"The man in the high castle" is not a long book (and has a very strange ending), so I suspect they have added storylines to make a season out of it. Looks quite interesting nevertheless.
Are (fake) memorabilia (like pre-war firearms or watches) a business in the show?

Started watching 2nd season of "The Americans" on Netflix a couple of days ago.

Me, too.

It's curious: this TV series has a good plot, good actors and high production values; but I'm following it basically because of Teri Russell.

Exactly as happened in the past, when she starred Felicity.

After 15 years, her ambiguous, indefinable and ultimately psychological charm, it's even more powerful than when she was 25 years old.

Murdoch Mysteries (6th season) and Rectify (2nd season)  - like both but I really like Rectify.  Supposedly Season 3 was available on Netflix in September, but not for me.  I am hoping it comes online soon.

Rectify is great.  :)  Season 3 is available on the Canadian Netflix, in case you have a DNS rooter to switch your region.

I don't recall seeing anything like that, but it has been a while since I watched the first episode.  If this is in the show, it didn't strike me as major.

Toots returned home even happier than usual because someone gave her a flash drive with "...every single one of the new episodes!" I've never enjoyed having a binge on multiple episodes of the same show, one after the other.  And usually I can handle this particular show, but right now I don't know if I'm watching episode five or episode one hundred and five.

A bit random, but this short scene from the U.S series "Friends" was highlighted on Reddit as being a neat slice of comedy that works with little context. I agree -- it's pretty clever.

Not funny, at all.

Binge watched the first season of Les Revenants (The Returned).  Compelling, but as on other supernatural shows, character motivations sometimes don't make much sense.  Season 2 recently started.  Must be the longest gap between seasons ever.

Well, there goes an opinion by James not sourced to Amazon.com.  ;D

The best comedy tv series since the original "Office." It will return next month for the 9th (and final) time.

One of my favorite clips from it -- the character Mark Corrigan (played by David Mitchell) being righteously angry at junk-heads:

TV's trashiest and pulpiest show is causing quite a stir with the ending of one of its last episodes in which a major character might've died.

(spoiler warning, graphic content):

This is how the episode ended, but what occurred here is clearly vague. Were the zombies chewing on Glenn (the Asian American character) or the other person who appeared to fall on top of him?

It's been the water-cooler discussion of the past week.

Not a lot of programming on the tube that interests me anymore me at this point, so decided to start netting some of the shows that gave us that terrific crime jazz. Starting with one of the "big boys", and what a start with Peter Gunn (1958-61)! Seven episodes in to Season 1 and I have to say I am hooked.  Great one liners, cool hip daddy jazz, crime thumping beats from Henry Mancini, beatniks spouting coded phrases, and bulky cars all neatly wrapped  24 minute stories that keep you locked in.    Even after episode one, the writers had me instantly caring about the main characters.  Now that is good writing.  Hey, when the hang out joint for the main cast is called "Mother's", that is all you need to really know. Youtube it up, folks!

Cage free, hand fed, browns.  Took that pic a few weeks ago.  This morning, Marnie, our daughter,  made up a batch of French Toast with Texas bread and I fried up the thick cut bacon.  We always have a big and less than nutritious breakfast on Sundays.

Raced through season 1 of Treme and loved it. Will be binging on seasons 2, 3 and 4 over the next couple of weeks.
