whatever series is on Netflix that catches my attention.

(I haven't had TV since the analog to digital conversion robbed me of the ablity to have access to TV I didn't have to pay a fortune to acquire.)

I now have DirectvNow with which you can stream premium channels and individual cable tv like MSNBC plus Netflix and Hulu for less than $50 a month. You don’t have satellite dishes or modems. All you need is an internet connection. You get a gadget the size of a fire stick that you plug into your tv.

You can get it on all your devices. iPhone, computer, iPad, tv.

I'll leave it to everyone else to report on the news because it pisses me off too much to watch.

(not including political shows) and that is Better Call Saul, and its season comes and goes so fast that if you blink you will almost miss it.

Basic television sucks.

as two political and two regular shows so:

The Good Place and Better Call Saul

Rachel and Ali and Stephanie (I get such a kick out of those two - they have great chemistry)

.... because the season ending finale was the best I've seen in a long time. My second choice would probably be 'The Last Ship'.

I love the weekly Bad Beats segment, after 35 years as a sports bettor including 24 living in Las Vegas.

I could give him years worth of material on all-time bad beats.

IMO, that segment is the best television of the week, especially they way they have fun with it.

If forced to pick a political talk show I would probably take Don Lemon, simply because I find myself watching him more often than any similar show, so there must be a reason. On MSNBC it would be Lawrence first, and Chris Hayes second.

and The Crown.

So excited to see how Claire and Jamie will deal with living in the new world.

And of course watching Menzies portray Prince Philip will be worth the wait!

Slainte!!

Writing the title maked me choke up. Dumbo, the idea elephants have feelings too, they aren’t made out of rubber. Hit me big, really big. My only true religious moment ever when I looked in my dogs eyes and it hit me that he had everything important we humans have, that we’re not different, that day I became a vegetarian, these are super powerful emotionally to me. So I am not able to escape west world. I find every episode, every minute engrossing. All ice cream is great. All West World is great.
