What is your #1 TV viewing pleasure?

Your favorite TV watching?

I love sitcoms followed closely by reality tv.
 
Yes yes, we all like watching a variety of TV, but most people tend to lean towards one kind of TV watching, like sports, or daytime soaps, or reality tv.

What is yours?

Only one choice? I watch most every category on there except for sports and soaps. I have to qualify that a little - only one or tow game shows - The Traitors and I'm going to try Destination X. I would watch Canadian shows if I knew of any..... But I don't watch international shows. I don't like subtitles because you can't watch the actors' faces and reactions while reading, and I don't like dubbing because it drives me crazy when the lips don't match the words.
 
Almost anything without zombies.

Particularly fond of historical drama/adventure and futuristic science fiction. Both old and new, domestic and international.
 
Fictional drama / crime. We are currently working our way through the entire old version of Matlock when we have time and the kids aren't dominating the TV. It holds up.

I think fictional drama and crime has to be my top. I'm re-watching all the old CSI's, The Rookie, and shows I didn't watch the first time around - Criminal Minds, Swat, etc. And I'm watching The Killing - very slowly because I don't want it to end.

There are some good new detective / crime drama series that are based on books that my wife and I have read together. Those are on the list, but the kids control the tv a lot, and we're busy with everything else anyway. It's funny, the kids will actually sit and watch Matlock with us after whining about it, lol.

I did like Matlock. How old are the kids? Any names of those series that you'd like to share?

One is in daycare, and the other just started school. They're both little, but they're growing like weeds. I feel like they'll be teenagers before I know it.

Kind of surprising they'd sit through Matlock.

Oh, and here are a couple newer ones that we have watched :



I want to watch more of this one, which is based on the Tana French Dublin Murder Squad series ;


The books in that series are fantastic, and we've read all of them unless Tana French has written a new one that I don't know about. The first book in the series took me a bit to get into, but every one after that was incredible.
 
I find the rehashing of the 2nd WW really boring. That isn't a knock on whatever you are watching, but to rehash the 2nd WW over and over and over and over again, just gets tiresome (for me at least).
So don't watch it. It's history, you are meant to learn from it.

Believe me when I say this, my history education far exceeds yours. I know you will pout now that I have said it, but read my earlier comment.............
Yes yes yes, but I had a lot of it in history class when in school. I saw a lot of those documentaries, at least until they got silly and started talking about Hitler's sex life or Nazi hidden gold.
Plus my dad was in the military and was REALLY into those magazines about what tanks, planes, ships, guns were being used during the war. He had a stack of them.
My point was, that for me, I have read about the war, seen documentaries about the war, heard about the war from people who were there, so for me, there isn't anything MORE to learn unless someone has a new slant on the war.
As for don't watch it, I already have, plus read it. I don't care to keep re-reading what I have already read. Get it now?

C B Strike? I found Mr Mercedes and added it to my stuff. The other 2 aren't on any of my streaming services, but I'll keep watching for them. Thanks!
 
When watching on our own, my husband is definitely a history and science watcher while I am a cooking show watcher. Together we are fictional mystery/ crime watcher.

Cooking? I can't afford the fancy stoves and ovens and all the ingredients they use on those shows.
 
No........?

OK, just for you............



I used to agree with him, and still do with cable. But now that streaming has come along, so much more to watch.
