I have no intention or watching the RNC tomorrow.

[sheshe2]

Instead I will watch:

Contagion
Outbreak
Dawn of the Dead
Night of the Living Dead
The Walking Dead
Z Nation
Jaws, I,II,III

Will follow up with American Psycho.

I see no difference between the two.

[elleng]

1. Ditto.

Don't know WHAT I'll watch, nothing much on TCM, BUT, ENDEAVOR on PBS, from 9-11.

[csziggy]

4. I can recommend the most recent season of Endeavor

I just finished watching it. Excellent!

Do let me know - some of the episodes this season and season 6 had the ends cut off. I've complained and it didn't happen with the last episode, but I haven't had a chance to check the other episodes where it happened.

Also great on PBS is Frankie Drake - done apparently by the same production company that did The Murdock Mysteries. Also set in Toronto, but in the 1920s with a female private detective. It's a lot fo fun.

[elleng]

5. Thanks. I follow Endeavor 'religiously,' watch whenever available, which is good because

he's here REGULARLY now!

[csziggy]

9. It's a great series - I was catching it when I could

Now that I am streaming it is great to watch it all in order over a shorter period of time.

I've only just begun to stream PBS and explore what they have done over the last few years. If you donate to your local PBS station you can get a PBS Passport and use that to stream. Lots of their shows have a number of seasons available that way - all seasons of Endeavor are there. I watch through Roku but I think almost any streaming method is supported.

[elleng]

10. I have Passport, but haven't used it;

PBS is my go-to station(s,) for news + entertainment.

[csziggy]

14. I got out of the habit while I had CenturyLink's TV service

They didn't have the local PBS channel and the schedule for what PBS they had was always wrong. I tired a digital antenna but the PBS station is too far away and past our ridge so while I could get 30+ other stations, I could get that one.

Passport is pretty easy to set up and if you use streaming, it lets you watch easily. I'm happy to have PBS back where I can watch it as well as have their programs on demand.

[elleng]

15. I'm so lucky, I have 3 PBS stations, ALWAYS!

(DC area, so 2 in DC, one is Howard University station, and one in MD. ALSO had the Virginia station, but it disappeared.)

[csziggy]

16. Tallahassee is fairly isolated from other markets

It's 90 miles to the nearest town big enough for their own TV stations.

For many, many years we only had one CBS and one PBS station. With my rabbit ears I could pick up a Georgia PBS station (they had Doctor Who!), and at night TBS from Atlanta but only after the cable system shut down. That was in the mid 1970s..

When I moved out here on the farm our mobile home was at the top of the ridge and we put up a big antenna with a rotary system. We got all sorts of channels, even TBS and TNT from Atlanta some nights. Over the years that antenna wore out and in the 1990s we got a DirecTV satellite system, then moved over to DISH.

This house gets wretched reception - as I said we're over a ridge but it is also an ICF house with concrete and rebar walls with a metal roof. I had satellite TV again, but the trees grew enough to start blocking it. So we went with PrismTV from Centurylink but they are trying to drive away customers in favor of the AT&T streaming TV product.

I like the variety of choice with streaming and the ease of updating the technology. Instead of replacing a big antenna or satellite dish outside, we can just change streaming sticks.

[Squinch]

20. Wasn't this season great! I was glued! Maybe I'll re-watch it this week.

Tell me the episodes and how far you got and I'll fill you in on the endings as I re-watch.

[csziggy]

28. I'm goign to start with the first season and watch all the way through

Maybe by the time I get to the seasons that had the ends cropped, they will have fixed it. Thanks for the offer!

[Demsrule86]

36. I have a pass but I heard this show is free on Amazon...going to watch from start to finish.

That would be much more worthwhile than watch the GOP crapshow.

[csziggy]

37. Amazon Prime has the earlier episodes, but not all seasons

Season 7 is only available on PBS.

I think you can sign in with your PBS Passport account, but I found it easiest to just add PBS to my Roku account and sign in directly.

[herding cats]

2. Dang, I like your watch list!

All shows I enjoy!!

[sheshe2]

3. Thank you, herdingcats.

For comic relief I have been watching a lot of horror movies.

[herding cats]

7. Oh, gosh!

Same here. It's so much lighter than current reality.

[Cha]

6. I'll look in on DU to see if there's any

Schadenfreude tp be found.

They should bill it as The SWAMP's Convention.. The Cesspool's Biggest Pack of LIES Yet!.

[sheshe2]

33. Now that is an appropriate name for their convention!

🤪l

[Drunken Irishman]

8. Don't forget Mother for Wednesday night viewing.

[Withywindle]

11. If you like horror, check out Lovecraft Country

It's on HBO but the first episode is free on YouTube. Second episode hits tomorrow night. That's what I'll be watching, not any GOP nonsense, life's too short for that shit.

I love this show because it's inspired by HP Lovecraft's work but it faces his notorious racism HEAD ON and it's set in 1950s America with a mostly Black cast, and scariest monsters are human white supremacists.

I know I sound like I'm being paid by the production company or something, I'm not, I just love this show (and the book it's based on) and I want it to be a hit, and it just hits on this sweet spot of pulp SF/horror and anti-racism.

[Awsi Dooger]

12. It is suddenly biathlon season

2010

This Fourcade kid looks promising

[ProudMNDemocrat]

13. Bought an HDMI cable at Best Buy....

So I can finally watch movies on the Blu Ray player I bought on eBay a few months ago. Hooked it up to the TV downstairs with no instructions. Works slick..

Watched BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, and into Part II of the Extended Edition of the Fellowship,Of The Ring. I watch the LOTR trilogy at least 3 times a year. The will be my week as I sew in the evenings this week.

[Hekate]

26. Wow, you are devoted to LOTR the film. I am re-reading LOTR the book & am into Book 2...

...just now. Have no idea how many times since 1965, but generally not once a year. This time around it has been less than a year since I read it all, thanks to Trump’s assault in all that is decent.

I do love the movies, but watching them means taking over the living room from hubby, who does not share my deep devotion to Tolkien.

Enjoy!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

38. I am. Peter Jackson captured the books so well.

The films, in Extended Edition, captures the books scriptually, atmospherically, and in content. I think Tolkien himself would be proud.

Peter Jackson did the same with The Hobbit Films as well.

Speaking of The Hobbit films, I did a costume commission where I replicated the younger Bilbo Baggins coat. The coat fabric came all the way from the UK. The buttons for the vest, Casted from the mold that made Martic Freeman's from WETA studios in New Zealand.

In 2017, one of the Guests of Honor at the SciFi convention I go to was one of the Prosthetics designers from WETA Workshop who worked on the films, Norman Cates. He sat next to me at breakfast one morning. We talked for 30 minutes, showed him the photos of the coat and vest I did. He was impressed. He asked if I had a business card, I gave him 2.

[chowder66]

17. I'm planning on watching Vampire Circus. :)

[rockfordfile]

18. I haven't watched that crap in years

[Raine]

19. I always watch both conventions. 😶 nt

[Squinch]

21. Donny Bodybags measures his self-worth by TV ratings. I won't give him any.

And anyway, you know the good parts will be excerpted here, so we'll see anything that matters without adding to his ratings.

[sheshe2]

35. Exactly 😐

[malaise]

22. I will be watching the monster every effin'night

The end is nigh!

[Hekate]

25. I will look for your commentary!

You have a stronger stomach than I.

[iamateacher]

23. There is a wonderful South Korean Zombie series

On Netflix called Kingdom. Highly recommended. In that case also, the non-zombie political beings are worse than the zombies.

[Hekate]

24. I will wait for recaps and comments on DU & from my faves on MSNBC....

Not for love or money will I watch the projectile-vomit-inducing performances of Donald & the RNC in real time.

[DinahMoeHum]

27. I currently control my blood pressure. . .

. . .I don't need the additional aggravation.

Besides, I can always watch MSNBC for the juicy parts and laughing commentary afterwards.

[csziggy]

29. Or watch Trevor Noah and Steven Colbert's coverage

They make it fun. A good laugh is good for you, while the RNC in action always raises my blood pressure to dangerous levels.

[Horse with no Name]

30. Me neither

I will not give him ratings

[USALiberal]

31. I'll alert the media! nt

[tavernier]

32. Not if they paid me.

[Demsrule86]

34. I agree...not watching this shitshow.
