because the ladies have gotten younger, shapelier and play better. And they play every year a tournament at Columbia Edgewater club in Portland, OR where I have played several rounds. It is amazing how much lower they can score there compared to my handicap 12 scores at that course. Very impressed.

It's a similar series - FBI agents investigating strange events while dealing with a larger mystery. The show takes a few episodes to warm up; but once it does, it is fantastic. The second season (of five total) is one of the best seasons of any sci fi show ever.

I kept up with the series for its entire run. I didn't even do that with X-Files (dropped off the last two seasons or so).

So far I kept up with The Walking Dead after about Season 3 - continue to watch as tradition with my daughter even though it is not very good.

Picked up Babylon 5 in Season 2 and watched throughout.

The original Law & Order even though I do have significant gaps where I picked it up in syndication. Dropped off again at the last two seasons.

I have binge watched a bunch of other stuff.

I want to a Dr. Who con in Chicago around 1983. I helped pay to bring Elisabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane Smith) over (not a lot since I was a poor college kid), but she was unable to make it. I did get to meet John Nathan Turner, Anthony Ainley (The Master), and Sarah Sutton (Nyssa). Mr. Ainley was a riot.

114. 'Deadwood' Movie Is Finally a Go at HBO...
Fri Sep 7, 2018, 09:26 AM
Sep 2018

I think it's okay to get one's hopes up...now? But a lot of time has passed, don't know what they'll do with the characters. Obviously, the late Powers Booth won't be reprising his role.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/deadwood-movie-is-finally-happening-at-hbo-1129743
The Hollywood Reporter, JULY 25, 2018 by Rick Porter

Tell your god to ready for…more Deadwood.

Twelve years after the series ended its three-season run, HBO has green lighted a movie that will continue the story of the lawless western outpost. HBO chief Casey Bloys made the announcement Wednesday at his TCA session.

Production on the film is set to begin in October, Bloys said, and he's hoping for a premiere in spring 2019 on HBO. Deadwood creator David Milch is writing it, and Daniel Minahan, who helmed four episodes of the series, is attached to direct.

The production is in the process of lining up schedules for cast members. Bloys demurred when asked for details, saying, "Let's take the green light and celebrate that."

Deadwood ran for three seasons on HBO from 2004-2006, earning eight Emmy wins and a devoted audience. The show ended on what was, to many viewers, an inconclusive note, and talk of — take your pick — a shortened fourth season, miniseries or movies has come up periodically practically since the moment the show ended.

Stories have shifted over the years as to why Deadwood ended after season three; at the time, Milch said he and HBO weren't able to work out a deal for a fourth season, partly because he didn't want to shorten the episode order.

He had a depth to him that Frank was missing and I liked how Charles character grew.

Wayne Rogers for some reason just grated on me. Henry was the only character from the first part that I was truly said to see go but Col Potter was such a great character that once my mind accepted that this wasn't the mad as a hatter character Harry Morgan played in an early episode I really liked him.

98. I watch Agatha Christie's shows over and over again.

Especially Miss Marple. I love that series.

I love most British murder mystery/detective shows - Midsomer Murders, Inspector Morse, Grantchester, Inspector Lewis, Miss Fisher, The Bletchley Circle, etc.

There are so many great ones. I never get tired of them!

For Christmas, my husband gave me the Agatha Christie Complete Cases Collection (33 discs) of Hercule Poirot. They are all wonderful and I never get tired of them either.

Frasier was always on at my house, both when it was on network and in syndication. My mother was David Pierce's Sunday School teacher, my parents knew his, so she was interested in everything he did. He was very talented, even as a kid.

138. Cool! The whole cast was very talented. I don't like Kelsey Grammar's politics

and he seems to have some personal "issues", but I thought he was brilliant as Frasier. I didn't get to see many episodes when the series was first on, but I record and watch them on Hallmark now.

144. One thing I really appreciated about that show was that all the main characters were likable

Frasier and Niles may have been pompous and did silly things, but when it came right down to it, they came down on the right side of things. I agree with you about Kelsey Grammer, his personal life has been a mess, numerous marriages, drug issues, not to mention his politics, but he did a great job on that show. And he actually became good friends with his on screen "brother" who is "one of us." David Pierce's mother died in the local hospital here (where he also ran into my mother when he visited ), and Kelsey Grammer's name is in the lobby on the wall of donors, he donated in David Pierce's mother's name.

Original and the LA franchise are best IMHO, but NOLA is mostly watchable.

I can re-watch them on DVD for hours on end.

If I'm gonna binge something, it would be those.

I admit, I didn't get the fundamental joke behind Maebe's name until the third viewing.

watched it all many times during Bush 2... and now again during disaster Trump.

It is always good to see a decent honorable (and flawed) President and the staff. Great writing and acting. All 7 Seasons like close to a dozen times.

For a comedy interlude... all 13 episodes of "Action" with Jay Mohr, Illeana Douglas, Buddy Hackett and some great bit roles.

I literally rofl'd the first time I saw it. Not everyone's cup of tea but I found it extremely funny... so much so I tracked down the DVD (series only lasted like 1/2 a Season), bought it, and have watched it to the point I can quote all of the dialog. Probably 20 times or more.

My next binge watch comedy will be Silicon Valley... because I've lived here since 1989 and did my own start up software company and almost everything that happens to the guys (and sadly that is truth here, it really is almost all guys do the software) has happened to me or I've heard about it happening to someone I know.

113. MASH
Fri Sep 7, 2018, 08:14 AM
Sep 2018

closely followed by Frasier with Law & Order SUV in third. I watched MASH constantly for decades. By the time Frasier came out on DVD I knew MASH forwards and backwards, so I made a switch. I probably have about 15 more years of Frasier before it catches up with MASH. Now I stream. When I'm old and senile in the nursing home they can just prop me up in front of these two shows and marvel at the fact that I can't remember my name, but I can quote every word of every episode of both shows. The funny thing is that I watched the pilots of both shows when they started and didn't really like either of them. MASH I took to at the end of the first season and Frasier not until sometime mid-second season.

I’ve watched it so many times I can pretty much recite the entire series. My favorite show ever.

I’ve watched House of Cards through maybe six times. I like that one quite a bit as well.

I quote him from time to time.

“In life you have to do a lot of things you don’t fucking want to do. Many times, that’s what the fuck life is: one vile fucking task after another.”

"Pain or damage don’t end the world, or despair, or fuckin’ beatings. The world ends when you’re dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man — and give some back."

153. Tie between Star Trek DS9 and Star Trek Discovery
Mon Sep 10, 2018, 09:16 AM

DS9 was the best iteration of Star Trek, but it wasn't filmed in HD.

Discovery because of its production quality.
