We are turning to Netflix from time to time. My husband is a fan of the show Survivor and has full seasons saved. My go-to station is HGTV for ideas of things to do. I also really like our public TV programs when they do documentaries. Best thing to watch are the deer in the open field behind us, and the weather ;))

Sometimes I watch Curb Your Enthusiasm (ten seasons) just to remind myself that things could be worse - I could be married to a Larry David schmutz. I also love, love, love anything Ricky Gervais. He says what i feel - yes, I feel quite inappropriately pissed off quite a lot of the time. Then there are the adventure series, like Homeland, that keep me pedaling away on my exercyle daily. I am a writer but the pandemic is sitting on my muse like a two ton gorilla with B.O.

Hi,

All kinds of PBS mysteries.....old time TV ....vintage movies.....but I agree, news is too depressing...and too repetitive.....

The 50’s sci-fi classics and thrillers are very comforting.almost all of the titles are available on blu ray..sometimes I just have them on for background.....thanks
