That is how I feel. They do some wierd things with the character and or story line of the show and it is just too unbelieveable. We gave up on Scorpion last year before the first one was over. Just too far out there on show idea. Almost laughable at what they had these kids doing.

Do you mean Elementary? It does get strange but I like it, especially Lucy Liu.

Yes, thanks! It just isn't what I was expecting.

We retirees just aren't the demographic the advertisers are aiming for. We don't buy all that much anymore. The shows are geared for the younger set, which is why so much of the virtual reality stuff is so popular. Not to mention those shows are so much cheaper tp produce.

I do like Modern Family. Our son got me into that. I think it's well written for a comedy. So many comedies are just one-liners. This show is well acted.

I think Quantico is supposed to be Grey's Anatomy for the FBI. I'll give it some more tries. Realize it's unrealistic but as my father always said "it's only a TV show"

The re-run is on tonight if anyone missed it

I missed it, watched the rerun (thanks HH), and found it intriguing.
Like Bonnevie, I'll give it some more tries.

Folks the writing/creators in TVland and movieland are about mentally and morally bankrupt.

Far too many movie making/sitcom people are just not good story tellers. And their use of biological or scientific hyberbole stretches one's imagination beyond the pale. And while I do watch the Walking Dead what's with the obsession with vampires and zombies

I just saw Unbroken good movie in my opinion.

I find myself more and more searching for old rerun and old movies with substance and good character actors, etc. Seinfeld, Taxi, Encore Westerns

Taxi and Wings were both good shows. I loved Cheers.

Have been watching Quantico. It is OK bu nothing special.

I really have enjoyed watching the DVDs of the first two seasons of Blacklist and it seems a lot of shows are trying to copy its formula. Megan Boone does a really good job of selling her character to the audience. As most probably know, she is the grand daughter or something like that of the founder of the Villages, Harold Schwartz.

I finally finished watching the premiere of Qunatico. It looks like one of those shows similar to Lost where you have to piece together the show's plot and the like. Blacklist is also like that.

I do like trying to figure things out.
