After sports I typically watch Discovery, History and NatGeo.
But with two sons home have been watching Netflix and Disney+ stuff.

Also get a kick out of Bobs Burgers and Rick & Morty.

Currently finished season 1 of the Mandalorian and gearing up to start season 2 soon. As for other shows, Ted Lasso on Apple is great. If you haven't seen it, check it out. Sudekis deserved his golden globe. Very amusing and well done. If you don't have Apple, Hulu has quite a few great shows. Letterkenny being the best one and 9 seasons to stream, but I also loved The Great starring Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult, which is a comedy loosely based on Catherine the Great. A running gag about her frequently visiting the stables killed me the entire first season. It was very cleverly written and very funny.

If you haven’t seen the first 2 seasons of Fargo and you are a Hulu subscriber, you need to go and rectify that situation immediately.

You can skip Season 3...

Ok, I'll be the first to get a post deleted on this thread.

2 classic comedic TV episodes with superb writing delivered by two actor's that could deadpan with the best of them. Probably wouldn't make it past the PC/SJW crowd today.

Written by Gardner/Caruso, this episode introduces us to the Kaos agent the Claw, not Craw and Max wears the first Apple watch.



This clip is a riff off of Who's on First, written by Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker (folks that brought us Airplane!). Series was cancelled after six shows because an executive at ABC felt that viewer had to pay too much attention to get the humor.



The scene not too long after that was great as well as Drebin and Hocken go to interview the murder victim's widow. "We would of come earlier but your husband wasn't dead then"

Season 3 was weak but it rebounded nicely in season 4.

I re watched season 3 . The first time around I didn’t like it but after a second viewing I loved it . Season 2 was some of the best television I have ever seen so coming on the heels of that it was easy to be disappointed. I agree season 3 is probably the weakest season but it’s still damn good in my opinion. Haven’t watched season 4 yet .

Episode 2 of Season 2 is impossibly, shamefully, and disappointingly bad. I have liked all the others enormously. Disney/Lucasfilm have some very intriguing and promising spin-offs in the works, too. Am I correct in assuming you're gearing up for season 2 because you liked the first?

Yes. Plus I watch it with my girls and they love it.

I love the show, but I REALLY love that you have that time and connection with your kids. I've done some pretty cool stuff in my life, but fatherhood tops it all and then some.

With my girls getting older, we’ve started watching specific shows with them. Started with StrangerThings, then Umbrella Academy, and now Mandalorian. Planning on binging Lost with them after Mando. It’s a lot of fun and we just love the family bonding over it.

Paramount + now active

I'm retro TV almost exclusively.

It feels like they are trying to "reimagine" (barf) just about every TV show from the 80s these days. I'll take the originals, thanks. MacGyver, Magnum, the Equalizer. I did like the new Hawaii five o but that's probably because I never really watched the original.

MASH, Adam 12, Andy Griffith...

Yes I'm old.

I also miss TV theme songs.

Yes I'm a nerd.

THE only reason Hawaii five 0 and Magnum were rebooted is to keep the studio that VIACOM CBS operates in Hawai'i

Equalizer briefly was a movie between reboots

Man, Bob's Burgers is awesome. One time I went to a live event. Each main character did like a 15 minute standup and then they did a table read. It was great.

Currently way into Call My Agent on Netflix. Highly recommended, unless you can't deal with subtitles.

Almost done with Cobra Kai (so ridiculous and over the top) and The Crown.

Finishing up Superstore. Sad to see it go as it has become an all-time favorite but I'm grateful for the comedy gold it offered.

Rockford Files theme song -- best ever, IMO.

Watched two great Neflix documentaries recently...

Murder Among the Mormons

Evil Genius

Both excellent.

Speaking of subtitles, has anyone started watching Bear Town (HBO Max)? It’s about an NHL player who moves back to Sweden at the end of his career to coach a local team:

Hockey is the last beacon of hope in Beartown and being responsible for it is a heavy burden. The day of the semi-final match is also the catalyst for a violent act that will leave a young girl traumatized and a town in turmoil.

I’ve only seen the first ep so I haven’t gotten to the trauma and turmoil yet...

I also liked to watch Ice Road Truckers and Ice Pilots, although I haven't watched either in a while. They stopped Ice Pilots after a few seasons, not sure if IRT is still going.

no, but there's been Heavy Rescue and Highway through Hell, both Canadian based programs that the Weather Channel's been running and a 3rd show is coming along the lines of IRT, that deals with Logging trucks that begins in about 2 weeks..
