Oh yes. The original "The Day the Earth Stood Still"... so well done.

Well Denese @WebWiseWoman , I had to "skip" Grantchester TONIGHT as my old lady (2006 Hyundai Elantra) needed a jumpstart. Had been dead since Friday & my next door neighbors helped out at 9pm. Then I had to drive to keep the charge. Got back & brake light stayed on = aha, reason for dead battery maybe. Anyhow, a teen disconnected the NEGATIVE battery cable to hopefully save on charge. Light is now off. Mechanic only works Mondays thru Thursdays. So 6am ALARM set to call as soon as they open. Hoping they can work on it tomorrow, I need groceries.

Sweet Dreams & I know you ENJOYED Grantchester.

Hi, Nicole,

So sorry to hear about your "old lady" 😉 I gave up driving just before COVID so haven't had to worry about Bessie (my old reliable jeep) or spend money on that at least.

Actually watched the entire season already; episode 2 was okay but next week (episode 3) be sure to watch; it's very emotional and endearing, imo.

Our PBS (VegasPBS.org) rebroadcasts Grantchester (or whatever the current Masterpiece program is) early the next morning (1 AM PT), then again on Thursday (11:15 PM), and finally on Fridays (3:00 AM), so perhaps your local does too?

Let me know if you want a recap of epi 2.

Sleep well and fingers-crossed for the "old lady" to be up and running like a Swiss clock - very inexpensively, tomorrow!

HAPPY dance time = Grantchester is BACK on PBS here in Virginia TONIGHT!!! 🙃

Any OTHER fans out there?

Now, NO ONE has replaced Sidney (the 1st one) and I do get to see him AGAIN & AGAIN thanks to Prime adding PBS Drama to their service.

Take care,

Hi, Nicole!

Just an aside (and promo for PBS), I donate $5 per month to local PBS station and have access to all the seasons of Grantchester (and many other great shows) via PBS Passport.

Only $0.99 less than PBS/Masterpiece on Prime but same shows available and a worthy cause, imho...

Counting down to tonight!

Yes, @WebWiseWoman - having PASSPORT access on PBS is awesome. At the moment I have no spare change as my Retirement Social Security is it each month. NOT complaining, grateful. I use the FREE Android PBS app to watch certain shows. NOT a fan of sitting in front of TV, so have NOT had one for over a decade. But for Grantchester, I will sit for that hour. 😉

Enjoy!!!

Watched Gaspar Noé's movie Vortex (2021) last night. This hit home.

A retired psychiatrist with dementia and a struggling author with a heart condition live their final days together in an apartment.

This film deals with an aging couple coming to terms with their deaths and the impending doom that awaits them. In short, it's a film about old age, dementia, separation & eventual death. When the brain disintegrates before the heart.

Gaspar Noé's movies aren't generally for the faint of heart & are rather unusual. This one was filmed in Split screen following 2 characters. & in French, though well subtitled.

Season 3 of COBRA is on PBS Passport. (Not sure when it will be televised or if it’s on the free app.) This is a UK drama series where top level government officials are fending off threats to national security, and as a result, dealing with the problems that arise in their personal lives.

Netflix just released the 3rd season of Bridgerton, their hit romantic period drama series. This season focuses on the characters Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington.

2 comments (5/16/24) 📺 Anyone watched THE PARIS MURDERS on PBS?

I plan to at 4:30pm ET today IF my free PBS Android app decides to stay on the channel that is NOW showing.

Lol, one NEVER knows... 🤣😂

I hope I like it!!!

Thanks,

Nicole 👵

2 comments (5/17/24) Lol, nope - was in French I am guessing with ENGLISH captions. I just DO NOT understand WHY the "version" of whatever PBS decides to air in the USA cannot be spoken in English. Anyway, glad I got to see it and now know it is NOT one for me.

@SummerOnTheWay1 I really wanted to watch The Paris Murders, but when I saw it was with English subtitles, I gave up. It’s too hard to keep up with the subtitles. I do like the foreign tv shows that have English (usually British English) voice over, e.g. Money Heist on Netflix (Spanish with English voice over).

@SummerOnTheWay1 Wish I had something new to share but my life is mostly chores 😉 followed by 20 minute sauna. My husband has begun crying through most of it, as we moved the seat up for more heat exposure.

Have you watched Maryland on PBS, looks interesting. I am still watching Max Miler on Youtube most every night. Food and history in about 15 minutes and it hits the spot.

1 comment (5/10/24) @LaDolceVita , I saw where you are posting "furbaby" pictures for Allen but when I was begging both you and Ms. Stretch to post some for me = zero.

Lol, poor hubbie!!! 🤣😂

I luv the 1st episode of Maryland and looking forward to 2nd. 💃💃💃

SO GOOD to hear from you.

Thank you,

Nicole 👵
