What's on TV?

[crgildart]

Godfather marathon on HBO right now.. got the disks but hey, don't have to get off the couch to get them..

Top Gun on Hulu...I feel the need..the need...for speed!

I'm currently doing Sons of Anarchy "box sets" on streaming. Loving the Hamlet/Macbeth reworking

I usually watch Hogan's Heroes during the week before I go to bed.

Watching Hogan's Heroes reruns was usually the first thing I did when I came home from grade school.

I also enjoy The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead -- kind of bummed there are no new episodes for a while.

IMO, The Americans on FX and A&E's Bates Motel are the two best series on now. They are currently the only shows I have the patience to sit thru.
Can't really comment on premium channels such as HBO etc., I don't subscribe.
I try to catch Real Time With Bill Maher and John Oliver online.
Just starting to watch W. Kamau Bell on CNN.

Umm, the Giro d'Italia?

Watching Nibali lose more than a minute to both Kruiswijk and Valverde was just gut-wrenching, even without the mechanical, even without the possible fan interference. Ooof.

Gunpowder: Treason and Plot on the rest days - it isn't really the best historical drama on right now but its refreshing in its portrayal of Mary Stewart as at least politically competent - which after 13 years in the french court she could not help but be. Kevin McKidd is finally back in a suitable role - which IMO he hasn't been since Rome.

That's Great, I'm ROTFLMAO!!!!!

I've yet to reach your level of conviction. Am down to one HDTV panel in the den ... Well, technically two. There is a smaller panel upstairs for when my mom needs a break from the confines of the city and stays here for a day or two. I use that room for the extra closet space and an alternate bathroom. I never watch the set in there, doubt it has 300hours on it.

I really enjoyed The Americans and Sons of Anarchy. Vikings on History was great too -- waiting for that 4th season, and the new season of The Americans, to hit Amazon. Right now I'm really enjoying Bosch, an Amazon original. Mad Dogs was a great Amazon original too. And yeah, all these shows are on Amazon Prime streaming, as Amazon Prime is my only subscription. No cable for me.

Did you catch The Last Kingdom?

 

[ErikL]

No, I'd never heard of it but Wikipedia makes it sound pretty interesting. Alas, it's on BBC so I doubt I'll be able to watch it anytime soon.

Speaking of BBC and Amazon, it looks like Clarkson and co's new show The Grand Tour will be hitting Amazon this fall. Can't wait!

We didn't kill the TV, but we did cut the cord.

...ok so I'm an idiot - but what does that even mean ... cut the cord and left the TV in place as a decorative icon of an era? Are you trying to tell Bill that anger management classes work?

Alright, for a moment there I was worried Trica turned you into an intellectual La Te Da above watching television

I often say I'm gonna cancel cable and put an antenna in the attic but never go thru with it. I am down to one cable box on one set. I hooked up an antenna to the upstairs set which is practically never used, guess you could say I'm halfway there, LOL.

OFC, Achilles was always halfway to catching up to the tortoise...

 

[crgildart]

We have everything BUT cable. Cable costs twice as much as Dish Network around here and Dish is the only vendor that gives the fox sports alternate channels for free (or no extra charge that is.. nothing is "free")

 

[cantunamunch]

Dish also gets you Universal Sports/ NBCSN, no? Don't you get the ski racing? Do you get the Giro?
