Seasons of shows that I like take forever to get here to Australia and then we get maybe seven episodes before they cut out because it isn't ratings season anymore and we have to wait six months or more for the rest of the season. So I watch an occasional one, while while saving $$$ to buy the seasons, then I have a whole weekend binge.<br />The whispering thing annoys the heck out of me too and shows where the characters all look alike, as if they were members of a boy band.

I tape all shows, primarily so I can fast forward past commercials, but I don't watch till I have 2 episodes stored up. That use to really gripe me, but no more. Good luck with the whispering. Just when you have the volume up so you can hear, they switch to a commercial which is always super loud. Hard to win.

Mrs. C. and i are constantly raising and lowering the volume to hear what's going on. We tape "Downton Abbey" and "The Walking Dead" on Sunday evenings and we watch them on Monday so we can start them early. Sometimes I get confused and can't recall if something happened on "The Walking Dead" or "The Talking Dead."stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-60179587946513554592015-03-06T12:38:21.158-05:002015-03-06T12:38:21.158-05:00You've got some great points here.

Still (sorry to say bad things about cowboy heroes) but after about three episodes of any 1950's western show my sibs and I could anticipate the formula and groaned at the lack of ingenuity. We preferred Rocky and Bullwinkle. At least their villains had funny names and the writing had cool humor.Leeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655189620056032790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-73993223491452305552015-03-06T10:46:00.939-05:002015-03-06T10:46:00.939-05:00with you on the whispering - i think all shows sho...with you on the whispering - i think all shows should do as survivor does and add the subtitles automatically when it gets quiet or mumbly. :) <br /><br />as for accents, i find irish much more difficult to understand than british.TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-26989887735576500382015-03-06T10:42:24.817-05:002015-03-06T10:42:24.817-05:00He rode a white horse?He rode a white horse?joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-27202702056549667872015-03-06T10:40:51.616-05:002015-03-06T10:40:51.616-05:00Details!Details!joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-4936202266587762912015-03-06T10:34:34.241-05:002015-03-06T10:34:34.241-05:00Ummm...

("fresh air" = a word I shouldn't put here)<br />I'll only watch Jeopardy, although sometimes Alex can be a bit pedantic as you've mentioned once before, and The Black List. I just like how Reddington invariably shoots someone with less moral scruples than him. Quite casually too, and on just about every episode. Other that those two (oh, and Elementary, but he has an English accent, so you wouldn't like that) I'm out. Books are still in vogue around here.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523653271715366168noreply@blogger.com
