As this Pandemic rolls on we older folks are challenged daily to find ways to fill our waking hours. Reading books is great, but at my age often results in a nap. Learning to play the piano is challenging, but harder than golf. Speaking of golf – it’s too dang hot right now!
So, let me share with you some ideas using that old stand by – your Television set.
If you are a network TV watcher you are currently trapped in re-runs and it’s only gonna get worse!
Bobbi and I are thankful for The Big Bang Theory on Channel 6, nightly at six o’clock. All re-runs, but so good that watching a Sheldon replay for the 3rd or 4th times is still fun.
“Cord Cutting,” is a phenomenon that can open up a whole new world of entertainment. A majority of customers at cable companies now subscribe only to the internet and stream all their entertainment from places like Netflix, Prime Video, and Hulu.
I’m not an authority, but if you call 208-5000 and ask for Jordan you will be talking to one. You won’t be disappointed!
Let me drop a few viewing ideas on you.
The Kominski Method with Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin is really special. Grace and Frankie with Jane Fonda and Lilly Tomlin is good too. Both are on Netflix.
The Americans, is on FX. It’s a spy series lasting 6 seasons? It’s awesome!
Other favorites for us are: Breaking Bad, Orange is the New Black, Better Call Saul, and Ozark.
If you like documentaries try Jeffrey Weinstein. It will knock your socks off!
Currently, we are watching the third season of Yellowstone starring Kevin Costner as the patriarch of a sixth-generation massive cattle ranch in Montana.
John Dutton, Costner’s character, has three children that all live at the ranch and all are in some ways dysfunctional. Dutton is widowed, blames his daughter for his wife’s accidental death, and just for grins occasionally sleeps with Montana’s lady governor.
If you like cowboys and cowgirls, rodeos, politics, an occasional fight, and some good stories Yellowstone will please you. What might not please you is the occasional salty language, but it would be hard to be a cowboy without saying “damn” once in a while!
There’s a whole new world of entertainment out there for you! A call to Jordan at 208-5000 can help you discover it. That is a promise!
I’m Steve Sauder, and There’s Something to Think About.
