I used to love watching this show growing up. I own all the DVD box sets. Great characters and just an overall funny cartoon that had leanings towards the older Looney Tunes, which gave it a 'timeless' quality.

With utmost joy I watch "The Pallisers" a series based on the novels by Anthony Trollope made in the seventies. Highly enjoyable, and well remastered. I have it upscaled to 4 k.
Another series I am watching is  "Endeavour" the complete series three. Morse in his early stages of his career, magnificently played by Shaun Evans.

Currently dividing my time between Jane the Virgin, Worst Cooks in America, and Archer, but now that Animaniacs have been added to Netflix, that might rise to the top of the list.

I misread the second title and thought it was part of the first one.  :-[ :D

We loved the first two series of Endeavour, so very much looking forward to the third!

Started watching Documentary Now!  I have a couple episodes down, and the The Hunt for El Chingon is first rate entertainment.  Apparently, it satirizes HBO's Vice, which I've never seen, but everything in this episode is just perfect.  Bill Hader and Fred Armisen play three sets of reporters (two sets get killed) on the search for a Mexican drug lord.  It was made before Sean Penn's adventures, but it has an edge because of that real world bit of "journalism".  Steven Michael Quezada (Gomez from Breaking Bad) plays the drug lord.  Helen Mirren's intros for the special "50th season" are delightful.  I look forward to more episodes.
Where's this one viewable? Amazon, maybe?

I really thought that was just a euphemism for the G.O.P Primaries.

No, but really.

Just started "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schidt" season two.

  Also watched the first couple of episodes of "The Mindy Project" and quite like what I've seen so far.
It's all good...

Revisiting old (black-and-white!) episodes of The Wild, Wild West - not the greatest TV show ever, but highly entertaining on its own terms. The combination of "western and sci-fi" is a bit unexpected, but it works.

Finally getting around to this, and pleased to find it every bit as good as people had been saying. Not at all a mere spin-off.

Yeah, it's awesome! So good that I finally broke down and watched the entire series of Breaking Bad in less than 2 weeks. I like Better Call Saul more.

Finished the six episode second season of Catastrophe.  I liked it even more than the first season.  It starts off a few years after the first season ends, with the couple expecting a second child, family members and friends experiencing various of life's vicissitudes, and proceeds from there.  Un-stilted, real-world-esque discussions on a variety of topics are quite funny, even if those topics include postpartum depression and dementia.  In the first episode, the couple have an argument where the wife says she feels threatened, to which the husband replies: "What, are you a blogger: 'I feel threatened'" (while mimicking typing on a keyboard).  In a later episode, they debate which form of birth control to use, and the husband jokingly suggests condoms, which causes them both to laugh with just right expressions on their faces.  Good stuff, and over in flash.

Recently:



reached the start of series 4 of Spooks, but am getting annoyed at them shedding main characters as fast as Game Of Thrones

SonicMan46

Bones, Season 11 - just purchased on Amazon and streaming - cannot believe this is going now for over 10 years and just renewed for yet another!  Still enjoyable and fresh w/ many returning characters.

Fixer*Upper - first two seasons w/ Chip & Joanna Gaines, a husband-wife team from Waco, Texas, who take old houses and renovate each w/ amazing success - streaming from Netflix - looking forward to the availability of the 3rd season.  Dave :)

The Bridge, series three

By far the strongest of the three, in my opinion
