Yep. I've cut way back on my news consumption! And I visit many fewer websites because EVERYTHING is politicized now.

On a positive note, Psych has a new movie coming out!

Same! I don't bake anymore but I love the polite British humor and drama.

Most recently they've been televising all the local high school graduations.

DH loves to watch Hogan's Heroes before he goes to bed and sometimes I watch The Carol Burnett Show and Perry Mason after that.

I spent most of the summer last year watching Midsomer Murders on Netflix after I broke a bone in my hand and while I was doing at home PT once my cast came off. It's not on Netflix anymore, but it is on the Roku Channel. So I have been watching again.

I've also watched several Hallmark movies.
I watch Midsomer Murders on Acorn. I started re-watching a few months back and have picked up the pace since early March. Is it weird to say that there is something 'comforting' about that show?

I don't watch TV at all except for an occasional local news episode. Everything I watch is streaming, so no commercials or news. (I get news from a few select websites and I have a couple of weather apps that I check in with.) In addition to Midsomer, I've been watching mostly old sitcoms, although Grantchester on PBS has just started a new season and I've got some other shows in my queus that have new (to me) seasons that I want to watch soon -- Marcella, Dead to Me, etc.

I would love to find something to watch in the morning while I get ready for work. For years, it's been GMA or the Today show but I am news weary. Any suggestions? Don't want to really follow a plot while I'm busy getting ready, just something light to have on in the background.

I find The GBBS very soothing. I also request it when I go to my dentist (they have tvs for patients to look up at while there).

I have to find where to view The Great British Baking show. I love baking and anything British, so it should be up my alley. It is not free on Amazon Prime. I will see if Netlix or Hulu has it.

Aw man! It looks like it's only streaming. Why can't things be on regular TV anymore?????

(Sorry. It would still tick me off on a normal day but I am exceptionally crabby today.)
