We watched first season on rented DVDs then continued on TV later.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-37424281356195402042012-05-20T08:13:13.031-05:002012-05-20T08:13:13.031-05:00Wisewebwoman ~~ We need our TV for weather warnin...Wisewebwoman ~~ We need our TV for weather warnings - they keep close track of tornadoes via radar etc, and that alone is worth the expense. So we make what use of the box we can.<br /><br />I do enjoy TV though - have to admit - always have, but am selective about what I'll watch - especially here in the US.<br /><br />We didn't watch <i>House</i> after the first few shows of its first season - found it formulaic and neither of us liked the leading character. I dislike any medical/hospital based shows anyway......so the jazz went by us I'm afraid. :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-88925563861419603632012-05-19T19:53:17.861-05:002012-05-19T19:53:17.861-05:00Oh and Fringe looks promising - I will check it ou...Oh and Fringe looks promising - I will check it out on DVD. Thanks for the tip :)<br /><br />I agree with you, Wisebewoman -- I don't have cable and just watch what I want on DVD or thru internet streaming. Cable costs too much.Junohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257525915245560613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-62986411300759473652012-05-19T19:49:53.929-05:002012-05-19T19:49:53.929-05:00Thanks for your reviews :) I am out of the TV loo...Thanks for your reviews :) I am out of the TV loop for the most part. I agree about this season of MadMen -- very disappointing, indeed, and I LOVED the show before. I just really dislike some of the characters now, and the way they are acting goes against their personality types. Also, there are so many new characters, some of my favorites like Lane and Joan hardly get a mention.Junohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257525915245560613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-46189823811550342142012-05-19T17:50:37.115-05:002012-05-19T17:50:37.115-05:00Thanks for filling me in on the Teevee Tides and T...Thanks for filling me in on the Teevee Tides and Times which validates yet again why I threw mine out over 20 years ago.<br />I just buy the DVDs of the best shows (as you know!)and I am regretting somewhat my purchase of Season 4 or 5 of House which is proving to be a yawn. Damn.<br />I DO love his jazz, though - does Himself?<br />Xo<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.com
