Hitch, I watch reruns - on discs. I find shows much more entertaining WITHOUT commercials.
Plus, I find modern shows too much "in your face". The older stuff has better development of story and character. The old stuff is like a conversation; the modern stuff is like a shouting match. Some samples: Banachek It Takes A Thief Search Burke's Law Laugh-in (tonight's watching) various British Comedies |

I'm looking for McCloud (and possibly McMillan & Wife) streaming legally somewhere. Who's hording the rights to 7 seasons of Dennis Weaver for goodness sake?

Universal, I think. It might be NBC. Apparently no one thinks it's worth the licensing cost. Other rights have been cleared, you can buy the entire series as a block on DVD. Hec Ramsey has never been cleared (Richard Boone's estate hasn't reached settlement, ever), so no DVD or anything else.
It's about the Benjamins. Last edited by Greg Anos; 09-20-2023 at 12:43 PM. |

Having to buy a DVD player as well as the DVDs is not a place I'm willing to go. Too buggy whip maker for me. I appreciate the info, but I think I'm going to hold out for the eventual streaming rights. It's just that every now and again, I think of Dennis, and that coat!

OK, this sounds like tons of fun for anyone who grew up watching television. I'm linking to the book here because tv, of course.

It's Saturday so movie night. I think tonight I'm going to rewatch The Shining. It's been a while.
If I want to watch anything else tonight I might watch the first episode of The Continental on Prime. |

I watched The Apartment (1960 - Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, Fred MacMurray) Sunday evening. It was so good! Watched on DVR. It was on my PBS station Saturday night.
Aside from the acting and story, there were signs of the old offices -- IBM typewriters that were used before Selectrics. Rol-a-dexes and flip page a day desk calendars. We used them until the late 1990s! |
