If they find it, is the show over?
My treasure hunting was mostly garage sales. I'v made some great scores and it gives me an excuse to get up early. Being there first helps a lot.
Then there was that one Sunday and she was just closing up, but I stopped anyway. Found a hand hammered sterling serving spoon for fifty cents, weighed over 2 ounces. I usually ask if they have any old guitars and have found some nice ones. I never hit them with a lower price. Once in a while I might ask if that's the best you can do. I hate to barter.
I think it's in your blood.

Key Details of the 2005 Reboot:
Premise: Focused on Kolchak investigating supernatural crimes, driven by the mysterious murder of his wife.
Cast: Featured Stuart Townsend as Carl Kolchak, Gabrielle Union as Perri Reed, and Eric Jungman as Jain.
Tone: Shifted from the original's lighthearted, campy tone to a more serious, gritty, and serialized approach.
Production: Produced by Frank Spotnitz and aimed to capitalize on the supernatural popularity created by The X-Files.
Reception: While it garnered a small cult following, it failed to capture the charm of the original and was canceled prematurely.
IMDb
IMDb
+7
Other Projects:
Johnny Depp: Has expressed interest over the years in producing/starring in a film remake.
Reddit/Fan Proposals: Discussions have surfaced regarding potential new adaptations, including focusing on a "legacy" character.

Tue Mar 10, 2026, 09:14 PM
Mar 10

And of course, I've seen every episode of Star Trek (TOS) multiple times over the years, most of them probably 4-5 times.

Young Sheldon, Game of Thrones, Peaky Blinders, and Sherlock Holmes (Benedict version) I've watched through twice.

Shows I've watched the whole series (once): Breaking Bad, Downton Abbey, Monk, The Closer, Major Crimes, Burn Notice, Castle, Bones, Elementary, Rizzoli & Isles, Grimm, Vampire Diaries, Seinfeld (but only saw ALL of them a couple years ago)

I've never watched the The West Wing (but plan to!), The Sopranos, The Wire, or Deadwood (but may eventually ). I've also only seen a couple L&O and NCIS and X-Files episodes, ever, same goes for Friends.

Come to think of it, I honestly barely watched TV from 1987-2007. The only things I watched often were South Park, Married w/Children, Simpsons, Seinfeld, and SNL.

I'm almost ready for another round of Downton Abbey.

You guys will think I'm crazy, but I've been catching many of the old Saturday Night Live shows from way back. I started getting interested last year during the 50th Anniversary. It doesn't matter what order you watch the old shows, and admittedly the quality is hit-or-miss.

I like to revisit old friends and stories. It's comforting.

Dr. Who, Monty Python, Supernatural, Hamish Macbeth (on BBC—Robert Carlyle is a Highland cop with a community of hysterically quirky characters), SCTV, MASH, Perry Mason (been ages), Coupling (the original show, not the Yank bastardization), and all things Star Trek. I’m sure there are more but it’s late and my brain is tired.

62. Doc Martin and Eureka
Wed Mar 11, 2026, 01:08 AM
Mar 11

Doc Martin is a comedy/drama British series about a renown London vascular surgeon, Martin Ellingham, who develops a blood-phobia and can't operate any more. He takes a job as a general practitioner in the Cornish fishing village of Portwenn. Martin is cold, aloof, has a poor bedside manner and thinks the locals in Portwenn are stupid. Some of the locals are eccentric and the interaction of the and Martin's personality make for very funny situations.

Eureka is a scifi/comedy centering around US Marshal Jack Carter. Jack is taking his runaway daughter, Zoe, to his ex-wife in L.A.. On their way, their car is in an accident and they spend the day in Eureka in the Pacific Northwest. However, not all is as it seem in Eureka. Eureka was founded by the federal government where geniuses could work and live to advance scientific knowledge. While in the town, a little boy disappears and the geniuses in the town can't figure out where he is. Jack quickly solved the problem and found the boy safe. Impressed by Jack's actions, the head of the town contacts the US Marshal's office and Jack gets reassigned as the town's sheriff. Jack has average intelligence in a town of geniuses and soon Jack is called upon to handle a lot of problems the geniuses caused.

I started watching Best Medicine, but have never seen Doc Martin. Best Medicine is exactly as you described, except Port Wenn is located in Maine and spelled as two words.

They did that with Ghosts, a copy of the original UK Ghosts.

I watched a couple of episodes of Best Medicine and it's, IMO, a poor imitation of Doc Martin. About the only redeeming thing about Best Medicine is Annie Potts is in it.

I Love Lucy, The Thee Stooges shorts, The Little Rascals shorts, All in the Family, The Andy Griffith Show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bob Newhart Show, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Prisoner, Seinfeld, The Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents/The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, etc...

We spent 8 seasons spanning 10 years with these people. I cried most of the way through the finale for that reason alone. Have your tissues ready!

A French Village (Un village français) is a French historical drama series that chronicles the lives of residents in the fictional village of Villeneuve during the German occupation of France in World War II, from 1940 to the end of the war. The show explores the moral complexities of the era through its characters, who navigate collaboration, the Resistance, the black market, and the fate of the local Jewish population, making difficult choices that reveal them as patriots, traitors, or simply survivors.

I watched it on MHZChoice. Excellent series
