Yes, I loved the movie Out of Africa, Gone with the Wind, Insurgent, Allegient, Contact, all of the Love Come Softly Movie Series, The Sarah Plain and Tall movie series, and many drama and certain particular Science Fiction Movies, and I watch The Song of Burnadette over and over in about three different versions. I also like movies such as Daisies In December, Pride and Prejudiced, most of the Holocaust type movies (thought sad) but like to hear their stories. Well, you get the idea.

For series 24, Wayward Pines, Colony, and the HGTV shows, but cannot stand "Love It or List It." lol....or the "Property Brothers" who always lie to them. lol....I like watching the Tiny Houses. I like the Animal shows like "Who Gets the Dog" etc. I also like Flashpoint and Cops Reloaded, and Alaska State Troupers. An older show we love is Hazel.

Presently watching the Olympics.

I have most of the books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, and books left to me by my mother about the Amish Lives. Other devotional books, and some still to be read. Best of all is my bible (both actual and online).

Agree to all! I just watched Misery yesterday. I would say I have watched Delores well over 100 times. I put it on while in my sewing room.

Ube, Have you seen American Horror Story? Kathy Bates is awesome in that.

"As to television I loved Downton Abbey. Now watching Father Brown and Midwives. British television seems to be more interesting to me, even though I sometimes have trouble understanding the dialogue."

I have trouble with accents. I turn on the CC captioned part on my TV, Works great and I don't miss anything.

I love stories about human intrest. I just finished watching the whole series of "60 Days In'. It's about a group of people who volunteered to go to jail for 60 days to tell the officials what was wrong with the jail. Very interesting. the new season starts tonight.
I also love My 600 lb Life. I watch before dinner, and I eat half of what I normally would. My heart really goes out to these people.
My all time FAVORITE is, "My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding". I LOVE the gaudy gowns and their life stories. I learn how others live, and their cultural differences.

Lynnie, I have watched "My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding" and also "Toddlers and Tiaras" with my daughter. Some of their lives fascinate me. I'm going to watch "60Days In." That sounds like something that would interest me too.

I've seen "My 600 Pound Life." I feel very sad for anyone who has to struggle with that magnitude of a weight problem. I have had heavier friends tell me some of their issues and I don't think the average person realizes the problems a very large person is faced with. Something as simple as walking down the aisle of a store and it not being wide enough, or finding a seat to sit at in a restaurant or theater, can be traumatic. I had one friend who had to pay for two seats on an airplane. Someone who is very large also gets winded fast and has trouble with mobility. They are at risk for a multitude of diseases. A person who is very large also has problems with their skin. Trapped moisture can propagate sores that have trouble healing and lead to infection. I can't even imagine how defeated I would feel to know I needed to lose such a large amount of weight. Also, people can be so cruel! As sad as it is to admit, when I watch these types of shows, I feel more like my own life is manageable.
