I sit in the garage and watch dog parade ….. there’s a new episode every 15 minutes… the last one was about a nice lady who put water and doggie treats on her driveway …. Another episode was about the hot pavement and rude people from up north….

And another season of Bosch is coming in two weeks.

Heartland is the best show ever. I didn't know about Bosch, you just made my week! Thank you. It's such a great show. I thought they left the ending where he might be a private detective, can't wait.

Netflix and Prime: Ozark, Yellowstone, Upload, Damages, Kim’s Convenience, Start-Up, Billions, The woman in the house across the street from the girl in the window.

Outlander is very good SciFi without focusing on the SciFi. However, I thought they overdid the sex. I don't mind sex in a show if it adds to the plot, and at first it seemed to by, it seems a bit obsessive (I guess now everyone is going to run watch it - LOL).

Also, there is a lot of torture, which some will find hard to watch.

Unforgotten, Midsomer Murders, Last Tango in Halifax, All Creatures Great and Small, Sanditon, and Call the Midwife (all on PBS), of course Schitt's Creek, Bridgerton. Most of them are British shows. We use closed captioning because of the British accents.

Just finished season 1 of Ted Lasso. So far great show!

OMG Last Tango in Halifax (same actress as Unforgotten). Loved that show, loved it. Have to see if I can find it again.

Great show!

If you want something a bit darker (violence warning), watch Killing Eve. It's quirky, funny, and DARK!

I admit it. The confines of the Covid era got us hooked on watching a lot more television in the evenings. The habit seems to be here to stay, so now I want to know if TOTVers have any new recommendations.

I have a few:

The best thing I have found lately is Julia — about Julia Child’s life and how her show took off. The actress playing Julia is wonderful — you gotta love her — just like the real Julia Child. It is worth subscribing to HBO just to watch this. (They are dropping the episodes weekly and I think there are maybe two left in the queue.)

Ken Burns Ben Franklin (PBS)

I recently stumbled across Abbott Elementary. It is about teachers and other staff at a school in Philly. It concentrates on the teachers. It has a nice, sweet touch and some likable characters in funny situations. . .

Abbott Elementary is just a happy little show about a year-in-the-life of a school staff, on the job. (I figured it would get canceled because it is neither raunchy nor is it heavy handed or just plain stupid. But I just read that it will be back. I guess “Rotten Tomatoes” loved it. I did.)

. . .And as a bonus, it does not have a laugh track. (I hate laugh tracks. Who doesn’t though.)

That’s all I’ve got for now. Anybody else?

We are in season 7, getting redundant, does it make a rally??

We just enjoyed the characters and the growth of them. Did miss Mallory though.

Have really enjoyed Blacklist up to now but this season seems to have downhill and may stop watching.

Big Sky season 1 was very good almost up to date with season 2 but thought it has been very drawn out.
