I feel like there is nothing GOOD on TV anymore. We have NO news, which is good- but any recommendations on what to watch? Just curious???
 
Don't think I can help a lot! I have just watched the Royal institute's Christmas Lectures, on genetic biology, and am now watching Stargazing Live; astronomy for dummies.
 
I tend to record shows during the year on my PVR, just for this season. Quite often there are a couple of shows I wouldn't mind watching, but they are on during conflicting times - I watch one and record the other and save it for later. Not into sport watching myself.
 
I watch a few shows on a regular basis, that I really like.

Person of Interest
CSI
NCSI
NCSI LA
Castle
Hawaii 5-0
Elementary
Cutthroat Kitchen
The Walking Dead
The Blacklist
Revolution
Bates Motel (not on right now but will be back)
Bones
Sleepy Hollow
Grimm

Crikey..on BBC

Dr. Who
Luther
Orphan Black

Just to name a few.:rolleyes:
 
I watch Shark Tank Friday nights on ABC

Five billionaires offer startup money to entepreneurs
and explain their strategies. It is very popular.
 
OH's list.
Person of Interest ... sometimes
CSI
NCSI
NCSI LA
Castle ... all yes.

I record the Mentalist usually.
Not too many addictive ones I can think of.
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries is a local one that grew on me and now I'm hoping they'll repeat season one because I missed most of it before I acquired the taste.

I have to admit to watching those renovation 'reality' shows and anything to do with real estate generally. Not that I'm in the biz but it's been a lucky 'hobby' and it still holds a fascination.

I even watch ... look away now please ...the local Masterchef. More drama and laughs in that than Hollywood turns out anyway. ... and I really like the blokes running it, I'd have any or all home for dinner, as long as they brought it with them.

American Pickers is presently up there on my top 10 list, love that show. (I think it's the hoarder and Op shop prowling genes talkin')
 
I tend to record shows and then watch them back to back.

I love watching the cooking shows - Pitchin in is too funny and worth a watch if you haven't seen it yet. Another one is Iron Chef - it is a contest between chefs but it too has it's funny moments. Lately, I'm hooked on a show called "Faceoff". The creations they come up with are amazing - just don't pay attention to any drama that happens, but it is pretty tame on that end too.

Modern family has me laughing too. And.... I need to get my political gossip fix every night on the news and there has been no shortage of scandal this year between Senate expenses and the Mayor of Toronto.

I forgot to mention Faceoff too, I love that show, it is astounding what they can do in a few days! I don't care for the drama either, but the creations. Wow
 
If I can digress, with the advent of digital TV here it seems the networks are buying many old shows, particularly from England, and its fascinating to spot the better known actors of today back then when they only had bit parts of bad guys etc.

Being in the industry, I gave them away years ago Di when that blond singer's boofhead husband attempt to remove a door handle with a pinchbar -- no one could be that stupid. I think its high time Scott Cam moved on or at least dropped his 'ocker' image which drives me nuts
 
Who was it that watched Graham Norton?
Tonight, Kiera knightly, Teri Henry, Kenneth Branagh, and....I have forgotten his name!
so should be good.
 
GoT 3 is on there!!! What gifts can I bestow upon you Kooka? I'd send the car but you'd undoubtedly have a better one. So... thankyouthankyouthankyou.

Question, I've fairly recently upped my data allowance to 50gig p/month, any rough estimate how much an hour of streamlining uses?? Just so I can budget myself a bit.

Thanks again.
 
Thanks for the offer but only bought a new car last week...to answer your question A good estimate would be 2.5 MB for each minute of video... or 150MB per hour...For 1GB, you can watch about 6.5 to 7 hours of video...Incidentally can always log on to your Internet provider website and check your usage?

Hope this helps.

Ooooohhh, wish you hadn't shown me that! The Green God is knocking hard now. That's just gorrrrgeous!
I won't be able to look at the Vectra for days now. :(

Re the gigs... well yeeeehaaaaa! My usage profile is sure gonna change. Thanks again. (but not for the car piccy. )
