Generally, Not A TV Fan But...
I have not really watched much TV for a fair amount of time but whilst the house has been taken apart I have had to spend hours with little to do...and I have found that to some extent I have found the interest again. Having said that, I am more likely to watch TV series' rather than films or the news and a lot of what I am watching I associate with when I was growing up and much younger. Its like being in a time warp.
But not having seen them for many years they are like new to me and many episodes were not shown in the UK. And a lot of my viewing is overnight or in the early hours. Lately, I am mainly switching between Bonanza, Bonanza, CBS Action with some E4/C4 and the Drama channel thrown in(this is in the UK)and my main viewing is Bonanza, The Lone Ranger, Gunsmoke, Sherlock Holmes* Hawaii Five-O, Streets of San Francisco, Dragnet, The Beverley Hillbillies. Perhaps the most modern shows I am watching are The Big Bang Theory and Everybody Loves Raymond.
*Not being paying much attention to who is playing Holmes in this old TV series but he looked familiar, then I saw his name in the credits Ronald Howard and it all fell into place. His father was the actor Leslie Howard(Gone With The Wind/The Scarlet Pimpernel)

I have started watching a fair bit of TV again. I watch The Big Bang Theory and Raymond. I love Frasier and have recently been watching The King of Queens. Just started working earlier though so have to turn the TV off in the morning lol
Hi Lesley, Yes I do catch Frasier too...I know its wrong but I seem to be pulling all nighters at present and having early afternoon naps or having a sleep in the evenings.
If I get myself one of those new recorders I can play them back at better times but the channels I am watching its one programme after another. I have Freeview and Freesat.
