fortyearspickn Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 8 hours ago, Whitefang said: What the government gives PBS and NPR is a mere pittance compared to how much federal funding goes to other federal funded projects. Some of them worthwhile and others some senator's or congressman's pork barrel. The rest of their operating revenue comes from donations gathered from their seemingly never ending pledge drives. And they're clever enough to schedule the really interesting stuff during those times. Whitefang Yeah - the NPR/PBS/Pravda budget is less than what the Department of Defense gets. That wasn't my point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) I just watched The Breakfast Club. Haven’t seen it in a decade or so. It was okay in the 80’s. High School kids picking on each other, now we all get a hug and it’s cool if you wear Eeyore pajamas to school. And boys can use the girls bathroom, cause their medically enhanced chicks.

merciful-evans Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Re-watching Connected: The Hidden Science of Everything (2020 docuseries). The Digits episode is especially good. About finding structure in random numbers. The last 2 films we watched on Netflix were a miserable waste of time. 'Let Him Go' a couple of days ago & 'Virtuoso' last night.

I always liked that movie. My favorite movie in that genre is "Some Kind of Wonderful". If you haven't seen it, give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed in end of The B C, when the brain kid Brian gets picked up after detention that John Hughes was in the drivers seat playing his father. He had no speaking part in the movie.

I guess that was his Alfred Hitchcock moment. We first got cable TV around '81 or so and a lot of those flicks were hitting HBO and the other premium stations. My kids taped most of them(VHS player/recorders hitting the market at the same time) and watched them so much they could recite the dialog by heart along with the actors on the tape. "Sixteen Candles" was another one they wore out. I don't think I've ever seen a Molly Ringwald where she didn't cry over something not that important.

Damn. I don't do the "FartBook" thing. If HARDCORE PAWN still focuses on that Detroit pawn shop i've always liked that show, but the channel that carried it on my cable service dropped it for reasons never stated.

ksdaddy Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 My wife and I have been hooked on "To Catch a Smuggler" and "Mysteries of the Abandoned" lately. I watch Jerry Springer (reruns) and Steve Wilkos but she gets bored with that really quickly. Same old, same old. I agree, but sometimes I have a yen to see skanky hillbilly chicks. I do enjoy crappy old movies. This week I tried watching Superfly. Bored me to tears, couldn't finish it. Also watched Dolomite. The acting was so bad I couldn't HELP but watch it all. And there were many Cadillacs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBSinTo Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Our son and daughter-in-law just got a kitten to add to their zoo ( five kitties, two dogs......and two children). The new kitty is a domestic longhair/ ragdoll mix and is very cute. We video-chat almost every night just to see the antics of the various zoo members as they interact. Much better than most of the commercially available stuff. RBSinTo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen it listed on the cable guide where it shows what's on the CBC channel we can pick up in Detroit. If so, I'd check it out. If it's HALF as funny as Schitt's Creek, then it's probably TWICE as funny as anything produced in the states. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
