and summer is over...

[wraithfodder]

Well, okay, it's got two days left, or three, can't recall.

I actually got to a beach three times this summer - a record!! I'd love to do it every week but there are no free beaches here :( Sigh...

TV-wise, well, let's see. Nothing has caught me fannishly, like Stargate Atlantis. Virtually everything on SyFy is meh to me, although I do watch Z

I'm much the same with TV these days...was really into NCIS for a little while, but drifted away from it a bit. Nothing's ever gonna replace SGA for me!!

And you need to pay to go to beaches??

[wraithfodder]

Yeah, no freebie beaches for me. Every town has them sewn up. One charges $50 for a weekend visit (and that's just one!) if you don't live in that town. Totally insane. I want free beaches.

Oh, I also watched Whispers on ABC, but that's probably gone, and Zoo on CBS. Did watch Under the Dome and finally (phew) they did not renew it. Should have been just one season.

Yikes...We've got a million and one beaches in Scotland, all of them free. We've got legislation which gives us the 'right to roam' so we can walk just about anywhere. I've never been charged to go to a beach anywhere and I've been all over Western Europe.

Charging to go to a beach just seems ludicrous to me...I feel so spoiled, there's literally hundreds of beaches and coves within a 20 mile radius of where I stay.

I hate to say I barely watch TV these days.

Or, get this, the beach is free, but there's nowhere to park due to private houses along the beach and although laws state they must provide passage, they do their best to deny people access to what they consider 'their' beach.

damn, I'm jealous. I want a free beach, but I get to pay for a beach with not the best water quality either!

I watch TV but honestly rarely record anything anymore. If I like a show, I'll buy the DVD set when it comes out, so that's, um, just Person of Interest. More interested in getting some older shows on DVD and not the newer stuff.

:(

You can even camp on our beaches for free...I honestly can't understand why people would want to deny you access to a beach...What state are you in? Are they all like that?

Where I am it's like beach central...I live near a large inland loch which has hundreds of beaches...there's literally dozens of other lochs in the area which nearly all have beaches, and with Scotland being so tiny I'm 10 - 20 miles away from the coast in one direction and 40 or so miles from the other coast in the other. If you ever come to Scotland I'll take you to some of the best beaches we have cos I think everyone needs a day at the beach!!

My DVD collection is getting pretty big these days and it's mostly old TV shows I keep going back to. I wish there was more good TV on these days, but I think the thing I hate the most about shows now is how generic the characters are. Every show seems to have the same cast breakdown and no characters stand out unless they're really designed to...It all seems kind of soulless :(

The tri-state area. Camping on beaches... don't know if you can do that around here. Sure hope I can get to Scotland again (was there once, it was great!) as I'd love to see the beaches. Did the tourist stuff (castles, moats, etc.) wow, back in the 80s I think, yeah, Reagan was president then.

Unfortunately the generic cookie cutter characters are everywhere. You turn on a SyFy channel and it's like the only thing they do is change the plot a little, which is why ZNation is about the only show I watch on it and that's for the snarky mutant zombie Murphy, whose voice I love.
