What is everyone watching?

[IrishEyes]

Currently, I'm watching episodes of the Nero Wolfe tv show from the early 2000s. It is really good. I'm in the mood for who done it mysteries lately.

What films and tv shows are you watching?

[redstatebluegirl]

1. Bullwinkle cartoons on dvd.

Normally they are saved for the Republican convention.

[hangaleft]

61. Best cartoons ever!!

[flying_wahini]

94. Be Sure and watch the one called Beatniks. It's my favorite and you can watch it on YouTube.

[dewsgirl]

2. Agenda Free TV Coronavirus coverage.

[Ferryboat]

3. Flock of snow geese feeding.

Oasis of calm except for the squawking.

[amuse bouche]

4. I just finished watching an 8 episode series called The Stranger. I love Brit cop type shows

Follows the lives of suburban families whose secrets and lies are made public by the appearance of a stranger.

I see on IMBD it's on Netflix too

[Alacritous Crier]

15. That was good.

I enjoyed that one. I watch most British detective/mystery shows when I can find them.

[amuse bouche]

18. Prime has a lot of Brit Detective Shows. I loved Endeavour and The Unforgotten

The Worricker Trilogy, Scott and Bailey and Red Rock (that's Irish)

[Alacritous Crier]

19. Yeah also...

Vera, Grantchester, Luther, Marcella. There are so many! I have a bunch of older ones in my media library.

[amuse bouche]

20. I will have to check out Vera and Marcella. Thanks

[amuse bouche]

21. I'm on Season 2 Of Vera. Thanks for recommending. She is fabulous

[Alacritous Crier]

24. you're welcome!

Don't know if you've seen the George Gently series but if not you can't go wrong.

[Squinch]

54. If you like Vera, the series "Shetland" comes from books from the same author.

It's pretty good.

[amuse bouche]

81. I watched Shetland. It was very good

[RobinA]

83. Where Do You

find all Vera seasons. I just signed up for Britbox, but they only have a few.

[amuse bouche]

85. Through Prime Video, a free week of Acorn

They don't have all the Seasons. Britbox seems to have the rest

[Va Lefty]

5. "Better Things" on Hulu absolutely hilarious.

Also some old movies I have on DVD
MASH
Grosse Point Blank
Stripes
Love and Death

[underpants]

9. Woody Allen's Love and Death?

One of my favorites

[Va Lefty]

10. That's the one!

Stay well my friend

[underpants]

12. Wheat!

Fields and fields of wheat!

Thank you. I practice a lot when I'm by myself.

[smirkymonkey]

36. I love that movie!

"I was walking through the woods, thinking about Christ. If he was a carpenter, I wondered what he charged for bookshelves."

[underpants]

41. Ha!

[hangaleft]

63. My favorite Woody Allen movie is Play It Again, Sam

I have a lot of faves. Hannah and Her Sisters. Annie Hall. Bananas. Manhattan. Vicki Cristina Barcelona. Match Point. Crimes and Misdemeanors. Sleeper. And, of course, Love and Death.

[lkinwi]

6. I'm switching between MSNBC and NFL Network.

[underpants]

7. Watching? Why no, I'm teleworking

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100213121222

[Guilded Lilly]

8. Movies movies movies. A kind of Nirvana!

[DFW]

11. I am watching paint dry

I haven't been involuntarily forced idle for longer than a day since I was six. I am out of practice!

[Lulu KC]

13. Trying to figure out how to stream from our "new" television

Do I really have to enter all the passwords on this squishy remote? I'm working up the courage to face it tonight.

[mr_lebowski]

31. do you have a usb keyboard and mouse, preferably a set with a mouse

and a wireless receiver for both (like, on a pc)?

then plug in the receiver to a usb port on the tv and see if they work

[Lulu KC]

33. Thanks!

Thank you for the suggestion. The closest I have is my laptop. It worked once, a while ago, then stopped working. I have an HDMI cable. I don't think I have anything else that will connect the two. I'll try it again.

I can stream Netflix right from the TV (and yes, I had to do the password with the remote, which required patience and dexterity!) but cannot find the place to add anything else, like Prime. So we subscribed to Netflix--$8.99/month. I figure we're saving that in going out less.

[mr_lebowski]

39. laptop through hdmi will just get your laptop screen on the tv

not allow you to use the keyboard and mouse for tv functions, as they'll not be available (they're not on your laptop, you see?).

If it's not available by default, Amazon will be an app you can add via the TV's 'app store' type dealie. Check the manual for how to download apps that aren't already included. I've put a bunch of them on my cheap TCL Roku TV, like Sunday Ticket and HBO Now. Unless you bought a REALLY cheap TV you should be able to add new apps

What kind is it?

And yeah, dealing w/f****** passwords with a TV remote does suck.

[Lulu KC]

42. It is a Panasonic

--not a Viera--pre-Viera?
TC-P50U50

In the instruction manual, it doesn't mention anything about apps, and I don't see anything in any menus or lists. There IS way to connect to Google, so maybe I'd go to the App store there?

[mr_lebowski]

43. This one? I was thinking we were talking about a new TV ...

Yeah says no smart TV features ... I'm impressed you had netflix available on the TV frankly.

So ... nevermind, yeah you won't get amazon prime on the TV directly. Just by an amazon fire stick though and you'll be golden.

[Lulu KC]

47. right..."new"

It's ONLY seven years old!

Thanks for your help. I'll look up the firestick.

[Lulu KC]

48. Like this firestick?

I just plug in the usb and play away?

https://smile.amazon.com/Fire-TV-Stick-4K-with-Alexa-Voice-Remote/dp/B079QHML21/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1PB1GGS8RSRTR&dchild=1&keywords=firestickamazon+prime&qid=1584841470&sprefix=firesti%2Caps%2C304&sr=8-1

[mr_lebowski]

49. Actually it will occupy one of your scarce hdmi ports ...

then it also plugs into the wall.

That one looks great!

Note, very little or nothing comes 'free' with it but it lets you download TONS of apps for services you can subscribe to like Prime. I'm sure that app is already on it though actually

[Lulu KC]

64. Many thanks

There is light at the end of the tunnel. I think we'll be able to watch season 4 of The Good Place.

[mr_lebowski]

72. The Resident Tech Nerd, at your disposal at any time ...

[ironflange]

14. Match Game '77

Can't beat that old show.

[mr_lebowski]

32. I love how 70's TV had obviously gay stars on game shows but nobody talked about it ...

Last edited Sat Mar 21, 2020, 08:21 PM - Edit history (2)

Charles Nelson Reilly for Match Game, and Paul Lynde on the Squares ... but they were always 'hinting' at it if you paid attention.

Richard Dawson was the best part of that show though (or at least I liked him best when I was watching it as a kid) ... but Charles was pretty great too, I remember he sat next to Brett Sommers (who was a special person to me as a kid ... she was the only one else in the world that I had a certain something in common with me, that I knew of ), and they used to mess w/other all the time, they were funny.

[Alacritous Crier]

16. Watched one on Netfilx called...

Satan & Adam It was good.

[Dagstead Bumwood]

17. Chuck Todd

[IrishEyes]

44. I've seen it. It is a good film.

I saw it in the theater when it came out. It was a nice silly film to watch with popcorn and a Vanilla Coke.

I’m pretty much watching at least one movie a day, movies I’ve watched many times over the years and want to see one last time if my ticket gets punched.

[yellowdogintexas]

66. currently we are binge watching "Doc Martin" having found all 9 seasons

on the ROKU channel! Heretofore we could only find the first five seasons
We decided to just start over from the beginning because we had not watched it in so long.

We just finished "The Durrells of Korfu" I sure did hate to see that last episode.

[fierywoman]

67. Midsomer Murders, Graham Norton, the 2020 Portrait contest in GB, lots of

clairvoyants and card readers

[Dem2theMax]

73. They did a 2020 portrait contest?

I can't wait to see it! I can't draw a Stickman. But I absolutely love those shows. And the one with Landscapes as well. It's so relaxing. Takes your mind off everything else. Goody! More to come.

[fierywoman]

74. Here's the first one of this year's series. I find it fascinating to watch their process:

&list=PLldIJEvFOpim6DKlQR_oN2SFcJzLz8sfX&index=4

[Dem2theMax]

75. Yippee!

Normally I have to wait till one of my weird channels carries it on the TV. Now I get to watch this episode. Thank you so much! I know what I'm doing tomorrow. Right now it's time to go to bed. But I have something to look forward to when I wake up.

You just made my day! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[fierywoman]

77. There are 8 more after this one (they are close to choosing the one who is going to

do the portrait.)
I'm so pleased to share!

BTW if you like Graham Norton, there's an episode from I think around 2016 where the winner painted him -- it followed their meetings and discussions and the final reveal (I've forgotten the proper word for it) at the gallery. It's also a sweeter side of Graham Norton.

Enjoy!

[Dem2theMax]

82. I've watched the Graham Norton one twice.

There is a channel called Ovation, and they carry this series, but they are a year or two behind. So I figured I would have to wait. Haven't had breakfast yet and it's almost lunchtime. After that, I'm watching this!

[lindysalsagal]

69. Outlander

Jamie in the cell w Randall...

Great series!

[ailsagirl]

71. Reruns of Columbo, mostly

[OnDoutside]

76. I watched Caddyshack with my 13 year old last night, with the obligatory

Turn Away NOW moments

[duforsure]

78. Watching old movies , concerts , and outside things on tv and You Tube

Hiking in Yellowstone, camping , National Park stuff, and things outside, animals. Lots of old 30's and up movies and comedies never seen. Watched the Hatfield's & McCoy's again, and keeping tabs with family and friends. Also working t lose weight and watching my eating much better now. Lost 60 lbs over the last 30 months and losing more. Staying isolated , and hoping everyone can make it through this safely. The Black Book , Reign of Terror , and Patterns ( a Rod Serling film) both free on You Tube and pretty good. Everyone stay safe and in and protect yourselves.

[TruckFump]

79. Dog TV

The relaxation programs are on right now.

[Generic Brad]

80. Taxi

I lived through the era, but it seems like it took place in an entirely different world than the one we're in.

[SMC22307]

84. 'Babylon Berlin' on Netflix. This is a wild, wild ride.

The Valhalla Murders, set in Iceland, is next.

[flying_wahini]

95. I loved that show.

[DFW]

86. Just stuff I always liked

The Illusionist
The Shawshank Redemption
Luftslottet Som Sprängdes, original Swedish version (The Castle In The Air That Blew Up, in English also called The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo)
The Witness
The Verdict

Stuff where justice wins out in the end against all odds, because it so seldom happens in real life.

[femmocrat]

87. I just finished the entire "White Queen" series on Netflix.

Part 2 was the “White Princess” and Part 3 was the “Spanish Princess”. It was about the War of the Roses and all the battles at the time for the English throne.

I never heard of it, I just found it on Netflix and thought it sounded good. It was. I did some background reading on Wikipedia. Interesting period.

[csziggy]

88. Agatha Christie: The Pale Horse

A recent, very dark adaptation of one of her stories.

I'm streaming various shows and cycle through them everyday.

[Niagara]

89. LHOTP and The Waltons

Currently on Sling, there's a free preview available for the Hallmark Channels up until May 13th. I'm getting my LHOTP and The Waltons junkie fix because both of these shows are also available on demand.


This past Christmas, my dream of owning all of John Carpenter's Halloween franchise movies on DVD came true, so there's always those I can watch as well.

[zackymilly]

90. Peeping in neighbor's window. n/t

[Niagara]

91. I have a telescope that you can borrow.

[zackymilly]

92. Thanks, but I have a nice set of binoculars with night vision.

I could use a tripod though. I'm getting tired of holding them.
I'll post pictures later.

[Niagara]

93. I almost peed my pants from laughing at your response.
