What TV Shows Are You Currently Following?

Season 2 of Instinct starts tomorrow and I am looking forward to it.

My guy got me hooked on Big Brother and it is in a new season as of last week but I was busy licking pussy on camera for a friend's website so will on demand it tomorrow.

It is interesting how even though I have the means to do whatever I want, kicking my feet up and cuddling with my kitten while watching good TV with a bowl of popcorn and a bottle or two of white wine suits me nicely some weeks. It would be nice to get some cheddar flavor before Stinky licks or off the popcorn before I get to it lol.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

It's very funny, and very intense, in a very New York retro jewish way.

I've cleared my backlogue so I can binge on Orange Is The New Black later this month.

I have watched it many times since it was first released, and each time is as fresh as the first viewing.

Ending up watching the series on Saturday. I love the recap at the baseball game, what a great way to end the series.

Also: Captain Sobel, we salute the rank not the man. I love that part!

"In 1970, Sobel attempted suicide when he shot himself in the head with a small-caliber pistol. The bullet entered his left temple, passed behind his eyes, and exited out the other side of his head. This severed his optic nerves and left him blind."

He was blind for the rest of his life, 17 years until his death. He did attain the rank of Lt. Colonel though.

He clearly had some major issues (no pun intended, seriously) and was not a happy person.

Poor schmuck. You get the impression from the series that he tried very hard, but he just didn't get it. He wasn't the right material.

Great performance by David Schwimmer.

Yeah Schwimmer was excellent. The entire cast was really top notch and gave an incredibly believable performance save for Colin Hanks! Bringing him in and his character really disrupted things for me. Probably that was the reality but I could really have done without Colin Hanks and his character.

Sobel's family did not think his characterization in the series was fair and Maj. Winters would later say if not for Sobel and his "training" they would not have survived the war.

".....many of the men credit Sobel’s training regimen with keeping them alive during their first days in combat. Though they referred to him during and after the war as “Him,” because they disliked even saying his name, nevertheless they gave him credit for toughening them up, likely more so than the other companies of the 506th PIR"

They could thank Sobel for the stamina and endurance they relied upon once they touched down in France: without those endless forced marches up Currahee Mountain they would never have had the fitness.

However Sobel was a poor tactician, useless at field navigation, and incapable of earning the respect of those under his command. A football coach could easily have taken his place were it comes to achieving maximum fitness, but in the field, faced with the enemy, Sobel would have taken them to their death...

As he proved in those war games when he decided to move his men (ignoring Winters' belief that that was a stupid move) and got 95% of his company "killed". And again when he got his men lost once they were in England and cut the "cow" fence with the phony voice gag.

It's "car week" coming up on History channel I think it is and ya it gets cheesy with a race between Hasselhoff, Estrada and the guy from A team ...

I am looking forward to the motorcycle jumping stunts they have planned including a car jump over a bus jump over and the fountain jump that saw one of Evil Knievel's worst ever wipeouts. The car jump is a joke as it is 18 cars stacked 3 high calling it a a 54 car jump ...

I think Shark Fest might be a better choice to watch lol

I've been watching Beavis and Butthead quite a bit lately. They are funny as fuck.
