What's new

What are you guys doing right NOW??? ;)

Starting Downton Abby again for the night. Half way through the third season, seeing lots of little stuff I missed the first time around.

I like rewatching, too. It's so great that we have all sorts of access to shows and movies nowadays, compared with before.

I've been rewatching Mad Men.

All the options we have now for watching TV shows and movies are a far cry from when I was a kid and all we had were 2 TV stations that went off the air every night. There was no such thing as cable TV or VCR's.
 
We had a television at school. Didn't have one at home until I was about 7 or 8. Maybe that's why I can live without it now.
 
My father loved TV and still does. He goes to sleep with it on. When I visit, the noise sometimes wakes me, so I go into his room to turn it off because he's dozed off. He somehow hears that it's off, wakes, turns it on again and then falls back to sleep, lol.

My husband and I cut cable years ago and stopped watching TV. Since Netflix started streaming, we watch shows that way, but I still like to read, as I did as a kid.
 
I like public tv. my favorite new series is called Bletchley Circle.four lead women who worked in the 2nd WW as code breakers who then because of the official secrets act are sworn to secrecy about what they actually did during that time and are forced back to a limited life giving the work back to the men after the war is over.They ran the factories and are now expected to once again be satisfied to go back to house work etc.Brilliant!

I'm reading "The Girls of Atomic City" by Denise Kiernan. The secrecy and female contributions to the WW II effort are similar. It is set in Oak Ridge TN.
