Anybody here like Coronation Street? It's a soap opera, (the makers prefer 'continuing drama'), set in the back streets of Manchester that I've been watching and enjoying for 40 years now. I know that there are fans in Canada because there's a bar in Toronto there where it's fun to catch up on the omnibus edition with fellow fans, that's shown every Sunday afternoon and my pals in Guelph are big fans too. Dunno about US interest though. I don't expect it's too keen.

I enjoyed Big Bang for a few seasons. I'm just burned out on contemporary sit com. Dar and I have been watching the old Monks on DVD and enjoying what we missed (didn't see it first time 'round). He doesn't seem that abnormal to me. Hah! Nancy keeps exclaiming, "Hey, he's just like ME!". Not me, mind you... her. My best friend Andy's youngest daughter (she still calls me Uncle Evan  ) played in two of the episodes. We are broadcast only and have slim viewing options. We do quite a bit of PBS, Law & Order, Monk and The Rifleman. That's about it. I HATE sitcoms. The Simpsons excepted, natch. Never saw even one episode of Friends. Nor of Seinfeld. |

The Simpsons excepted, natch. . Good call. Possibly the best comedy ever on tv. |

I find I no longer watch many shows at their usual times, my schedule and interests just keep changing. I like BBT, but then, those are my people! Yeah, there's a laugh track, but I find the jokes funny. Another thing, the science is apparently true, they're not just spouting pseudo-scientific sounding BS. And the characters are completely believable, I KNOW people just like them. Most scientists I talk to about it also find it funny. I also like the Simpsons, very clever (yes, and often crude) but often brilliantly written. Little known factoid: Simpsons written by math geeks |

The Walking Dead started back up again last night. Just my kind of show -- no laugh tracks.
