[QUOTE=Roberta;7357506]I have stuck with the PBS series Indian Summers, why I don't know. I find it boring and more then confusing the way they jump from one story to another. I believe there might be only one more episode left for which I'll be grateful.
Does anyone know if Better Call Saul will be back?[/QUO
We've watched Indian Summers as well, but also find it REALLY hard to follow. My husband and I thought that perhaps we missed an episode or two and that was why we were having a hard time following the story line, but I guess we're not alone. Love Foyle's War and Dr. Blake Mysteries. I think the episodes we've seen though are older and we're not sure if the show will return or not. In the last episode Dr. Blake was off to Singapore to find his daughter. Hope he comes back!!!! Also like Downton Abbey.... sad that January begins the final season. Love Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and Home Fires. Wow, I guess almost everything we watch with the exception on NCIS, Bones and Major Crimes is something on PBS. I can still remember filing into our assembly hall on Tuesday mornings to watch "New Math" being taught on PBS. I guess "we've come a long way baby!"

I'm enjoying the BBC Indian Summer series. Hubster and I also like Madame Secretary, Chicago Fire and Chicago PD, Criminal Minds, Limitless, The Blacklist, The Player, The Amazing Race, Last Man Standing, Blue Bloods, CSI: Cyber, The Mysteries of Laura, Blindspot, and The Voice. We record them, usually watching 2 in an evening. If one of us gets sick that person usually watching a few more. I thought it was a pretty good season. I am excited tfor Major Crimes to come back and we look forward to Downton Abbey.

My guilty pleasure as my son calls it is Project Runway. I love following the designers and they are genuinely nice people now unlike when the show first started. My 13 year old and I also love The Middle and the Goldbergs, middle America humor.

Poldark will be returning, along with Sherlock and Downton Abbey around January. The Poldark is pretty faithful to the ten novels, so far at least. My darling DIL and I love The Great British Bake show, although there are only two programs remaining. I'm missing Person of Interest, even though it had gotten itself into a rabbit's hole, from which I couldn't see much future. I love the PBS/BBC programs, even the difficult-to-follow Indian Summer, because they bring many eras alive by explaining the contexts. It's easy to see why Indians wanted to be free of the Raj, when you see how they were treated by the Brits; but then we see Home Front, which takes place only 5 years later in Britain and we see how "ordinary" Brits faced the War. I loved Foyle's War, which showed both the heroism and the war-profiteering that went on during the War. Then came Call the Midwives and Bletchly Circle, where we saw that the after-effects of the War lasted for years, with rationing not ending until the early 1950's. It's amazing that, with all the devastation shown in Midwives, the Brits were able to rebuild and to try to rectify centuries of inequalities by offering health care to all. My favorite program is still on, but I can't get it on Dish, which dropped Ovation just before the end of the current season of The Artful Detective/Murdock Mysteries. I'm going to have to break down and find out how to get and use Netflix. Then I'll be able to keep getting full episodes of the British Antiques Roadshow.

I'm another one who is disappointed in what is on TV these days. So tired of horror shows and lame reality shows along with all the phony drama that is added. I like Last Man Standing, Poldark, Doc Martin, Downton Abby. I watch Home Fires just because it's there and not in love with Indian Summer. Bones I like--they have managed that marriage and separation much better than that on Castle which I have a hard time watching now--still haven't figured out why they are separated. Those of us in Alaska have a lot of laughs about the absurdity of the Alaska shows--you'd think we still live without electricity and all the finer things in life. Mostly we have TV on just for the sake of noise--lol.

We watch a lot of PBS. When I sew, it's sometimes Hallmark, which is predictable, but sweet. What I am tired of is everything seems to start or lead to killing, murder and death. I do enjoy family sagas and history type programs...American Pickers is good...my Dad was quite a collector, so I enjoy seeing what things bring.

I like a variety of shows. For fun I watch The Middle and Big Bang. I am hooked on Walking Dead, it's not about zombies, zombies are just in it. Netflix and Amazon have great original programming. I also watch Acorn TV which has BBC miniseries and shows. I finished watching the new season of Longmire two episodes at a time.
