What Are You Watching

This has become (along with "Slow TV") my favorite kind of TV - especially if you have a large screen.
You can watch the cam live or go back as far as 12 hours,
but it's incredibly meditative during some moments and quite dramatic at other times.

Giraffes, emus, zebras, warthogs, ibex, hyenas (mostly at dawn), foxes, birds of various kinds...

There are highlights here.

HPI.Season 2. I watched this during a long plane trip yesterday, and I enjoyed it quite a bit (thank goodness for subtitles). It had a lot of interesting characters, and a nice feel, even though the main character, Morgane Alvaro, was very irritating at times. A very nice police show to pass the time. Too bad it's not offered on Amazon Prime, I'd love to see season one, and the outcome after season two.

This is a fairly rare season 2 shot. Diana Muldaur's Dr. Pulaski (a character I liked a lot) only appeared in that season. Great series!

I'm finishing up season 3 of this one:

I was surprised that this series only ran four seasons, I could have sworn it was longer. I don't know if I started watching it during season 2 or 3, but none of the season 1 shows bring back any memories. I just finished the 24th episode of season 1. I get a kick out of the guest stars, which include Michael Dunn as Dr. Miguelito Loveless (a recurring villain), his henchman Voltaire (played by Richard Kiel), others included Don Rickles as a Satanic magician, Burgess Meredith, John Dehner and a lot of veteran character actors whose faces I knew though not necessarily their names. The fight scenes are low budget, as Robert Conrad did his own stunts, but the doubles for the guest star villains were about as believable as those fighting Captain Kirk on the original Star Trek series.

Ms. TTK and I just finished The Wire.  We had of course heard about it for years, but never got around to it.  For those who have not yet seen it, it is every bit as good as you've heard.

Victor Buono was my favorite villain in that series, but then, I liked him in everything he did. Conrad was so disgusted by the dreadful movie supposedly made from the series that he showed up in person to receive that movie's Razzie for worst film of the year!

Buono was in the pilot, he really camped it up.

An even worse film made after a series ended was “Homcide: Life on the Streets.” Every regular cast member was included, even those whose characters were killed off or written out. But the writing and the plot line were very unsatisfactory, especially the ending.

Do you (or anyone else) have an opinion on The Shield or The Commish?

[jazzbo]

I enjoyed The Shield, it was nowhere near The Wire or other top-notch shows, and its production values weren't awe-inspiring, but it was entertaining. I never felt the need to watch any of The Commish.

Rat Patrol

I remember when that originally aired. Linda Day George wrote about how hard doing the show was on her husband Christopher’s back. The Germans were almost comical with their inability to fight the enemy in the series. Soap opera star Eric Braden was still using his birth name of Hans Gudegast (spelled something like that) back then.
