I gave up on everything published by Electronic Arts for past douchery

good for you on the rest

Many of the shows mentioned are oldies.
For those who like oldies, check out the youtube choices of early tv shows.
Like the tv version of the Ghost and Mrs. Muir.
Or the old Jack Benny shows.
Still very funny stuff.
Lots of the early 1950 Westerns, too.
Many of these old shows hold up very well, even (or in spite of) today’s culture.

My wife and I enjoyed that. Just wish there were more episodes.

TheRogueBanshee · December 10, 2018, 10:18pm

That is a good show.

EA is one of the top 3 worst offenders. I’ve boycotted them, they are absolute trash.

One of my favorites from the late 80s.

Joss Whedon is a real lefty cu*t but I love this show/movie. Its basically " The Outlaw Josey Wales" meets “Star Wars” (the Han Solo parts)

Looking forward to The Highwaymen in March.

A must watch

My wife and I have been watching an obscure Canadian show called Corner Gas. It is pretty much Seinfeld based in a petrol station in Saskatchewan Canada–it is about nothing. And the best thing we like about it is that because it is mid-2000’s politics and SJW shit doesn’t exist. It is just pure entertainment for the sake of entertainment. I miss pre-political television like this.

The first couple / few episodes are a little rough as the show gets going so I’ve got recommended first episode viewing order for new viewers. Since each episode is not connected to any other episode you can watch them out of order. If you don’t like it after these four episodes then don’t watch it. Right now we are about 2/3rds in season 4–each episode is 20-something minutes so you can binge watch the hell out of it. Gonna be sad when it ends.

Season 1 Episode 4: Oh Baby!
Season 1 Episode 6: World’s Biggest Thing ← Perhaps one of the best episodes overall
Season 2 Episode 7: Hero Sandwich
Season 2 Episode 12: An American in Saskatchewan

if you need me to interpret…

Comanchero45 · September 4, 2019, 2:15am

Oh yeah? Take off hoser…

Chuparosa · September 4, 2019, 5:24am

I don’t. His character is part of why that show is so damn funny.

Chuparosa · September 4, 2019, 5:24am

Jackass.

Watch the show, you’ll get it.

JF89 · September 25, 2019, 3:25am

Great show

I mostly only watch TV with the wife, so it has to be something we can both enjoy. I like scifi and she likes mysteries, so anything that intersects both is good. We recently watched a German series called Dark. First season was good; second season was meh… Looks like there will be a third?

We also like westerns, but the last one we saw that we both liked was Longmire. Was watching Yellowstone, but it’s gotten a little ridiculous.

I recently decided to re-watch Farscape. It’s been 20 years now so I figure I’ve forgotten most of it and will enjoy it again

Comanchero45 · October 18, 2019, 12:30am

Well, the one benefit to getting old I’ve experienced, is that the time between watching and forgetting gets shorter and shorter…
