So I was thinking about this the other day and decided that it was entertaining enough to me that I wanted to write it up. Your mileage may vary, but this is the story of the televisions that I've owned.

When I headed off for college, my parents bought me a non-descript black and white portable TV for me to have in my dorm room. This was a good ( Read more... )

CSI: Vegas wrapped up its short, ten-episode season tonight. Overall, I enjoyed the series and would be delighted to see them pick it up for another run, which they teased at the end of the final episode. We'll see what happens.

Gretchen inadvertently hooked me on "Chicago Fire" as she was catching up on older episodes. We have watched a lot of it this summer, enough so that I got to see the season 9 finale earlier this evening.

I will now go watch the season 10 premiere that aired tonight with Gretchen before we go to bed. :)

We got far less accomplished than we might have hoped this weekend. On the other hand, I think we're collectively in a better mood, so I'm going to take that as a big plus.

The kitchen reconstruction continues. We have put more things back into place while waiting for the last couple of things to be sorted out. I have ordered a new power strip ( Read more... )

We finished our trip through the first five seasons of "The Expanse" last night. We started out slowly watching this, as Gretchen found it extremely dark and mumbly. Then I tried watching an episode on the newer OLED TV in the bedroom. HDR kicked in and things became much easier to follow. Given how complex the plot can be, that's a good thing ( Read more... )

We're watching the new game show, The Hustler, on ABC. This is largely because it is hosted by Craig Ferguson and he's generally funny reading the phone book. :)

But it's an intriguing little game that should appeal to folks who like games like Clue. The objective is to identify the Hustler who is playing the game and who will go home with all the ( Read more... )

Looking for something to binge watch between Christmas and New Year's?

Gretchen and I recently finished our *third* viewing of "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist". The fact that we've now watched this three times in a year should say something good about the series.

Or something about us.

Or maybe both. :)

With respect to tonight's episode of SHIELD: Yes, that's what I thought would happen. Good.

Today was largely spent moving sideways. But we did get the garbage and recycling out for pickup tomorrow (and there was a *lot* of it!), so that was a good thing.

On the TV front, we are now binging our way through "Psych" and "Last Man Standing". This will keep us busy for a while.

We are still (mostly) in the Christmas broadcast TV hiatus, although shows are starting to trickle back into our view. This means that we are catching up on shows that we recorded for later (Arrow) and watching streaming TV (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel). The latter, we just started watching recently when we ran out of back seasons of The Flash. We ( Read more... )
