I have to admit there is very little that is on now days that appeals to me. I'll watch history, discovery and the nat geo channels. As far as movies or dvd's go I like a lot of the old stuff. I have McHale's Navy episodes on DVD. (Love Ensign Parker and Leadbottom....reminds me of a few officers I used to know). I've got a lot of I love lucy on DVD as well as Hogan's Hero's. I was always a star trek fan so I have the original series and next gen on DVD. Knowing what I know now I see so much humanism in star trek. Bless Roddenbury's soul he had the right idea but the wrong source. He always thought that man could arise above his carnal nature and that the things that plague him now won't plague him in the future. He's right....man will overcome lust, pride, greed and all those things but it won't be in and of himself...he will have to be dragged to it!! Many have not yet learned just how fallen man really is. Yet many of the stories and plots in the series are just tremendous writing and screenplay. I used to be a newsbuff but even the news channels are 30 second sound bites and ad's for the latest and greatest $20 trinket that you just can't live without. That and the pablum of the day...Michael Jackson, Obama, et al.

One of the most watched T>V> shows here in Australia has been Master Chef Australia.Ordinary people,with a passion , were put through a series of tests and feats of cooking skills to become the winner.
It was interesting to see the expertise of the various chefs and that world of cooking level revealed.
The final show nearly five million people watched.
I was going to say that ,this show was at least free of murder, violence,dead bodies and gruesome stuff........but then I thought of all those poor little fish,chickens,pigs,lambs,cows........... ???
Sometimes I'd really like to be a vegetarian again......
