Cheryl We stopped watching TV shortly after I retired and we moved up here; we found there was always something more interesting to do. Now we listen to BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio 7 using the BBC iPlayer so that we can listen to a programme when it's convenient to do so. -- Bruce Fletcher Stronsay, Orkney |

Cheryl You need some cheese with that whine...and put on some music. Daytime TV is totally worthless IMNSHO. Just back from a pretty and long drive in the country! It is too nice a day to take the usual shorter route from the local shopping areas. Think I will run by the LNS this afternoon, and maybe the secondhand paperback bookstore. Gill I need to to a used bookstore run myself C |

Cheryl Can you get any of the PBS channels either on-line, or on-demand for free? We watch a lot of PBS. Check out some of the state PBS stations -you might find something. On the crap stuff - guilty pleasures of some on Bravo. Also - I watch a lot of NatGeo, and some of the various History channels. Depending on your computer location versus the sit'n'stitch place - you might be able to get something on-line. Alternative- start doing audio-books while you stitch - though personally I don't do it - I think Sue H. does. I'm always afraid I'll get so absorbed that I'll lose track of my stitching locations. ellice I could have done the Netflicks thing, except as a "get back at" his sister, someone took the PS3 back to school with him. He and it return tomorrow. Cheryl |

And I have to wait for return calls BUT THERE IS NOTHING BUT CRAP on TV. Cheour painryl I feel your pain. But, when stitching, I can't watch tv. If I'm home alone and want to stitch, I load on my Mozart or just tune in a radio stand. At night, if I'm not reading, I first check out TCM - only uninterrupted movie station I get. Then I check out HSN and QVC (not too desperate, huh?, then maybe a peek at WE ( Hate Bridezilla). I have never seen Jersey Shore or any of that ilk. Learning Channel is OK. I never watch the major network prime time stuff either. Joy Behar show borders on the seamy side, and Nancy G is just too upsetting to go to bed on. I have even enjoyed Father Corapi's sermons on EWTN. Oh, for the return of HItchcock. I'll even watch old Sandford and Son or Andy G. |

Cheryl Exactly why DH & I have a large collection of DVDs/Videos!!!!!!!!! We have everything from the very old to the reasonably new - documentaries, movies, cartoons and a few TV shows (Lucy, Little Rascals and Rocky & Bullwinkle). :-) My favorite one to play when I am home sick is the six hour Looney Toons video. If I drift off to sleep, I haven't really missed anything and I'm not constantly needing to get up to change the disc/tape. Although, DH did put the 15 Rocky & Bullwinkle tapes all on one long playing tape because they're only 30 minutes each. Also, before the DVDs came out, DH put all three "Back to the Future" movies on one long playing tape. We can watch it all in one sitting, with no indication of where the individual movies begin and end. Other than the fact that we've seen them all over and over. :-) When stitching, I like to put in the old, black & white comedies. There's just no one out there today like Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart or Gary Cooper - or Barbara Stanwyk when she's being funny. :-) Liz from Humbug Not many DVD's in the house, though I will add Mama Mia to what we do have. VCR player is dead. (sigh, have to find a way to put all those cartoons on to a DVD) Cheryl Mama Mia is hilarious - we actually saw it on cable, then found the DVD at some bargain $4 or so. I think just watching Pierce Brosnan struggle to sing is worth it. At the same time, the women are great, and the scene at the wedding dinner when Julie Walters goes strutting down the table - fab. We were watching Colin Firth on Actors Studio, and he said that doing the music for this movie (all done in recording studio separately on one day) was terrifying, and that when he saw Pierce Brosnan with a "rictus of fear" getting ready to try and sing put some perspective on it. Good choice. A while ago we got a box set of "The Thin Man" with Myrna Loy & William Powell - I love this series. We have some other old movie sets - sometimes we find them at a great price at Costco - but on the whole, we're not splurging much. Ellice I have to look for "The Thin Man"! DH loves those movies. Also, "Bringing Up Baby" Cheryl |
