When he died I gave up on Survivor and the Greatest Race type reality shows... they call that real life? And since then (8 years now) I have stuck to 1/2 hr comedies and game shows. As my children have healed it has been easier to watch TV again, but I really don't miss that stuff. It just hurt my mind. (Had a student in school who used that expression whenever I asked him to try and do his work... It just hurts my mind.

I did not know there were DVD's of Doc Martin. Now he is an semi-old curmudgeon! I will check my Costco. THank you.
Criminal Minds and Stephen King scare me to much to watch/read.
HGTV and "The GOOD WIFE".

Who needs TV--if I don't like the programming, there are movies for loan at our town library, as well as books and magazines. And, music through a variety of venues. Don't get me wrong, I watch TV when it suits me, but really enjoy the other choices, too. piecefully, the old one
