I wait until the shows are in Netflix. I binge on them until they become boring, and it can happen within days, instead of waiting for seasons to come and go

Me dino still likes your dogs.

I really liked House and The X Files too.

Hmmm. I've been reading a lot of thriller and mystery books by Canadian & English authors lately and they are quite good. It always tickles me how the spelling and their vernacular is so different than ours. I will try to check out some of these shows.

Some of these shows I like, but the one that I liked the most was Shadowhunters..a series of the movie City of Bones... first season was entertaining... now at the end of every show, they have two guys kissing.... hope they make room for another show soon.

So true! I find horror stories all the time about public schools. I always share them on FB and tell people to get the kids out of gov't education!

Yes, when they portrayed the "capitalists" as evil for wanting out of food rations and for wanting more freedom it kind of lost me. And these terrible Capitalists turned out to be killers and control freaks I gave up.

Fox News?

I don't believe I am familiar with any of these. I used to watch Justified, which I though was very good.

One of my very favorites! Too bad it is over, huh?

I used to watch the original Star Trek, but haven't been able to get into the new ones at all. I'll have to check out The Orville!

Yes, I used to watch that show too.

I love that show! I still watch the reruns. lol

The most obvious destruction by SJWs is what's happened to the Star Trek family, with the latest version literally unwatchable. I much prefer The Orville, which is more like the original Star Trek.

Longmire-good
Frontier-good

Another very entertaining UK TV series is Doc Martin, which manages to depict the actions of its extremely asocial doctor/protagonist in a clever and often hilarious way. The other characters in the show are fleshed out better than usual as well.

Foley's War-very good
Injustice-good
Broadchurch-good
Bosch-good
Murder in the First-good
Chance-good

Yes. While this doesn't exactly match your observation: I loved the first season of Walking Dead. Then, at least to my eyes, they took a chimp-fisted approach to character development and inserted a bunch of over-the-top drama between the living characters...Lost me in season 2.

But, overall...I cannot believe how stupid most tv shows are. I can't watch them. I can't watch any of the ones my wife likes, except the cooking shows. The tv has become a conduit into our homes to distribute material normalizing really dysfunctional behavior. I don't let my kids watch any of that garbage, nor the evening news. I noticed in their fervor over Trump, the prime time (dinner-time) news started covering very "Hard-R" material. My daughter's eyes got really big one night at dinner time when the tv was on. No more of that now...

Me dino has not seen those four listed shows. Save for being a "The Walking Dead" and an Alabama football fan, I usually watch Fox News or a movie.
Lib propaganda in a TV show may have started with All In The Family,
Even though the Vietnam War, rock music and the influential counter-culture of the late 60s was turning Teen Dino into a lib (I late 70s matured out of it), I'd groan when Meathead rattled off specific historical dates no one would remember when defending his lefty views with Archie, the most beloved bigot of all time.

I'm just guessing that you really like Mysteries and crime shows?...laughing

Probably the only things that make sense these days...

I only have viewed The Last Ship but got tired of it quickly...haven't watched any of the other shows...gave up on mainstream tv a long time ago.

You're right. The last episode I watched was when they found the killer because he was reading The Fountainhead. "Sherlock" goes off on a diatribe about - what did he call us? - "psychopaths", I think - who give Ayn Rand the time of day.

tv shows for the past ? number of years are designed to attract those who have been educated in government schools, you get what you pay for.

If you like mysteries I recommend the following:

1. Murdoch Mysteries (Canada) 11 seasons ongoing. Definitely recommend starting with the first season first episode. There are ongoing story arcs that you'd miss otherwise. Murdoch is an inventor who uses the scientific method to solve crimes as a police detective in Toronto at the turn of the 19-20th century. The writing is very good and characters consistently praise personal responsibility and productivity.

2. The Brokenwood Mysteries (New Zealand) 4 seasons of 4 x 2 hour episodes ongoing. Maybe the best of the genre. You may need to repeat some dialogue until you get used to the Kiwi accented English, but its worth it.

3. Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (Australia) 3 seasons ended in 2015 -possibly returning

There are a few political issues mentioned occasionally. Murdoch and Fisher are set in early 20th century so women's voting rights and working are touched on several times. Brokenwood has a lot of interesting, off-beat characters, and it is in some ways similar to Midsomer Murders, which is a British mystery series that I also recommend.

All of these series are available on Acorn tv, an inexpensive (monthly subscription) internet streaming service that also offers dozens of other non-US tv series (many worth seeing.)
imo, even the news is preferable to "reality" shows. ;^)

We used to watch Elementary, the actors were good and I like Sherlock Holmes. But watching "Sherlock" go into a liberal tirade every episode was too much for me. Having a character who is supposed to be governed by logic spouting that drivel was more than I could take.
