What's on TV These Days?

[Terri Yaki]

No I didn't. Back in the day, I found that show to be cheesy. It's funny how everyone views different shows differently from other people. Columbo, that show with James Garner in it and some others just never appealed to me. I do like Tom Sellick in other stuff though. He's good in the westerns and Blue Bloods. Sometimes they're just so ridiculous that they're funny to watch.

You?re right, many different views on tv stuff.
I particularly liked the intro 80s Magnum opener which was a two part set up titled >Please don?t eat the snow in Hawaii<
That well thought out sequence set the following shows up with a solid, well rounded base to build upon. That opemer, which was a total of 2 hours equivalent to a movie, was the best work Tom has ever done in my opinion.

BA! Hum bug. The best show I ever found on TV came on as soon as you pressed the OFF button.

Hmmm...I take it you've never watched The Beverly Hillbillies?

Iddee your post makes me think of the scene in Forrest Gump when his fellow soldier ask Gump to turn off that Bull; well he didn't actually use the word Bull. I believe it was Gomer Pyle that was playing on the hospital TV in Vietnam that was in reference.

I like an occasional Ole Miss football game and that is seasonal.

With the hundreds of channels to pick from at any given time. There seems little quality to choose from.🤷🏻‍♂️

No, Terri. I didn't. Most girls I grew up with knew what a bra was for. It wasn't a slingshot. I have been in the room while many shows played, but never got interested in any of them.  I always got mad at the other kids that wanted to stay in and watch the little rascals instead of going out and doing something. I think TV is the worst invention of mankind, right next to football.

I was happy staying in Saturday mornings and watching cartoons but my father always chased me out of the house. I couldn't understand why it mattered to him what I did as long as I didn't cause any trouble.

As iddee, we did not take the time to watch TV until we were called for supper, we were too busy (outside) and only came in for lunch unless it was raining. When we came in for supper we would then watch a little Tom and Jerry. It was a good and generous time of our lives because when we got big enough for the hay field it was over!!  lol. Square Bales 😁 notice I said big enough I did not say old enough. 😮😁

I grew up like Iddee. Up early, ate breakfast and out the door if I didn?t have to work for my dad on electric jobs. I spent most of my time in the woods that were about a mile away. Most of the time my parents had no idea where I was. At age 7 I received a set of foot traps for Christmas and caught opossums and raccoons.

My sister and I watched Quigley Down Under on Sunday.  We really liked it.  It's one of those movies that has everything.  Action!  Romance!  Drama!  Humor!    It would have been easy for Crazy Cora to be annoying, but she wasn't.  Alan Rickman and Tom Selleck are obviously perfect for these roles, and it was fun to see Ben Mendelsohn, who is now quite famous, as a young unknown actor.  Reasonably realistic, and Australia gives the movie a fun twist off the typically cowboy fare.  We gave it an 8.5.

When I was in Australia, I asked around if anyone had seen Quigley Down Under.  No one had.  I thought about it, though, and every Australian in the movie is evil.  The only good people were Germans who were living in Australia, and two Americans.  And of course the Aborigines.

I don't know, I feel like a lot of the Australians who worked at the ranch were just doing their jobs, and they bailed on their villainous boss when Quigley warned them that things were about to get dangerous, so I don't see them as evil.
