TV Shows......

I watched Upstairs/Downstairs on PBS last night. The 1st season aired in 2010. They showed 3 episodes of season 1 last night and I think 3 episodes next Sunday night, proabaly until seasons 1 & 2 are aired. I think they must be rerunning seasons 1 and 2, getting ready for a new season 3 soon, although I'm not sure. It was good though. It is much like Downton Abbey - which is a fabulous PBS series on British aristocracy and their servants. I like Downton better, but Upstairs/Downstairs is good too.

There's a new PBS series that started last night, Call the Midwife. It was really good. It's about 4 midwives in London (I think it's London, maybe not) in the 1950's. I really liked it.

I've also been watching Land Girls on PBS, and it is good, but I've missed some episodes, I need to get caught up. I have Hulu and can usually get caught up on some things that way.

The Midwives sounds interesting! There is a book by Chris Bohjalian that is supposed to be really great called Midwives. I wonder if the TV show is similar.

I watched 666 Park Avenue last night. It is really good...evil on Park Avenue!

Linds, there is a show about the Hutterites on TV here. The girls do not seem to be so happy, I have to say.

I read somewhere that the Hutterites were not happy with how the show was turning out.

I do have to say that we watch a LOT of Mickey Mouse!!!! Not my choice!!!!

M i c....k e y....M..o..u..s..e...Micky Mouse!! You know...there are times I will admit, when I'm in one of my goofy moods cleaning or somthing and will start singing the Mickey Mouse Club song. Oh the memories!

I have been watching a PBS series called, Call the Midwife. It is REALLY good, no it's GREAT! Episode 2 was just spectacular. It comes on at 7:00PM central time on Sunday nights.

Upstairs Downstairs is starting season 2 or 3 (can't remember). This was a series in the 70's that was remade in 2010, so I guess this is now season 3. I saw part of season 1, but need to watch the rest of season 1 and then season 2. I'm watching season 3 now, I think it's on Monday nights, and it is really good.

Daytime TV is pretty bad. I watch The View if I have time. I DVR Dr. Phil and Anderson Live. I cannot be bothered watching the news shows. I don't believe that most of what they have to say is not biased one way or the other with the election coming up. I catch CNN but I don't really believe them anymore. Actually, I read the top articles on the NY Times app on my Ipad to see what is going on in the world.

I love to lay on the couch and watch TV at night, with the dogs all cuddled around me. Lately, I have been enjoying reading more thn TV though. I love my kindle!!!

We have DirecTV with sooo many channels but lately I've noticed that sooo many of them are selling stuff. I've looked for a way to block them but without going through each channel I don't think that it can be done. If you take them out then there's really not much to watch. I'm really getting tired of it.......plus with it being close to Halloween the shows are really scary and I don't enjoy being scared. I hate the movies that are out around this time. It's a good thing that I have some movies DVR'd or I'd be going crazy!!

Speaking of Dr. Phil.....which I don't hardly ever watch.......but I caught a program where there was a husband that was obsessed with his wife......calling her all the time.....always checking on her......and all other kinds of behavior. I guess that he was on a few weeks before and Dr. Phil sent him to counseling for 30 days. Anyway.....that man would scare me half to death if I were married to him!!! I sure hope that poor woman can get out of her marriage salely and live a happy life. I think that everyone was concerned about what this man could do. Scary!
