I've also been watching some kids shows with my daughter even though she's only 8.5 months and doesn't understand what's going on. Sometimes she'll watch for as much as 3 minutes so I get a short break from her rearranging the living room. At least that's the excuse I'm using.
Ollie & Moon on Netflix is a pretty good kids show.
Hilda on Netflix is an excellent cartoon. I've, I mean we've, watched the series twice now. It's only 13 episodes and I hope they make more. It's about a little girl who befriends elves, helps giants, and deals with trolls among other things. I think I'm going to order a DVD copy so I can make sure it's available for my daughter when she's older.

I gave up tv years ago. Hate it with a passion. Other then maybe one or two movies at a movie theater a year, that's it. Would much rather read a book and enjoy a pipe. 
Just watched the 1978 BBC documentary on Hunter S. Thompson and Ralph Steadman's road trip across America.
Hunter was such an amazing bloke, I watched a 6 min piece of telly from 1968 (also included below) in which Hunter argues with one of the Hells Angels who he spent time with doing his book.
The guy recounts the story about one of the Hells Angels called 'Junkie' George beating up his girlfriend and nobody doing anything to stop it, so Hunter stepped in and promptly got his arse kicked by 3 or 4 of the Angels for trying to do the right thing.
The guy was fearless, a total one off and an absolute legend.

Same, though I watched El Camino when it came out. One more year and I'll have forgotten enough of it that I'll have some surprises as it twists and turns.
I admire this, but I can't do the same. Love a lot of it, but there's also tons of dreck to avoid.I gave up tv years ago. Hate it with a passion. Other then maybe one or two movies at a movie theater a year, that's it. Would much rather read a book and enjoy a pipe.
I used to feel the same, I got rid of my TV many years ago & loved to read & pipe. But after a bad spell in hospital I couldn't read, so now I'm retired I got my TV back & I multitask & listen to audio books during the day & watch some TV in the evening... I hope to get back to reading my paperbooks, one day.I gave up tv years ago. Hate it with a passion. Other then maybe one or two movies at a movie theater a year, that's it.

Inglorious Basterds. It's making me regret that my collection is calabash-free.
I call it watching but, just because I'm looking at it over on the BBC and Daily News websites.
Rod Stewart's amazing 124 foot train set that (supposedly) took him 24 years to build.
Outstanding.

That's a Strambach if you're looking for one. Beautiful calabash pipes from them.?
Currently watching the documentary Who Killed Nancy about the murder of Nancy Spungen.

Unfortunately, no. Thought of getting one many times after owning a Pioneer, just never got around to it. I've never heard negative reviews on them though.
I watched the Country Music Awards last night, and watching Willie Nelson sing (probably his last time) was a tear jerker. He could barely breath, much less sing.
