Television Shows

[Kern Dog]

Wife and I binge watch older shows from time, new movies, but without making this political, I've got to start downloading series or get a tevo service to avoid most of the commercials on free tv these days, sickens me to my stomach

I agree. I don't want to see ads for HIV meds for buttsexuals any more than that idiotic, untalented "singer" that does the Burger King ads.

...but he sounds "just like" Will Smith.

Give a whole new meaning to have it your way! Lol

I don’t want to see any advertising for meds of any kind

TV shows that have theme songs, whether instrumental or with lyrics.....
Some shows have paid respect to a character that died in the episode by rolling the credits at the end in silence.
I tried hard to find a list of TV shows that have done this but the search engines on the internet suck ***. I tried multiple ways of asking the question and got nothing.
Kiefer Sutherland's 24 did this. They had a ticking digital clock that was shown before the first scene, before commercials, after commercials and before credits were displayed at the end of each episode. When an important character of the show died in that episode, the clock changed but was silent.
Other shows have done this too but the bullshit internet search engines could not find any.

Any on this list that you were looking for?
Silent Credits

Thank you. That link mentioned 24 and Six Feet Under, a TV show that the wife and I are currently watching again. Tonight's episode is what got me thinking of this topic. The lead character dies with 3 episodes left in the series. The end fades to white and the credits came up in silence. It sparked a memory of that other shows have done the same thing.

I turned the tv off back when Covid hit. When I turn it back on, recently, they're still playing the same shows that was on when I turned if off initially. It's like I haven't missed a thing.

Then you know how I feel about watching the constant Alcohol promoting adds, that kills and harms I suspect an order of magnitude more than the statistics you have shared above.
But freedom means people have choices, whether I agree or not.

I agree, there are a plethora of issues needing attention in this world, a big one is the FDA approving so many BS drugs for let's say less than real ailments whose drug of choice for said ailment has more side effects to include fatalities are being mainstreamed like buying a bag of M&M's anymore. Greed follow the money

Adam 12 and Emergency, two I am watching lately.
Adam 12 is good, even though I have seen them before. The police procedural is good, and the cars of the period.

I love "The Wonder Years" but Jacks car was a 1968 Polara not a 1963 like it said on the for sale sign. The wagon would have been a new car when the show was set. Why the writers didnt catch that is beyond me.
Also liked the episodes with Grandpa Arnold played by David Huddleston. Jack and Norma were my favorite characters though. The older you get the more you identify with Jack. Lol.
The Hardware Store,The Family Car,Pottery Will Get you nowhere and Grandpa's car were all great episodes.

 

[1968_Satellite]

View attachment 1687946 Yes ! I think we see eye-to-eye on this one ! View attachment 1687947

Barney Phillips. The Twilight Zone is one of the very best television shows ever made.

Oh, yeah ? Don't ever let him do your plumbing, either ! View attachment 1687944

These pipes are all clogged up with wires!
Moe: A fine place for wires!

Yeah, I yelled at the screen during the episode where they traded in that "old" 68 Polara wagon for a "new" 68 galaxie 4 door.

Movin On starring Claude Akins and Frank Converse

 

[1968_Satellite]

And dont forget The Rockford Files. One of the very best television shows of all time. James Garner is one of my favorite actors. Super cool guy in real life

 

[1968_Satellite]

And dont forget Patrick McGoohans "The Prisoner"

Meaning at the current rate in a few decades more people will have died from HIV than in WW2, that is rather sobering.
