41 new Hallmark movies? Time to update the Geneva Convention on war crimes.

This is true for the majority of people though.  This is human nature.  All of us have said and done stupid things in our 20s but it never used to be on social media forever.     “Cancelling” f

No kids. 

this is probably fair.......

The wife and I watch all 3 Law and Order's, Young Sheldon and Young Rock on network TV (she watches Days Of Our Lives....sigh...). We (or I) stream Succession, Barry, Ted Lasso, Shrinking, Poker Face, Righteous Gemstones and Winning Time when they're "in season". The trouble is fitting them around sports...especially hockey season when there's seemingly a game every night (either Oilers or Jets). But we make it work...

We definitely don't have that many shows on the go but then my wife is often busy with other stuff and I can easily lose hours (days?) gaming... perks of being a dink!   😂

my wife and I laugh about being DINK's all the time.... we may regret it in 20-30 years, but for now, it's a healthy lifestyle for us. I've never really been a gamer, aside from retro stuff.... we'll occaisionally pull out the Wii or N64, but that's about it.

You're missing out. There is some mighty fine story telling in video games these days...

Last of Us

Last of Us 2

God Of War

God of war Ragnarock

Red Dead Redemption 2

Ghost of Tsushima

Mass Effect Series

 

Pick up a PS5 and substitute one or two of your least favourite shows with a game or two.

Yep, these are my kind of games, the ones with the great stories. Haven't touched GOW (yet) but can vouch for the rest of em!

woof...that's a big no thanks for this guy. I've thought about getting one of the new units (PS or XB) but only for sports games. Even then, the controllers are way too complicated for this 43 year old man. I could handle my Genesis for NHL 97 just fine....now....there's way too many buttons/joysticks going on. 

You know what game got me closest to buying one? The new Bassmaster video game where you can play as Jeff "Gussy" Gustafson (from Kenora) on the pro bass fishing tour. Ha ha. That's more my style...

Don't sell yourself short. I agree it looks daunting, but if you give it a shot with a bit of patience- it will eventually be second nature. Age has nothing to do with it- there are a nice selection of quality of life and accessibly settings that can make a game more friendly to someone just playing for the story. You can literally customize the different areas of difficulty. 

I'm 48 and have no problems with the controllers- granted, with every new game the controller map out changes and it takes some time to get used to. 

Also, the jump from wii or n64 controller to PS5 or Xbox controller is not that huge.

But seriously, just jump in and try it out- I personally think that some of the best story telling these days is in these games.

Sounds like because of the strike most shows are going to premiere during midseason

 

and apparently Deal or No Deal Island is going to be a thing, and they ordered YET another AGT spinoff

https://tvline.com/2023/05/12/nbc-fall-schedule-2023-lineup-la-brea-organized-crime-midseason/

 

well they don't surprise me, Big Sky wasn't packing the punches it threw in the first season, and let's face it Alaska Daily and The Company you keep relied too much on their leads (one of them fresh off of This Is Us) but they gotta make room for the Incoming 911 (and hopefully The Good Lawyer)

If you haven’t checked out Line of Duty on Netflix, Slow Horses and The Capture on Apple, you should. I really enjoyed them.

Yay more Masked Singer (because well like I told someone in the comments non tvline when bringing up Farmer Want a Wife that "They may have to bring it back...Writer's Strike" no I don't watch FWAW) with the strike there won't be much to watch (except for sports of course...but that's not til the fall)

"America Decides" had to be the worst episode of Succession I can ever recall watching, they made the election coverage so real it was near boring.

easily one of the best episodes of the series.... so many incredible moments. Absolutely terrifying speeches by Connor and Menken..... Roman going full Nazi. Some absolute classic Tom/Greg moments... man what an ep. Can't believe they're going to somehow wrap this all up in only 2 more eps!!!!!

I just can't get excited about anything Walking Dead related anymore; gotten so predictable.

Peaky Blinders' final season has been quite a ride. I'm looking forward to the last episode, which should be a real gooder.

Cillian Murphy is a gem.

I stopped watching in the 3rd season, I think? I still want to continue it but I've been short on time.

I finally watched and finished Picard. That was a lot of fun but not really sustainable. I would watch Star Trek: The Next Next Generation, without Raffi. I did not enjoy that character.

PVR?

Or stream them later. I do that.

Love the exodus from that network.
