When I do watch TV it's usually for a ball game or maybe I'll see if a movie is on. There aren't any shows I follow. Here in America the selection of shows is just awful.

Really though, my problem with the current shows is that they all seem so bitter. We don't necessarily need more 'happy' shows, we just need some writers who aren't always so cynical and bitter. Jeez...even the sitcoms only have jokes that are more insults than humor. I used to watch "The Big Bang Theory" but, one day, I started wondering why people who talk to each other like that would consider themselves to be friends.

Some mentioned super hero series

Now that I have some of the channel that broadcast one or more of these series, such as Flash, Arrow and Doctor Who, I could have start following one or more of them. I don't I have missed so much of the series so it would be like start watching a movie after about 1 hours running.

When I don't watch science program-mostly about space I watch a lots of news and when on air and I have time I watch History program.

This comment is an addition to my fist post.

Oscar Wilde

There are some studies that suggest that sarcasm promotes critical and creative thinking since both the person making the making the comment and the person receiving the comment must sift through the difference between the "literal" and "real" meaning of the sarcastic comment. The studies also find that sarcasm is most beneficial when used between people who trust each other (ie; friends & family), and, as with everything else in life, moderation in its use is key.

Every time I read a post by Reece, it gives me a pain in the neck.

Been a little zapping this evening

After I had eat my dinner(Watch the news while eating) I clicked on Program Guide and made some "Reminder" of program I wanted to see

Started with N.24 Der grosse Krieg I knew I may not see the first episode to the end, ´cause on Discovery Science they showed a science program about building a Laser sword-I had seen that program before-went back to N.24.

Until I was reminded of the next program on Discovery Science-This time about building a Laser strong enough to vaporise a planet-Hadn't seen that before. After about 5 minutes I start to miss the program about the Great war-went back to N.24

Saw it until I was noticed about a breaking news-went back to Danish News channel and saw about 5 minutes regarding shooting in Washington. back to N.24.

Watched the first episode of "Maigret" last night starring Rowland Akinson as the French Detective on the hunt for a serial killer in mid 1950's France. Not bad for a low key detective story without all that slam bang in your face stuff we normally get. Looking forward to latter in the year episode 2.

Catching with season 2 of Better Call Saul, do to Daredevil!
Gotham is beginning to and Lucifer is some what fun (for the ones that knows the comic novel, do not see it, if expecting a fair adaptation)!

I've got all of it so far saved on my Tivo but haven't started watching it yet.
