TV shows.... what are you watching these days?

[Catie]

In part I lost my closest friend in 2021 because I don't like The Chosen. Because she had pressed me I did watch six episodes, not liking it any better as it went on.

[Tulip]

Do any of you watch The Chosen?

[Falena Porter]

This is about a podcast rather than television.

I love to listen to podcasts on the BBC app.

I am working my way through a series called “Lives Less Ordinary.”

I always believe everyone here has defied the odds by becoming a survivor.

This series is about other people who have had unorthodox and often underprivileged lives but at some point also make a decision to do things differently.

It is not about glitzy success but people who have defied the odds and done something extraordinary.

I find it very uplifting because these people are not picture perfect but they are strong.

I started watching Tales from the Crypt recently. Very fun! Definitely not for kiddos, though!

[Falena Porter]

It's been years since I watched an episode of The Golden Girls but I used to love it.

Now I'm about their age, I wonder if I may laugh for different reasons.

[Overcome]

I love golden girls but have never seen fraiser, can you stream it anywhere? Recently been watching weird food history! Interesting stuff

[Starship]

I LOVE Frazier, too - especially Niles. Recently I’ve been catching some reruns late at night right after Golden Girls on the hallmark channel.

The comedy doesn’t get old!

yes indeed Falena I am laughing just thinking about them, yes the episodes of them at work & in session with clients are some of the funniest. Somehow the lampooning of their ridiculous & in many ways incompetent practice, made the neg experiences i had with therapists/psychs, it softens it a bit somehow being able to laugh at those experiences helps i think.

And i do love a comedy of errors. I quite often say (when multiple things are going wrong) i feel like i in an episode of Frasier!

[Falena Porter]

My favourite character was Eddy the Jack Russell terrier, so much so that I bought one for our family pet. They are such clever little dogs.

Yes I used to laugh and laugh at that show.

Maybe, too, I kind of liked that the psychiatrists themselves had their own idiosyncratic ways, dare I say hang ups? They make everyone else appear highly functional. And their pomposity was always called out in one way or another.

[Tulip]

Falena i have Frasier box set on dvd, Niles is one of the funniest characters ever for me, even though i know it almost by heart now it still makes me crease up laughing

[Falena Porter]

I used to love watching Frasier!

These days, I enjoy some armchair travel.

Michael Portillo and Chris Tarrant each have television series featuring rail journeys in different parts of the world.

Glad you have some 'comfort shows' Plas, mine are Friends & Frasier

[Plas]

It has been a rather poor weekend/day, so I’m watching my comfort shows to help me feel better. Buffy, Parks and Rec, etc. They help me cope a lot better than I would otherwise

[Overcome]

Hahaha his videos are so interesting.

Short item, kinda off topic. For cat lovers in the building, The Kifness posted another song on Youtube based on a cat's meows. I love these pieces!
