I would have to say I like How to Get Away With Murder even though it's becoming more and more unbelievable and I may end up not liking it after all. And I really like The Big Bang Theory.
My favorite current movie is Kung Fu Panda 3. Really good.

Yea, I liked around the first 3 or was it 4--then it got too much for me even then.
Before it began, I was really looking forward to it.

I have never watched that one yet.
My favorite older movie is 'The Perfect Storm', and my TV series is 'Mom'.

My favorite movie, which has remained a favorite since I was a kid, would have to be The Saint with Val Kilmer. I don't really have a favorite TV show anymore; it was, for the longest time, Chuck with Zachery Levi or Psych with James Roday.

for a movie, I Like "It's a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart & Donna Reed.
I watch The Big Bang Theory now---reruns all during the week & then the current season on Thursday nights.

Sort of sick of The Big Bang Theory although Sheldon's mother is always hilarious.
I like Alaska The Last Frontier but I don't know how much they are really living off the land. I read where they make a WalMart run every once in a while.

It has been getting kind of boring lately, especially with Stewart (the comic book store guy) being a more written for character; I don't like his character, not one bit... He's the cliche nerd with no life that would live in his moms basement.
I've seen the Alaska show, it seems interesting, but my DVR scheduler is full; I may watch a couple of episodes on demand though; the mine portion is the only part that fascinates me. My grandpa Gene was one of the first responders in the Sunshine Mine disaster in 1972, and was a miner all of his life. They left me his safety awards from Asarco (the company that ran the mine) after he passed.

A good portion of the Gold and Silver mined in America has come from the Sunshine Mine. My grandpa got an award after the mine accident, it was this huge amethyst geode and it had these little gold miner guys on it (they looked like little gold army men); it was super neat to see as a kid when we'd visit every summer, but then again, purple is my favorite color. Wikipedia - Sunshine Mine, Shoshone County, ID In the morning of May 2, 1972, a fire broke out in the Sunshine Mine. According to the US Mine Rescue Association, 91 workers died from smoke inhalation or carbon monoxide poisoning; 83 men were rescued, 81 on May 2 and two on May 9. The mine was closed for seven months after the fire, which was one of the worst mining disasters in American history and is the worst disaster in Idaho's history. - Wikipedia

Wonder if anything has happened since 2012?
How do you name one son True and the other Dennis? "two brothers by the names of True and Dennis Blake" Nothing is wrong with the name Dennis but when the other child has such a cool name I'd want to ask mom and dad what they were thinking.
We saw Manchester By the Sea - great acting.

I watch a few minutes of How To Get Away With Murder the other night and evidently one of the students has been murdered and Annalise is on trial for being the killer. I turned the channel. It's just too unbelievable now. Even though I know things are pretend I like for a drama to be somewhat believable but at this point it's just not.

I love watching the reruns of The King of Queens. It's so funny. Kevin James is now on a show called " Kevin Can Wait (2016)", it's not nearly as funny, but it still has its moments.

On the topic of British tv...has anyone watched 'Mrs. Brown's Boys' ? Apparently it was considered crude there....but I laugh my butt off when it comes on.

No I have not seen it--to my knowledge it is not shown in this area. I love many of the British shows...Rod & I would look forward to watching them when he had them available to our area.

You have to watch it from the very first episode to follow along...it has sad parts to it. It is a really emotional series....the way it draws you in is spectacular. It makes you believe that you are watching a 'true to life' series. I love it.

I wanted too and tried to watch a Nextflix series with Drew Barrymore. I like Drew. She's cute and perky and is so nice in interviews but I can't watch her as a vampire eating blood and intestines. Why would a person even make such a stupid series? Disappointed.
Right now I'm watching Hoarders. Makes me want to throw away everything I own.

I've watched Man With A Plan a few times and like it. I love Joey :) Problem is I can't figure out what time it comes on to watch it regularly. I've also seen Kevin Can Wait and thought it was just ok. Don't know when it comes on either. Whatever happened to the TV Guide?

Whatever happened to the TV Guide? You can still subscribe to it, but it is just basically a magazine with a schedule in it (eastern time zone is used) like the papers used to carry--just a general run down...not nice & area complete like TV guide used to be. I contacted them & asked WHY the change--they said it was too difficult to give every area an accurate "guide", what with all the channels, etc. so they went to this... All we have now is channel 99..or to go to TV guide local listings on the internet. The internet has decent information but NOT like the TV Guide used to be. Color me sad...

We went to the movie yesterday afternoon and saw Maudie. It's about the folk painter Maude Lewis. I enjoyed it but it was made to look like more of a love story than the books say it was.

We all like what we like I think. different strokes for different folks.
I myself just went to see the remake of "Murder on the Orient Express" it was good. I would go see it again.
My favorite TV series is "The Big Bang Theory" I can just watch the new ones and also the reruns every day.

Junie, I'm sort of over The Big Bang Theory. They've gotten a little bit too normal. (not sure what that says about me :) )
I binged watched Episodes, which was so filthy I still can't believe I watched it, plus I really liked it.
