Continuing in the tradition of not watching much of the garbage that is on TV, (yes, I am one of those mean parents that limited their children’s viewing) I don’t watch much. But when I do, I find that RTV is my new best buddy. Magnum PI and Rockford Files live. Yes, if you have forgotten how short men’s shorts used to be and how silly they look, Magnum will remind you at 9 p.m. Eastern time. If you like to have to actually think to figure out the storyline, both will suffice. I had a crush on one of these PI’s back in the day. Guess which one?
If you have kids, Leave It To Beaver, Marcus Welby MD are on earlier in the day and let’s not forget the lively and gregarious Joe Friday throwing out his Dragnet in old-time LA.
My latest NetFlix – On the Waterfront with Marlon “I could have been a contender and get met the butter” Brando. Very good watching material and proof that you can still wonder about the size of Karl Malden’s nose. This weekend it’s Twelve Angry Men. Well, maybe. My family is all here to attend a Buffalo Bills game on Sunday and I might have more than twelve of them – live in my living room.

Seems the older series were a lot more interesting than anything today. I find I watch a lot of Bravo, HGTV and FOX news. there are no good shows on any of the three mainstream channels.
