I have been enjoying documentaries and movies based on or about historic events .

[rockandroller]

Easy.

Go to https://thevillagerockers.com/, click on "Songs Submitted", click on a group, enjoy their popular hits on Youtube.

Obviously, I never tire of listening to rock and roll.:a040:

[karostay]

I'm enjoying no televised sports they have all be ruined by greed egos ...Frankly PGA isn't far behind

[billethkid]

Both cars and both golf carts washed and detailed.
Now staining the pool deck and lanai.

Hmmmnnn....now for next week......

Hallmark Channel begins a Christmas movie marathon this evening and will run 24/7 for three days. I don't watch sports, BTW.

[asianthree]

Both of our boys would be going through withdrawal if the virus wasn’t keeping them working 60 plus hours.

I hope there will be something on when they come down, they stream something on their phones, something on their iPads, and both TVs, all at the same time.

It’s like living in a sports bar when the visit

[tophcfa]

Re-painted some of the dirty spots on the walls and now I am watching the paint dry : ( My sports world is crumbling, Tom Brady is gone, Mookie Betts is gone and Chris Sale is getting Tommy John Surgery, and Marcus Smart has COVID-19. WTF is going on? Seems like the perfect storm???? And no Masters, the world has officially been turned upside down!

[Deebee007]

Spoken like a TRUE Boston sports fan. We feel your pain. Hang in there, The B's and The C's are going to be real good whenever they come back.
In the meantime, join in as we sing along with this guy in Back Bay...every night at 6.

[rlcooper70]

Outlanders. Amazing series.

[Ginsanders]

Justified, Blacklist and Longmire great watch on Netflix.
The star on Blacklist, Megan Boone, is Gary Morse granddaughter raised right here in The Villages!!

[Jima64]

youtube, foreign language Police dramas, anything rated at least 4 stars and recent years. No network TV shows.

[Ameliafay]

PBS is a great investment for $5 a month.

[Nucky]

The Blacklist, Tommy & The Two Popes.

For today, The Illuminati & a few Charles Bronson Movies. Charles was so good when I was young and now as an actor I would rate him as Corny!

I got to read a Childs Book to one of our Granddaughters last night on FaceTime. It did the job, the little darling fell asleep. I have that affect on the kids because

of my very calming voice. Just Priceless!

[matandch]

Classic replays of baseball’s greatest games.

[GaryKoca]

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, a great show about a comedienne in NYC in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Also, Turner Classic Movies. Plus The Windsors about the royal family. A documentary.

[VIN574]

Now watching Last Tango in Halifax

We watch a lot of Netflix, Prime Video & Hulu. But I understand not a lot of people have these. On regular TV I’m sure only some
people have the same taste. Like what you listed I don’t watch any of them because most of them I never heard of. I do watch the Coronavirus stats just to see how it’s going.

[Chatbrat]

any good movie--saw a real tear jerker, yesterday--Taking Chance--if you served--its a must see

[John_W]

Other than sports, we watch the ID (Investigation Discovery) channel the most, so recording more of those shows and watching, On the Case with Paul Zahn is my favorite. Some of the others I like right now are The Lake Erie Murders, The Man with the Van and My Murder Story. Some of my favorites last year were Breaking Homicide (retired detective reviews cold cases), The Interrogator (Houston detective gets 90% confessions without pressure) and Deadly Recall (Nashville detective with photgraphic memory recalls the crimes).

I added Epix Movie channels, 3 channels for $6 a month and they have lot films that HBO and others don't. I just watched A Quiet Place, and I have about dozen films recorded from Epix, Death Wish with Bruce Willis is next to watch. Even found an old movie I was looking for, After the Fox from '68 with Peter Sellers and Victor Mature.

https://gigaom.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/1/2011/08/epix-homepage.jpg

Also watching the reruns of games, on NFL Network I watched the SB between the Eagles and the Patriots, watch the Bucs beat the Rams yesterday, also on Golf Channel been watching the replay of the Valspar Tournament from two years ago when Tiger played but Paul Casey won. Also rented some from Red Box, which I hadn't done in several years. I rented Jo Jo Dancer, Judy and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, I liked them all. I even watched some of the NHL All-Star game replay, I'm missing hockey and golf the most right now.

We also over the years record all the House Hunters and my Lottery Dream Home on HGTV, so we are still watching them. David Bromstad of LDH parents live in TV and we saw him not too long ago eating out with them. He's a very colorful fellow and not hard to miss.

[Bay Kid]

I have many hours recorded on my dish of things to watch. I also record old golf, meaning from the 60's and 70's. Fun to watch.

[Mudder]

Last Tango was our favorite!
We have just started Homeland.

[Bill32]

Never watched much sports, mostly football but some of the players killed that for me so no loss there...But now we just got hooked on "Billions" from Showtime.

[Two Bills]

We have discovered a thing called radio.
It's a wonderful invention.
Just a square box withe some knobs on it.
Turn them and you get music, and even people talking.
Whatever will they think of next!!

[Bill1701]

youtube, foreign language Police dramas, anything rated at least 4 stars and recent years. No network TV shows.
Have you watched 'Trapped', 2 seasons, or 'The Valhalla Murders'? Both are Icelandic police dramas.

[ellenwelsh]

Try Weeds and The Ranch on Netflix

[Glessmom]

On Netflix I've been watching Dexter again. He always makes me laugh.

[traveler9]

For horse lovers there is a good amt of sports. All weekend last weekend and this weekend the road to the delayed derby continue. Definitely getting my sports! LOL

[stits128]

If you like Harlan Coban, try The Stranger and The Five. Very good thrillers, keep you watching til the end.

[LI SNOWBIRD]

The Blacklist, Tommy & The Two Popes.

For today, The Illuminati & a few Charles Bronson Movies. Charles was so good when I was young and now as an actor I would rate him as Corny!

I got to read a Childs Book to one of our Granddaughters last night on FaceTime. It did the job, the little darling fell asleep. I have that affect on the kids because

I haven't heard the name Charles Bronson in YEARS--wow

[ColdNoMore]

I haven't heard the name Charles Bronson in YEARS--wow

I knew the real life helicopter pilot (may he RIP) that Bronson's movie 'Breakout'...was based on.

[bpatter]

Brit box is good

[kendi]

I don’t watch a lot of TV but “Modern Love” on Amazon Prime is surprisingly good. Each episode is based on different characters But the last one of the season brings in an interesting connection between them. No raunchy stuff, respectfully done.

[ColdNoMore]

My viewing has been almost totally unaffected.

Lots of documentaries from Discovery, Nat Geo, Netflix and now Prime Video.

Just finding and watching Ken Burn's outstanding life's work, could eat up the better part of a week...all by itself. :bigbow:

On Netflix I've been watching Dexter again. He always makes me laugh.

I liked Michael C. Hall even before Dexter during the six seasons he was on HBO's Six Feet Under. It's available on HBO on-demand, I've seen every one of the 63 episodes at least 4 times. He couldn't of been more different than Dexter. He played a gay undertaker living with a gay black man, who himself was an LA cop. Here's a photo from the show with his partner and his mother, she was played by Frances Conroy who played the Joker's mother in the recent movie. Six Feet Under was a fantastic drama.

I signed up for HULU, 30 days free then $6 a month, new series DEVS is pretty interesting

[J1ceasar]

Please note the nfl is giving free access to their channel of old taped shows. I dont remember the exact acronym.

[yourjoy]

My 7 year old granddaughter is reading me a story everyday. FaceTime is wonderful!

Very...:cool::cool::cool:

[Velvet]

We are watching Netflix “Valhalla Murders”. Slow start and with subtitles but gets more interesting as the plot develops. I’m learning all about Icelandic culture. Similar to “Shetland” and “Wallander”. Later we plan to watch British comedy on Britbox.

Hubby and I are both gamers. We also love to cook so we are trying out new recipes.

[Telecom]

I strongly recommend The Stranger excellent Drama

[JanetMM]

No offense CB, but if I (a guy) go to HELL and this was playing 24/7 - THAT WOULD be HELL.:22yikes::22yikes::swear::swear:
No offense to anyone, I am a woman and all hallmark channels and especially Christmas movies are hell-like to me too. DIE HARD and ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE are my two fave Christmas movies!

You will love the Netflix series ‘Messiah’. (It’s not a religious movie)

It will have you on the edge of your seat.

Call the Midwives ~ great historical fiction

Schitt’s Creek ~ hilarious

Say what? :oops:

[Diane863]

I’m going to have to add this to my list. I loved him in Dexter. Such a great show in a weird way. I also liked The Vikings, never thought I would with all that killing, but it was a good show. IMO.

[patfla06]

Reading.

[DPayton]

In addition to Prime and Netfix we have Acorn TV. Enjoying Broadchurch, Brokenwood, 800 Words, Murdoch Mysteries, Agatha Raisin, Vera, Shakespere and Hathaway, Delicious, Silent Witness.
Always looking for other options, keep 'em coming!
Thanks!

[Fredman]

Watching sport re-runs.

[Boomer]

Call the Midwives ~ great historical fiction
Mrs. Maizel
Schitt’s Creek ~ hilarious

Schitt$ Creek is fun to watch — especially to binge as the shallow, formerly super rich, Rose family evolves and thrives as they adapt to their new lives.

Chris Elliott, as Roland Schitts, is so creepy and stupid and yes — hilarious.

Only thing — after binge watching, I sometimes hear myself talking like Moira. :cool:

[Madelaine Amee]

We are into Britbox and Acorn. He likes Doc Martin and I like A touch of Frost, When Time Goes By................ well, really I just like all the old PBS British mysteries.

Loved Halifax and cannot find it!

[John_W]

Chris Elliott should have his own TV show. I use to watch Letterman especially if he was on there. It all started with the Man under the Seats. Skank the Bounty Hunter was my favorite, I wish they had made it into a show.

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZILYjlXQIAY/hqdefault.jpg

He was also a good Marlon Brando, wasn't anything he couldn't play.

[coffeebean]

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, a great show about a comedienne in NYC in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Also, Turner Classic Movies. Plus The Windsors about the royal family. A documentary.

Hubby and I binge watched all three seasons in a few days. LOVE that series.

[tophcfa]

Not watching much TV except news and weather. Miss sports big time but can't get myself to watch all the Patriots Super Bowl wins I have recorded because I am going through Tom Brady withdrawals. However, the yard never looked better, way ahead of where we usually are this time of the year. Lots of cleaning and organizing going on, and finally finished the taxes. Our dog is loving this whole thing, her humans are with her all day. Need to start finding more ways to work out at home. I will know I am starting to go stir crazy when I hope some weeds will grow in the garden so I will have something to do.

[Two Bills]

Just watched one of my all time favorite movies again.

Silent Running (1972) It is a brilliant piece of cinematography IMO.
Just love the little robots who cheat at cards!

[Klatu]

New Hulu series, DEVS...part thriller, part sci fi, with strong recurrent spiritual element. One chapter each Thursday.

1916. Documentary on Irish struggle for freedom. Never will you hear more articulate, clear and poetic explanation of history.

True crime series....old murders for, surprise surprise, reasons of sex and money.

Old and new movies/TV: The Furies, Days of Wine and Roses, Super 8, War Horse, Columbo, Bob Newhart, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Valhalla Murders, Outlander, The Man in the High Castle, A Shock to the System (how to get ahead through electricity!), The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (great...Richard Burton at his world weary best), Run Silent Run Deep (Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster on a sub), Ray Bradbury theater, Pandemic (free) or my personal favorite (you have to pay to rent) Contagion, with the Goop girl, Gwyneth Paltrow, bringing something back to America that everyone can get for free...and regret it.

There's also, on Netflix, Kate and Leopold (love story and time travel), Marriage Story (falling apart of one), The Great Raid (WWII true story of rescue), Mystic River (revenge, loss, sadness), True Grit ("fill your hands, you son of a ….."), Red Dawn ("Wolverines!!!), Tremors (Kevin Bacon, Reba with an automatic weapon), Snow Day (comedy!), Longmire (a sheriff you can count on), 21 (card counters and Vegas vigilance), Seinfeld special I'M telling YOU for the Last TIMe, Kodachrome (hard to love father on road trip with bitter son....stay till the end), Hostiles (best serious western since Unforgiven, good for folks who think they can't ever change), Medal of Honor (true heroism).

And oh, search around Netflix, Amazon, Hulu for old reruns of Match Game shows. Still funny after all these years!!

[Bay Kid]

All the playoff football games from last year and the '86 NASCAR race from Richmond, Va. are on today.

[Aloha1]

Watched the classic NCAA BBall games yesterday. Then on the Orlando Channel 6 news, they actually did a sports report segment with final scores and highlites from those games. :laugh:

Also watching Disney, Nat Geo, Apple TV, Prime and Netflix. Plus have a good stock of SF books I've been meaning to get to.

[karostay]

Hasn't effected me at all.
The evolution of our favorite past time sports has left me with no desire to support any sport that ends with the word Ball
Who are egotistical millionaires that believe they are gods gift to professional sports.


Unlike sport of golf bowling horseshoes you earn your pay check week by week .Not handed millions and lets see what you can do

[michaelUK]

Streaming Cricket on Willow TV.
Lots of previously recorded matches and some fairly recent as well - including NZ tour of AUS.

[Quixote]

We don’t subscribe to any television product such as cable or satellite, so to us it’s no change. We recently finished an eye-opening series on Netflix that we highly recommend: Oliver Stone’s The Untold History of the United States and are now in the middle of Morgan Freeman’s fascinating exploration of God as experienced in many countries and cultures around the world. We also watch a lot of TED Talks for some awesome personal stories and experiences, as well as a lot of nature stuff; in the past we did all of David Attenborough (sp?j. Wildlife photographer have to be THE most patient people in the world!...

[LI SNOWBIRD]

Call the Midwives ~ great historical fiction
Mrs. Maizel
Schitt’s Creek ~ hilarious
I also recommend the first two--never saw the third

[DonH57]

Since there's no sports I rounded up some of them little plastic drink swords and issued them out to our anoles, open a cold one and watch the gladiator fights in the drive way. At least their tails will grow back.

[ColdNoMore]

I also recommend the first two--never saw the third

I just started watching (Netflix) the third one, as a result of the suggestion in this thread. :thumbup:


It's freaking hilarious! :1rotfl:

[Madelaine Amee]

We had just connected to streaming ............... cannot believe how much there is to watch. I used to complain about the boob tube and now I am staying up too late watching so many great programs. Makes me wonder why the cable companies did not see streaming coming and get into the act from the beginning.

I watched an old Vera mystery last night, great TV programming, no in your face violence and no screaming and yelling. What a difference.
