At 10pm ET I am watching this on PBS TONIGHT:
The Trouble with Maggie Cole, 2020, Drama, 1 Season-6 episodes. Maggie Cole is the self-appointed oracle of her close-knit community. Maggie makes it her business to know a little bit about everyone's lives, and certainly pays no attention to the adage that `those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones'.
*** I saw it back in 2020 on television ***

I just finished watching "Secrets of the Forbidden City" on PBS. Totally fascinating how huge this structure is, all manual labor and that it has survived the chronic earthquakes. Anyone else saw this?

@SummerIsTooHOT I did sign up once but they wanted lots of money for the movies I wanted to see and their own content was not so great. I cancelled after the trial, butI did notrealize they made an annual offer.
@MaVolta The movie I want to see is Oppenheimer so I may try to get Peacock for a month ๐. I plan on ditching Acorn for Britbox this summer when my yearly expires. I do contribute to PBS every month to keep up my streaming service. Website is klunky though.

@SummerIsTooHOT - I saw it years ago! Itโs very well done like all of the British period dramas. If I remember, itโs based on a novel, like most of them are.

Yesterday, we watched the movie, Oppenheimer. Excellent movie, and the actors were outstanding. Itโs deserving of all the awards. Itโs currently streaming on Peacock. It is a 3 hour movie, so plan to watch it when you have plenty of time to enjoy it. It moves pretty fast, so it wonโt feel that long!

@LaDolceVita - I only took a one month subscription to see this movie. You can check their website to see whatโs streaming before you sign up.
Of the streaming services, I tend to watch mostly Netflix. I want to try out Paramount + one of these days. From time to time, I will sign up for a month of Hulu if they have something I want to see. I also have a subscription to Max, but thatโs because they have series shows I like to watch.
I like Prime Video, but you have to rent almost all of the newer titles. The rental fee isnโt too bad though in most cases, and I try to get the digital discounts with Amazon day deliveries. There are more recent titles in the โfree with Primeโ and sometimes older titles that I enjoy watching.The thing that gripes me about Prime Video is that if I want ad-free, I now have to pay an additional $7.99 or something, in addition to the annual Amazon Membership fee that keeps going up. I mean really, how many yachts, houses, and cars does one guy need! ๐

1 comment (4/1/24) ๐บ @LaDolceVita , since you know more about PBS than I do - couple of questions please.
[1] NEW Masterpiece or RETURNING series happen 4 times each year = Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter?
[2] So NEXT batch should be THIS MONTH as part of Spring batch? With Nolly finishing in March, there will be a break. I seem to remember April 17th being a start date???
Lol, let me know IF I have totally confused you. I am confused in regards to PBS programming. ๐

@SummerIsTooHOT Haha I do not pay that much attention to the schedule. But I have been watching PBS for a LONG time and do remember my favorites. We had discussions dedicated to TV and especially PBS which I loved back in the here on AARP.
BTW I was a bit Acorn fan for several years, looks like I will be canceling this summer. Kinda dud now.
Are you familiar with Seniorlearn.org? they have a long running PBS discussion.

@SummerIsTooHOT I loved TV since it first made its apperance in my world! The first was a cartoon bedtime story watched by a Teddy Bear, and after the story he would brush his teeth and march off to bed. Then Yogi Bear and the Flinstones, Bugs Bunny were favs. I still Love Lucy and Ethel too. I am a super Green Acres fan as an adult, did not watch it as a kid. There is some humor there if you catch it that is definitly not for kids ๐.
With less shows to watch most folk watched the same shows and there was lots of discussion thefollowing day, even in grade school. I miss that. Now people watch vastly different content. I had better stop now or I will begin complaining.

Nice pictures!! I also grew up in the age of black-and-white TV. Iโm 70 years old and remember watching television with my siblings and parents often. We loved watching westerns, Perry, Mason, cartoons and comedies. Sometimes my parents would put Red clingy protective film over the screen. I always assumed it was for protecting our eyesight, but Iโm not really sure.

How do you watch TV, your movies?
I watch everything on my Android. Since retiring, I am a PBS free app fan. Was NEVER a TV fan, boring. And forget cinemas, way too many rude folks!
