'Bout the only thing I watch regularly is Counting Cars , these days . Danny and the boys put on a pretty good show . The old " worth watching" shows were numerous , Mash , Barney Miller , Happy Days , Laverne and Shirley , etc etc .

the friendly giant lived in grafton a short distance from Cobourg, I met him on a few occasions and did some yard work for him at his house years before he passed away.  what a nice old guy he was.  he had many of the props and puppets from his show at his house.  bob homme was his name

 Any of the shows with puppets always freeked me out . They talked way to slow and where far to nice for my liking.

the rabbit the duck and the bird all beating the crap out of each other was way closer to reality.

Haven't watched any of Tv, other than a bit of drag racing at my sons, or a bit of nascar.

The rest is such a bunch of brain dead poor quality programming, what a waste of life watching dumb chit and dumb people, no talents , who produce nothing in life and get paid for this mind wasting crap.

 I find myself watching a little bit but with the sound muted I just can't stand a commercial every 3-4 minutes and then loud background music on some car show that I'm trying to follow. So now I take a few minutes in the morning and set my pvr so I have something good to watch at night and fast forward through the commercials. What a life we live in,terrible way to rise kids.

what about sesame street ??.
do you remember the episode of the beach combers where they raced relics boat against some fast local boat ??. for charity or some sheyitt ??. The Relic was losing so he pins it an runs the jet boat over a sand bar to get ahead of the other guys ??. Now that's a freakin racer right there ..77.
or the Canajun nature show , that the utube crack spiders is based on , where they played the same theme music whether they were talking about the b c salmon run , or polar bears killing and eating seals on the ice pack .
pretty much now me an the woman just watch 2 . 5 mens , big bang , sons of anarchy , I like wilfred , she doesn't . the odd movie or comedy channel
one show I do get a kick out of is splatalot . that show kills me , cause with fractures , 1 vertebrae , 8 ribs , both hands an feet , and a fracture of the left temporal bone , banged up discs , 3 in spine , 2 in neck .
I sit there amazed at how their bodies can bend when they fall , I,d be dead or paralyzed on the first fall ha ha ..77.

I'm probably dating myself but Remember the old Westerns? there was Paladin in Have gun will travel, Johnny Yuma was The Rebel. Then of course Gunsmoke, The Rifleman, Bonanza and my all time favorite, Hugh O'Brain as the man himself in The Legend of Wyyat Earp. Remember the straight brimmed hat and of course that 23 inch barreled Buntline special. Great stuff.
