I'm one of the few left on the planet who has never seen Survivor, Amazing Race, or DWTS. :ohmy: No particular reason, I just never got into them. I like The Voice, but just watch it occasionally.

I've seen every single episode of Grey's Anatomy from the beginning and even though it's declined over the years, I'm sure I'll watch it till it goes off the air. :rolleyes: :LOL:

I'm hooked on Blindspot now. Wow. That's a gripper so far.

I am a member of your club. I too have never seen any of those shows either. If I can't get through the description of the show, I have already lost interest. :angel:
 
One of my favorite musicals is "Paint Your Wagon". Anyone else love the Amazon commercial with Lee Marvin's "I Was Born Under a Wandering Star" and looking at the little poodle mix with a cast?

Me too. And I love Paint Your Wagon. Growing up my kids got used to having me sing in harmony no matter what the song was on the screen. Even Ave Verum by Mozart. What drives them crazy is I always have to not only tell them the title but who the composer is.

I love any musical. Movie or stage. :angel:
 
Jean Seberg looked fetching in that scene inside her wagon at night, in her bed, where she offers herself to both Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin, as a wife.

Netflix

The Great Food Truck Race Collection
Hosted by Tyler Florence.

8 teams compete for a chance to win their very own tricked out food truck,and a $50.000 bonus prize to go with it.

I've never seen food trucks like those around here.The competitors have to go from coast to coast.Working all the way.Nothing's easy.

Very creative cooks.The food they make looks fantastic.Made me hungry.

Watched an episode last night for Onion Burgers that I'll probably have for dinner tonight.Actually already had a recipe for them.They looked sooo good!:yum:
 
One of our friends use to work for a Network. We were told that all those reality shows were heavily scripted. I don't watch them since then. not that I like them before. Otherwise I love TV. Growing up in Soviet union, we had two channels only, it was not till late 80's when we got the third channel. Though most of it was socialist/communist propaganda.
 
Not to be left out and if there wasn't enough "haunted" reality shows alerady, there's a new Alaska based reality show called "Haunted Alaska." :ROFLMAO:

I believe that makes about 10 Alaska based reality shows and 5 "Haunted" based shows at present.
A night vision camera for that creepy scary look and another haunted show is good to go.

I'm thinking of all the people who seem to have a real distaste for reality shows.

I'm sure not talking about the trash that's on, but when we were watching "Alaska, the Last Frontier" I was thinking how if you only watched this show, you'd change your mind. This family started homesteading this land over 70 years ago and the resulting generations are still doing it now. It's a testament to a true American family with real values and so worthy of watching.
Charlie, you above all would love this show.

Finished watching the Murdoch Mysteries on Netflix last night.
It's a great show.Charlie you might even like it.It has a little CSI in it.

I couldn't believe they didn't include all the seasons.Guess it will be a while before they add the additional seasons 8 and 9.How wude! They were going to leave it and us hanging like that? What!?

Not to be bested I looked on Amazon and bought season 8.Can't believe my husband actually paid for it. Maybe a kiss on the cheek I'll have season 9 by tonight. Doubt that though.
 
For anyone that wants to watch something for FREE for just this weekend only amazon.com is going to let you watch the show Mozart in the Jungle. BOTH SEASONS for FREE starting on Friday.
 
Thanks for the info Kleenex. I've been curious about that show.

The whole first two seasons are free starting on Friday. NOW they will give you the pilot episode for free right now like they do for every single show.

You may never see an amazon.com opportunity like this for one full year.

Last year Amazon.com did it for the first season of Transparent after the Golden Globe win. I watched it and just could not really get into it at all although I will say they ended the first episode nicely.

The Kilchers who are on that show is Jewel's (the singer) family. Their grandfather moved to Alaska from Switzerland. Jewel grew up there roughing it in Alaska. But it looks like it'd be a great lifestyle -- sure hard in some ways but more peaceful too. Yeah they seem like nice people.

My disabled BIL lives with us and loves classic TV, so I've been queuing up a lot of Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, and Our Gang on YouTube via the Chromecast (like a Roku).

Here's a cute little 1928 Our Gang episode that involves food. It will tickle your funny bone. My sister has a house built in 1908 that has a kitchen nearly identical to the one in the clip. Though her stove is more modern (it's from the 1950's).

Okay So I saw the first season on Mozart in the Jungle for free off Amazon.com and will say I liked it. Way better than the Transparent show I saw last year for free.

At least doing a show about an orchestra is a bit different.

Rodrigo grew on me to be a likable guy.

Did not like the Ana Marie character at all, but she was like important in someway to the whole first season.

That rest of the cast was good. Had a few good jokes in it.

Will start and finish the second season before my time is up.
 
There were an article on Yahoo by his wife. And she says the Netflix lied about his innocence. She says he is a monster.
