Yesterday, we watched the movie, Oppenheimer. Excellent movie, and the actors were outstanding. It’s deserving of all the awards. It’s 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 won’t feel that long!

@MaVolta Do you like your Peacock subscription? I have been looking for a site to stream newish movies.

@LaDolceVita - I only took a one month subscription to see this movie. You can check their website to see what’s 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 that’s 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 isn’t 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 ‘free with Prime” 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! 🙄

1 comment (4/1/24) 📺 @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. 🙄

@SummerOnTheWay1 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.

1 comment (3/29/24) @jonibee , I have NOT watched "Little House" in a very long time. Lol, I had a crush on Michael Landon from his Bonanza days. But lost it when I hit age 16. 👵

(3 comments) We would luv to hear YOUR TELEVISION STORY!!! 📸 See attached picture 📸

I am age 66 this year and grew up on "Black & White" television. One station that was ONLY working a FEW hours each day. And only adults watched, kids were outside playing. 👵

Nice pictures!! I also grew up in the age of black-and-white TV. I’m 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 I’m 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!

I watch mostly on our smart tv. When traveling I watch on my mobile phone or hotel smart tv. Love going to the movies during weekday matinee if movie has interesting cinematic visuals

4 comments (3/29/24) @Medaase , are the Matinee Tickets still discounted?

Poirot tv series with David Suchet was a really good show to watch. ***]

Contributor ⭐⭐

Not familiar. Thanks.

1 comment (3/7/24) @Medaase , I want one as they are the ONLY ones who have it but right now - NOT in my Retirement Budget to sponsor PBS. It is a "game too" with stuff to do once puzzle is completed. Beautiful artwork... 😎
