    TV programs...

    Not much worth watching these days. Tonight is "Joke" Island. I've pretty much given up on that series. If interested, you can get a summary of the entire hours in the last 10 minutes or so. Other than that, it's them going all nutso over another "significant clue" = piece of antique junk. I predict this season will end like all the others - no pirate treasure. You wouldn't have to twist my arm very hard to convince me the pirates came back and dug it up a long time ago. Might be a tiny bit left... maybe.

    I do keep up on the gold prospecting series. Gold Rush, Bering Sea Gold and Freddy & Juan's mine rescue. Like all TV series, there's a lot of drama scripted in by production, but I like gold mining stuff. My closest friend and I went prospecting in the Nez Perce wilderness area in '73. Actually found a bit of gold, too! At $200 per ounce back then, you'd need a lot of ambition and perspire a lot to live on panning the productive places we found.

    Landman was a good series, and it looks like there will be another season. SW

      Our TV/TV's are normally grinding out Fox News when they are on. Like you, the same programs on gold mining are among my favorites.

              Wife is the t.v. watcher here. We're on TCM a lot watching old B&W movies.
              She likes to watch a lot of crap like 1000 lb sistah's and 90 Day Farcee.

              Local news has really taken a hit here, which is kind of sad commentary. I wish they'd get some one on that could read the news without flapping their hands and arms around, but I guess hand-talking is a sign of the times. The local stories seem to be drying up- it appears they simply don't have the staff and crews to do the local reporting that was once the norm here. Weekends can be pretty dry for news with no local news-casts on Saturday and Sundays. There's one station that does a looped feed of local stuff on Saturday, but not much in the way of story volumes.

              I'm still mad at CBS over Blue Bloods being cancelled. Boston Blue is not the same thing at all. As a star vehicle for Donnie Wahlberg, my reaction is totally bleah.
              Gotta remember that's the network that canceled the original Star Trek series. They've still got rocks in their heads over four decades later.

              We do watch a bit of BBC-1. There's some old 1/2 hour comedies on with the excellent sneaky Brit dry sabotage humor.
              She's a fan of the Father Brown series, which I can basically take, or leave.

                  been watching person of interest on Amazon, which has turned into a formula show (granted most are) but the back stories that tend to tie the episodes together are kind bland,

                  will likely finish this season and move on,

                  I tried to watch Father Brown, and kept falling asleep,

                  been catching some of Luther on Pluto, that is an excellent series
