All good choices, interesting thing about Chips, have you noticed that they never fired their gun??
Even officer Dan Mathews in the old Highway Patrol not only shot the bad guys, but shot to kill.
Right now, Emergency is on..

Black Bird on Apple+ TV. I've heard it gets really good, but I'm not there yet. Creepy and interesting alleged serial killer, though.

OK, just watched the first 2 episodes. A bit too much drama/tragedy but the weirdness will keep me watching.

There is just enough quirkyness and weirdness to wonder whats going to happen next

I loved that 70's theme song of Emergency, with the sirens tapped into the swinging song. I recorded just the theme song on my realistic tape recorder and jammed out to it as a kid! Chips had motorcycle races, off road races, car chases and Ponch doing Karate and Danny Bonaduce working the num-chuks. Maybe not shooting the guns is what kept us interested? I know the bikini broads kept me watching.

I can't say I'd recommend Black Bird too much. It was only a 6 episode series, but it was based on a true story of a serial killer. I have to say Paul Walter Hauser (who played the killer) was pretty interesting. I'm not familiar with this actor, but he was the one who played the title character in Richard Jewell, which I didn't see. An interesting and good actor.

yelling at clouds - and watching the Beverly Hillbillies? no thanks.
i'll take the modern "dirty commie" stuff.

It might be worth checking out these episodes of The Outer Limits:

An episode I remember liking was "The Architects for Fear," where a group of scientists drew lots to become the one surgically altered to be an alien invader to unite the earth. It was on this list (and the one above):

You may want to give Terminal List and Reacher from Amazon Prime a try.

Not on TV but on Youtube, Bang Shift is streaming Rocky Mountain Race week live. If you like drag racing this is for you. Guys drive around 1000 miles this week stopping at different drag strips and making passes. One guy is running low 7s at 199 mph.

Severance. A science fiction psychological thriller from Apple TV. First episode was very interesting. I am hoping it continues to be.

Severance is pretty good. Now I have to wait for season 2. Also decided to give a second try to, Better Call Saul. Made it through season 1. Starting season 2 but not sure I will stay with it. Jury is still out........

[JackDidley]

Ive watched a season of Better Call Saul. Not sure I will continue. Just not sure. Also watching, Chuck. I watched it when it first run. It is still good.

[JackDidley]

Just stated watching Goliath. An Amazon series with Billy Bob Thornton. If you like BBT, you have to watch this.

Watched it maybe a year or so ago and you will love it. Very well done!

I've been working at my Mom's place over the last couple weeks and at times will switch from my music playing to having the TV on while I work.

You know what show I've been enjoying the most?

The old western show called "The Virginian" starring James Drury. It's on GRIT TV mid-mornings.

Third longest running western on network TV behind Gunsmoke and Bonanza.

I've already seen most of the episodes but still enjoy the reruns.

I believe it was the first TV drama to go to a 90 minute format.

About the only thing I watch is Wheeler Dealers. I find it a bit of an educational. Cars that I don't like or care about I still watch and are impressed with Ant/Ed's skills and learn a bit in the process.

I always watch the news, and spend half the day on news sites.
