Ranch" to pop up on something I actually have a subscription to.

"Danger Man". The old English series from the early 1960s. Patrick McGoohan.
l Just finished the first season which were 30 minute or so episodes. The second season went to full hour with higher production values. Still holds up well. Good stories and so many fine old actors present.

Started MURDOCH MYSTERIES. Canadian, set in turn-of-19th C. Toronto. Rubbish. Pretty-boy hero ruins it even worse than silly plots. Everyone looks like they are going to a costume party and would rather not go. Dumping it.

We just binged Saving Grace. We watched it when it was on about 14 years ago, but it ended suddenly with no real finale. Now the series is on Prime with all the episodes that weren't shown before. Very satisfying.

It was one of those "I can't find anything else to watch" finds. Not something I would have normally chosen, but I figured I'd either watch it or bore myself to sleep.

I loved the movie in its day but never got into following the social and business etiquette so depicted. Sadly, too many others adopted a lifestyle. |

last night after f.ball done, TV version of "Home Alone". Joe Pesci & Danial Levine (sp) were the real stars IMO of the show.

That was one of the few Comedies I laughed out loud watching. I am a sucker for Slapstick Humor, being raised watching The Stooges. |

Mostly in the Paramount studios and at the house on Long Island and the other house in Sicily. |
