Some of my favorite TV series in no particular order...
Schitt's Creek
Loved "Schitt's Creek". Stumbled upon it and got hooked. Eugene Levy is another favorite, going all the way back to SCTV which, IMO, was consistently funnier than SNL. That show produced some real talent; some featured in the Chris Guest mockumentaries..."Waiting For Guffman", "Best In Show", "A Mighty Wind". |

I really liked Fargo, season 5 was good. I discovered June Temple who was an absolute hoot. Jennifer Jason Leigh was also very good. Really liked Better Call Saul and was sorry to see it end. I like Yellowstone and am patiently waiting to see how they write off Costner. My brother got me watching Fargo and I'm hooked. Anyone watching True Detective? Gilded Age? Their are quite a few interesting series to watched. Alienist was quite enjoyable focusing on the turn of the century NY.I didn't know about The Alienist until you mentioned it on the other message board a few years ago when that series was about to start. I enjoyed both season 1 and season 2. I will absolutely watch if they do have a season 3. Wow, time really does fly, season 1 of that series started in 2018. |

John Candy, Andrea Martin, Harold Ramis, Catherine O'Hara, Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas (Bob and Doug McKenzie.) Good old 80s comedy. Anybody remember a show from that same era called "Mad Movies" in which they would insert different dialogue in familiar old films? I can't find many people who remember that one. |

My brother talked me into to getting a box set of Charlie Chan movies when it went on sale. If anything it humorous and stereotypical of how Asians are viewed during that era. Seeing Hawaii in the 30s is cool. I'm a fan of the Charlie Chan (Warner Oland) and Mr. Moto (Peter Lorre) and Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) mystery movies. I enjoy watching many movies from the 1930's and 1940's. I became a big horror movie fan growing up watching all those Universal Horror movie classics (Frankenstein, Dracula, Werewolf of London, etc). One of the actors in the Werewolf of London is the aforementioned Warner Oland. I like those same detective series, Max. Keye Luke as Number One Son. I also liked the even older Bulldog Drummond movies with the distinguished Ronald Colman. Dick Powell going from upbeat Busby Berkeley musicals to playing Philip Marlowe. My all-time favorites in the mystery film genre were the impossibly suave William Powell and his elegant partner Myrna Loy in the Thin Man movies. I also loved those Universal horror films. Especially the really old ones that opened with the prop plane circling the globe. "Bride Of Frankenstein" is one of my favorite movies of any genre. I felt so sorry for the jilted Karloff. "She hate me." |

Another 1930s detective series was Nick and Nora, "The thin Man"...William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora |

Pretty sure Bomber will agree with me on this one, I'm a fan of Columbo and watch the reruns quite a bit. A show that I thought was good and hasn't been replayed that I'm aware of was Hill Street Blues.

With the cost of cable and Amazon Prime, I refuse to add more expenditures for media entertainment. Thus I don't have netflix or hulu so if I'm missing out on some series, so be it. I believe Schitt's Creek is aired on Hulu. |
