Some show on My9 in NY featuring Bobby Brown and with a panel. I never heard him before, just saw his name in the tabloids and never paid any mind. Now I know why: He talked about himself for an hour like he was Christ on the cross. What an excersice in egotism. One of the panelists said 'we heard greatness tonight'. Really?...They had a brief musical segment and it was hardly impressive. They're playing the out theme now and it's infantile. Offensive to me as a hardworking songwriter.

If this is pop music these days it's depressing. The blandest pop from Brazil cuts the shit out of this. One amusing detail: the saxophone player was the token white boy.

Hah! Wow, Bobby Brown.

Maybe his music is better than that show, but, jeez, this guy was tripping on himself----to a kiss-ass choir (which, unfortunately, included that guy Hughley I think is pretty funny generally). At one point Brown said---exact quote: "I'm in love again----with myself", and the panel right-on-ed it to applause. Truly embarrassing.

Sounds awful! You get a no=prize for enduring it.
Now Seinfeld is on at least. It really does hold up.

What's that Hughley guy's first name, anyway? That was a pretty good show.

I don't watch a lot of TV. I swear. Almost none, except the news. Just shut in right now. And trying hard not to lose my mind :excited:

Now watching Lost.

I caught a couple of minutes of an episode of Lost the other night, and I owe you Lost fans an apology. I swear, I thought it was one of those stupid reality shows like Survivor or something. Duh...

They applauded because they knew he would beat the shit out of himself later that night...

I don't get it ----and, far more depressing, wish I did. :unsure: Edited by fasstrack

The Rockford Files every night on RTN. :tup

An all time favorite :tup

Yeah, the show really holds up and still entertains.

The older I get, the more I think this show was the sole shining moment of seventies TV.

What about The Bob Newhart Show?

The Bob Newhart Show is another one that never gets old.

Yeah, there were other good shows than the Rockford Files, I'll admit, but I remember a lot of shit from TV in the seventies. Probably because I was such a tube addict back then...

Speaking of addictions, if we don't get a new Law & Order: Criminal Intent pretty soon, I'm gonna go postal!

I hardly watched tv in the seventies, or the eighties. . . it was domestic life with my late wife Helen that made me into a tv watcher in the nineties and the new millenium.

I have to say that with new technology and heightened production values network tv can really look stunning nowdays!

Now watching Adventures of Lois and Clark, Season One. I never watched this show when it was on. Fun stuff.

In Treatment , new season episodes one and two.

Finished Little Dorrit, which I'd rank among the best Dickens productions yet from the BBC.

Absolutely brilliant and highly recommended. The cast is superb and use of digital filming really adds an extra sense of realism making it better and more interesting than a lot of films I see.

An interesting show about Annie Oakley on PBS, watching it with my parents.

That was aired here some months back, and I thought it was very good.

Our local PBS affiliates have been in a gradual decline over the past decade or so (Riverdance, Yanni, Suzie Orman, Andre Rieu, etc etc etc), but there are still the occasional gems to be found.
