I loved Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, and that prompted a purchase of a beautiful bedside lamp with Crystal droplets from that era. I really want to watch Agatha Raisin, but haven't purchased Acorn yet, although it's on the list for a future purchase, as we currently have Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime (enjoyed Downton Abbey, The Good Wife reruns, a new show Mrs. Maizal, there), and recently started HBO Now. We have DISH TV, but after the end of our contract, went with fewer channels, as we love streaming our shows.

I loved it and just saw it on Sundance! I read the book a long time ago. I read the 2nd book and the 3rd book in the series. In the last few pages of the 3rd book, there are two witches sharing their interest in murder mystery novels and they mention these detectives Gemma and Duncan. I thought of you when I saw their names.<br /><br />Love streaming TV because there are no commercial interruptions. We were watching Murphy Brown on CBS and there were many ads! These days we rarely watch TV unless it is PBS or cable tv like Starz for Outlander or the Hallmark channels for their adorable movies! The actress from Agatha Raisin was on a Hercule Poirot mystery on PBS. I love Midsomer Murders and can get all of the episodes on streaming TV. On PBS, they repeat the first ten years of Midsomer Murders.<br /><br />Laughing about critics because I rarely agree with critics. A critic said that young people are not interested in foreign films because of the English subtitles. I penned a letter to the newspaper, pointing out that there are young deaf people who love foreign films because of the English subtitles. It is only in the last 5 years that movie theaters are accessible to deaf audiences. We can get the Caption machine at the check in and watch any movie with the caption machine :-) . It meant that we could catch movies nominated for Academy Awards instead of waiting months for the movie to be released on video!<br /><br />DianaBibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-58439479953573210642019-01-26T15:41:39.404-05:002019-01-26T15:41:39.404-05:00I'm a streamer!

I just caught up to The Good Place - this is the BEST show going, IMHO. Smart, funny, thoughtful - truly, every time I think they have no place to go with the plot, they twist it and I am left gasping (that never happens to me) and am hooked even deeper than before.

We do have an outside antenna which we can use to get off-the-air, but we also have Tablo from Amazon which allows us to stream and record broadcast channels. We bought the most expensive one (allows us to watch/record four things at a time, which we seldom need) but two years worth of no satellite or cable bill has way more than made up the initial investment. And what we pay for our streaming services is a pittance compared to that monthly bill. I do miss BBC America, but most things I watched are available from other services. The thing I REALLY miss is the Food Network. I suspect they are in contract with the cable/satellite companies, and hope that will change and it will become available streaming, as is HGTV.<br /><br />My husband doesn't watch sports, so that's one thing I don't have to worry about!Deborah Crombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988750789088153601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-62984469480112767182019-01-26T14:52:18.151-05:002019-01-26T14:52:18.151-05:00MY daughter will be thrilled to know there's a...MY daughter will be thrilled to know there's a new Veronica Mars!<br /><br />I've meant to watch The Good Place, Mark, so will add to my list.Deborah Crombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988750789088153601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-19909832905149939062019-01-26T14:20:05.038-05:002019-01-26T14:20:05.038-05:00I don't stream.

Of course, most of the time it is on my DVR, so I don't really change the channels, do I?<br /><br />Anyway, if you aren't watching The Good Place, you must. So funny! As a Christian, I feel the need to point out that I don't agree with the show's theology at all, but I don't watch network TV shows for theology. Very funny, intelligent show.<br /><br />And I will have to figure out streaming when the new Veronica Mars shows up on Hulu later this year.Mark Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567392254011373198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-15478428063197641702019-01-26T13:37:30.389-05:002019-01-26T13:37:30.389-05:00I am loving A Discovery of Witches, also!

I keep promising myself I'll look into Hulu but haven't done it yet. What gadget allows you to watch the local stations? That's been my hold-back.<br /><br />Your description of The Rookie reminded me of the Cagney and Lacey reboot, TV movie? Lacey comes back to the force finds herself a rookie and Cagney is now a supervisor. Anyone else remember that? The experience/rookie conflict drove the show, and in the case of The Rookie, life experience can serve the same purpose.

They came out, tried it, nope. We get regular cable, the Big Four (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox) don't seem to have much to interest us, but we do have to change channels with the remote. We watch some PBS shows: Newshour, Nature, Nova, Midsomer Murders, Father Brown, Victoria. We also watch 60 Minutes, and Wife has been watching Masked Singer (I say no, thanks). So I guess we're missing a lot, but reading is a pretty good thing too.Rick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978136287154214297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-59068995853343335262019-01-26T12:08:53.206-05:002019-01-26T12:08:53.206-05:00I loved Mal, but Castle, not so much.I loved Mal, but Castle, not so much.Deborah Crombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988750789088153601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-31399565871907274102019-01-26T11:57:44.757-05:002019-01-26T11:57:44.757-05:00It is hysterical.
