Fortunately, at least for me, Lawrence Welk reruns are only aired on one
of the PBS channels once a week. Easy enough to avoid. My
grandparents watched it. My father was into things like 'Combat' or the
original 'FBI.' And yes, Dad was the emperor of the one television.

The Lawrence Welk show isn't particularly disturbing to me, it's just
very old. I get lots of different PBS cooking shows. I'm enjoying the
series 'Jamestown' on Masterpiece. Masterpiece Mystery is fun, too.
Nature and Nova are interesting. It's not all "crappy".

Don't forget they remember the ballroom dance numbers and the bubble
machine! My grandparents watched 'The Lawrence Welk Show'. They
died in the 1970's. The show was old even then. LOL

Thankfully L.W. is only aired here on Saturday nights, prime time when they
could be showing something that would make me want to make a donation.

Yep, my dad was into 'Combat', 'FBI', 'Gunsmoke', 'Dragnet', etc. and he, too,
was the emperor of our one TV and we kids were the 'remote.'

Thats exactly why Im happy with Sling. I get a few channels I dont
watch, but otherwise get all the ones I want for a low monthly price of
about $25 per month. It cant be beat.

These days, the young folks adore cartoons with flying superhero
robots. It started over 40 years ago, but now is standard stuff.

I download everything I want to watch from various sources. I wouldn't

Why? IMDB says episode 12 of season 15 was broadcast on June 25, 2019.

Downloading programs to your hard drive seems like a primitive thing to do. OTOH, you're probably into that kind of stuff.

Oh, ok. Well, it saves me having to get a subscription that I'll
hardly use. I can download exactly what I want to see.

I loved that show when it first started but it got old very
quickly. Too much showing off for the camera with the crews. Even
without that, catching crabs in pots show after show? Good
example of too much of a good thing.

Fluke: I just started downloading season 3 of Stranger Things. Has it
even been broadcast?

No idea. We couldn't get interested in it. I just mentioned it because
I think (in the U.S.) it's only legitimately available on Netflix.

Doesn't even matter. All you need is about 5 episodes from any
season. The rest is all repeated boring crap.

Here's the thing for me. They took a good subject that would have
made a great 3-4 hour documentary or even one season of it and be
done. Money rules though and they have already milked it to
death. I quit watching several years ago. Nothing new to see
ever, only the names change.

Please Bruce. This is Independence Day. America is great again
now. At least go one day without cuts for our great again country
on this special day. Have some respect, please.

No. You've admitted to bootlegging. Maybe you will spend your
