(68,816 posts)A DC-area channel, 14-3, carries Grit TV. In the evening, Grit seems to run nothing but episodes of "Walker, Texas Ranger." Sometimes it's the best show on. I happened to see some of it last night.

I don't know how good it would be to be "rescued" by them, though. Most secondary characters end up dead regardless.
I guess I'd settle for Robert McCall from the Equalizer. Got that on DVR.

Then again, Rams were gone for like 20 years. Even though they're back, the excitement just isn't there for me anymore. I'm over it. The Dodgers committed suicide for some strange reason. They haven't been on TV for going on four years now, and every year it gets easier and easier to not give a shit. Basketball's a joke. If I can figure out how to watch live L.A. Kings games (legally, of course), I'm pretty much done with TV as it was once known.
But back to the point, yeah, I saw Fortitude scrolling through stuff on Amazon Prime after finishing Patriot.
